DAILY BRIEF
16 SEPTEMBER 1965
1. India-Pakistan
Fighting has been renewed in the
Sialkot area after a brief lull all
along the front. Both forces had ap-
parently felt a need for a brief res-
pite to regroup and replenish.

In this situation, the Chinese Com-
munists have moved their war of nerves
against India up another notch. In a
new note to New Delhi ,Peking warned
India, according to press accounts, to
dismantle all military installations on
or over the border with Tibet within
three days or face "serious consequences."
Peking has demanded the dismantle-
ment of these alleged Indian military
stations before, but this is the first
time that a time limit has been set.
India denies that it has any such instal-
lations.
The note will doubtless heighten
Indian nervousness about Chinese inten-
tions.
On the diplomatic front, President
Ayub made a calculated effort to induce
the Iranian Prime Minister to carry the
Pakistani case to Moscow, London, and
Washington. Ayub indicated that Pakistan
would favor a Commonwealth peace mission,
which several African members have been
trying to organize.
The Pakistanis are also trying to
line up support at the United Nations for
a plebiscite on Kashmir.

2. Common Market
3. France
Belgian Foreign Minister Spaak says
that De Gaulle's latest utterances leave
no doubt that the general is out to de-
stroy both the Common Market and the North
Atlantic Treaty Organization.
Spaak argues that France's partners
must therefore oppose the general firmly.
He believes that this resistance will
have to be initiated within the Common
Market ,which faces the more immediate
crisis.
Similar arguments have been voiced
in The Hague and Rome where sentiment for
confronting De Gaulle squarely is rising.
The chief obstacle to an effective re-
sistance by France's five Common Market
partners is West German qualms about an
all-out struggle at this time.

4. Dominican Republic Provisional president Garcia Godoy
is stillon a tightrope after two weeks
in office.
Very little progress has been made
toward integrating the rebel zone with
the rest of Santo Domingo. Rebel leader
Caamano has promised that all rebel arms
will be collected by week's end. Garcia
Godoy hopes that the police will be able
to take over in the zone early next week.
The provisional president also has
hopes of suppressing the extremist daily
Patria and inducing Caamano to accept a
position abroad, at least temporarily.
Garcia Godoy has so far been han-
dling the leftists and the rebels in a
gingerly fashion, and this has alarmed
leaders of the center and right.
The military is upset, too, and
Defense Minister Rivera Caminero is said
to feel that he will have to take action
if the president continues what Rivera
and other military leaders see as a
drift to the left.
5. Panama
6. Colombia
President Robles continues to take
an optimistic line on the canal negotia-
tions. ?He told a group of businessmen
the other day that talks with the US are
moving at an accelerated pace and that
a treaty "granting justice to Panama"
would be the crowning achievement of his
administration. This will further raise
expectations that the Panamanians will
shortly be seeing signs of progress to-
ward meeting their canal demands.
New labor troubles have risen to
plague the harassed Valencia regime.
Having just disposed of a teachers'
strike late last week, the government
faces the prospect that 75,000 civil
servants will join the more than 30,000
workers already out on strike to protest
the government's new financial measures.
This would shut off public utilities in
Bogota and add fuel to the incendiary
situation. The police have gone on the
alert once again.

7. Communist China
8. North Vietnam
9. Greece
Hanoi still faces a tight food situ-
ation, despite a good early rice harvest.
In the Vinh area of central North Vietnam,
several thousand construction workers
reportedly are having to eat watery rice
gruel because US air strike damage to
railroads prevents the authorities from
moving adequate rice supplies.

A coalition government under Stephanop-
oulos is to be sworn in tomorrow ni ht or
Saturday 50X1
The politiclal arm twisting was
intense, and some additional defectors
from the Papandreou ranks were secured.
It is still uncertain, however, whether
this will be enough to give Stephanopoulos
a vote of confidence.
