Several day and night armed reconnaissance

south of the 20th parallel. A variety of targets--in-
cluding trucks, ferries, barges, secondary bridges,
boxcars, automatic weapons positions, a truck park,

The Military Situation in South Vietnam: No
significant Viet tong actions have been noted during
the past 48 hours, although the guerrillas are main-
taining a high degree of small-scale harassment and
sabotage throughout South Vietnam. A Chinese Com-
munist manufactured 75-mm. recoilless rifle was
captured from the Viet Cong.east of Hue, but reports
of the discovery of a large weapons cache have not
been confirmed by US officials in South Vietnam.
The Communist clandestine Liberation Radio has
appealed to "our armed forces and people to seize this
favorable opportunity to strive to kill more enemy
troops, attack the enemy more often, and maintain
pressure on him." The broadcast warned, however,
against overconfidence after victories and against un-
derestimating the enemy. It stressed that along with
military activities by various "concentrated units,"
guerrilla activity must be expanded to consolidate
political control of rural areas and overthrow the "pup-
pet administration."
Political Developments in South Vietnam: No
change in the status of the cabinet occurred yesterday.
The Catholics maintained pressure on the government
by sending another delegation to Chief of State Suu to
demand Premier Quat's resignation. While the Catholic
campaign continues restrained, speakers at an anti-
government rally in Saigon Sunday evening reportedly
called for recruits for a Catholic "security force."
This is the first open suggestion that--as Buddhist
circles recently charged--they may be trying to create
a paramilitary following.

Early on 7 June a shooting incident. occurred in
the vicinity of a military barracks in Saigon when US
guards fired on four Vietnamese youths, three of them
Catholics, who had ignored an order to halt. One
youth was killed and another seriously wounded. The
incident may add to current political tension by arousing
the sensitivities of the Vietnamese, particularly the
Catholics who have begun to complain of US support
for a government which they allege is oppressing them.

*Argentina: US Consul Temple Wanamake.r was
seriously wounded_by, a burst of machine-gun fire
yesterday afternoon in Cordoba--about 500 miles
northwest of Buenos Aires.
There is as yet no indication who the attackers
were or why Wanamaker was the target.
This is the second attack, however, on Wana-
maker within the past 30 days. On 12 May his car was
damaged by an incendiary bombcn an action attributed
to the Argentine Communist Party (PCA)
There have been other recent reports that ter-
rorist activities were planned by various extremist
groups in the event Argentine troops were sent to the
Dominican Republic and consequent attacks on US
personnel and property were threatened by the
Peronist Revolutionary Movement (MRP) and the ultra-
nationalist National Restoration Guard (GRN). Be-
tween 24 May and 2 June bombs were re ortedl ex-
ploded at seven US-connected companies

NOTES
Chile: ,(A Chilean official has indicated that Chile's
recent sale of 6,000 metric tons of copper to Commu-
nist China is regarded as introduction of a major ex-
port into a market with "fantastic" potential. In re-
sponse to a US Embassy officer's comments, he
warned against trying to use foreign assets control
regulations to bar such sales, saying that Chile would
obviously not let a US regulation prevent sales con-
sidered in Chile's national interest. In the opinion of
the official, some leaders of the governing Christian
Democratic Party would welcome closer ties with the
Chinese as showing increasing economic independence
of the US. 25X1
Brazil: The government is taking steps to pre-
vent some of its opponents, including supporters of
ex-president Goulart, from running in the gubernatorial
elections scheduled for October in 11 of Brazil's 22
states. To accomplish this it will seek early legisla-
tion under a recent constitutional amendment govern-
ing eligibility of candidates. The new laws will tend
to eliminate potential candidates who would be most
inclined to make campaign issues of the growing public
dissatisfaction with the regime's economic policies
which are blamed for Brazil's current recession and
