DAILY BRIEF
10 NOVEMBER 1965
1. Indonesia
2. Rhodesia
Sukarno made a strong attempt to
lay down the line today. His speech at
Djakarta's "Heroes Day" celebrations
was essentially a warning to the army
and the politicians that he would ac-
cept no changes in Indonesia's ideologi-
cal makeup.
To reinforce this, Sukarno ordered
a cutback in the number of anti-Commu-
nist newspapers, and stressed that an
accommodation with the Communists would
continue. Speakers at a giant rally yes-
terday had asked Sukarno to do just the
opposite.
Sukarno's speech was in large part
a tirade. He struck at the army by re-
ferring to "witch hunts" against the
Communists. He also screamed that he
would ban any parties that disobeyed
him. He repeated at length his accusa-
tions of US subversion in Indonesia.
All of this was in sharp contrast
to General Nasution's radio speech the
night before. Nasution stuck to the
line that the military will not stop at
half measures to rout out the Communists
and hinted that Subandrio should be pun-
ished. On the face of it, the military
seems bent on continuing its policy of
ignoring Sukarno on key points at issue.
There has been no appreciable change
in the situation during the .past 24 hours.
Prime Minister Wilson has sent a
new message to Smith, but its contents
have not been released. Salisbury in
turn has not commented. It is unlikely
that this diplomatic juggling can go on
much longer.

3. Congo
4. North Vietnam
The government's military campaign
in the eastern Congo is running into
trouble. The rebels have recently oc-
cupied several strategic positions and
are currently threatening government con-
trol of large areas southwest of Fizi.
A US Embassy officer who visited
Albertville last week was told that the
rebels appear to be better armed than
the troops opposing them. Soviet and
Chinese Communist equipment is reportedly
being used and there are fresh reports
that Cuban advisers are on the scene.
Premier Pham Van Dong's oft-rumored
trip to Moscow and Peking last month was
to discuss "urgent economic matters,"/
Such a trip would probably also have
included attempts to probe the extent to
which North Vietnam can count on further
military aid.
The results of any discussions in
Moscow and Peking would weigh heavily in
any review by Hanoi of its policy on the
war. There have, indeed, been some slight
indications that such a review got under
way some weeks ago. There has been a
dearth of significant political commen-
tary by Hanoi recently. Also, the North
Vietnamese politburo was out of sight
during much of last month, suggesting
that a top party conference might have
been held.
The acting Polish member of the In-
ternational Control Commission told Am-
bassador Sullivan yesterday that he had
detected sharply contrasting views re-
cently among the leaders in Hanoi.

5. Cyprus
Turkey has reportedly filmed up its
contingency planning for military inter-
vention on Cyprus.
6. Dominican Republic
No troop landings are said to be
scheduled for the initial phase. These
presumably would come if an ultimatum
to the Greek Cypriot leaders following
the projected raids is turned down.
The political situation remains un-
changed.
GarOta Godoy is now involved in a
series of conversations with various po-
litical leaders to prepare the ground for
elections. We
ex-
pect that Garcia Godoy is attempting to
keep political maneuvering to a minimum
while the "political truce" is still in
effect.
Garcia Godoy told Ambassador Ben-
nett yesterday that the controversial
Morel Cerda would be leaving for his new
post as ambassador to Uruguay without
waiting for agrement from the Uruguayan
Government.
