DAILY BRIEF

Dominican Republic
LATE ITEM
(Information as of 5:30 p.m. EDT)
The rebel radio in Santo Domingo
continues to be a prime mover in keep-
ing the situation unsettled both in the
capital and elsewhere.
The rebel radio made a propaganda
claim at 1:00 p.m.. EDT that US troops
were "advancing." Several calls were
broadcast for rebel troops to open fire
if US forces did not "withdraw" into the
international zone. ,Subsequently, ac-
cording to press reports, heavy: firing
broke out along the US defense-perimeter.
Official reports on the fighting have
not yet come in.
The rebel radio has again been
heard loud and clear in the important
-Cibao valley around Santiago. The local
.Police chief is said to fear an uprising
if the radio is not silenced. The longer
the rebels hold out in Santo Domingo, the.
greater are the chances that the uprising
will spread.
A loyalist-F-51 fighter made a straf-
ing run on-the-radio building this after-
noon. The-radio went off the air shortly
thereafter, but this may have been only
a temporary-cessation.
On the political side, the meeting
between representatives of Imbert and
Caamano, -arranged for today by the dele-
gates of the-Organization of American
States, failed to come off because Caa-
mano declined to send his man.

DAILY BRIEF
13 MAY 1965
1. Vietnam
Small arms skirmishing continued
yesterday near Song Be in Phuoc Long
Province, as a: government clearing force
maintained contact with retreating Viet
Cong guerrillas. Today, Communist in-
surgents, disguised as South Vietnamese
marines, attacked,a textile mill on the
outskirts of Saigon. Heavy fighting
has broken out 100 miles southeast of
Saigon. (See map.)
2. Colombia The position of the Valencia admin-
istration remains shaky.

. Israel-Syria
4. Ecuador
5. Guatemala
Syrian forces opened fire today on
an Israeli border police patrol, which
returned the fire, supported by tanks.
Israeli Air Force planes were scrambled
at Tel Aviv and Haifa.
The US Army attach?eports that
the Israeli Army expects the northern
border will heat up considerably during
the imminentharvest season.
The junta and the Guayaquil busi-
ness community are locked in struggle
over a new tariff schedule, and the
situation is explosive.
Nearly all business houses in
Guayaquil have closed in protest. Busi-
ness is at a standstill, and the strike
shows signs of spreading to at least
two other coastal towns.
The junta appears determined to carry
out its policy and to impose the new sched-
ule and has clamped on a curfew and mar-
tial law.
Chief of Government Peralta appar-
ently has decided to postpone elections,
and continuesto clutch the reins himself.
There are other signs of increasing
dissension among the military, and the
conviction is spreading there as well as
among civilian-Apolitical groups that clan-
destine methods of opposition are becom-
ing the only recourse.

North Vietnam's Air Defenses
_Discovery, in U-2 photography of a second sur-
face-to-air missile site near Hanoi indicates that
_a ring of four sites--with six launchers each--is
planned to defend the capital. Work on the new
site was started last:week and is being pushed ahead
more swiftly than was construction on.the first.
As of now, no missiles or.:Telated equipment .have
been detected in the area.
High-altitude photography in the past few
weeks also discloses North Vietnamese efforts to
:improve jet:aircraft.facilities at several airfields.
At Phuc Yen, where Hanoi's jet fighter forces have
been based, 20 new revetments are being built in a
dispersal area some four miles from the main run-
way. A connecting taxiway is under construction..
Revetments with jet blast breaks have appeared
?at four other airfields: Gia Lam (Hanoi's commer-
cial airport), Cat Bi (Haiphong's commercial field),
Vinh, and Kep. (See map.) These revetments enable
the jets to use these airfields for recovery or dis-
persal.
Photography of 10 May establishes that the
North Vietnamese now have 57 jet fighters, 53 at Phuc
Yen and 4 at.Cat Bi. All are MIG-15 and MIG-17
types, roughly equivalent to the -US F-84 and F-86.
.In addition,.6 more jet fighter crates were spotted
in the photography.
Forty-four of these aircraft were flown in from
Communist China. The first group:arrived last August
:after the Tonkin Gulf.incidents. The latest batch
arrived in early. April. Soviet-supplied aircraft
first.appeared in May photography. The evidence in-
dicates they, were shipped by rail through China.
Chinese rail lines leading up.to the Vietnam border
-were closed to normal passenger and freight traffic
.in late April and early May. .
