DAILY BRIEF
27 FEBRUARY 1965
1. Vietnam
2. France
The South Vietnamese air force
this morning left what it believes to
be another camouflaged Viet Cong vessel
in a burning and sinking condition off
the coast of Kien Hoa Province, south
of Saigon. A SOuth Vietnamese Junk
force is trying to reach the scene.
No major new Viet Cong military
actions have been noted, but there are
further signs of erosion in the govern-
ment's position in the northern provinces.
One district chief in the area says that
he has lost control over 16 villages '
this month. (See map)
Hanoi's treatment of Kosygin's TV
performance yesterday was brief; almost
curt. ,It did not even refer to the So-
viet leader's circumlocutions about
negotiations. Hanoi did publish another
strong denunciation of "frantic" US ac-
tivities in Vietnam and predicted their
"sure defeat." Ambassador Taylor thinks,
as do we, that the North Vietnamese are
not much interested in negotiations, or
a conference, just now. Peiping has not
mentioned the subject in the past few
days. Neither has Moscow, except for
what can be read into Kosygin's speech.
The French now say that Gromyko
will not after all visit .Paris around
20 March. The Paris press has been
speculating that the Soviet foreign min-
ister was coming for further soundings
on Vietnam negotiations.

3. Indonesia

5. West Germany
Djakarta is evidently prepared to
countenance, if not actually connive in,
a new rash of anti-American incidents.
Government officials are openly talking
about the coming "Indonesianization" of
remaining US businesses. American tour-
ists have, for the first time, been
harried by a leftist mob in East Java.
Foreign Minister Subandrio says that all
USIS buildings and activities are being
closed down to prevent their "poisoning"
Indonesian thinking.
Ugandan Prime Minister Obote ac-
knowleOged yesterday to Ambassador Deming
that Ugandan troops had entered the Congo,
but only in "hot pursuit" of Congolese
invaders. Obote was unyielding about ne-
gotiating the border problem. Deming also
found Obote exhibiting symptoms of the
"Nyerere syndrome," a conviction that the
US is out to overthrow him.
In Leopoldville, Tshombe has not yet
made up his mind to attend the OAU minis-
ters meeting in Nairobi. He evidently
hopes that the Congo question will not
come before the conference until next week.
