Vietnam 2. Peru According to press reports, General Ky has said that military representation in the new cabinet will be limited to de- fense and security posts. Ky and Thieu told Ambassador Taylor today that they expect to complete the cabinet and a draft of the government charter by Fri- day. They appear to be thinking along authoritarian lines. Ambassador Taylor reports that as a result of the heavy fighting recently the number of combat ineffective army units has gone up. At present, four regiments and nine battalions are on the ineffective list, whereas only a few weeks ago the numbers were two regiments and three battalions. In Communist China, popular appre- 50X1 hension over possible air attacks seems to be growing. 50X1 50X1 50X1 Declassified in Part - Sanitized Copy Approved for Release 2015/07/24 : CIA-RDP79T00936A003800030001-2 50X1 50X1 Declassified in Part - Sanitized Copy Approved for Release 2015/07/24 : CIA-RDP79T00936A003800030001-3, jxi 3. Guatemala 50X1 4. Dominican Republic Scattered firing in Santo Domingo stopped this morning, but there has been no letup in the rebel propaganda war against the US and the Organization of American States. Two of the 30 US paratroopers wounded yesterday have died. One Brazilian of- ficer was wounded, the first Latin Ameri- can casualty. Reports on rebel losses are confused, but they apparently suf- fered several fatalities. Rebel spokesmen today again threatened to "fight to the death." Caamano told the press today that the US and the Inter-Amer- ican Force were trying to "destroy democ- racy" in the Dominican Republic. He sar- castically challenged the Imbert regime to follow up on its propaganda threats to wipe out the rebels. 5.
