Muong Kheung, on the northern edge
of the Plaine des Jarres in the

ing on Muong Soui may be trying

2. Cyprus
i. In the highly charged
atmosphere of Vientiane, rumors
of another rightist putsch, of
major military drives on the
capital, and of threats against
Americans are circulating freely.
a. There seems to be more
than propaganda behind all the
hints recently from Greek Cypriot
leaders about an arms deal with
Moscow.

3. Congo
d. Large-scale Soviet mili-
tary aid would create sizable
international complications for
the USSR. The Greeks would dis-
approve as much as the Turks.
e. The buildup of small
arms in both Cypriot camps goes
on. 51 truck- 50X1
loads of arms arrived in Nicosia
Friday for the Greek Cypriots,
f. Shipments of arms and
men are also continuing to reach
the Turkish Cypriots from the main-
land. Their clandestine radio
is again showing interest in the
landing beaches and defenses around
Famagusta. We have no indications,
however, that Turkish intervention
is imminent
a. Leopoldville now seems
to have lost altogether what lit-
tle control it has had over the
situation in Kivu Central.
b. Defense Minister Anany
and acting commander Lundula re-
turned from the area Saturday with
news that ?the army was in mutiny,
or at least was refusing to fight.
Adoula
could count on only 3 or 4 men
his whole battalion there. He is
now replacing them with para-
commandos.

c. UN commanders, who think
they can clean up the mess in
short order, are ready to send in
a Nigerian unit if Leopoldville
decides to ask for help. Six US
T-28 aircraft will arrive Wednes-
day to strengthen Adoula's hand.
a grim picture of conditions
in Kivu, with some possibility
that the provincial capital of
Bukavu may go the way of Uvira,
which recently fell to the rebels.
a. Khanh's government now
?is bracing for trouble from Catho-
lic groups who are about to start
campaigning for equality and pro-
tection against the militant Bud-
dhists.
b. Some Catholics are look-
ing to Buddha's birthday on Tues-
day as an occasion for demonstra-
tions. The more extreme Buddhist
elements, who were threatening to
demonstrate themselves earlier
this month, probably would not
be averse to shedding a little
blood for the cause.

c. Khanh has tried to take
a balanced line on religious issues,
but many Catholics still fear re-
taliation for alleged sins of the
Diem regime. They, also are con-
vinced that the Communists are
behind the recent infighting
between militant and moderate
Buddhists.
d. The government has placed
several military units on alert
this week

5. Cuba
a. High-altitude photog-
raphy taken on Friday and Satur-
day shows that nearly all armored
units have been removed from
several major military camps in
eastern Cuba and in the Havana
area. They probably have been
sent to defensive positions along
the coast.
b. Three surface-to-air
and one coastal defense missile
sites have been evacuated, pre-
sumably because they were vulner-
able to raids from the sea.

c. Heavy patrol traffic in
the wake of the alert has led to
some confusion. Naval patrol boats
have been chasing other Cuban
craft mistaken for invaders, and
we now know of two Cuban patrol
planes shot down by he defenders.

NOTES
South Korea There were more student demon-
strations in Seoul today. Ambassador Berger
reports the government "rapidly moving toward
internal and external crisis" of major pro-
portions. It now appears that Kim Chong-pil
was behind the paratroop episode,
which seems to have
situation.

B. British Guiana No serious racial violence
has occurred since the state of emergency was
declared Friday. Reinforcements from London
have arrived. Jagan has made a half-hearted
appeal for order, but we doubt he will abandon
his efforts to make elections this year im-
possible.
. UK-USSR
the $140 million
.worth of contracts with Britain's Imperial
Chemical Industries recently announced will
be followed by even larger ones with the rival
synthetic fibers concern of Courtaulds.
D. Libya Rumor has it in Tripoli that Prime
Minister Muntassir is on the way out. The
King is unhappy because Muntassir has too
often bowed to public pressure on the base
issue. This does not mean, however, that a
successor would by any less vulnerable to
such pressures.
