DAILY BRIEF
10 APRIL 1967
1. North Vietnam
2. South Vietnam
3. Communist China
4. Soviet Union
Local elections went off smoothly
yesterday for the second successive
Sunday. Voter turnout was again high,
probably even better than the 80.5 per-
cent recorded last week. Viet Cong
harassment was minimal on election day,
though there had been a few incidents in
the days just before.
The strident campaign against Liu
Shao-chi has entered its second week.
Hundreds of thousands of Chinese surged
through Peking streets again yesterday
chanting demands for his ouster. Lurid
anti-Liu cartoons blossomed on the
streets over the weekend, one of them
depicting Liu's wife as a painted prosti-
tute.

Constitutional government will be
under severe strain in the coming dif-
ficult weeks. It may not survive.
Premier Kanellopoulos is not likely
to win a vote of confidence on Wednesday.
His next move will probably be to dis-
solve parliament and call for national
elections./
The firefight on Saturday between
Greek and Turkish Cypriots was the worst
in several months.
The border is quiet in the wake of
Friday's major outbreaks.
Syria lost six of its 26
MIG-21s.
The India aid consortium has agreed
on a $1,280 million target for this year--
a figure that includes supplementary food
assistance to match the US pledge. This
is an encouraging start. Now begins the
tough job of extracting specific pledges.
