INFORMATION AS OF 1030 EST
50X1
This morning's strike some 80 miles
south of Hanoi destroyed the Dong Thong
bridge, according to pilot reports. The
Thanh Hoa bridge was still intact.
No significant new political develop-
ments have been reported.
A resurgence of communal violence in
Singapore and on the mainland is causing
serious concern among local authorities.
Limited Arab military moves along
Israeli borders appear to be continuing.
These deployments still seem to be de-
fensive and precautionary, reflecting con-
cern over possible Israeli military action
to halt Arab diversion of the Jordan
river headwaters.
Bonn is hoping to put off the formal
establishment of diplomatic relations with
Israel as long as possible in order to
give the Arabs a chance to cool off. The
Germans are concerned, however, that too
much stalling may irritate the Israelis.
A West German representative is returning
to Tel Aviv next week to talk things over.
