DAILY BRIEF
26 APRIL 1967
1. Greece The country's new rulers clearly
expect to be around for some time.
2. North Vietnam
3. Nigeria
Official pronouncements reflect a
strongly "reformist" mission and a dis-
taste for professional politicians.
King Constantine now seems intent
on exerting whatever influence he can
toward moderation.
Silting is beginning to make it
difficult for large ships to get into
Haiphong harbor. At least four ships
have been held up for many days during
the past six weeks while waiting for the
needed extra high tide. The problem
will become worse with the coming mon-
soon season unless dredging begins soon.

President Robles returned from Punta
del Este brimming with optimism over his
talk with President Johnson.
5. Dominican Republic The United States Intelligence Board
has just approved a new Estimate on the
Dominican Republic. The principal con-
clusions are:
6. Japan
--President Balaguer will probably
be able to retain power for at
least the next year or so.
--The military leaders still regard
themselves as the final political
arbiters, but will probably hold
together behind the President.
--Leftist extremists are squabbling
among themselves and are likely
to remain in disarray for some
time. They are capable of sporadic
urban terrorism, but not much more.
--Political and economic pressures
could push Balaguer toward more
authoritarian methods.
--The economy will improve only
spottily.
--Any economic progress will remain
dependent on continuing substantial
US aid.
