DAILY BRIEF
South Vietnam: There are continuing indications
that the Diem government is discredited among wide
elements of the bureaucracy and the urban populatio J
(Le Cong Thanh, long-time administrator general
of South Vietnam's National Assembly, told a US Em-
bassy officer on 23 September that public acceptance
of government statements was "practically zero" and
that people in Saigon, including asse bly deputies
and civil servants, wanted a change.)
Thanh said he personally thought, however, that
OF/El 25X1
confirm appointments at the cabinet level;
there is no alternative to Diem and that Nhu has val-
uable qualities. He advocated that Nhu should be
given formal status as prime minister, that Madame
Nhu be permanently exiled, and. that elections be held
for a genuinely free National Assembly, which would.
The US Embassy has noted. an accumulation of un-
confirmed reports, from both student and labor circles,
that students are fleeing the cities to avoid arrest.
Some of the fugitives reportedly are joining the Viet
Cong, partly to obtain arms
(According to some labor officials, many students,
as well as other Vietnamese, recognize the Viet Cong
military apparatus as Communist inspired., but do not
so view the Liberation Front, the political arm of the
Viet Cong, which pur orts to embrace a variety of po-
litical g rou in s,

Yemen: There is growing internal pressure for
a drastic change in the leadership of the republican
regime and for a reduction of Egyptian influence.
A recent "popular" conference, which was re-
portedly attended by 3,000 nonroyalist tribal, reli-
gious, and other notables, called for a supreme coun-
cil of tribal chiefs to replace the present executive
council and for the creation of a tribal army. The
conference also asked for the withdrawal of Egyptian
troops from noncombat areas, especially al-Hudaydah
port.
The conference did not express opposition to the
republic itself or profess any devotion to the old reli-
gious imamate, which the royalists wish to restore.
Demonstrations in support of the conference have
more recently occurred in Sana and have stressed
the theme, "Egyptians go home:'
The Egyptians appear to believe that the present
regime is unworkable, and they may be preparing to
reconstruct it on a broader basis. Yemeni President
Sallal returned to Yemen from Cairo on 22 September,
ostensibly to celebrate the anniversary of the Yemen
revolution on 26 September. Egyptian Field Marshal 25X1
Amer and another of Nasir's top aides, Anwar Sadat,
are to arrive shortly,

Central African Republic: An abortive mutiny
by two army companies protesting low pay was put
down by President Dacko's French-led gendarmerie
in Bangui on 22 September. The dissident troops
are now under guard of loyal army forces, while
gendarmerie units appear to have the general situa-
tion under control. This incident does not appear
to have political overtones, but it is another symptom
of the unrest which seems to be spreading through
