1. Laos
?a. Souvanna has just about
given up any hope of working out
a satisfactory compromise with
the Communists.
b.)
he roasted
both the North Vietnamese and the
Chinese, and the Soviets and Poles
as well, for putting him in such
desperate straits. He was con-
vinced that "force alone" would
make them come around.
d. For their part, the Com-
munists are beginning to make con-
ciliatory noises now that their
bargaining position has been
strengthened. Both Souphannouvong
and a Pathet Lao spokesman broad-
casting from Peiping yesterday
expressed interest in peaceful
negotiations.
e. The military situation
is not as clear as it might be.
Kong Le seems to be moving his
forces farther back into the hills
surrounding the Plaine des Jarres.

2. Cyprus
f. The exposed outposts of
Muong Kheung and Muong Soui are
coming under increased Communist
pressure.
Muong Soui is
the last major obstacle to a
linkup of Pathet Lao forces on
the Plaine and others in the
reaion farther west.
a. Big talk from Greek
Cypriot leaders about building up
their military force is not help-
ing to lower the tension.
b. They have announced they
are going to merge the police
and gendarmerie and enact a
conscription law.
c. They also say they are
working on arms deals with
"various countries." Their shop-
ping list includes bombers,
fighters, torpedo boats, and ,
heavy arms. The Greek Cypriots
have been claiming since January
that the bloc would be willing
to help.

3. USSR
e. The word is out of-
ficially now that only 17 of 91
Turkish hostages taken since late
March are in government hands. .
This news from UN official's could
be all that is. needed to set off
a new vendetta.

arms is due to arrive in Cuba
b. While we cannot, be. sure
what the large-hatch ship is
carrying, it looks like a routine
military delivery, probably in-
cluding equipment needed.for
maintenance and modernization.

NOTES
A. Congo 'Security in several provinces has
deteriorated badly as 4 result of more inten-
sive rebel operations. Leopoldville's army
,lacks both the leadership and logistical
support ?needed to put down the uprisings.
General Mobutu'S extended absence on tour in
Europe and his disinclination to return home
do not help.

E. USSR-Iraq Iraqi defense officials expect
soon to close an ATMS deal with Moscow
F. British Guiana -Trinidad Prime Minister
Williams' attempt at mediating the differences
between Guiana's politicians has fizzled,
to no one's great surprise. His coalition
proposal held little appeal for Jagan's
opponents, who have high hopes of winning
Sandys' proportional elections. Jagan now
must come up with some new tactic, possibly
stepped-up terrorism., to delay the voting.
