DAILY BRIEF
21 JANUARY 1965
South Vietnam: Premier Huong, still
trying to buy the support of the
military against his Buddhist opposi-
tion, has agreed to dispose of two
more ministers under attack by the
"Young Turks" and to appoint sev-
eral military vice ministers. Bud-
dhist leaders now say that stability 50X1
is not possible so long as Huong and
General Khanh remain on the scene.
President's Speech: Foreign reac-
tion to the foreign policy aspects
of the Inaugural Address has begun
to come in. Commentary in Western
Europe and Latin America has been
generally favorable. Predictably,
East German and Cuban comments have
struck a critical note, linking the
passages on loss of American lives
abroad to US "global" interventions.
Soviet media thus far have carried
brief factual accounts.
South Korea: The government has run
into political flak over its decision
to send 2,000 troops into South Viet-
nam. Its resolve to do so may weaken.

Cuba: Cuban optimism over this
year's sugar prospects may be jus-
tified. Estimates by US experts
indicate an output of 4.5 to 5 mil-
lion tons this year. Last year's
was less than 4 million tons.
Indonesia: Foreign Minister Suban-
drio left yesterday for Peiping

Burundi: The suspected assassin,
who first claimed that he had been
hired by the Americans to kill the
prime minister, has now changed his
story. He now implicates agents of
the Chinese Communists. The King,
who seems intent on curbing the Chi-
nese, has named a moderate leader
as the new prime minister.
