In cities such as Hue, Da Nang, Qui Nhon, and Nha Tang, the reluctance of the police to control civil disturbances has allowed vigilante elements to take the law into their qwp hands] [Dr. Le Khac Quyen's People's Revolutionary Com- mittee (PRC) has established local People's National Salvation Councils in most of the coastal cities, where these councils often serve as de facto local govern- ments The burgeoning influence of Quyen's movement is reflected in the fact that he and a deputy have been named to the new 17-man High National Council in Saigon. There are also reports that the PRC may establish a chapter in the capital he aims of the PRC are not clear. It has been fluence in the movement, but the local councils seem highly vulnerable to Viet Cong penetration and exploita- tion.

Many ministries now handle only the most routine business. The ministers, as well as second-level bureaucrats, freely express their pessimism to US officials (Even though US and Vietnamese officials are again meeting on pacification planning, these meet- ings do not seem to lead to action by the Vietnamese] R \00 IENNE, 30 Sept 64 DAILY BRIEF 2 Approved or Release 2003/04/11 CIA-RDP79T00975AO079002 0001-7 25X1 25X1 -- - ------------------------------------------------------------------ 25X1 Approved For Release 2003/04/11 : CIA-RDP79T00975AO07900250001-7 Next 1 Page(s) In Document Exempt Approved For Release 2003/04/11 : CIA-RDP79T00975AO07900250001-7 Approved or Release 2003/04/11: CIA-RDP79T00975AO079 0250001-7 1 25X1 Cyprus: A disagreement between President Makarios and General Grivas over foreign aid could lead to an open break. Grivas has recently complained publicly that Greece has not received proper credit for the mate- rial support it has furnished the Greek Cypriots. On 27 September, Grivas made a speech in which he scoffed at expectations of aid coming from other countries. Pro-Grivas newspapers have also ques- tioned the advisability of seeking assistance from Egypt or the USSR. Makarios, the Cypriot Communists, and most of the Greek Cypriot press meanwhile continue to emphasize the importance of securing aid from Cairo and Moscow. Several Nicosia dailies claim that an aid agreement with the USSR will be signed shortly. Although Makarios and Grivas thus seem likely to clash over the foreign aid issue, their basic disagreement still seems to be over the political future of the island. Grivas remains an uncompro- mising advocate of union with Greece. Most ob- servers believe that Makarios wants an independent Cyprus under his domination and that he gives only lip service to the union idea. 77777 30 Sept 64 DAILY BRIEF 25X1 Approved or Release 2003/04/11 : CIA-RDP79T00975A00790 250001-7 2 Approved 250001-7 25X1 L United Nations: CA. resolution to give Nationalist China's seat in the UN to Communist China would probably come close to receivin a simple majority in this year's General Assembly he Japanese ambassador to the UN has told the US Mission his information indicates that such a resolution would at best fall short of a majority by six or seven votes, and at worst might even get one vote more than a majority.. The US Mission agrees that the vote would fall somewhere between those limits] The Chinese representation issue has been ruled an "important question" requiring a two- thirds majority for approval. This ruling is not likely to be changed, but a substantial increase in votes for Peiping would be a serious setback for Taipei. Last year a resolution to seat Peiping re- ceived 41 votes in favor, 57 against with 12 absten- tionsj ,thiang Kai-shek's continuing concern over in- ternal morale on Taiwan, intensified by French recognition of Peiping in January, has strengthened his determination to adhere rigidly to the principle that his is the only government of China. He might leave the United Nations precipitately if a majority of the UN members support Communist China on the re resentation issue 30 Sept 64 DAILY BRIEF 5 25X1 25X1 Approved Approved For Release 2003/04/11 : CIA-RDP79TOO975AO07 00250001-7 25X1 NOTES 25X1 11 lack communications a ui ment matic weapons, mortars, and recoilless rifles but .
