DAILY BRIEF
25 SEPTEMBER 1965
1. India-Pakistan
2. Panama
Yesterday's breaches of the cease-
fire appear to have been brought under
control.
Ambassador Bowles believes that
Indian Prime Minister Shastri is seriously
considering a trip to the United Nations
sometime before 15 October, and that
Shastri may well hope to see President
Johnson.
Ayub meanwhile has turned down
with thanks the Soviet proposal that he
meet with Shastri and has urged the
Russians to use their influence in the
Security Council.

The Panamanian public's initial re-
action to the Canal treaty announcement is
reported to be generally favorable. Opinion
may take two or three days to jell, however.
President Robles' opponents are criti-
cal of the lack of detail in the announce-
ment, and the Communists have taken special
note of the fact that US bases are to stay.
Among Canal Zone residents, the reaction
so far is at best unenthusiastic, although
some say they are relieved because they
believe the announcement guarantees the
presence of US troops in the Zone.

3. Dominican Republic Juan Bosch returned to Santo Domingo
this morning./
4. Venezuela
Much will depend now on the tone
Bosch takes. If, as moderates and con-
servatives fear, Bosch comes out strongly
in support of the rebel cause, there al-
most certainly will be a sharp reaction
from the military, who are already deeply
disturbed by the provisional government's
policy of appeasement of the rebels.
In still another instance of this
policy, the provisional government yes-
terday confirmed the appointment of the
leftists' candidate to head the govern-
ment-owned sugar corporation and has
accepted the resignation of the previous
manager who had been under attack by
striking employees.

7. South Vietnam
Stephanopoulos got his confidence
vote last night, 152-148. A margin
this narrow, however, spells trouble
for the future. Leaders of the three
major parties are already talking about
holding demonstrations in Athens on
Monday.
More anti-government demonstrations
in northern South Vietnam may be in the
offing.
Buddhist leaders claim that at
least 2,000 of their followers from
Hue and Quang Tri will demonstrate in
the latter city tomorrow. The Buddhists
say that they will be protesting the
"oppressive policies" in Quang Tri
Province.
US officials in the area believe
that this could be the first sign of
open opposition by the Buddhists to the
controversial I Corps commander, Nguyen
Chanh Thi,
