DAILY BRIEF
27 JULY 1965
1. Vietnam
Hanoi has not responded to today's
US strike on the two missile sites other
than to claim that it had downed six
more American planes for a total of 412
since last August.
Hanoi has not referred to missiles
in its coverage of the past few days.
It has announced that it captured three
US pilots after today's strikes.

2. South Vietnam
Chinese attempts at verbal deter-
rence go on. In Hanoi last week the
Chinese ambassador repeated earlier
threats that at a certain point, which
was left undefined, China would inter-
vene but not necessarily in Vietnam, The
ambassador pointed out that there were
other areas in Asia where China could,
cause trouble for the US.
The lull in major Viet Cong military
activity continues, with no large-scale
actions reported in the past 24 hours.

3. Greece
Today's strike turned into a near
fiasco for the leftists. Athanasiadis-
Novas won the day by declaring the walk-
out illegal and threatening workers in
public utilities with prosecution if they
stayed away from their jobs. Athens re-
mained normal, but there was some inter-
ruption of activity in Piraeus and Salon-
ika.
On the political scene, feverish
maneuvering behind the scenes continues
in preparation for the meeting of parlia-
ment on Thursday evening to consider the
government's bid for a vote of confidence.
At this point, the outcome is very much
in doubt.
4. Dominican Republic Loyalist military officers appear
to be withdrawing their support for Im-
bert.
Panama
some of these officers will
attempt to force him out if he refuses
to step aside.
The top military commanders prob-
ably believe that Imbert's days are num-
bered and, therefore, they are beginning
to push for immediate installation of a
provisional government. They may calcu-
late that this move will help them com-
bat the demands for military reform which
will undoubtedly follow the installation
of a new regime.
Followers of former president Ar-
nulfo Arias are said to be plotting again
with Communist elements against the Robles
government.

military supplies and two 50-foot motor
boats at Dar-es-Salaam.

Tanganyika in support of the Congolese
rebels. Some sixty Tanzanians were known
to have been sent to the USSR last No-
vember for naval training.
