DAILY BRIEF
12 OCTOBER 1966
1. Vietnam
2. South Vietnam
The latest cabinet crisis may be
moving toward a solution. The six pro-
southern ministers who submitted their
resignations last week were Ky's guests
at dinner last night.

They may soon with-
draw their resignations. Other men are
urging the six to press on for more con-
cessions from Ky, but so far with little
apparent success. 50X1

Former premier Adoula, who is leav-
ing shortly to become the Congo's ambas-
sador to Washington, had an audience
earlier in the week with President Mobutu.
Shortly afterward a much depressed
Adoula gave Ambassador Godley the follow-
ing limmary of Mobutu's view of his own
personal position.
"He has tackled the Belgians and
has won hands down; he has thrown out
the Portuguese. He is about to take on
other Western powers and will handle
them in a similar fashion for he is con-
vinced that he is feared by everyone due
to the strong backing he has both in his
own country and in the continent."
