Congo (Brazzaville): The US and other Western
embassies in Brazzaville are likely to be attacked if
relations between Brazzaville and Leopoldville deteri-
orate further.
*On 19 August, Premier Tshombd began to carry
out a recent decision to expel some 30,000 Congo
(Brazzaville) citizens now in Leopoldville. Tshomb6
believes that activities supported by Brazzaville are
the root of his troubles.
According to the Belgian Embassy in Brazzaville,
an anti-US official of the regime there stated on 19 Au-
gust that the Congolese would attack the US, British,
and Belgian embassies if Leopoldville goes through
with the expulsion. The official claimed that his gov-
ernment was already having great difficulty in pre-
venting youth groups from attempting to sack the em-
bassies.
Also on 19 August, the Brazzaville foreign min-
ister repeated to the US ambassador his previous
declaration that his government would hold countries
supporting TshombO responsible for any Leopoldville
"aggression" and that the US would "head the list."
He intimated that Brazzaville would seek Communist 25X1
support in such an eventuality.

South Vietnam. Opposition to the recent reorgani-
zation of the Ehanh government is developing and may
become serious.
Both principal Buddhist leaders, moderate Thich
Tam Chau and militant Thich Tri Quang, have expressed
apprehension over the changes. Large Buddhist dem-
onstrations in Saigon, Hu6, and. other towns yesterday
commemorating the anniversary of the Diem regime's
pagoda raids were probably intended to warn Ehanh of
the danger of reverting to repressive practices. Chau
publicly criticized Ehanh at the Saigon rally.
Quang told the US Embassy that Buddhist griev-
ances stem in part from the displacement of General
AIinh, who is identified with Diem's overthrow, while
military officers associated with the Diem regime are
given positions of authority. Quang also claimed that
the government has not adequately punished local of -
ficials in central Vietnam, where persecution of Bud-
dhists allegedly has continued, and that Saigon is plan-
ning to remove officers favored by the Buddhists in
the northern provinces.
Both Buddhist leaders in effect denied any collu-
sion with the student groups in Hu6 and Saigon who
have been protesting the authoritarian character of
the new constitution. Students have become a growing
political force of their own since last year's Buddhist
campaign against Diem, but they may also be subject
to manipulation by the Buddhist leadership or by po-
litical rivals of Ehanh. The students have threatened
further demonstrations, and police action against
them could lead to an immediate intensification of
tensions.

Uome leading politicians in the old Khanh cabinet
are voicing cautious support for the reorganization,
probably in hopes of remaining in the new government.
Ministers close to the Buddhists and to labor, how-
ever, are reported unlikely to stay on even if asked.
The fact that some militant leaders in the Vietnamese
Catholic community are indicating strong support for
the reorganization seems likely to stimulate Buddhist 25X1
opposition.

British Guiana:Jagan and the Peoples Progres-
sive Party (PPP) have apparently decided to cease
their efforts to prevent elections this fall.`
Jagan has, however, eci e to con-
test the election, which the British plan to conduct
on the proportional representation principle. -I
the PPP may tone down its pro-Com-
munist, anti-US line. The party has information that
concern about Communism has developed among the
East Indian community where the party's strength
lies. I
he PPP may, however, continue harassing
tactics, and intimidation of the opposition apparently
is to remain standard procedure. Because of pres-
sure from the PPP, two executives of the new Justice
Party, which was launched on 9 August to attract vot-
ers dissatisfied with Jagan, have severed their asso-
ciation with the partyo
