yesterday staged an apparently co-ordinated
revolt against the government. The rebellious forces ,..
seized the radio station serving Ban Me Thuot, the
capital of Darlac, as well as a nearby ammunition
dump. Another group reportedly seized control of a .;~

At two of the camps, the tribesmen reportedly
killed Vietnamese Special Forces personnel. Tribal
strike force elements from another camp moved out
to attack a nearby Popular Force unit, killing 13 men.
At all four camps US Special Force advisors were
placed under varying forms of restraint, although
none are known to have been harmed
Leaflets circulated by the rebels complain of ten
years of mistreatment by the Vietnamese and demand
autonomy for all tribesmen. The tracts also state '.
that the Vietnamese are being aided by US "imperial-
ism," suggesting possible Viet Cong inspiration.
Negotiations yesterday between local government
authorities and rebel leaders led to the withdrawal of
tribesmen from the immediate environs of Ban Me
Thuot. There is no firm indication, however, that
the tribesmen are ready to end their uprising.
General Co, the new II Corps commander, was to
have met with them last night in an effort to elicit
more precise rebel terms. Meanwhile, the govern-
ment was reportedly reinforcing the three ARVN
battalions now in Darlace

AAt one time there were about 10,000 Rhade under
arms in Darlac Province, but the number has since
been considerably reduced as the result of a govern-
ment demobilization program. The Rhade, along
with the Muong and other tribes in the highlands,
have long aspired to autonomy and resented spasmodic
Vietnamese efforts to assimilate them. They have
been increasingly restive during the past 18 months
because of efforts to bring CIDG strike force elements
and armed Rhade village defenders under greater
local governmental contro j
In Saigon, General Minh is continuing his con-
sultations with religious and political leaders re-
garding composition of the Supreme National Council.
He told reporters the membership of this body,
which is to help prepare the country for civilian rule,
will be announced sometime this week.
The Vietnamese Labor Confederation launched a
general strike in the Saigon area this morning
paralyzing electrical, transport, water, and commu-
nications services. The strike involved approximately
60,000 workers and was scheduled to last 48 hours.
While the strikers are protesting wages and working
conditions, labor leaders are also making political
demands. There are no signs that the government
plans to take stern measures to put down the strike
which is illegal under the current state of emergency. 25X1

Indonesia-Malaysia: Indonesia is showing renewed
interest in negotiating its dispute with Malaysia.
In recent talks with the US ambassador, Sukarno
urged that the US become more active in encouraging
a peaceful settlement. On 19 September a joint
communique issued at the end of talks between Su-
karno and Pakistani President Ayub Khan in Raw4l-
pindi called for consideration of the dispute by an
Afro-Asian conciliation commission.
CEarlier, in Bangkok, Sukarno told Thai officials
he would abide by recommendations of such a com-
mission, and would refrain from using force while
talks were in progress. He stated, however, he
would, withdraw Indonesian forces from Malaysia
only if the withdrawal were keyed to progress in
the talks
Foreign Minister Subandrio, who accompanied
Sukarno to Thailand, claimed that contacts in various
capitals were working to establish communication
among Indonesia, Malaysia, and the UK J
Indonesia has consistently followed. a policy
aimed, at breaking up Malaysia and removing all
Western presence in the area. It has undertaken
military and political subversion to create tension
and disunity in Malaysia. It has also intermittently
offered to negotiate the dispute, particularly when
its military program was going badly.
In any new round of negotiations, Djakarta can
be expected to continue pressing Malaysia to agree
to a plebiscite in Malaysian Borneo to determine
whether political sentiment there is in favor of the
Malaysian federation, Previous negotiations, how-
ever, have failed because the Indonesians have re- 25X1

*Bolivia: Bolivia is reported to be quiet follow-
ing the discovery and suppression yesterday of an
alleged plot to overthrow President Paz.
Details regarding the plot are not known at this
time. The government may have invented the plot
as an excuse to move against the opposition elements
led by former president Sites Zuazo before they
took advantage of widespread labor unrest to pro-
voke anti-government violence.
L_ I all of the
opposition leaders jailed under e state of siege
imposed yesterday, will be exiled to Paraguay.
Juan Lechin, former vice-president and leader of
Bolivia's tin miners, reportedly is still at large. 25X1
If he should reach the mine areas, further trouble

Congo: he meeting of the Organization of
African Unity's ad hoc commission on the Congo,
which convened in Nairobi on 18 September, seems
to have gone well so far for Premier Tshomb6.
Kenyan Prime Minister Kenyatta, the commission's
chairman, apparently has adopted a friendly attitude
toward. Tshomb6. Kenyan police are also said to
have thwarted an attempt by Congolese rebel repr - 25X1
sentatives to enter the conference hall uninvited. I

will be delivered to China later this year, and.
300,000 tons annually in 1965 and 1966. Peiping
has now contracted for about six million tons of
grain this year, compared to last year's total of
about 5.7 million tons. Negotiations for additional
grain purchases, presumably for next year, are

South Korea - Japan: South Korea is stepping
up seizures of Japanese fishing boats, some in ter-
ritorial waters but others in international waters
which Seoul has unilaterally reserved for Korean
fishermen. This is likely to strengthen sentiment
in Tokyo against normalizing relations with South
Korea. Although South Korean President Pak Chong-
hui recognizes the economic benefits of a settlement
with Japan, he is apparently unwilling to antagonize
the public by ignoring the large number of Japanese
boats o eratin near Korean shores-
