*Vietnam: (Information as of 4:30 AM EST)
Military Developments in North Vietnam: The
largest air battle of the war occurred yesterday after
a major US air strike on the Xuan Mai army barracks
25 miles southwest of Hanoi.
At least 17 separate air engagements involving a
total of 28 MIGs and 20 or more US aircraft were re-
ported. One MIG has been confirmed downed and two
others were possibly downed. Six MIGs were re-
ported damaged by US aircraft. One US Air Force
F- 105 was downed by ground fire, and an A- 1E pro-
viding cover for the downed crew was subsequently
shot down by one of the MIGs.
Initial reports indicate the strike on the bar-
racks--believed to be a special training center for
infiltration groups--was successful. (Map)

The Military Situation in South Vietnam: The
Communists continue to apply pressure against US and
South Vietnamese forces in South Vietnam's northern
I Corps.
In an apparent show of concern over allied efforts
to create a barrier south of the DMZ in northeastern
Quang Tri Province, enemy troops have laid mines in
the work area, directed mortar fire at defensive po-
sitions of allied forces engaged in the project, and
attempted to draw the allies into firefights. Although
none of the incidents has developed into an engagement
of significant size, constant harassment of the allied
forces is hindering the development of the buffer strip.
Throughout the rest of the country, the lull in
major ground confrontations between allied and Com-
munist forces continues with only scattered small-
unit actions reported.

Disarmament: There appears to be little chance
that the six EURATOM states will accept the revised
safeguards provisions in the draft nonproliferation
treaty (NPT).
They object to the so-called "guillotine" clause
of the treaty, which sets a time limit of three years
for agreement between EURATOM and the Interna-
tional Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) on mutually sat-
isfactory safeguards, after which IAEA safeguards
would automatically apply if the question had not been
resolved.
The EURATOM Commission has proposed that the
three-year time limit be eliminated. It suggests that
in the event that EURATOM and the IAEA fail to reach
agreement, the application of IAEA safeguards be dis-
cussed during the review conference provided for in the
treaty five years after the NPT enters into force.
Meanwhile, efforts are under way at the North
Atlantic Council (NAC) to find a way around French in-
sistence that the NAC take no action implying endorse-
ment of further negotiations between the US and USSR
on the NPT. Ambassador Cleveland believes that a
"summing up" of the NPT consultations in the NAC by
Secretary General Brosio might be acceptable to the
French in lieu of formal endorsement. French perma-
nent representative De Leusse has said his government
is prepared to consider such a "summing up" provided
it includes an "objective" statement of the French po-
sition.
At a cabinet meeting yesterday the German Gov-
ernment, which has been among the leading NATO
critics of the current NPT draft, decided not to object
to further US-USSR negotiations on the treaty. The
cabinet did not, however, endorse such negotiations
and continues to share the views of EURATOM on the
safeguards problem.

Nigeria: Eastern Nigeria has taken another step
toward full independence.
Eastern Governor Ojukwu on 18 April issued an
edict taking over the management and assets in the
East of all federally chartered corporations. This
step removes the last vestiges of federal control over
electric power, transport, coal, and produce mar-
keting enterprises, as well as over broadcasting and
posts and telecommunications.
The federal government's response to Ojukwu's
edict will probably be determined at a meeting of the
Supreme Military Council (SMC)--without Ojukwu--
scheduled for today. Ojukwu's most recent action,
following closely on the recent Ghanaian coup attempt,
may further reduce the chances for a full SMC meet-
in which had been scheduled for next week in Ghana.

letter allegedly authored by Guevara perpetuates the
Cuban line that he is secretly leading a guerrilla group
Cuba: The current publicity build-up regarding
Ernesto "Che" Guevara is probably a propaganda ploy
to dramatize Fidel Castro's recently stepped-up call
for armed revolution in Latin America, Guevara, a
former high-ranking regime official and leading spokes-
man for armed struggle tactics, vanished in March 1965
amid reports of a clash with Castro. No substantial
evidence has been offered to prove whether Guevara is
still alive. The publication on 16 April of a 5,000-word
