DAILY BRIEF
28 JULY 1965
1. Vietnam
2. South Vietnam
Moscow and Peiping in their propa-
ganda have refrained thus far from re-
acting directly to the strike on the
missile sites. However, today the So-
viet Government paper Izvestia claimed
that the'ffiass raid on densely popu-
lated areas yesterday" was "widening the
war."

3. President's
Statement
4. Greece
5. Cyprus
First reactions to the President's
press conference are beginning to come
in. Members of the Soviet mission at the
Geneva disarmament talks have predicted
that the President's decision to send
.more troops would have "grave consequences"
and make the negotiations "much more dif-
ficult."
Official circles in.London and Paris
.are declining comment for the present.
The outlook is murky as the political
struggle moves toward a climax.
The ruling Center Union Party is
scheduled to caucus tomorrow prior to
the reopening of parliament Friday. No
clear favorite has emerged among the
three main contenders--Novas, Stephanop-
oulos, and Papandreou.
The Novas government has handled
itself well, but it does not seem to
have attracted the needed votes. Stepha-
nopoulos is still a possible compromise
candidate but has been wishy-washy in
standing up to Papandreou. The latter
has managed to hang on to significant
backing through a mixture of threats and
cajolery.
However the party decision goes,
the parliamentary session that follows
promises to be a stormy one with good
chances for disturbances both on the
floor and in the streets.
Meanwhile, the political crisis is
further aggravating strains on the al-
ways shaky Greek economy.
There has been a rise, slight as
yet, in communal tensions on Cyprus.
Part of this is due to President
Makarios' recent action in amending the
Cypriot election law to take away special
rights previously given Turkish Cypriots.
US officials in Nicosia suspect that
Makarios, under looser rein from Athens
these days, may make more moves against
the Turkish community.
The Turkish Government faces a gen-
eral election in early October, which
raises the possibility of a strong re-
action should Makarios press too hard.

The cabinet in Lisbon has decided
to bomb insurgent camps and supply bases
in countries contiguous to Portuguese
Guinea whenever it is "deemed necessary"
(see map)..
similar action would be taken as
needed across Angolan borders. The Por-
tuguese have mounted small-scale raids
out of Angola in the past but have not
used air power.
Portuguese officials in Mozambique
have also held out the threat of, possible
strikes at rebel camps in neighboring
Tanzania.
Nkrumah's sudden move today in re-
tiring Ghana's defense chief and his
deputy effectively neutralizes the two
as potential coup leaders. Both had
been involved in coup plotting for sev-
eral months but vacillated too long and
gave Nkrumah the chance to act first.
Rebel extremists seem confident of
their ability to set up one or more vi-
able guerrilla bases in the interior de-
spite past failures to do so.
These elements have been bringing
selected personnel from rural areas into
the rebel zone of Santo Domingo for guer-
rilla training courses. One such school
reportedly has some 200 men in training.
The problem of keeping order in the
rebel zone may be eased by Caamano's or-
der, dated yesterday, closing all drink-
ing establishments from six in the even-
ing to ten the next morning.
