1. Cyprus-Turkey
? a. The situation on the
island remains extremely tense in
the aftermath of Monday's shooting
of two Greek officers and a Greek
Cypriot.
b. Greek Cypriots are swear-
ing vengeance, apparently not
satisfied with the 31 or. more
Turkish Cypriot hostages they have
already seized in retaliation. A
number of these may have been put
to death, and, if so, the whole
affair promises to escalate when
the Turkish Cypriots learn of it.
c. Greek Cypriots are con-
centrating in the Famagusta area
and we expect violence there this
weekend. Also in Limassol.
d. The Turks
are trying to infil-
trate more fighters into Famagusta
from Turkey.
f. Dissatisfaction over the
government's handling of the Cyprus
issue is widespread and a sense of
frustration is building up

The Chinese, 50X1
are insisting 50X1
on a written Soviet acknowledge-

the product of unjust treaties
imposed by Tsarist Russia.
d. The Soviets want to con-
fine the talks to settling a few
geographic points in dispute on the
existing frontier.

5. Laos
a. The rightists are still
pressing Souvanna to make sub-
stantial changes in his govern-
ment. Adept at doing nothing, he
has so far successfully resisted
despite their threats to re-form
a government on their own if he
does not act promptly.
e. There has been no im-
portant change in the military
situation. Nor do we yet have any
hint of what the Communists in-
tend to do, now that they have
Tha Thom, beyond improving their
military position before the rainy
season sets in.

E.
Jordan Waters So far,the Arab reaction to
Israel's tests,of the Jordan waters system has
been mild. Even in Syria, the story has
received routine handling. We expect the
Arabs to begin taking a stronger line, how-
-ever, as the tests continue. If there are no
hitches, the project goes into operation in
the summer.
F. Angola-Egypt Holden Roberto has stepped up
his requests
for military aid from Cairo.
