Laos 2. South Vietnam The purpose behind the sizable Communist build-up in southern Laos near Tchepone over the past month still remains uncertain. It is not clear whether immediate Communist military intentions here focus principally on Laos or on South Vietnam./ Buddhist leader- Tri Quang says he has started a hunger strike in protest ,against the Huong government and General Khanh's power. If this does not get results, he threatens several Buddhist self-immolations before the US Embassy. Meanwhile, popular agitation in central South Vietnam has subsided again. 3, Nationalist China The appointment of Chiang Ching- kuo as Minister of National Defense ?is another step toward succession to his father's leadership. Up to now he has operated behind the scenes, par- ticularly in security matters. His as- sumption of a key public office pro- vides him an opportunity to gain recog- nition and prestige.
