Communist China
General Vinh Loc, commander of the
II Corps area in the Vietnamese high-
lands, is reported in a Saigon hospital.
The rumors have it he will not be going
back to his headquarters.
Ky does want to cut some of the
powerful corps commanders down to size,
but he thinks highly of Loc. He may be
plannin to use Loc as a replacement
for the IV Corps commander, Gen-
eral Dan Van Quang
civil
air traffic in northwest China was
grounded for several hours today. This
may have been caused by bad weather,

4. Communist China
5. Soviet Union
The Russians are very much inter-
ested in the Pan American jetliner which
crashed in East Germany this morning,
killing the three-man crew./
US officials are still trying to
get permission to go to the crash, but
we expect the Soviets to be rather unco-
operative. They will unquestionably, see
this as the time to retaliate for the
treatment they received last April when
one of their fighters crashed in the Brit-
ish sector of Berlin.

6. Israel-Jordan
The situation is moving from bad
to worse. Ambassador Burns in Amman
says that pressure is building for Jor-
dan not to wait for another attack, but
to attack Israel now.
The first demonstration--a nasty
one--protesting the government's inac-
tion took place near the scene of the
Israeli incident today. The ambassador
feels that Husayn may come to believe
that he must vindicate his leadership
,by striking at Israel in order to save
himself.
So far the King has stood firm
against attacking Israel now, but says
he will certainly be forced to do so
if Israel strikes again. He also says
he expects the US to provide him arms
and to restrain Israel.
