DAILY BRIEF
4 MARCH 1965
1. Vietnam
Saigon today is alive with talk of
another coup, and some military and
police moves which may be related have
been noted. These coup rumors lack
specifics but they do reflect the deep
uneasiness which infects the South Viet-
namese establishment following the de-
parture of General Khanh.
Much of this swirls around General
Thi, whose power and ambition seem to
be growing. Thi is said to be maneuver-
ing to neutralize some of his fellow
"young Turks." Many of them in turn
are trying to engineer his ouster.
Buddhist leaders appear to be mark-
ing time. The influential Tri Quang
says he supports Quat because Quat has
"done nothing wrong yet." This is remi-
niscent of Quang's initial stance to-
ward the Huong government.
There have
been no further reports of Russian-
speaking pilots in North Vietnam.
No Chinese Communist or North Viet-
namese military shifts which can be
tied to the latest US air strikes have
been noted. The Chinese have lately
ordered that security on aircraft move-
ment be tightened,and this could mask
added southward fighter deployments.
Hanoi has relaxed the alert its forces
have been on for the past few days.
The Soviet statement on Vietnam
today went a bit further than previous
pronouncements in empahsizing the con-
sequences of US actions to US-Soviet
relations. Ambassador Kohler calls the
demonstration against the embassy to-
day the "most aggressive and nastiest"
in recent memory, despite the fact that
protective measures were stepped up in
anticipation,and the militia made a seri-
ous effort to control the crowd.
