*Vietnam: (Information as of 4:30 AM EST)
The Military Situation in South Vietnam: A South
Vietnamese force of approximately 500 troops began
a search-and-destroy operation in the Demilitarized
Zone today. US advisors were not to accompany these
ARVN elements.
This operation is in reaction to a Viet Cong attack
on a special police squad in that area on 2 March in
which six officers were killed and 13 wounded. An
ARVN force of this size operating in the Demilitarized
Zone may result in a direct military response from
North Vietnam.

South Vietnamese troops initiating an operation yes-
terday in Thua Thien Province reported engaging an es-
timated two companies of Viet Cong about 15 miles north-
west of Hue. Casualty reports are not yet available.
During a clash with enemy forces in this vicinity on
28 February, government troops sustained casualties of
15 killed, 15 wounded, and 25 missing. Viet Cong losses
were unknown.
The second instance this week of Viet Cong harass-
ment of shipping in the Saigon River was reported yes-
terday, when a small South Vietnamese fuel barge caught
fire during an enemy attack. Rescue forces quickly ex-
tinguished the fire and towed the barge back to Saigon.
Six crew members were wounded during the incident.
Concerned officials are now considering counter-
measures, including the arming of ships using the water-
way and an increase in the number of river patrols.

Indonesia: President Sukarno has made further
moves to suppress opposition and to consolidate his
authority.
Yesterday he ordered the temporary closing of
the University of Indonesia in Djakarta and has banned
all student activities both within its premises and
outside. In recent days students had used university
buildings as their headquarters for agitation against
Foreign Minister Subandrio and other leftist cabinet
members. On 2 March Sukarno had ordered the
army to "surmount" incidents in Djakarta--an ob-
vious reference to student unruliness--so that
public order could be maintained.
The army seems acutely aware of the threat
to its own political position which is posed by
Sukarno's continued moves.
the discussion of a
wide range of possible responses varying from some
form of direct action against the palace to simply
waiting for Sukarno to die, Apparently there is con-
siderable hope within the army that Subandrio can
be brought to trial for im lication in the events of

Ghana-Africa: Radical Africans, led by Guinea's
Sekou Tour6, appear to have launched a strong po-
litical counteroffensive in behalf of the ousted Nkrumah.
At a mass meeting in Conakry on 2 March, called
to welcome Nkrumah, Tour6 designated Nkrumah as
"President of Guinea" and "foremost leader" of the
ruling Democratic Party of Guinea--Toure's own po-
sitions. Although Toure's words may have been essen-
tially a gesture of hospitality, his objective appears to
be to enhance the exiled Nkrumah's status as a "legiti-
mate" chief of state. In any event, Tour6 certainly
plans to retain effective control over Guinean policy.
Subsequently, the Guinean secretary general of
the OAU indicated that in his view Toure's announce-
ment meant that Nkrumah was becoming president of
a resurrected Guinea-Ghana Union, with Tour6 as its
vice-president. Such a fictionally unified state would
theoretically permit Nkrumah's representatives at
international meetings to claim to speak for Ghana.
Toure's speech may also foreshadow major diffi-
culties for US-Guinean relations. He stated that Guinea
would judge the "honesty" of other countries of the
world in their relations with Africa in terms of their
attitude toward the Ghanaian rebels.
The radical African states, possibly influenced
by Guinea's gestures, seem to be pushing the Ghanaian
issue at the current OAU foreign ministers' conference
at Addis Ababa to the point of breaking up the meeting.
Although representatives of the new regime in
Accra had already been accorded the right to be seated
in the plenary sessions, yesterday the delegates from
