DAILY BRIEF
IMME
INEW,
*South Vietnam: Premier Khanh is moving slowly
to try to stabilize his. position.
,H e told Ambassador Taylor that, at Buddhist re-
quest, he was still holding up the arrest of certain
suspected Viet Cong agents. Khanh argued that he
had to move slowly in such matters until emotions
subside. He appeared particularly concerned with
the need to retain Buddhist support
[K-hanh told Taylor that he had decided to "butter
up" General Minh by giving him the title of chief of
the triumvirate, and making him largely responsible
for setting up the proposed Council of National Unity
which is to select a provisional government. Khanh
apparently has not yet formally accepted any mili-
tary resignations from his interim government, but
he said he intends to name himself defense minister
in place of General Khiem, and shortly to abolish
Khiem's position of armed forces commander in chie7
Khanh has moved without overt resistance so far
to reduce the power of Dai. Viet officers. The 7th
Division south of Saigon has been resubordinated to
the IV Corps command in the far south, and the
loyal armored commander reportedly has tightened
his control over armored squadrons.
Civilian Dai Viet Party leader Nguyen Ton Hoan
departed this weekend for "temporary" exile. Moan
has issued a statement from Hong Kong charging that

action would be taken if the situation does not improve.
Although there has been no significant change in
Viet Cong military activity, government air defense
of two Mekong River outposts under heavy Communist
attack near Cambodia on 5 September led to border
violations by Cambodian gunboats and one jet aircraft.
Continued border tensions could provoke some retali-
atory measures by the Khanh government, partly as. a
device to unify the Vietnamese public.

The future of the two British military
*Cyprus:
bases may become a major issue in negotiations for
a Cyprus settlement.
President Makarios, in a 5 September interview,
stated that the future of the British bases should be
discussed before enosis. He expressed opposition to
Britain's maintaining sovereignty over the bases
which, he claimed, would permit London at some
future date to transfer them to some other "organiza-
tion"--presumably a reference to proposals for NATO
bases on the island.
Makarios' statement may indicate a new position
from which he hopes to preclude enosis--at least or
some time--and thus retain his political power.

[Kostopoulos also expressed confidence that Gen-
eral Grivas now has "complete control" over Greek
Cypriot forces and will prevent them from "getting
out of line." Grivas, according to Kostopoulos, will -
also insure that supplies get through to both the Turk
ish Cypriots and the Turkish Army: conti.ngent in order
to prevent new violence)

[Greek Foreign Minister Kostopoulos informed
the US ambassador in Athens that during the Makarios-
Nasir meetings the Egyptian President agreed to make
a few Harvard-type planes available to the Greek
Cypriots. He also stated that Makarios will now per-
mit the rotation, under UN supervision, of troops of
the Turkish Army contingent on Cyprus
