DAILY BRIEF
13 SEPTEMBER 1965
1. India-Pakistan
Heavy fighting continues north of
Sialkot. Indian military spokesmen
claim their forces are within two miles
of the city despite heavy Pakistani coun-
terattacks.
Action in the Lahore sector has
evidently declined.
There has been no admission of any of
these claims from the Pakistani side,
but US personnel in Lahore confirm fir-
ing near the city.
Indian Defense Minister Chavan told
Ambassador Bowles 'this morning that the
Pakistanis have committed most of their
available ground :forces and that about
the same number of Indian troops have
been engaged. Consequently,he said, the
fighting could continue for some time.
He described Pakistani Army morale as
"very mixed."
Chavan stated that India's princi-
pal objectives are to show the Pakistanis
that India cannot be pushed around and
to "get rid of the unrelenting Pakistani
pressures on Kashmir." India, he added,
has no desire to occupy Lahore and rea-
lizes that it has every reason to avoid
spreading the war to East Pakistan.
The Iranian ambassador to Pakistan
has informed Ambassador McConaughy of a
recent private conversation he had with
President Ayub and Foreign Minister Bhutto.
According to the Iranian, Ayub expressed
contempt for Sukarno and appeared real-
istic about Chinese cynicism in dealing
with the present situation. Ayub was
said to recognize the necessity of reach-
ing an "understanding" with the US.
Nevertheless, there is no sign of
any give by either side on the diplomatic
front.

5. Japan
report an increase in Chinese Communist
military activity along the Indian border
in late August and early September.
Some of this is probably routine,
but the reported increase in Chinese pa-
trolling could be related to the Indian-
Pakistani conflict. Aggressive patrolling
in this area, along with the menacing
Chinese statements against India, would
be designed to pin down Indian troops and
jangle nerves in New Delhi.
In the sudden operation by govern-
ment forces begun yesterday against dis-
sident Montagnard elements in the south-
ern highlands, South Vietnamese Marines
have captured about 600 mountain tribes-
men. US officials in Saigon are worried
that this move may touch off an uprising
by other Montagnard groups similar to
that of a year ago.
Sunday's rally was the largest demon-
stration put on by Japan's Communists since
1960. The Tokyo police estimate that
65,000 participated.
This was an impressive opening in
the Communist effort to block Japanese
ratification of the Japan-Korea treaty
next month. Ambassador Reischauer com-
ments that the large turnout demonstrates
the Communists' ability to mobilize large
. numbers when preparations are thorough
and begun well in advance.

6. Cyprus The Turks are prepared for trouble
tomorrow when they carry out the rota-
tion of their army contingent on Cyprus.
The chances seem good that there will be
no major incident this time, but the
Turks would probably react strongly to
any attempted obstruction to the rotation.
The Greek Cypriots have been in-
sisting on identity checks of Turkish
personnel and an accounting of equipment
to prevent stockpiling. At last word,
details still remained to be haggled
out on these issues.

7. Dominican Republic Disarmament of the rebel zone is
proceeding slowly. A caravan of cars
and buses did take about a hundred for-
mer rebel fighters to their home towns
in the interior yesterday and some rebel
defenses have been dismantled. The situa-
tion downtown still remains troublesome,
however, as food, housing, and discipline
problems mount.
Several of the men named by pro-
visional president Garcia Godoy to ju-
dicial positions have had Communist as-
sociations or sympathies. These appoint-
ments could impede the future prosecu-
tion of extremist subversives.
