1 Venezuela a _ The country 1 5 six presiden-
tial candidates have swung into the
home stretch of their campaigns_
So have the terrorists, who are still
trying bard to sabotage next Sunday S
vote
b, There is little doubt that
the terrorist effort has all-out
Cuban support Castro looks on
Venezuela as his prime target in
Latin America and would do everything
in his power to prevent President
Betancourt from finishing his term,
So far the terrorists have
tried to intimidate the candidates
by barassing political rallies, bomb-
ing their party beadquarters in
various cities
9
and threatening them
with assassination_ They have tried
to scare voters from the polls by
creating a general atmosphere of law-
lessness , Kidnappings = like the one
yesterday morning of Colonel Chenault,
are part of the pattern _
d The government counterattack
is under the personal direction of
Betancourt , who 16 a6 determined to
finish out his term and turn over
power to a freely-elected successor
as Castro is to prevent this,

Yesterday it was announced
that the carrying of firearms by
anyone outside the security forces
was forbidden until the elections
are over
f Some 3 , 000 reservists have
been called up to protect the polls .
Leaves are being cancelled and al1
security forces are maintaining a
high state of alert.
2 , South Vietnam a, We now bave a fuller ac-
count from official US sources of
tbe Viet Cong attack on two mountain
villages mentioned in Tuesday S
Checklist
b. This account makes it clear
that the earlier press versions
which spoke of
1,000 missing Vii_
lagers , were highly colored_
Our present information
is that the attack, in company
strength, was successfully repulsed.
The Viet Cong suffered some 30 cas-
ualties; government losses were six
killed, three wounded and 39 missing.

d, As 1s usual in these cases
the villagers began to trickle back
once the Viet Cong left_
This episode aside
)
we see
a number of indications that the
Communists will try to sustain the
higher level of military activity
they have kept up since the coup.
f The Communist radio has
called for more attacks in an effort
to destroy strategic hamlets and
"develop" Viet Cong forces _ In sup-
port of this, Viet Cong communica_
tions traffic has been unusually
heavy and has involved 2 large vol -
ume of high priority traffic and
special alert patterns_
(Includes INTERCEPTS)
3 _ Israel a 0 We have some reason to be _
lieve that the Israelis are develop-
ing a surface-to-surface missile 0f
their own _
b, A reliable clandestine
source says that an Israeli repre-
sentative is trying to OS stable
platforms for the inertial guidance
system of a missile with 8 range of
300-350 miles He wanted delivery
in six to twelve months . There have
been several earlier reports that

buy
==================================================
Page 8
==================================================
Israel is buying missile components
in the US and England.
C We think this missile pro-
gram is independent of another
Israeli venture: Tel Aviv's con-
tract with a French firm, Marcel
Dassault for the development of a
system which will be able to deliver
a 1,600-pound warhead to a maximum
range of 300 miles
44 USSR-India a , Moscow has promised the
Indians to ship the equipment for
one surface-to-air (SAM) training
site' early next month.
b The Soviets had agreed to
provide eight SAM sites
0
The rest
will probably not be sent until the
Indians have learned to handle the
equipment about a year from now _
C As we noted last Sunday ,
thbere are some Indians who have
doubts about the Soviet willingness
to live up to the letter of their
military a1d agreenents with New
Delhi
(Cont 'd)

de They call into question
especially the contract for the
Soviets to set up in India 2
facllity
to assemble MIG fighters--an enter-
prise which bas appeared somewhat
impractical from the beginning.
e We do note, however that
Soviet aircraft Specialists Working
on the project were still in New
Delhi in early November
(INTERCEPTS)
5_ Burna a _ Ne Win has followed up his
action in breaking off talks with
the Burmese Communists by arresting
over 700 of their number
b. Ne Win bad been trying to
lure the faction-ridden Communists
into a "national front fT However
he found the demands of the Commu-
nist negotiators=
1
some of whom had
only just returned from long exile
in Peiping, to be impossible.
This will probably lead to
renewed fighting between the army
and Communist guerrillas in the hills.
d More trouble can a1s0 be
expected from the rebellious ethnic
minorities like the Karens and the

Kachins , whose demands for greater
autonomy have been rejected in Ran-
goon _
e US officials on the spot
doubt that the army hobbled by poor
leadership and its many political
responsibilities will be any more
effective In
deaiing
with the prob-
Iem this time than in past anti-
Insurgency campaigns _
6_ Cambodia a _ Sihanouk has signed an ac -
cord setting up regular air service
between Cambodia and Communist China
A sinilar agreement with Hanoi is
In the works
b These lines are significant
largely as gestures by Peiping and
Hanoi to bolster Slhanouk S sense
of importance_ Neither would be a
paying proposition commercially and
both could flounder before the first
paying passenger enplanes unless
rights to overfly Laos can be obtained,
(Includes INTERCEPTS)
7 Greece a , It looks more and more as
If Papandreou , who squeaked through
to a narrow upset: victory over ex-
premier Karamanlis in the 3 November
elections _ will not be able to forn
a government _
(Cont d)

==================================================
Page 12
==================================================
b. His party does not have a
parliamentary majority, So he needs
support from either Karamanlis
party on the right or from the Com-
munists _ The military has apparently
been pressing Karamanlis to withhold
that support He does not need much
urging.
C _ The military bas also let
it be known that it would consider
Papandreou ' s acceptance of Communist
support as sufficient reason for 2
coup d 'etat
d, In /addition to this military
string-pulling; the royal family is
also meddling--not for the first
time _ Should Papandreou fail to
form a government the palace intends
to pass the mandate to Karamanlis ,
believing that he too would fail
This would then open the
way , the palace calculates, for
a
compromise premier more amenable to
palace influence
8 . Brazil a , President Goulart and his
opponents are keeping political ten-
sions In Braz1l high.

b. Comments by Goulart, that
"social disaster M1 1s sure if his
program is not passed soon, have drawn
Sharp rejoinders from moderate and
conservative figures and have fed
rightist coup 'plotting.
C strains are also growing in
the military following the arrest
of a young officer who refused last
month to execute an order to arrest
Governor Lacerda , a leading conserva-
tive spokesman and likely presidential
candidate_

NOTES
A USSR Simultaneous activity this morning on the
Tyuratam missile test range satellite tracking nets
and Soviet space support Ships in the Atlentic prob-
ably represented
an attempt to launch an unmanned
earth satellite The launch apparently failed on
the pad or was cancelled at the last moment It
may be tried again soon , (INTERCEPTS)
B. Rumania-US Rumanian officials are about to award
2 TS Tirm, Ferguson and -Company of Cleveland, Ohio ,
a 832 miliion contract to help build the huge Galati
steel plant The Rumanians are pressing ahead with
this project in the face of Soviet efforts to dis-
courage it in various ways_ most importantly by re-
fusing to underwrite the schene to any substantial
degree _
Turkey The New Turkey Party has followed the
peasant Party in withdrawing from the present three_
party coalition government _ This means that the
coalition bas to all intents and purposes collapsed ,
even though no formal action will be taken until
Prime Minister Inonu returns from Washington this
weekend .
D, Thailand The Thai doctors attending Sarit
now ad-
Mit Tor the first time that the Prime Minister is in
critical condition Our doctor agrees with this
prognosis US officials in Bangkok believe that the
most l1kely successor would be Thanom Kittikachorn,
now deputy prime minister and minister of defense_
Tbanom is not likely to last long, however , since he
is neither a strong personality nor a figure of great
weight in the military hierarchy

Aa USSR-Congo As a further token of the withdrawal
of SovTet diplomats we have noted that the Soviet
diplomatic communications link between Moscow and
Leopoldville was shut down last Saturday _ (INTER _
