DAILY BRIEF
2 SEPTEMBER 1965
1. Kashmir
2. USSR
Pakistan asserts that its forces are
driving' toward Akhnur, 30 miles inside
the truce line (see map).
The Indians deny this, but admit
that heavy fighting is going on without
specifying exactly where. If the Paki-
stani claim is anywhere near accurate,
then Pakistani forces are close to cut-
ting Indian supply roads to Poonch and
Srinagar. This would surely provoke a
major Indian riposte.
Fighting is also reported in an
area some 30 miles north of Chhamb.
Charges by both that US military
aid materiel is being used lack confirma-
tion.
Elsewhere, there is reason to be-
lieve that two Indian divisions are mov-
ing toward the Punjab border, which was
heavily reinforced by India and Pakistan
during the spring confrontation over the
Rann of Kutch.
Communal tensions are said to be
rising in both countries.
Neither side is likely, in the pres-
ent circumstances, to pay much heed to
U Thant's cease-fire appeal.)
Advance elements of a Soviet eco-
nomic aid delegation arrived in Karachi
Sunday.
The local press says they will be
looking into the feasibility of Soviet
support for a number of projects in Paki-
stan's third five-year plan. Their visit
could be connected with a sizable aid
package reportedly suggested by Pakistan
in early August.

3. USSR
4. USSR
Satellite photography, taken 17-21
August, produced additional evidence that
the Soviet Union is readying a defensive
shield for its vital northwest with so-
phisticated radar and long-range defen-
sive missile complexes (see map).
The primary mission of these facili-
ties is not entirely clear. They may be
designed to guard against incoming bombers,
missiles, or both.
5. Dominican Republic
The installation ceremonies for the
Garcia Godoy government are set for late
tomorrow. The ceremonies will probably
come off quietly enough, although there
are armed groups in both rebel and loyal-
ist camps who are against the present set-
tlement. Former president Juan Bosch has
been telling his followers that he will
return to Santo Domingo soon, perhaps by
mid-month.

6. South Vietnam
7. Japan
8. Indonesia
The student agitation in Hue appears
to be losing its force.
The attempt to export the antigovern-
ment movement to other areas has not had
impressive success. Our embassy in Sai-
gon believes one reason for the campaign's
loss of steam is that Buddhist leader Tri
Quang evidently is not ready to join in
a big way.
The "struggle" in Hue thus seems to
be a probe to test the extent of antigov-
ernment sentiment and the government's
response. So far, the embassy believes
that Thieu and company have reacted with
caution, firmness, and even some finesse.
The new Socialist Party head has been
shifting the party toward the extreme
left and has indicated that the struggle
must be in the streets as well as in the
Diet.
US policies in Vietnam and economic
conditions at home are also on the left-
ists' target list. So far, they have
not been too successful in building up
popular steam on these matters.
Sukarno continues his anti-Western
way.
He has ordered his minions to brew
up an international "anti-military bases"
conference for October. Its preparatory
committee is headed by one of the Indo-
nesian Communist Party's foreign relations
specialists. The tenor of the committee's
efforts so far indicates that the confer-
ence will concentrate its fire on US bases.
On the domestic front, Communists
and their fellow travelers, encouraged
by a recent Sukarno speech, are pressing
for a further purge of the dwindling anti-
Communist ranks.
