The feelers it put out after the conclusion of the test- ban treaty were received coldly by some of the fraternal parties. They felt such a meeting could only make matters worse with the Chinese, £f. Indeed, Peiping saw this to be Moscow's purpose, and when the idea failed to take hold,the Chinese took it to be a setback for Khrushchev personally. g.

Czech President Novotny returned from Moscow on Thursday after signing a renewal (for another 20 years) of the treaty of friend- ship and mutual assistance. ‘b.

6. South Vietnam a. The first suicide by burn- ing to occur under the new regime was witnessed today by bystanders at a crowded intersection in Saigon | where a young girl went up in flames. b. A note she left behind said she was protesting the war of Viet- namese against Vietnamese. At the intersection are three villas which house the ICC delegations, c. There were no Buddhist overtones. d. Some think the Viet Cong encouraged her, but if they did, they did not write her script. They would have said it is the Americans who are fighting the Vietnamese. . For The President Only - Top Secret
