DAILY BRIEF
24 FEBRUARY 1965

4. Malaysia
Government and friendly tribal
forces are still trying to contain the
Communist clearing operation southwest
of Samneua that started about three
weeks ago. Information is fragmentary
about what is happening in this remote
area deep in Communist-held territory,
but it appears that the position of
friendly forces has improved since their
initial setbacks. Reinforcements have
been sent to the area, and more are
planned. (Map)
UN mediator Plaza says that Makar-
ios has agreed to renewal of the mandate
for the UN peacekeeping force. Earlier,
there had seemed to be a fair chance
that Makarios might make trouble about
this.
Premier Kosygin has accepted an in-
vitation to visit West Germany, probably
some time this summer. The Germans have
long wished to explore directly the pos-
sibilities for improving relations with
Moscow. The Soviets, however, have al-
ways made clear that improvement would
depend on Bonn's willingness to deal
with the East Germans.
Prime Minister Rahman has appar-
ently agreed to go through with the
meeting in Bangkok next week proposed by
Indonesian Foreign Minister Subandrio.
For their part, the Indonesians appear
to have no intention of stopping infil-
tration operations in Borneo and against
the mainland, although they promised to
do so if the Malaysians would agree to
hold talks.

5. Congo
6. Vietnam
Another Congolese aircraft seems
to have overflown Uganda territory on
Monday. According to Ugandan inter-
cepts, which probably exaggerate, it
bombed and strafed a school, wounding
some children.
The news apparently has enraged
Ugandan Prime Minister Obote, who has
been in a highly emotional state since
the first attack a few days ago. Obote
may now announce the support he has been
giving the Congolese rebels, using this
latest incident as justification. The
Ugandan Army units which crossed into
the Congo on 16-17 February have with-
drawn. (Map)
General Khanh seems to be going
through with the agreed plan for his de-
parture. He and his family leave tomor-
row for Hong Kong.
Buddhist leaders are said to have
suspended political action until disa-
greements among them about objectives
can be ironed out. Some of them are
apprehensive about the speed with which
Generals Thi and Ky succeeded in remov-
ing Khanh.
Both Thi and Ky are moving fast to
put their own men into key slots, such
as the National Police post and divisional
commands near Saigon, and to otherwise
consolidate their control over the Armed
Forces Council. Thi seems to be out in
front in this process./
