DAILY BRIEF
14 SEPTEMBER 1967
1. South Vietnam
2. India
3. Hong Kong
The Thieu-Ky rivalry seems a bit
less close to the precipice than it
did a da or two a o
Shelling broke out again this
morning along the Sikkim-Tibet fron-
tier for the fourth straight day. We
still see no signs\that either side
is gearing up for a big operation, how-
ever.
The lull in Communist terrorism
is continuing, the Communist press has
become somewhat less inflammatory, and
Peking's propaganda on Hong Kong has
dropped off. We feel sure, however,
that the Communists in the colony will
return to the charge in due time.

5. Indonesia
Yesterday the North Koreans sabo-
taged another South\Korean train, the
second such incident in nine days after
many years without this sort of thing.
President Pak is furious, feeling
that South Korea has been too patient
in the face of steadily increasing Com-
munist provocations. He/ 50X1
/may
be thinking of stepping up retaliatory
action. South Korean forces have
raided the North on several occasions
(the latest on 2 September) despite US
attempts to discourage such action.

for the President's Eyes Only
14 September 1967
Barge Shortage: The North Vietnamese have been
losing barges to.airstrikes faster than they can build
them. To cover the deficit, Hanoi has ordered some
200 barges from. Communist countries for delivery in
1967. At least 90 barges had been delivered by,
end of.July. The barges ordered by North Vietnam
are for use on the inland waterways as well.as for.
lightering cargo from freighters in port.

?On Haiphong Bombings: Hanoi reacted predictably
to the recent raids on Haiphong. The Foreign Minis-
try issued a statement condemning the raids as escala-
tion and charging they put the lie to the US search
for peace. ?
