1. Vietnam
a. Viet Cong and North Viet-
namese propaganda portrays the Bien
Hoa attack as a major victory. It
stresses Viet Cong ability to take
direct action against the US mili-
tary establishment in South Viet-
nam.
b. The Bien Hoa attack, com-
bined with two others Saturday to
the north, suggests a forthcoming
period of generally intensified
enemy activity. /

2. Laos
a. A Communist buildup in
the Plaine des Jarres and in the
Xing Khouang area, combined with
the advent of the dry season, has
led us to expect a step-up in
enemy pressures.

3,
c. On Friday, a Laotian .
battalion about 12 miles south of
Xieng Khouang was .attacked by a
force estimated by the Laotians to
Comprise two enemy battalions.
a. The British and Malaysians
have announced they sent aircraft
over Indonesia today to drop the
Tunku's leaflets. We have as yet
no word on whether the Indonesians
reacted.
b. Just why, and by whom,
last week's abortive Indonesian
incursion was launched seems up
in the air.
c. Ambassador Jones, who
saw Sukarno in Tokyo, reports that
Sukarno either "feigned ignorance
or actually did not know about it."

We have heard he is due for more
treatment, another operation or
acupuncture at the hands of the
Chinese.

NOTES
C. Bolivia Things have simmered down, and the
miners are said to be back at work for the
time being. Military leaders still support
Paz.
Should they try a take-
over, he says, they want to be free of any
ties with extremist elements behind the recent
disturbances.

D. Sudan The neutralist cast of the initial
pronouncements of the new regime do not augur
well for its attitude toward Western interests
in Africa and the Middle East, such as the
Congo and overflight rights. The army is back
in its barracks but appears to retain the
balance of power.
H. The Vatican A senior Vatican official has told
Ambassador Reinhardt that there is "little or
no" possibility the Pope would attend the
Marian Congress in Santo Domingo next spring.
The Pope's forthcoming trip to India has already
generated too many requests for other visits,
and has created political problems with such
countries as Portugal.
