DAILY BRIEF
22 JANUARY 1965
1. South Vietnam
2, Colombia
3. Laos
4. West Germany
5. South Korea
Buddhist leader Tri Quang says
that today's demonstration outside the
US Embassy--in which several Vietnamese
were injured--is "only the beginning."
There may be more Buddhist demonstra-
tions tomorrow in Saigon and elsewhere.
Tri Quang hopes to spark another mili-
tary coup in order to oust Premier
Huong.
The unions are calling for a gen-
eral strike on Monday. Troops have
been moved into position to control
disturbances.(
A Communist attack of some inten-
sity has developed in the past few days
near Sam Neua, and may turn into a ma-
jor action. Press reports of a large
enemy force are probably exaggerated,
but the 700-odd friendly troops in the
vicinity appear to be falling back under
the weight of the attack. (See map.)
Erhard's talk with De Gaulle developed
little that was new. Erhard apparently
feels that relations have genuinely im-
proved.
The political ruckus over the pro-
posed 2,000-man force for South Vietnam
may be subsiding. The opposition now
says they had not realized the original
suggestion came from President Johnson.

6. UAR
7. Indonesia
Tension is mounting between the
two main organized forces in the coun-
try: the Communists and the army. Army
leaders say that the Communist Party
plans to overthrow the government, and
they have alerted their forces. This
may be no more than political maneuver-
ing, Indonesian style. At the least,
it bespeaks active concern within the
army over growing Communist influence
and pressure.
