DAILY BRIEF
8 MAY 1965
Dominican Republic
LATE ITEM
(Information as of 12:00 noon EDT)
The military situation in Santo
Domingo remains relatively quiet, al-
though the rebels have probed in the
vicinity of the National Palace.
Caamano's "government" obviously would
like to seize the Palace if it could.
The Caamano group is still seeking
diplomatic recognition. Its present
prospects in the hemisphere remain slim.
Venezuela, which had earlier appeared
inclined to extend reco?nition has de-
cided against it.
The situation in the hinterland
remains generally quiet, although some
signs of rebel activity have been noted
in the southwestern part of the country.
The US Embassy has received reports that
rebels are moving into the countryside
in an effort to create unrest and rally
support for Caamano.
The Argentine ambassador says that
Caamano's wife and two children are
still in asylum in his embassy. The
fact that Caamano is keeping them there
suggests some irresolution on his part,
? or possibly doubt about the ultimate out-
come.

DAILY BRIEF
8 MAY 1965
1. Vietnam
2. India-Pakistan
Shipments of Soviet military equip-
ment to Hanoi may have begun to arrive.
Preliminary field analysis of aerial
photography taken on 6 May of Phuc Yen
airfield near Hanoi reports seven fighter
aircraft in various stages of assembly
alongside large packing crates. In all
probability, these crates came by rail
from the Soviet Union through China.
These hew fighters would bring the
total at Phuc Yen to 51. There is still
no hard evidence that surface-to-air
missile equipment has arrived in North
Vietnam.
No significant new developments
have been reported from Saigon since
last evening.
The US Embassy in Karachi reports
that the Pakistanis, finding themselves
with the distinct possibility of major
conflict with India, are now intensely
concerned and greatly sobered. The em-
bassy says they' now seem prepared, "as
never before," to rely upon diplomacy
to calm the situation.
The embassy estimates, however,
that there is "appreciable danger" of
a conflagration, possibly as a conse-
quence of a calculated decision in New
Delhi, but much more likely through
some inadvertent incident.
The embassy points out that ground
forces of the two sides are in places
deployed only a hundred yards or so
apart and that reconnaissance aircraft
are flying up and down the borders.
