South Vietnam 2. North Vietnam The generals may drop their plan to make General Ky the chief of the proposed executive council. Quat's secretary of state, But Diem, told Ambassador Taylor today that Ky may be "talked out" of it. He says the cool reception Taylor and Ambassador Johnson gave to the idea was partly responsible. Vice Premier Tran Van Do, a possible substitute for Ky, says Ky is himself hav- ing second thoughts. Do says Ky might retain his present title of "Commissioner in charge of directing the executive branch," however, and oversee a civilian premier and his cabinet. The Catholics are voicing their con- cern over the possibility of a military regime. One priest has told the US Em- bassy that there will be trouble if a mil-50X1 itary dictatorship is formed. Clearing and evacuation operations are continuing in the Dong Xoai area of Phuoc Long Province but no ground con- tact with the Viet Cong has been reported.

Yemen 4. Congo Nasir has apparently decided to ac- cept at least a temporary military stale- mate in Yemen. Egypt's top military man in Yemen says that a military solution has been ruled out and the Yemeni problem must be settled by political means. He has told US Embassy officers in Yemen that Egyptian troops are being pulled out of forward areas and concentrated in major population centers to await political de- velopments. Nasir, Faysal, and Yemeni Prime Minister Numan are to meet in Algiers this month to discuss a Saudi proposal for a settlement. Details of the pro- posal have not yet been revealed. There has been a new outbreak of fighting in the Lake Tanganyika area. 50X1 50X1 50X1 50X1 Declassified in Part - Sanitized Copy Approved for Release 2015/07/24 : CIA-RDP79T00936A003800020001-3 Declassified in Part - Sanitized Copy Approved for Release 2015/07/24 : CIA-RDP79T00936A003800020001-3 jxi 6. Dominican Republic 7. Chile 8, Brazil 50X1 Rebel forces fired on US paratroops in Santo Domingo this morning using auto- matic weapons and mortars. The para- troopers returned the fire, and the ex- changes continued into the afternoon. The details are not all in, but the action has the earmarks of a rebel provo- cation. Shortly after the first shots were fired, the rebel radio was on the air charging that the US was attacking and killing children. The rebel behavior is in marked con- trast to yesterday when a rebel commander apologized for firing on the Brazilian contingent. The Imbert radio late this afternoon announced that loyalist forces were ad- vancing on the rebel zone in the capital and would wipe the rebels out in a few hours. This may be no more than another move in the war of nerves. However, loyalist generals have been chafing under existing restrictions on their activities and may feel that today's events give them an opening. 'President Frei has reversed his gov- ernment's earlier decision to host.the hemisphere meeting on "Solidarity with Cuba." Frei told Ambassador Dungan he was annoyed when his interior minister granted permission last week. The Com- munist-oriented group was previously banned from .holding its session in Uru- guay, The Soviets are flooding Brazilian college campuses with high-quality, low- cost technical books. The Russian texts, covering a wide range of subjects translated into Eng- lish and French, are sold at "giveaway" prices and dominate sales at several in- stitutions. In at least one technological institute, the Soviets provide the only English-language materials available. 50X1 Declassified in Part - Sanitized Copy Approved for Release 2015/07/24 : CIA-RDP79T00936A003800020001-3 Declassified in Part - Sanitized Copy Approved for Release 2015/07/24 : CIA-RDP79T00936A003800020001-3 TOP SECRET TOP SECRET Declassified in Part - Sanitized Copy Approved for Release 2015/07/24 : CIA-RDP79T00936A003800020001-3
