North Vietnam: A top-drawer
North Vietnamese delegation has
arrived in Moscow to participate
in the celebration of the 50th
anniversary of the Bolshevik rev-
olution.
The delegation, headed by
party First Secretary Le Duan,
includes two other politburo
members, Defense Minister Vo
Nguyen Giap and Foreign Minister
Nguyen Duy Trinh. The Soviets
trotted out their top brass to
greet the North Vietnamese. Lead-
ing the reception committee was
General Secretary Brezhnev.
President Podgorny and Premier_
Kosygin also met the North Viet-
namese delegation at the airport.
South Vietnam: Police au-
thorities in Hue believe that
the militant Buddhists are set to

GENERAL
renew antigovernment activities
there. According to these of-
ficials, orders have come from
a Saigon headquarters of the
militant faction calling for a
step-up in antigovernment activ-
ities, to include immolations.
The local police, who claim to
have substantial evidence of
Viet Cong efforts to manipulate
Buddhist organizations in Hue,
have taken measures to prevent
serious trouble.
Military action in the South
is focused on the northern III
Corps area where the Communists,
on 31 October, attacked the Loc
Ninh Special Forces camp for the
second time in three days. Enemy
forces failed again to overrun
the camp and suffered heavy cas-
ualties. Over 350 Communist
soldiers have been killed in the
two assaults so far.
