18 June 1964
DAILY BRIEF
Turke : Parliamentary maneuvering may limit
Prime Afinister Inonu's freedom to negotiate over the
Cyprus issue during his visit to the US next, week.
The opposition Justice Party and the minor parties
have decided to withhold support from Inonu in a con-
fidence vote scheduled for 19 June. Inonuls Republi-
can People's Party does not have enough strength by
itself to win the vote against concerted action by the
opposition.
A majority- -226- -of the whole membership of
the National Assembly, however, rather than simply
a majority of those present and voting, is required
to oust the government. The inclination of many
deputies to abstain, coupled with weak party disci-
-pline, especially in the minor parties, is thus likely
to preserve the government.
The attitudes of the parties indicate that even if
Inonu receives a vote of confidence he probably would
face great difficulty in getting Parliament to approve
any concessions he might make toward a Cyprus
settleme it. F

Congo: President Kasavubu has indicated. that he
intends to retain Adoula as premier to govern until
national elections are held.
According to the Belgian ambassador in Leopold-
ville, Kasavubu has said that other candidates had.
little to offer and that Adoula is the only "legal con-
tender." He said Adoula's government would be
essentially unchanged. The President also said he
was thinking of holding a round-table conference of
all Congolese leaders, including Tshomb6 and Gizenga,
sometime before the elections, which are tentatively
scheduled for early next year.
Kasavubu, if he has in fact made up his mind,
seems to be discounting the pressures for a change
of government which have mounted. as a result of the
deteriorating security situation. Even were this
situation to improve, Adoula would probably continue
to face strong opposition unless he brings at least
some of his opponents into the cabinet.
cTshomb, who is capable of posing a serious
threat to the central government's authority in Katanga,
is reported to have flown to Burundi on 15 June to
meet anti-Adoula elements, The former Katangan 25X1
leader is apparently trying to bring together al major
Congolese elements opposing the government.

Burma: There appears to be growing dissatis-
facti6in -with the Ne Win regime, which has bungled
its economic program and has failed to curb ethnic
insurgency.
Serious shortages of staple food items have
developed., primarily because of the rapid nationali-
zation of the retail distribution system. In additioni
the savings of many Burmese have been wiped, out
as a result of currency mismanagement.
The prominence of former Communists within
the governmental apparatus has led to a sense of
desperation and to increased talk of armed resistance
among antiregime elements. There has been, how-
ever, no recent evidence of concrete plots against
the regime.
Insurgency has continued to grow throughout
Burma's ethnic minority areas. In the Kachin State,

South Vietnam: The Viet Cong are again intensi-
fying military pressure on the government.
Viet Cong activity has risen sharply since the
first week of June. On 17 June, the Viet Cong mounted
an estimated battalion-sized attack against Duc Hoa,
a district capital in Hau Nghia Province just west of
Saigon. This attack is the first major Viet Cong mil-
itary action against a district capital since mid-April.
There have been ten other significant Viet Cong
attacks since 8 June. Most have been made in com-
pany strength. The majority have occurred in the
coastal plains of the north and in the delta area around
Saigon.
A total of 615 incidents of all kinds have been re-
ported for the second week in June. This is one third
more than the previous week, and is the highest num-
ber for any week since early March. Of these, 57
were armed attacks, more than double the previous
week and the largest number of such attacks since
mid-April.
As the monsoon season further curtails the mo-
bility of government forces, particularly air and road
movements, the Viet Con will probably become in-
creasingly aggressive.

NOTES
Venezuela: The student strike at the Central
University in Caracas, now in its second week, re-
mains completely effective. So far, the strike has
been peaceful. The Communists, however, have /
threatened violence against any who might attempt to 0
attend classes, Student leaders and university au-
thorities are under pressure to reach a compromise 25X1
settlement but the US Embassy doubts that the strike 0
can be ended without one side or the other sufferi
a "real defeat."

ne area of rebel activity has been
evacuated, and the number of rebel units operating
inside Angola has declined. Such reverses will heighten
the bickering among Angolan leaders, and will increase
pressure on Holden Roberto to accept military aid
from the Chinese Communists.
