...Along the 4,500-mile Sino-Soviet frontier, where both sides have been feverishly building up forces since bloody Ussuri River clashes earlier this year, tensions relax quickly. Moscow withdraws many of the thousands of men who guard Central Asia and the Soviet Far East. The Chinese start to redeploy forces dug in along the frontier, moving them into political and civic action work inside China to help heal the wounds caused by Chairman Mao Tse-tung's Cultural Revolution. The Soviets resume a degree of aid to China, mainly in industrial credits, but offer no assistance to China...

To pressure Diem into doing these things, the U.S. has begun withholding certain kinds of aid. For one thing, Washington has suspended part of a $350,000 monthly subsidy to the elite, 2,000-member Special Forces, who raided Buddhist pagodas last August...
