DAILY BRIEF
I. THE COMMUNIST BLOC
rEast Germany: In response to the British protest
concerning the 21 June assault by East German secret po-
lice on the British military liaison mission in Potsdam, the
Soviet commander in chief in East Germany, although cool
and correct, took a conciliatory attitude. He told the Brit-
ish that he is investigating the incident and will take measures
to see, not only that such an incident is not repeated, but that
the mission will be allowed to "fulfill its role" strictly in ac-
cordance with the existing British-Soviet agreement. The
British believe that the Soviet commander's attitude suggests
that the East Germans have been acting without Soviet bless=
ing or at least that they have carried their harassing activities
further. than Soviet authorities had intended. The British cau-
tion, however, that the extent to which the USSR feels able and
willing to insist on East German adherence to the terms of the
agreement will provide a valuable clue to Soviet East German
relations in coming months.
II. ASIA-AFRICA
kLepai - Communist China: The clash between Nepalese
and Chinese border units on 26 June, in which Katmandu
charges that one army officer was killed and 15 unarmed Nep-
alese captured, will make much more difficult the implemen-
tation of border demarcation procedures recently ratified by
p Peiping and Katmandu. Both capitals will probably try to pre-
vent a build-up of tension, however, by referring the incident
to the boundary committees now being organized. In India the
effect of the clash will be to heighten snti-Chine e sentiment per-
haps even more than in Nepal. (Page 1)

III. THE WEST
(Venezuela - Dominican Republic: The Venezuelan foreign
rniffister advised the diplomatic representatives of the American
republics in Caracas on 27 June that the captured ringleaders of
the 24 June assassination attempt on President Betancourt had
disclosed Dominican involvement in the plot and stated that Vene-
zuela was considering measures in response to this act of aggres-
sion. His confidential statement followed the release of a Vene-
zuelan communique branding the Trujillo dictatorship a threat to
hemispheric peace and morally incapacitated for membership in
the OAS and the UN. The Venezuelan Government is likely to
have recourse to the OAS or the UN before attpmnting rptnliatory
action. (Page 2)i
Paraguay: The National Paraguayan Union, led by exiles of
the Liberal and Febrerista parties and now supported by Asun-
cion leaders of these parties, reportedly plans to initiate revolu-
tionary action shortly. The Union is the largest of the four main
revolutionary groups and has not participated in the series of in-
vasion attempts by the 14th of May Movement since last Decem-
ber. The four rebel groups have not yet agreed to cooperate, but
they pose a growing threat to the Stroessner. regime.

Sino-Nepalese Border Clash
The clash between Nepalese and Chinese Communist border
units on 26 June will make much more difficult the implementation
of boundary demarcation procedures recently ratified by Katmandu
and Peiping. The incident occurred in the isolated Mustang area, a
salient in west-central Nepal projecting into Tibet. Prime Minis-
ter Koirala charged that a Nepalese checkpost officer had been killed
and 15 Nepalese nationals "arrested." The boundary line between
semi-autonomous Mustang and Tibet traditionally has been vague.
Nepalese authorities on 29 June officially protested the "unprovoked"
attack as a violation of the agreement reached in March demilita-
rizing the Sino-Nepalese border.
The Nepalese Government has attempted to maintain a detached
position toward the Sino-Indian border dispute and to minimize Ne-
pal's "minor" disagreements on boundary demarcation with China.
To avoid involvement in incidents such as those which occurred in
Assam and Ladakh, Koirala earlier this year sought a border agree-
ment with Peiping recognizing the "traditional" boundary.
Nepal now has been placed, like India, in the position of an
injured party in the dispute, and growing political pressures pre-
sumably will limit the government's ability to negotiate a final set-
tlement with Peiping.
Peiping will probably not accept responsibility for the clash,
but both governments are likely to try to ease current tension by
referring the problem to the boundary commission now being set up.
The incident will heighten anti-Chinese sentiment in India per-
haps even more than in Nepal. Indian proponents of a more forceful
border policy toward the Chinese are likely to step up their pressure
on Nehru's government, particularly in light of the Indian prime min-
ister's previous statements that any arttack on Nepal would be regard-
ed as an attack on India.

Venezuela Considering Action Against the Dominican Republic
The Venezuelan foreign minister advised the diplomatic
representatives of the American republics in Caracas on 27
June that the captured ringleaders of the 24 June assassination�
attempt on President Betancouirt had disclosed Dominican in-
volvement in the plot and that Venezuela was considering meas-
ures in response to this act of aggression. His confidential
statement followed the release of a Venezuelan communique call-
ing the Trujillo dictatorship a threat to hemispheric peace and
morally incapacitated for membership in the OAS and the UN.
Venezuelan security forces have obtained evidence that the
would-be assassins were trained and provided with explosive
equipment in the Dominican Republic and flown to Venezuela il-
legally in a commercial airliner. The key leader is a Venezuelan
naval captain exiled earlier this year for plotting against the gov-
ernment.
Betancourt was under pressure from his own military to act
against Trujillo after the Dominican-supported uprising in Vene-
zuela on 20-21 April, and such action would probably now be pop-
ular among almost all classes in Venezuela. The unprecedented
condemnation this month by the OAS' Inter-American Peace Com=
mittee of the Trujillo regime for flagrant violation of human rights--
charges initiated by Venezuela--may encourage Venezuela to have
further recourse to OAS channels--and perhaps the United Nations�
in an effort to eliminate the Trujillo dictatorship.

Large Paraguayan Opposition Group Plans Rebellion Soon
The National Paraguayan Union (UNP), led by exiled mem-
bers of the Liberal and Febrerista parties, reportedly plans
to initiate revolutionary action soon. Radiobroadcasts advocat
ing open rebellion will begin shortly,
For the first time in the history of the
Febrerista party, its members--as well as Liberals inside
Paraguay--are being alerted to prepare for armed action,
Liberal and Febrerista leaders in Asuncion are asking
for volunteers to go to Argentina to join the invasion forces.
two columns of 200
UNP members each slipped into Paraguay unnoticed on 23
June.
Previously, the UNP--the largest of the four revolutionary
groups--has not carried out attacks, and the Asuncion party
leaders have dissociated themselves from the revolutionary
plotting of the various exile groups. The small clash on 21
June probably involved the 14th of May Movement, which has
carried out the series of small attacks since last December.
The Movement, which Cuba helped in its December attacks,
still has a small band of guerrillas operating inside Paraguay.
The four groups plaiting independently against the Stroessner
regime have continued discussions regarding cooperation but
thus far have failed to reach agreement. All of them, however,
appear to have improved their organizations and supply situa-
tionsLan_ d have been promised further help from Cuba and
Venezuela if they agree to cooperate. -1Despite Stroessneris
control of the army, the rebels pose an increasing threat to
his regime.
