DAILY BRIEF
5 JULY 1965
1. Vietnam
2. USSR
Brezhnev's claim in a 3 July
speech that the Soviet Union has
"orbital rockets" at its disposal seems
to be nothing more than empty brag-
ging. There were no details given,
probably because there are none to
give.
The intelligence community has
estimated that the Soviets have a
capability of putting a nuclear-armed
satellite in orbit, but believes it
unlikely that they will do so. There
is no evidence that the Soviets have
solved the many technical problems
which must be overcome before a sat-
ellite bombardment system could begin
to approach the effectiveness of land-
based intercontinental missile systems

3. Dominican Republic The rebels seem to be on the
verge of a permanent split over the
question of negotiations.
4. Iraq
There has been more difficulty
in the interior during the past 24
hours, The chronic labor unrest at
the US-owned sugar complex at La
Romana broke out again yesterday when
three thousand workers went on strike,
protesting the arrest of several of
their union leaders.
Armed bands are reported in the hills
around one town and a state of alert
was declared last night at another.
The resignations of the pro-Nasir
cabinet members.
have accelerated the
Baghdad rumor mill,
The US Embassy--which calls the
situation "unpredictable"--is now re-
ceiving reports of plotting activity
by all sides, including the Communists.
The embassy believes, however, that
none of the factions will attempt a
viOlent solution over the short tun.
The most likely prospect is a temporary
compromise through a major reshilffling
of cabinet posts.
