DAILY BRIEF
28 OCTOBER 1965
L. Indonesia
2. South Vietnam
Sukarno still defends the Commu-
nists and their ally, Deputy Prime Min-
ister Subandrio. Sukarno's speech last
night on these themes was a poor thing,
however, and he failed to show up for a
ceremony this morning at which he might
have made some points.

tional North Vietnamese regulars have
been infiltrated into South Vietnam over
the past two months, most likely via the
improved infiltration routes through Laos.
The evidence is not conclusive, but
it points to the presence of two more
regimental-size groups of North Viet-
namese. Elements of one may have taken
part in the extended engagement at Plei
Me.

3. Pakistan
4. Rhodesia
5. Burundi
The Iranian ambassador in Karachi
has now related to Ambassador McConaughy
what Pakistani officials told him regard-
ing the Chinese Communist aid promises
The Ira-50X1
nian says he was informed that Peking
offered jet fighters as well as a "tank
factory."
However open-handed the Chinese may
have been verbally, their ability to fol-
low through on such offers is very lim-
ited indeed. China's own facilities
came in large measure from the Soviet
Union, and took years to put into work-
ing order.
Meanwhile, a new Soviet aid mission
has been welcomed to Pakistan and given
a lengthy shopping list of economic de-
velopment projects.
Prime Minister Wilson will probably
wind up his visit to Salisbury on Satur-
day unless there is some new break in
the situation. It is still too early to
tell what, if any, effect his moves this
week have had, but he has at least kept
the Rhodesians talking.
Charges are now circulating that the
US backed the recent coup attempt against
the government.
A new round of executions today in-
creases the chances of an outbreak of
serious tribal warfare.
6. Dominican Republic There have been no significant new
developments today. Some new demonstra-
tions reportedly are being planned for
this weekend, and talk of organizing a
"general strike" persists.
