Air Strikes in North Vietnam: Air strikes re-
sumed on 18 May with US Navy aircraft severely
damaging a new POL storage site nearing completion
at Phu Qui, some 40 miles northwest of Vinho
Pilots report that the nine large POL tanks at the
installation were all damaged, most of them severely.
A barracks area at the site was also damaged severely
and left burning. No aircraft were lost.
Communist Political Developments: Chinese
Communist propaganda continues to play up the pos-
sibility that the US will initiate air attacks on China
itself. People's Daily on 18 May carried another
bitterly worded denunciation of President Johnson's
13 May speech, claiming for the first time that the
real US aim was to create a pretext to bomb China.
Pointing out that all US efforts to bring about negotia-
tions had failed, Peiping argued that "Johnson is now
attempting to find a solution" by threatening the Chi-
nese people.
The North Vietnamese Foreign Ministry on 18
May issued a formal statement terming the "tempo-
rary" suspension of air strikes a trick designed to
hoodwink world public opinion about the "so-called US
good will for peace." Actually, according to Hanoi,
the suspension is an attempt to pave the way for "new
US acts of war." The statement went on to emphasize
the continued US military buildup in Vietnam. It re-
iterated the four point proposal of the DRV govern-
ment for the settlement of the Vietnam question.
The War in South Vietnam: Six South Vietnamese
battalions reportedly were airlifted yesterday by US

India-Pakistan: The two sides continue to bicker
over terms for a cease-fire in the Rann of Kutch, and
the danger of an incident elsewhere along their borders
remains.
With British efforts to formulate a cease-fire agree-
ment bogged down in quibbling, London is considering
bluntly asking Rawalpindi and New Delhi whether the
two still want the UK to continue its good offices
Front line units of both armies remain under strict
orders not to do anything that might provoke a strong
counteraction. The Indian defense minister
indicated that he believes the worst o me crisis
is pad, and that India's "show of force" had brought
home to Pakistan the fact "that India has the will and
capacity to respond."
Nevertheless, opposing units remain separated by
only a few hundred yards along sections of the border
of northern West Pakistan, and any incidents could
quickly revive the dangerously charged atmosphere
of two weeks ago.
On 12 May the personal orders of Pakistani Presi-
dent Ayub apparently averted such an incident. An
Indian Canberra reconnaissance bomber was allowed
to complete its mission over the Lahore area while
under surveillance of Pakistani fighter aircraft.
Rawalpindi, however, has charged India with additional
overflights and has warned that it will shoot or force
down any future intruders.

South Africa: he Verwoerd government apparently
is imposing a new racial restriction on US use of various
facilities in South Africj
[Early this month South Africa demanded that only
all-white crews be used on flights from the US carrier
Independence to two Capetown airfields. Foreign
Minister Muller said that in the future American groups
would be required to observe South African rules and
customs when they used local facilities. Muller later
indicated that this condition applied to satellite track-
ing stations

he US uses South African ports and airfields in
connection with its three satellite tracking stations
.and one missile telemetry range station in the country.
It has also been using South African airports for Air
Force search and rescue teams in conjunction with
space flight
CThe new condition apparently was personally dic-
tated by Prime Minister Verwoerd, but the motive is
not clear. Muller connected the decision with the
failure of the US Embassy to observe "social separa-
tion" in its diplomatic receptions.
There are other indications, however, that Ver-
woer may be adopting a tougher posture for domestic
political reasons. National elections are expected

NOTES

25X1
Communist China: The Chinese Communists are
apparently developing an out-of -area, capability for
their submarine fleet. What appears to be a sub-
marine tender--the first of its kind in the Chinese
Navy--was photographed at sea near Choushan Island
southeast of Shanghai in late April. It was probably
operating in conjunction with a W-class submarine.
There is some evidence the tender was built at
Shanghai before mid-1964.
British Guiana: LThe shaky coalition government
of Premier Forbes Burnham's People's National
Congress (PNC), and Minister of Finance Peter
D'Aguiar's United Force (UF) is again showing signs
of internal strain, this time over the issue of in e-
endence,
D uiar disapproves of a Burnham plan to
move for a constitutional conference in September
and to set a deadline for independence. D'Aguiar
thinks Burnham would, be acting prematurely and has
indicated an intention to oppose any move on the in-
dependence question that he has not cleared in ad-
Denmark-EEC: he Common Market appears
worried by recent Danish threats to raise tariffs on
automobiles produced in EEC countries, possibly in
retaliation for the damage the EEC's policies have done
to Danish farm exports. The Danish threats have
particularly upset the West Germans, and are re-
portedly linked to an EEC Council decision last week
to undertake a comprehensive study of EEC-Danish
trade relations. The decision reflects greater EEC
recognition of the need to consider the external im-
pact of its policies, but there is a possibility that
the projected study could encourage interest in prefer-
ential or discriminator remedies.
