*Dominican Republic: (Information as of 4:30 AM
EDT) Except for occasional sniper fire and a few
minor skirmishes among Dominicans, Santo Domingo
was quiet yesterday with no important military devel-
opments.
Areas away from the capital generally remain
calm and under the control of loyalist police and mili-
tary units. Most population centers are described as
having reverted to a virtually normal existence, aside
from food shortages and rising prices. There are
reports, however, that rebel forces are moving into
the countryside in an effort to stir up trouble and a-
rouse support for Colonel Caamano's rebel regime.
In an effort to regain the political initiative,
loyalist forces yesterday established a five-man "Coun-
cil of National Reconstruction" government headed by
Antonio Imbert Barrera, a tough, controversial figure
who participated in the 1961 .assassination of dictator
Trujillo. The US Embassy believes that the Council,
which also includes former junta. leader Colonel Benoit
and three respected civilians, is the best available
group at the moment and presents a reasonably good
political balance., The Council lacks, however, a rep-
resentative of former Pres~, 'dent:'Joaquin Baiag uer, who
remains a major force in Dominican politics.
No new political initiatives on the part of the
Caamano "government" have been noted within the
past 24 hours. However, the rebels have been step-
ping up their efforts to impress other Dominicans as
well as the rest of the world with their claims that
only they represent constitutionality. Also, inflamma-
tory rebel broadcasts are evidently continuing despite
the recent signing. of a "psychological cease-fire"
agreement at the suggestion of the Organization of

American States commission. Loyalist officers are
becoming increasingly angered by the broadcasts,
and their continuation could jeopardize the truce.
Apparently no government has formally recog-
nized the Caamano regime yet despite the rebels'
early pleas for such recognition. Moreover it now
appears that both Chile and Costa Rica, which pre-
viously had given some indications that recognition
of the Caamano group might be near, are not_ lan-
nin to take this step in the immediate future.

as "close to the flash point."

The Pakistani foreign secretary says that if the
Indians confine any attack to disputed areas, Pakistan
will keep its response localized. If India launches
an attack into undisputed territory, however, Pakistan's
response would be generalized.
Pakistan is informing the permanent members of
the UN Security Council that it believes a serious
threat to the peace has arisen on the subcontinent. It
is not yet asking for a meeting of the council, however,
on the grounds that it does not wish to overreact.
Pakistani officials privately describe the situation
British efforts to bring Pakistan and India to the
negotiating table continue. India has responded to
Prime Minister Wilson's latest proposals with counter-
proposals of its own.

Arab States: Activist elements at the Baath party's
general conference in Damascus this week succeeded
in removing Michel Aflaq, the party's founder, as
Baath secretary general. This move is a manifesta-
tion of the continuing behind-the-scenes power struggle
in the Baath among military, civilian, Syrian, and
non-Syrian elements. The conference also adopted
an unusually tough anti-West, anti-Israel stand.
