*Dominican Republic: (Information as of 0430
EDT) The rebel government has collapsed, but the
loyalist military officers whose forces entered the
capital yesterday still face a last ditch resistance ef-
fort by extremists.
Resistance now seems restricted to Communist
and other extremist elements who had been armed by
rebel leaders. They have a number of strong points
in various parts of the city and machinegun emplace-
ments on rooftops. Late last night heavy gunfire was
still being heard in the downtown area and the US Em-
bassy expects street fighting to last several days.
Attempts yesterday by rebel military and civilian
leaders to initiate negotiations with the loyalist officers
failed. Jose Molina Urena, the rebel's provisional
president, has taken asylum in the Colombian embassy
along with other members of his government. The
principal rebel military officers are also understood
to be in asylum.
Army General Wessin, air force chief de los
Santos, and navy chief Rivera Caminero have formed
a joint operations staff, which is presently the closest
thing to a government in the country. They are likely
today to seek to organize a military junta representa-
tive of various military factions, but without any con-
cessions to the rebellious military officersa

*France: No new policy tack emerged from
President De Gaulle's TV address yesterday, but an
unwonted note of self-defense was apparent in his in-
sistent vindication of national independence,
His enumeration of the various political, economic
and technical links France has with many nations was
probably deliberately done with Soviet Foreign Min-
ister Gromyko's visit to Paris in mind. De Gaulle's
intention was to underline that the announcement yes-
terday of French-Soviet agreement to press for an
international conference on Cambodia did not imply a
reversal of alliances for Paris.
This theme was also meant to answer the criti-
cism that he has isolated France by weakening its ties
to NATO. He seems to have felt the need to reassure
the nation that he is neither Machiavellian nor inclined
to act purely out of malice toward the United States.
De Gaulle's announced intention to save France
from being "literally dissolved in a so-called integrated
Europe" was signalled last week when a close rein was
placed on cabinet ministers dealing with the European
Common Market. He seems to have realized recently
that successive advances toward economic integration
could eventually restrict his freedom of action in polit-
ical matters.

India-Pakistan: The Rann of Kutch is quiet except
for sporadic artillery dueling at long range.
Troops on both sides appear to have disengaged
after Monday's heavy fighting.
The British High Commissioners in New Delhi and
Karachi are making a strong effort to calm tempers,
but are finding the Pakistanis less receptive to their
initiative than the Indians. in addition, the British
Commonwealth Relations Secretary may be sent to
India from Malaysia to discuss the situation, and Gordon
Walker, who is returning from Southeast Asia, is to
arrive on Saturday
In a conversation with the US ambassador on
27 April, Pakistani. Foreign Secretary Aziz Ahmad ad-
mitted that US-supplied tanks which Pakistan moved
to the Kutch area last week have been used in the recent
fighting, as India has charged,
*The use of tanks, while probable, cannot be re-
garded as positively confirmed, however, as a result
of a subsequent denial by a senior foreign ministry
official who characterized Aziz Ahmad's remarks as
an assumption rather than a statement of fact.

Burma: General Ne Win is attempting forcibly to
suppress the growing Buddhist opposition to his regime
bovernment forces yesterday raided monasteries
in Mandalay, the center of Buddhist opposition, and
arrested at least 16 leading monks. Fourteen were
arrested in Rangoon
ilitant Buddhists have long charged that Ne Win's
socialist government is a "Communist" regime. Their
opposition has been rising sharply recently in reaction
against the government's pressure to tighten monastic
discipline and curb antigovernment agitation
CNe Win may be playing into the monks' hands.
For some weeks monks in the Mandalay region have
been attacking local headquarters of the government
party, evidently hoping to provoke the authorities into
taking repressive measures. The arrests will give
the Buddhists a cause around which to rally popular
support. Larger antigovernment demonstrations and
increased agitation are now likelyi-
C,lthough there is little immediate prospect that
the Buddhists alone can seriously endanger the govern-
ment, Ne Win may be forced into further action against
them.-,

Indonesia-Malaysia: An attack yesterday on a
British border post in western Sarawak by an estimated
100 Indonesian troops was repulsed by artillery fire.
This action is the largest Indonesian military operation
against Malaysian Borneo since last summer. It may
signal a general step-up in fighting along the Borneo
border. Deployment of Indonesian reinforcements in
the border area, under way since December, is largely
complete and reconnoitering of British and Malaysian
border positions in Sarawak and Sabah has increased.
