North Vietnam: The Soviets seem to be mounting a
concerted campaign to persuade the US to expand the pro-
jected holiday bombing pause of North Vietnam into an in--
definite suspension of air attacks.
:A Soviet diplomat in London told a US correspond-
ent last week that he personally felt the Soviet Union
could persuade Hanoi to enter negotiations if the US did
not set a time limit on the pause. In addition, a Soviet
Foreign Ministry official recently assured a Western
ambassador that Hanoi would agree to talks within three
weeks if the US would stop bombing. j
Further Soviet approaches along this line are ex-
pected. Similar demarches were forthcoming from
Moscow prior to the 1966 Christmas pause. There is
no indication at this time that Moscow is acting at
Hanoi's behest, although the North Vietnamese would
doubtless welcome as lengthy a respite as possible.
South Vietnam: First reports on Operation CORO-
NADO IX indicate that 235 Viet Cong were killed in a
day-long battle on 4 December in the Mekong Delta some
66 miles southwest of Saigon.
The recent upsurge of enemy activity in the Mekong
Delta may well be part of a country-wide offensive aimed
at demonstrating Communist military capabilities and
at proving to the populace that South Vietnamese author-
ities are unable to provide effective security. Along
with the threat from main force units in the central high--
lands, northern III Corps and the Demilitarized Zone,
these small-scale activities helo to tie down and spread
out Allied units.
