DAILY BRIEF
28 JUNE 1963
1. South Vietnam
2. Argentina
the govern-
ment will probably announce its new
cabinet on Friday.
The country seems to be taking the
military coup quietly for the moment.
Deposed President Illia was last reported
to be at the Buenos Aires home of his
brother. He presumably will go abroad,
perhaps to Uruguay, rather than court
detention as threatened by the coup
leaders.
Retired General Ongania, who took
over this morning, will be inaugurated
as provisional president in the next two
or three days, and the junta of service
commanders in chief which he heads has
announced its intention to specify its
objectives shortly. Meanwhile, all na-
tional and state officials and legisla-
tors have been turned out of office and
all political parties dissolved. The
country is to be governed under what are
called "revolution statutes." A new
supreme court and attorney general are
to be appointed.
The manner and timing of the coup
probably have created misgivings among
some military officers, but the odds are
that they will ultimately get behind
Ongania.

3. Congo (Brazzaville) Press reports of an attempted army
coup yesterday appear to be incorrect.
? The government seems to be on top of
the situation, and there have been no
? further reports on shooting this after-
noon. It does appear, however, that the
headquarters of the national (and only)
political party, which in effect is the
seat of government, was wrecked by some
mutinous soldiers.
4. Kenya
f
e episo e i ustrates how lit-
e i takes to shake the entire politi-
cal fabric in the Congo and almost every-
where else in West Africa.
As expected, leftist former vice
president Odinga won a resounding vic-
tory in his home province in the recent
national assembly by-elections, but his
party showed no strength nationally.
This means that neither the party nor
Odinga will be able to give President
Kenyatta much trouble for the duration
of the present parliament.
On the other hand, the election re-
sult shows that Odinga has used the Com-
munist financing he receives to some ef-
fect in establishing a political base to
work from. The next general election
will be due in 1968.

5. Iraq
Settlement of the Kurdish war may
be in sight.
government and Kurdish representatives
have hammered out agreements on major
issues, at least on sa?er.
The big question is whether Bazzaz still
has the strength and influence to make
a Kurdish settlement stick despite the
hotheads on both sides and the machina-
tions of his political enemies.
