DAILY BRIEF
14 MAY 1965
Dominican Republic
LATE ITEM
New signs come in that the rebels
are trying to spread their movement to
the countryside.
The rebel radio came back On the air
this morning and the propaganda offen
sive continues. Yesterday's strafing
apparently did very little damage. No
new loyalist plans against the station
have been reported.
The UN Security Council unanimously
voted for a cease-fire today and asked
U Thant to send a personal representa-
tive.
The Organization of American States
was scheduled to meet at 5:00 p.111 EDT
to consider the "serious deterioration."
Yesterday's air strike on the radiosta-
tion may have been instrumental in alarm-
ing some members.
The first Latin American contingent
for the Inter-American.Force arrived to-
day. A 250-man Honchlran force landed
by air. Twenty-five Costa Ricans are
due tomorrow,

8. Libya
The junta is frantically trying to
keep the lid on as support for the men-
chant strikers in Guayaquil grows.
Student, labor, and other groups
have joined in the protest against
higher customs duties. Regional anti-
pathy toward the central government is
also being. whipped up by those hoping
for wider antigovernment. action.."
The junta considers it is fighting
for its life and is acting accordingly.
It has arrested leaders of the merchants'
group; Communist'Jeaders are also in
custody. Arrests of some military plot-
ters have been made, but anti-junta feel-
ing in the military probably persists.
' The US Embassy believes that if the
?junta succeeds in putting out this fire,
it could emerge stronger than ever over
the short term. If its victory involves
much bloodshed, however, a sharp reaction
could shorten its tenure.
Bolivia's national teachers' asso-
ciation is threatening a teachers' strike
in support of demands for a-pay raise.
Already there have been strikes in some
localities, and the sentiment for a nation-
wide strike is strong.
This is a political hot potato for
the Barrientos regime. An earlier
teachers' strike started the chain of
events which led to the downfall of ex-
President Paz.
Five capped oil wells belonging to
a joint America-British company were
sabotaged with explosives this morning.
Libyan security forces are
being rushed to the area.
The identity of the saboteurs has
not been established
