DAILY BRIEF
4 JULY 1967
South Vietnam
2. North Vietnam
Ky claims he will be the real
executive authority and that Thieu has
agreed to function as only a figure-
head if the two men are elected in
September. Barring some unforeseen
development, they look like a shoo-in.
No matter what Thieu may have
agreed to, Thieu when elected will
have the constitutional authority and
will be unlikely to give it up.
On the senatorial election front,
there are now 640 candidates for 60
seats. Under Vietnam's jerry-built
election law, each voter will vote
for six slates of 10 candidates each.
By any way of figuring it, however,
there are far too many candidates.
3. Soviet Union Gromyko and company are schedule
to leave New York for home on Friday.

4. Middle East
5, Yemen
6. Yugoslavia
No further exchanges of fire be-
tween Egyptians and Israelis have been
reported overnight. The Israelis have
announced that 14 of their men were
wounded during the three days of clashes.
The word from the UN is that the
consultations late last night between
the nonaligned and Latin American groups
to try to get some sort of compromise
resolution did not succeed.
Tito's decision to side with Mos-
cow on the Arab-Israeli war has not been
welcomed by all metbprs of the Yugoslav
hierarchy. A number of top Yugoslays
apparently feel Tit9 was much too hasty
in rushing to embrace the Arabs. Yugo-
slav officials in the US fear an economic
boycott by Jewish-owned firms doing
business with Belgrade.
