On 22 November the column, after overcoming difficulties in ferrying equipment across the Lowa river at Aluta, was pushing on to Lubutu. An addi- tional supporting force for the column began to cross the river yesterday after moving up from Kindu. So far rebel resistance to the main column has been light. The mercenaries are supported by four T-28s and four T-6s operating from Punia, and by three B-26s from Kindu. The situation in Stanleyville appears to be increas- ingly volatile. There are signs that top rebel authori- ties may have fled the city, leaving it in the hands of youth gangs which in the past have been the main per- petrators of atrocities against Europeans. Broadcasts from Stanleyville continue to reiterate that the hostages are well but that their fate depends on the successful conclusion of negotiations apparently now going on in Nairobi. Rebel "foreign minister" Thomas Kanza, appointed by "president" Gbenye to be sole rebel spokesman in negotiations on the disposition 25X1 of the hostages, di~Lnot appear in NairolLi until yes- 25X1 terday.

Police yesterday broke up a demonstration in Saigon by several hundred students, injuring a num- ber and arresting 30. Later in the day, a much larger crowd, which had assembled around Chief of State Pham Khac Suu's official residence, was dis mw persed by regular troops using tear gas grenades. Buddhist leaders have announced that they will protest alleged police brutality in breaking up the demonstrations, which appear to have had some Buddhist sanction. Principal Buddhist leader Tri Quang, though op- posed to the Huong government, has thus far remained on the sidelines, permitting his rival, Tam Chau, to lead Buddhist agitation for government changes. Yes- terday's outbreaks, however, may impel Tri Quang to throw his considerable influence behind overt anti- government activities. Regular army participation in quashing yesterday's agitation indicates that the military, for the moment at least, is prepared to back Huong. It is uncertain, 25X1 however, whether General Khanh would be willing to provide sustained support in the face of possible further student-Buddhist provocations. 25X1 23 Nov 64 DAILY BRIEF 3 roved F 000180001-325X1 App ~ , A ._._.___ __ J _._ A.1.... /1AA~f /A I /A ~l /'~I A 1"f111"1 ~1f1TAAf1~lC A AA AAAA [fAAAA ~f 25X1 United Nations: he four UN ambassadors who promulgated the plan for a "voluntary rescue fund" to permit delinquents to pay their UN arrears will probably take no further action until the USSR and France respond New proposals by two of these ambassadors to mo ify the plan have created sharp divisions in the group and are limiting its ability to take more effec- tive action. The Norwegian member of the group dis- counts as untrue a recent press report that Moscow has rejected the voluntary fund idea Moscow, however, has not changed its adamant position on the payment issue. According to a Czech- oslovakian UN official, Moscow has enough votes to put off the question until next year's General Assembly session and will move for postponemenj [Whether the USSR has enough votes is question- able. Many UN members, however, are eager to avoid confrontation on the issue and may subscribe to any maneuver that will put off a showdownJ 23 Nov 64 DAILY BRIEF 4 25X1 25X1 Approved or a ease - 000180001-3 \\\ ?

He associated the price problem with an alleged dis- unity in the European political sphere, "which first of all concerns. defense," and urged the creation of a "European" military force, "allied of course to the New World, but... with its own means and its own obligations," An economically and politically inde- pendent continental organization might then, accord- ing to De Gaulle, attract to it the East European bloc nations to form a new, viable, and powerful Europe. 23 Nov 64 Approved DAILY BRIEF 7 25X1 Approved lFor Release 2003/04/17 m - 08000180001-3 THE PRESIDENT Executive Offices of the White House Special Counsel to the President The Special Assistant for National Security Affairs The Scientific Adviser to the President The Director of the Budget The Department of State The Secretary of State The Under Secretary of State The Under Secretary of State for Political Affairs The Deputy Under Secretary of State for Political Affairs The Counselor and Chairman of the Policy Planning Council The Director of Intelligence and Research The Treasury Department The Secretary of the Treasury The Under Secretary of the Treasury The Department of Defense The Secretary of Defense The Deputy Secretary of Defense The Secretary of the Army The Secretary of the Navy The Secretary of the Air Force The Assistant Secretary of Defense (International Security Affairs) The Assistant Secretary of Defense The Chairman, The Joint Chiefs of Staff Chief of Naval Operations, United States Navy Chief of Staff, United States Air Force Chief of Staff, United States Army Commandant, United States Marine Corps U.S. Rep., Military Committee and Standing Group, NATO Supreme Allied Commander, Europe Commander in Chief, Pacific Commander in Chief, Atlantic The Director, Defense Intelligence Agency The Director, The Joint Staff The Assistant Chief of Staff for Intelligence, Department of Army The Director of Naval Intelligence, Department of Navy The Assistant Chief of Staff, Intelligence, Department of the Air Force The Department of Justice The Attorney General The Federal Bureau of Investigation The Director National Aeronautics and Space Administration The Administrator The Atomic Energy Commission The Chairman The National Security Agency The Director The United States Information Agency The Director The National Indications Center The Director Approve Approved For ReleasT(W4/,SE FPT9T00975Aa08000180001-3 Approved For Releas /1S 1I T00975AO08000180001-3
