DAILY BRIEF
*South Vietnam: (the younger generals who saved
Khanh last Sunday by putting down the coup attempt
are growing more assertive in pressing their demands
on him
If Khanh wished to keep his support ana-fFaT
of General Thi, Xung's successor as I Corps com-
ma rider, he would have to purge the army of such
corrupt elements as the officers involved in Sunday's
coup attempt and the five generals of the Minh junta
earlier accused of neutralist plotting by Khanh,nl
Lung has also expressed support for the radical
reform movement of Hue University Professor Dr.
Quyen, stating that Khanh must install a civilian gov-
ernment by 1 November and that the army must get
out of politics. Xung said that Thi shares this view-
point
Insistence that Khanh stick to his schedule in re-
turning the country to civilian rule was also echoed
by the air force chief, General Ky, who told the press
yesterday the younger generals would take action if
Khanh fails to make early progress in response to
their demands
Five of the principal leaders.of the 13 September
coup attempt have now been arrested, according to
the government radio in Saigon. Two of them held

the
Gree Government is urging him to prolong the ne-
gotiations in Moscow. Greek officials argue that
this will exert pressure on the Western powers, but
Makarios believes that Athens' real concern is the
effect a Cyprus-Soviet agreement would have on
Greece's strategic position. He says that this con-
sideration is "irrelevant."
CA Cypriot delegation has been in Moscow since
11 September, but there has been no clear evidence
thus far that a formal aid agreement will be reached.
[Makarios admits that there is disagreement within
the Cypriot Government over the issue. General
Grivas and Minister of Labor Papadopoulos support
the Greek Government's position, but Makarios in-
tends to ignore them to
Makarios will be in Athens for King Constantine's
wed ling tomorrow, and the Greeks _presumably will
again press him on this question.

MEN,
*Congo: Tshomb6 may be facing new international
difficulties.
The Organization of African Unity's special Congo
mission meets in Nairobi tomorrow, and its radical
members are likely to press hard to enhance the
status of the Congo rebels.
Recent statements by the Egyptian ambassador
in Leopoldville indicate that Cairo--which is represented
on the commission- -intends to support proposals, ob-
viously calculated to favor the rebels. Ghana, and
probably Guinea and Somalia, can be expected to take
a similar line.
Kenyan Prime Minister Kenyatta, the chairman
of the commission, appears disposed to move cautiously.
Late last week. he evidently was planning to confine
the commission's activities initially to the Congo's IM
difficulties with its neighbors and to delay inviting
"Congolese factions" to Nairobi until some later date.
~Tshomb6, who plans to go to Nairobi, is anxious
to delay receiving the commission in the Congo at
least until late this month so that he can first gain

if it invites rebel leaders to Nairobi. 25X1

France-NATO: French vessels and naval offi-
cers associated with the English Channel and. Atlantic
NATO commands have been instructed not to parti-
cipate in a NATO naval exercise which is to take
place 21 to 28 September.
The French were to have participated as a force
under national command on the basis of agreements
concluded earlier in the year between SACLANT and
the French Navy. These agreements followed the
withdrawal by De Gaulle of French naval officers
from NATO staffs, and of its naval force from NATO
command in 1964.
On 15 September a French Foreign Ministry of-
ficial told a US Embassy officer in Paris that De Gaulle
had reversed his position on cooperation in the exer-
cise last week after he came to suspect that French
naval officers were disregarding his views about their
activities within NATO commands.
The official also noted press accounts of remarks
by SACLANT calling attention to French cooperation
with NATO naval commands, but denied that these
had any connection with the cancellation of French
participation in the exercise.

rance-USSR: France will offer the USSR ten-
year credit guarantees during commercial negotia-
tions scheduled. to begin on 5 October, according to
an official of the Finance Ministry. The ten-year
term will commence on the date of contract signature,
thereby effectively lengthening present credit terms
by only two or three years, since under current
practice the five-year term begins on the date of
delivery. The offer may run into difficulty, however,
if Paris insists, as it reportedly intends, that the
USSR maintain its present level of purchases on five-
year credits, and in addition buy an equal amount of
commodities under the new ten-year credit terms.

the expulsion of Cuban exiles now

take in retribution.
