28 September 1964
DAILY BRIEF
*South Vietnam: Premier Khanh appears intent
on taking forceful action against Rhade paramilitary
units now that the latter no longer hold Vietnamese
hostages.
Kh'anh has ordered General Dinh, recently given
responsibility for resolving the tribal difficulties in
Darlac and Quang Duc provinces, to occupy the Special
Forces camp from which the hostages were rescued
yesterday. Khanh agreed to delay the operation only
long enough to permit the evacuation of US Special
Forces advisers in the camp.
The premier plans the early arrest of certain
Vietnamese, French and tribal personalities alleged
to have been the instigators of the recent Rhade re-
bellion. He would also delay for several weeks a prom-
ised tribal congress on the ground that to hold it now
would suggest government responsiveness to Rhade
pressures.
The hard line now taken by Khanh threatens to un-
do progress made during the past week in inducing re-
bellious Rhade paramilitary units to return to their
camps and in creating the basis for negotiations between
the government and the tribesmen. The occupation in
force of the Special Forces camp will, in particular,
be likely to be interpreted by the Rhade as evidence of
government duplicity and might lead to a further out-
break of armed uprisings by the tribesmen.
In Saigon, fresh coup rumors over the week end
led to the reinforcement of normal security forces by
airborne and marine units. The reason for the

increased tension is not known, but it may be related
to renewed demands by the young generals who put
down the 13 September coup attempt for the. trial of
those officers implicated in the coup and the ouster of
the five generals of the former Minh junta accused of
neutralist sentiments.
The 17-man High National Council, after being
formally launched on 26, September by Minh and Khanh,
has begun work on a provisional constitution and the
selection of a provisional national assembly. Pharr
Khac Suu, an elderly nationalist politician imprisoned
by Diem, has been elected chairman of the council.

 Congo: Government forces are stalled in the
nort moist, and in the east the rebel build up around
Bukavu continues,
Strong rebel resistance has stalled a combined
mercenary-gendarme force east of Lisala. Another
government force, recently repulsed at Boende, has
withdrawn to await air support and reinforcements.
The rebel build up north and west of Bukavu continues.
There have been some skirmishes southwest of the
city.
Rebel leaders Gbenye and Soumialot refused to
let the International Red Cross aircraft, which ar-
rived in Stanleyville on 25 September, evacuate any
Europeans or Americans. The plane returned to
Bangui on 26 September. The five US consular offi-
cials are reported to be in good health, although
under house arrest.
The Red Cross mission leaders reported that
Gbenye and Soumialot appeared to have little control
or influence over their troops, and that the troops
consider the Europeans, especially the Americans,
as guarantees against bombing attacks. The mission
described the situation in Stanleyville as' very unstable,
because of bitterness between the civilians and the
army. Food was in extremely short supply, and
near chaos reigned outside the city.
The US ambassador in Nairobi reports that all
indications are that the OAU Congo conciliation com-
mission chairman Prime Minister Kenyatta has de-
cided that Tshombe "must go," and that foreign support,
especially US, must be withdrawn.
Kenyatta, according to Ambassador Attwood,
has been sold completely on a "political solution;'

Egypt - Saudi Arabia -, Yemen: The Nasir-Faysal
agreement to cooperate in arranging a settlement of
the Yemen problem apparently is not progressing.
There is also no indication that the planned
cease-fire between the republicans and royalists in
Yemen will soon be achieved. The situation is com-
plicated. by power rivalries and tribal-religious dis-
putes within the republican ranks. The Egyptians
have been trying to resolve these differences, and
until they do, steps toward a settlement with the
royalists are unlikely.
The republicans are said to be less than enthu-
siastic about the Nasir-Faysal agreement. At the
Arab summit conference earlier this month, Nasir
and Faysal reportedly agreed to establish a "com-
mission" of ten Yemenis, five from each side, with
Egyptians and Saudis as observers. After a cease-
fire is arranged, this body is to discuss the forma-
tion of a Yemeni council, which would include some
royalist as well as republican elements. The Imam,
however, would almost certainly be excluded.
Faysal evidently is ready to accept this, and, to
facilitate a settlement, would probably subsidize the
Imam's exile if Nasir would withdraw most of his
troops from Yemen. The Egyptians, in return, ap-
parently are willing to sacrifice republican President 25X1
Sallal who has been little more than a figurehead for
some time.

East Germany - West Germany: The East Germans
have levied new demands on West Germany for as yet
unknown concessions in interzonal trade (IZT).
The East Germans insist that Bonn accept them
in principle by the end of September and work out
detailed agreements by the end of the year. Many of
the demands are unacceptable to West Germany ac-
cording to the West German IZT negotiator, Leopold,
who will recommend to Bonn that the FRG not nego-
tiate under pressure of an "ultimatum."
Leopold believes the timing of the request strongly
suggests East Germany may bring pressure to bear
by interfering with civilian autobahn traffic or serving
notice of abrogation of the IZT agreement by 30 Sep-
tember. It is unlikely, however, that the abrogation
threat would be carried out when the agreement ex-
pires 1 January 1965. The East Germans derive con-
siderable economic benefit from trade with West
Germany. Abrogation of the agreement, moreover,
would create an unfavorable atmosphere for Khrushchev's
visit to Bonn, now slated for early next year.

Frei stressed the importance of early agreement
with the US copper companies to make possible in-
creased investment and production. The embassy
expects, however, that Chilean negotiations with
the copper companies will be hard and probably pro-
longed.. Frei wants refining to be done in Chile,
with Chile having a voice in marketing and some
form of participation in new investment. Frei added
that he realizes the companies must have assured
stability if they are to undertake increased inputs
of capital.

Frei says his requirements for external assist-
ance will be large, but he is optimistic concerning
refinancing of the already sizable foreign debt. He
stressed, that foreign assistance can be justified only
in proportion to the extent of Chile's internal effort.

Spain: Coreign Minister Castiella told Ambas-
sador Woodward on 25 September that his govern-
ment never believed the US Government had any
responsibility for the recent attack near Cuba on
the Spanish ship, Sierra de Aranzazu. Castiella
added., however, that he believed Madrid's desire
\\ to develop even better relations with the US would
be substantially assisted if the US would "'cooperate"
so another Spanish ship about to depart would. have
a better chance to reach its Cuban destination safely.
Alluding to the US-Spanish joint military exercise
STEEL PIKE--the announcement of which Madrid
25X1
has been holding up--Castiella said this question
"would fall into place" once a satisfactory answer
to his request was received,
