LATE ITEM--CONGO
50X1
(The following is a summary of the situation in Katanga, based on
press reports as of 0800 this morning. 50X1
50X1
The UN moved against the Katangan government at 0400 local time
this morning. Its forces now apparently hold most strategic centers.
There was heavy fighting in Elizabethville, however, until Gurkhas
and Swedes broke the main center of Katangan resistance around the
main post office. Some reports say action in Elizabethville is still
going on, and an Irish company is said to be surrounded at Jadotville.
Tshombe went into hiding outside Elizabethville and may by now
have escaped into Rhodesia, where Munongo and other Katangan ministers
are rumored to have fled.
Adoula has announced that Katanga has been reunited with the
central government, and has sent a "high commissioner" to Elizabethville.
The UN move came after a day of utmost confusion. There had been
great tension between the UN and Katangan forces-in Elizabethville,
with the latter anticipating either that the UN would attempt to
disarm them'or would help central government forces to move in.
Tshombe refused to go to Leopoldville to meet Hammarkjold (he arrives
today), apparently coupledwith serious incidents in the city,
evidently precipitated todays action. The UN claims it acted in
order to prevent war between Leopoldville and Elizabethville forces.

believe the assassination attem150X1
had the backing of highly placed ..military
officials. 50X1
50X1
The scope of guerrilla attacks in
the first ten days of this month
shows these forces are now larger,
better organized and better equipped
than before, probably because earlier 50X1
Communist successes in adjacent areas
of Laos have given the guerillas
virtually unimpeded communications
with North Vietnam. South Viet-
namese forces in the area have also
improved, and are reacting vigorously.

3. Afghanistan-Pakistan
problem

50X1
Ambassador Rountree states that "border
incidents of minor to serious proportions
are possible" and points to the possibility
that "the USSR may seek-to exploit the
present situation by encouraging or other-
wise supporting hostile actions against
Pakistan." Ambassador Byroade also
comments that "a trouble spot may be
created here far beyond the importance
of the local Pakistan-Afghan feud."
Afghan Prime Minister Daud; however,
emphasized to Byroade yesterday his
desire that American aid and goodwill
continue, which leads Byroade to believe
the Afghan motive is still to induce
the US to bring strong pressure on
Ayub. 50X1
