DAILY BRIEF
2 APRIL 1905
1. South Vietnam
2. Vietnam
3. Berlin
The South Korean troop compound
about five miles south of Bien Hoa was
hit by mortar fire today. At least
eight Koreans were wounded. Viet Cong
propaganda had long threatened such a
move, and the Koreans were
concerned.
Hanoi is now doing most of the
propagandizing on "volunteers for Viet-
nam." A broadcast yesterday claimed
that a reserve unit of the Chinese Com-
munist Army had promised Ho Chi Minh
to "act at your first call." Such
claims go well beyond Peiping's propa-
ganda on the subject.
Allied access to Berlin has not
been affected by the Ulbricht regime's
interference yesterday and today with
West German travelers. The target is
West German parliamentarians en route
to Berlin for the plenary meeting of the
Bundestag on 7 April. Few members are
likely to be kept away, since they have
been instructed to travel to Berlin by
air.

4. Cyprus Turkish rejection of UN mediator
?
Plaza's report has set back hopes for
early negotiations.
The Turks claim that Plaza should
not have made "substantive" recommen-
dations, and they will not negotiate
on the basis of his proposals. Plaza
ruled out federation, which the Turks
favor, as a possible solution.
In Greece the reaction has been
generally favorable, although some ele-
ments are objecting to Plaza's recom-
mendation against enosis
5. Panama
6. Hungary
Makarios told Ambassador Belcher
this morning that he intends to start
a "peace offensive" on the island now
that the period of waiting is over.

With regard to the Canal negotiations,
Foreign Minister Eleta has complained
that the US is "dragging its feet."
The Hungarians have finally man-
aged to control the spread of the hoof-
and-mouth epidemic reported early this
year, but complete elimination is not
expected for two or three months.

. Laos
The military situation is relatively
quiet, but there are continuing reports
of a Communist build-up near Seno in
south-central Laos. There are no other
signs suggesting an imminent Communist
offensive. However, government forces
in the area have been weakened by de-
ployments made to quell the recent up-
rising in Thakhek, and the destruction
of a major bridge has hampered govern-
ment supply of advance forces along the
Se Kum Kam River. (See map.)
