DAILY BRIEF
2 OCTOBER 1965
1. Indonesia
Sukarno's whereabouts and status
are still unclear. The countercoup
forces of General Suharto have continued
to maintain the initiative and Djakarta
is relatively calm.
Suharto reportedly has the army's
largest division, the navy, marines and
police on his side. The air force, under
Marshal Dani, is apparently still support-
ing Col. Untung and the other original
plotters. No air actions have been noted,
however.
One report claims that Untung and
Dani have fled the capital for Central
Java. Elements of an army division in
the latter area have come out for Untung.
Suharto, however, has apparently sent
troops from Djakarta to deal with the
problem.
The Indonesian Communist Party has
put itself clearly on the side of the
first plotters. The US consul in Medan
reports that army officers there are pre-
paring a Communist "clean up" operation.
Outside Communist reaction is still
slight. So far, only Moscow newspapers
are reporting the Indonesian story and
their articles are copies of US and French
dispatches. (Map)

2. Dominican Republic The first reintegration of rebel mili-
tary personnel took place yesterday. Seven
officers returned to their old units. It
is now hoped that between 10 and 20 reinte-
gration cases can be handled daily.
The provisional government has still
received only token quantities of rebel
arms.

3. Vietnam
4. Bolivia
The North Vietnamese are moving
ahead with a program to vitalize their
air defenses.
So far, Hanoi has used its fighter
force very sparingly in combat.
South Vietnam is relatively calm.
The government has withdrawn eight of the
ten battalions committed to a search
operation southwest of Saigon after the
Viet Cong broke off contact. No major
fighting was reported elsewhere.
Mine leaders have demanded that the
government withdraw its troops from the
mines and restore the pre-May wage
scales. /
Bolivia, at this point, is quiet,
but there may be more violence if a
quick compromise is not reached.
5. Ecuador ?There may be a new round of out-
breaks in Guayaquil.
a number of
dissident elements are planning terrorist
activities during the October holidays
which begin next week.

6. India-Pakistan
Karachi radio continues to report
heavy fighting in the Chhamb area. The
Pakistani representative to the United
Nations alleges that Indian troops in
brigade strength began the attack on
30 September. An Indian official has
confirmed that there is fighting in the
region, but he could provide no details.
The US Embassy in New Delhi believes
that the United Nations Observer Mission
is still wobbly and ineffective. There
is a pressing need for firm on-the-spot
UN leadership since Indian officials are
said to be poorly informed and baffled as
to how to proceed.
Bunche at the UN has reported that
U Thant ordered the slowdown on the re-
cruitment of observer groups as a result
of Soviet and French pressure.
Ayub, in his monthly speech to the
country yesterday, reemphasized the
necessity for a permanent Kashmir settle-
ment, but did not mention a plebiscite
or press for a specific solution. (Map)
