DAILY BRIEF
29 JULY 1965
1. Vietnam
2. South Vietnam
Moscow evidently intends to soft
pedal the implications of Tuesday's
bombing of Soviet-manned missile sites
by US aircraft,
So far, the Soviets have studiously
avoided any public reference to either
the missile sites or the presence of So-
viet missile personnel_

A US force of three battalions has
launched a four-day search-and-destroy
operation into a suspect Viet Cong base
area which was hit by US bombers yester-
day. So far no contact with the Viet
Cong has been reported,

6. Yemen
Athanasiadis-Novas seems to have
little chance of winning a vote of con-
fidence. Deputies of the ruling Center
Union Party caucused today and reportedly
threw the bulk of their support to Papan-
dreou; the Communists will also vote
against the government.
The King is still adamant against
the return of Papandreou, but he is also
reluctant to call for elections. If the
government falls, the King will probably
turn to Stephanopoulos or some other
relatively noncontroversial figure, but
in the end, he may be compelled to call
on the army to take over.
Lebanon has stopped work on the
Jordan waters diversion canal. Presi-
dent Hilu, however, has confided to the
US ambassador that Lebanon would "have
to do something else" on the project
to appease Arab opinion.
The decision to stop construction
should take the heat off for the short
run, but the Israelis will undoubtedly
resume their warnings if they detect
work beginning in other areas of Lebanon.
Nasir sent a personal envoy to Saudi
Arabia today for talks on a settlement
of the Yemen war.
In a speech last week, Nasir claimed
that talks were already under way. He
also said that a favorable outcome would
lead to the withdrawal of his troops but
that lack of agreement might bring an Egyp-
tian-Saudi clash.
The Saudis apparently are not taking
this threat seriously.

7. Congo
Evidence is increasing that Presi-
dent Kasavubu intends to call former
premier Adoula back from "exile" to
serve as a tool and ally against Tshombe.
The president has suggested that
Adoula might become a member of the pro-
jected government of "national unity,"
and Kasavubu may even see Adoula as an
eventual new premier.
Adoula
has railed at Tshombe in public for his
"betrayal" of the people and has called
for a negotiated settlement of the rebel-
lion and removal of foreign forces.
Tshombe'would undoubtedly mount a
strong counterattack to Adoula's return,
and this could bring on the long-expected
showdown with Kasavubu.
8. Dominican Republic No significant developments were
reported today.
9. Peru
10. Guatemala
Leftist guerrillas now plan to
launch attacks in the valleys near Cuzco
in southern Peru. next month.
Communist guerrillas in Guatemala
City are apparently stepping up their
terrorist activities.
Last night they attempted to assas-
sinate a leading police official, and a
number of terrorist actions are
planned for this weekend.

11. President's
Statement
There have been no surprises in
Communist commentary on the President's
press conference.
The Soviet newspaper Izvestia de-
scribed the military measures announced
as "dangerous" and aimed at avoiding a
"humiliating failure at any cost"; ear-
lier, Moscow Radio called the President's
actions "a colossal risk." An East Ger-
man Foreign Ministry spokesman said his
country would continue to extend "any
help desired" to Hanoi, but to talk of
sending volunteers would be premature.
The Chinese Foreign Office declined
to comment but Peiping Radio later said
that no steps the President might take
will "save the US from defeat in Vietnam."
Radio Hanoi's first comment described the
measures as more of the same old American
policy carried out on "a larger scale."
All reactions from Communist coun-
tries either ignored or minimized the Presi-
dent's statements on negotiations.
