DAILY BRIEF
28 FEBRUARY 1966
1. Ghana
2. Africa
A squabble has developed at the
meeting of the Organization of African
Unity over Ghanaian credentials. The
radicals want to seat a representative
of Nkrumah who may,however,defect before
reaching Addis Ababa. There is opposi?
tion to this, and the end result may be
that no one will be recognized.

Satellite photography,
provided high-quality cover-
age of the Tyuratam missile test center.
The photography showed work to be
continuing on two new launch pads at
Complex J (see photo). This is an im-
mense project. The transporter route
between the missile assembly building
and the nearest launch pad is over two
miles. One of these pads, designed
for very large boosters, should be ready
early next year. We will examine the
implications of this for the Soviet
space program in an Annex later in the,
week.

The Marcos administration says it
still plans to recognize Malaysia tomor-
row despite heavy-handed Indonesian at-
tempts to force a change of mind. The
Indonesians have threatened to break re-
lations with Manila if the step is taken.
Bosch went on the air this after-
noon with a bitter denunciation of Garcia
Godoy for having led the people astray
about sending the military chiefs abroad.
Bosch hinted again at an election boy-
cott, but he made no call for specific
leftist action now. Garcia Godoy appar-
ently is still thinking over Bunker's
advice that the president go before the
people with a forceful statement of his
side of the case.
Egyptian ground and air forces have
been thrown into action against a group
of Yemeni royalist tribes. The fighting
is still localized, but other tribes may
be drawn in, thus greatly complicating
the efforts of Faysal and Nasir to re-
open a dialogue between republicans and
royalists.
