DAILY BRIEF
5 MARCH 1965
1. North Vietnam
. Indonesia
There have been no significant
new propaganda or official statements
from Peiping or Moscow.
Djakarta's military reinforcements
in Sumatra--insurance against a possible
British retaliation for Indonesian mili-
tary actions against Malaysia--are increas-
ing. One brigade is now deploying near
Medan in the north, and another will be-
gin reaching central Sumatra next week.
Reinforcements eventually will total
7-8,000 men. --(See map.)
In response to Indonesian Commu-
nist demands, Sukarno has also ordered
the army commander in Sumatra to arm
workers and peasants. This could be a
dangerous step toward allowing the Com-
munists to develop a paramilitary capa-
bility.

3. USSR
4. South Vietnam
Soviet naval activity in the west-
ern Pacific is returning to normal.
Three conventional submarines and a sub-
tender which had been operating in the
Philippine Sea are now approaching home
port. A guided-missile destroyer which
was operating south of Japan with two
other subs is also nearing home. The
latter two submarines will probably
terminate their operations soon.
There has been no new hard informa-
tion on the swarm of coup reports noted
yesterday. (
The security situation continues
to deteriorate in some of the northern
provinces. In Quang Nam and Quang Tin,
US civilian personnel cannot move out-
side the ?rovincial ca itals.

6. USSR
The Barrientos government appears
to be heading for serious trouble, but
the situation is far from clear.
The government is aware of this,
but has other problems to cope with,
including the deteriorating economy and
union plans for strikes.
The armed forces hold the key to
stability, but their unity and loyalties
are uncertain. Both Barrientos and
Ovando have strong military support.
