*Vietnam: (Information as of 4:30 AM EDT)
Communist Military Developments: Preliminary
field analysis of a 12 August high-altitude drone recon-
naissance mission over the Hanoi area has revealed
the presence of possibly two new SAM sites- -numbers
9 and 10--in North Vietnam.
Site 9, about six miles east-southeast of Hanoi,
reportedly consists of six launch revetments in a star-
shaped configuration, a guidance revetment, and three
hold revetments. The Site appears complete and ap-
parently is operational.
Site 10, about ten miles south-southeast of Hanoi,
is apparently in the early stages of construction. The
road pattern suggests a link configuration, but only
one partially completed launch revetment is visible.
Both installations lie inside the ring of five SAM sites
earlier established around Hanoi.
Air Strikes in North Vietnam ; Eight buildings
were destroyed at the Dien Bien Phu barracks complex
as a result of air strikes on 11 and 12 August. No
assessment of the 12 August strike against the Thuan
Chau barracks has yet been received.

Preliminary reports on the armed reconnaissance
missions flown on 12 August indicate that approximately
9-12 rail cars along with about 600 feet of track were
destroyed on the rail line in northwestern DRV. A
ferry boat was also sunk and a number of other targets
were damaged.
A US Navy A4E Skyhawk was hit by ground fire
over North Vietnam yesterday and ditched alongside the
carrier Coral Sea. The pilot was rescued uninjured.
This is the eighth US aircraft lost in the past week.
Communist Political Developments- Hanoi's cur-
rent disinterest in negotiati ns was reaffirmed by a
North Vietnamese diplomat in Cairo in recent conversa-
tions with UAR foreign ministry officials.
Expressing confidence in an ultimate Communist
victory in the south, the DRV ambassador reportedly
registered "strong opposition to any negotiations at
this time and irritation with the meddling of Tito and
Shastri:' Commenting on other peace initiatives, the
DRV diplomat characterized the British Prime Minister
as a "stooge" and Ghanaian President Nkrumah as a
"seeker of publicity." UAR Foreign Ministry officials,
on hearing these remarks, assessed the DRV position
as extremely inflexible.,:
French Minister of Culture Malraux came away
from his recent discussions in Peiping with the im-
pression that the Chinese position likewise remains
"very hard:' The Chinese reportedly insisted that
there must be an actual departure of US forces before
talks and that an agreement in principle to withdraw
is not enough. However, Malraux was told that this
was really a question for Hanoi and the Liberation
Front to decide and that Peiping would abide by their
decision.
On the question of direct Chinese participation
in the fighting, Chinese Foreign Minister Chen Yi re-
portedly told Malraux that "as long as there is no en-
largement of the conflict, China will not participate:'

Chen was apparently deliberately vague about what
he meant by "enlargement:' Chen also reportedly took
the opportunity to complain of alleged repeated US
violations of China's airspace. Both points have been
raised many times in Peiping propaganda.
The Military Situation in South Vietnam: US and
Vietnamese government forces have established no
significant contacts with Viet Cong units in the Duc Co
area during the past 24 hours. Elements of the US
173rd Airborne Brigade yesterday came under small-
arms fire in the vicinity of Duc Co, while .the camp
itself was subjected to several rounds of mortar fire.
No casualties resulted from these incidents.
El
sweep operation in the area has apparently been initi-
ated.
Elsewhere, in heavy fighting 15 miles south of FRI,
According to press reports, the airstrip at Duc
Co has been re-opened, permitting the landing of
supplies and the evacuation of wounded personnel. A
Can Tho in Phong Dinh Provincea government forces
sustained only light casualties while reportedly killing
156 Viet Cong.

25X1
I Pakistan's aim in the current
Kashmir crisis is to pressure India into a settlement
which.would eventually lead to Kashmir's accession to
Pakistan. F Pakistan does not believe India
will negotiate unless such pressure is brought to bear)
I also noted, as did the recent public
statd-ment by Pakistan's foreign minister, that Pakistan
no longer has any faith in the effectiveness of the UN
to bring about a solution..,
JPakistan realizes its
encourage-me guerrilla warfare in Kashmir risks
escalation into a larger war.
Li
[Me US Embassy in Karachi has noted a feeling in
.Pakistan that during the ]Rann of Kutch crisis the Indians
were dissuaded from larger action by fear of possible
Chinese Communist intervention. The Pakistanis may
feel that the same fear will limit Indian reaction to
events in Kashmir

Disarmament: cThe western delegations at the
Geneva disarmament conference have agreed to the
presentation on 17 August of the US draft of a treaty
banning proliferation of nuclear weapons,)
[Britain has evidently decided not to present its
own draft. London still plans, however, to make pub-
lic its opposition to the provision in the US draft that
might under some circumstances permit dropping the
requirement that decisions on the use of nuclear weap-
ons in a future Allied nuclear force be subject to a US
(and perhaps British) veto.
C London's course, although less damaging to Allied
unity than offering a rival draft, will nevertheless
point up the divergency of views among the Allies on
the question of a multilateral force
Soviet delegate Tsarapkin reiterated to the press
on 11 August the standard contention that Moscow could
not accept a nondissemination treaty which left any
loopholes for German access to nuclear weapons j
Britain may expect that criticism of the US draft
by Communist and neutral delegations will ease the
way for the subsequent tabling of modified "compro-
mise" language which would be closer to the present
UK text'

*Dominican Republic: Last minute rebel intransi-
gency will probably delay a peaceful solution to the
Dominican crisis.
Acceptance of the OAS proposed Act of Reconcilia-
tion, which would establish a provisional government
and elections nine months hence, has run into opposi-
tion from Francisco Caamnano and his followers. Al-
though rebel negotiators find a number of articles in
the act objectionable, the principal issue appears to
be the leadership of the Dominican armed forces.
Rebel leaders have reversed their earlier agreement to
leave this thorny problem to the provisional president
and now insist that the service chiefs must go before
the installation of the provisional government.
With the exception of the army, the pre-revolu-
tionary leaders of the armed forces, including the
national police, remain in office. The removal of
these officers, especially Brigadier General Elias
Wessin y Wessin, has been a rebel rally cry throughout
the rebellion. To many Dominicans, these officers .
represent the corruption, venality, and brutality that
has long plagued their country.
This latest rebel tactic, in a long series of frustrat-
ing delays in reaching a settlement, could easily upset
the scheduled installation of the provisional government
by mid-August. Antonio Imbert, head of the Govern-
ment of National Reconstruction, has publicly agreed
to sign the act, but, if faced with delays, he may well
decide to renege. The proposed provisional president
Hector Garcia Godoy and his tentative cabinet may de-
cide the task is impossible and withdraw themselves
from consideration.

today after a year's absence with sales totaling about
$35 million. Continued gold sales are expected to de-
fray the foreign exchange costs of recent large pur-
chases of wheat. During the past week the USSR or-
dered nearly seven million tons of Canadian and
Argentine wheat worth approximately $500 million.
At the beginning of this year, estimated Soviet gold
reserves stood at $1.5 billion.
tive elements are reluctant to support Tsirimokos because %%%
*Greece: King Constantine's refusal late yesterday to
grant former premier Papandreou a mandate to form a new
government or to call for elections continues the serious
political crisis. Papandreou, who reportedly would have
agreed to a short-term government headed by a nonparlia-
mentary figure, apparently refused to support another
Center Union (EK) deputy as premier. Meanwhile, there
are continuing- efforts to gain support for former interior
minister Tsirimokos, considered the King's most likely
choice for premier-designate; however, certain conserva-
ackaround.
