DAILY BRIEF
25 OCTOBER 1965
1. Dominican Republic
2. India-Pakistan
Elements of the Inter-American Peace
Force occupied the former rebel zone this
morning; they countered no resistance or
other major problems. The mood of the
citizenry, however, was said to be hos-
tile.
At last report the search for arms
has again been held up this afternoon
pending a decision on how it should pro-
ceed.
Radio Santo Domingo has broadcast
a Presidential communiqu?nnouncing
that Dominican military forces are being
removed from their positions in the city
and will be garrisoned until further no-
tice. It is not known whether the mili-
tary will comply with this order which
would apparently forbid them from par-
ticipating in the arms collection opera-
tion.
Garcia Godoy still maintains that
the military leaders must be replaced
or he and his entire cabinet will re-
sign. He has warned that the provisional
government may well fall within two days
if no action is taken.
Reports of rightist plotting are
continuing.
Both governments have recalled their
high commissioners from the other's coun-
try for "consultation." While this does
not necessarily presage a break in rela-
tions, it does indicate that the situa-
tion is continuing to deteriorate. In
the past, the commissioners on both sides
remained at their posts even during the
height of the fighting.
Karachi has accepted Ti Thant's pro-
posal to send a personal representative
to India and Pakistan to discuss plans
for troop withdrawal. New Delhi has
still not responded.

3. Indonesia
The military chiefs seem to have
made some progress over the weekend
toward neutralizing their 'archrival,
First Deputy Prime Minister Subandrio.
In the process, Sukarno and Defense Min-
ister Nasution have been working out what
appears to be a temporary accommodation.
The Japanese ambassador, who has
close connections with the palace, says
that the military has intervened to pre-
vent Subandrio from leaving the country
today for Algiers. The ambassador
claims that Subandrio is under virtual
detention.
Sukarno has also agreed under mili-
tary pressure to cancel his appointment
of a new chief of army intelligence. The
new man was particularly obnoxious to the
military because of his close relation-
ship with Subandrio.
As a reflection of this changing
situation, Nasution came out with a
frank political statement over Radio
Indonesia today. His remarks were di-
rected particularly against Subandrio
and Subandrio's intelligence service and
against the Indonesian Communist Party.
He also spelled out the army's resolve
to rout out the traitors in the armed
forces.
In the provinces, the East Java
military command has suspended the Com-
munist Party and its affiliates. Commu-
nist activities have now been outlawed
in all of Java, in the Celebes and sev-
eral other provinces.
