South Vietnam 2. Korea 3. Arab States Yesterday's incidents south of the Demilitarized Zone resulted in some 29 casualties among UN forces, including US losses of one killed and 14 wounded. The previous day the North Koreans caused 16 casualties in a grenade at- tack on a South Korean Army checkpoint. Although these incidents are more grave than most that occur along the zone, official propaganda does not sug- gest the North Koreans have any terri- torial objectives in mind. Rather we believe the stepped-up attacks are aimed at discouraging the South Koreans from sending more troops to Vietnam. Prospects for success of the summit meeting that opens in Khartoum today are slim. Indeed some of the principals are losing their interest. Algerian Presi- dent Boumediene will not come and Syrian President Atassi reportedly will also stay home. Most of the other main actors as well as many lesser lights of the Arab world are expected however.

Thailand 5. Venezuela 6. Panama Venezuelan police scored an impressive victory in two operations last Friday against pro-Castro terrorists in Caracas. Two of the three terrorists killed were key men in the highly dangerous urban organization of Douglas Bravo. Friday's events as well as other re- cent setbacks will probably force Bravo's men in the capital to pause and lick their wounds for a while, but most of them remain at large. Panamanian negotiators and opponents of the draft treaties are both' very anxious to avoid any implication in the defense treaty that US military forces could remain in Panama "in perpetuity." The Panamanians are likely to press for ?a resolution of this problem before agree- ing to discuss. any other points of dif- ference. 50X1 50X1 50X1 50X1 Declassified in Part - Sanitized Copy Approved for Release 2015/07/24 : CIA-RDP79T00936A005400110001-5 Declassified in Part - Sanitized Copy Approved for Release 2015/07/24 : CIA-RDP79T00936A005400110001-5 Top Secret Declassified in Part - Sanitized Copy Approved for Release 2015/07/24 : CIA-RDP79T00936A005400110001-5
