*Dominican Republic, (Information as of 0430 EDT)
Military leaders opposed to the return of former pres-
ident Bosch appear to be gaining the ascendancy over
pro-Bosch elements in the army who engineered the
24-25 April coup.
. Serious civil violence is a distinct possibility,
however, before the situation is stabilized. The
army rebels are receiving militant civilian support
in the capital where Bosch still retains important
popular support. Well-organized Communist and
other extremist groups, as well as..Bosch's own Dom-
inican Revolutionary Party, were quick to lend their
support to the army rebels. These groups evidently
control most of the weapons that were indiscriminately
handed out to groups of civilians by the rebels yester-
day.
Ranking military leaders, who were unwilling
yesterday to defend President Reid's government in
the face of the determined effort against him by jun-
ior army officers, quickly came to recognize the
Communist threat after his resignation. The air
force chief of staff, General de los Santos, gained
the backing of ranking army and navy officers for a
decision to fight rather than to accede to the rebel
demand that Bosch immediately be recalled from
exile in Puerto Rico and reinstated as president.
military leaders were trying 25X1

India-Pakistan: The situation in the desolate Rann
of Kutch has grown more ominous as a result of a sharp
upswing in fighting.
The pattern of intermittent firing and patrol activity
was broken last week by a step-up in artillery exchanges
and, on 21 April, by a Pakistani attack on an Indian
post some 20 miles east of the scene of clashes earlier
this month. F JPakistani forces 25X1
returned to the attack on the 24th in the original area
of confrontation but were beaten back.
Pakistan has admitted the 21 April attack, but
claims it was pre-emptive and denies the Indian charge
that tanks were, used. The status of fighting on the 24th
is less clear, but intermittent firing was reported con-
tinuing through the 25th.
Both sides have considerably stiffened their nego-
tiatingtermsfor a cease-fire as each has become in-
creasingly hobbled by its own rhetoric and by considera-
tions of face. This is particularly true on the Indian
side where parliament is in session.
*The Indian Defense Minister said today he had
ordered an alert of the Indian armed forces, but Indian
reports of full mobilization on the Pakistani side are
unsubstantiated.
[Precise strength figures on both sides are not
known. However, each side could probably bring
6,000-7,000 men to bear on very short notice., In
addition, Pakistan has probably deployed at least 36
medium tanks (one regiment) to the general areaJ.
The subject of US-supplied materiel has again
arisen in a charge by the Indian Army chief about
Pakistan's alleged use of American- supplied tanks.
He presumably hopes that American intercession on
this question can ease pressures on him to reply in

USSR: Later and more detailed information on
the Soviet economic plan report for the first quarter
of 1965 shows no change in the sluggish performance
of the past few years.
The text reveals that the claimed nine percent
increase in industrial production
Vs largely
a ri u a e to a recovery ed food
industry. This sector of the economy turned in an
exceptionally poor performance during the first
quarter of last year because of the grain disaster
in 1963.
A continuation of the slowdown in growth
rates for heavy industry was recorded. The rate of
increase in machine building output, including pro-
duction of military hardware, is less than one half
the rates claimed as late as 1960-62, and now stands
at the lowest figure since the Korean war years,
1951-52. In addition, light industrial manufacturing
failed to register any improvement over its low per-
formance of last year.
While observing that the industrial plan was ful-
filled only "as a whole," the report criticizes the
"significant number" of enterprises that failed to
meet their plan target.
