Congo f. Call-ups under the new conscription program got under way Monday when 1,400 youths registered for induction. This will send Turkish temperatures soaring both on Cyprus and on the mainland. g. The Justice Party has decided to go against Inonu in Friday's vote of confidence. It is the leading opposition party but often is unable to maintain discipline on these matters. a. As we get it from the Belgian ambassador, who called yes- terday to present Spaak's message, Kasavubu asserts that Adoula will stay on as prime minister with his government essentially unchanged until the national elections. b. The president did add, however, that there must be a general meeting of all Congolese leaders, including Tshombe and Gizenga, sometime prior to the elections. These are some six months off.

Laos d. This follows hard on the heels of his quick trip to Mali last week to put heads together with Keita, rumored as Kasavubu's choice to chair the Congolese round table. e. The Congolese Army, started south from Bukavu by Mobutu last week, has pulled up short of Uvira and was last reported looting towns on the way. The next outburst of trouble'could come from the Albert- ville area. b. Kong Le is trying to re- take several lost positions includ- ing Phou Kout hill, (Cont 'd) 50X1 50X1 50X1 For The President Only - TOD Secret Declassified in Part - Sanitized Copy Approved for Release 2015/07/24 : CIA-RDP79T00936A002700280001-7 Declassified in Part - Sanitized Copy Approved for Release 2015/07/24 : CIA-RDP79T00936A002700280001-7 d. There are signs that the Communists are now worried enough to beef up their defenses. New antiaircraft weapons were observed moving into Laos last week. e. General Khamouane, strong man of Phong Saly, has cut his ties with Souvanna and cast his lot with the Pathet Lao's tame neutral- sts under cplonel Deuane. 50X1 50X1 50X1 50X1 For The President Only - Top Secret Declassified in Part - Sanitized Copy Approved for Release 2015/07/24 : CIA-RDP79T00936A002700280001-7 Declassified in Part - Sanitized Copy Approved for Release 2015/07/24 : CIA-RDP79T00936A002700280001-7 NOTES A. USSR-East Germany The removal of elements of Soviet forces from Germany may be getting under way. 50X1 B. India-US The Shastri government, concerned about the implications of spiraling food prices, has asked the US for 500,000 tons of rice as quickly as possible, or, if this is not feasible, for a hard-currency loan which India could use to buy Thai or Burmese rice. C. Tanganyika-Zanzibar In what Charg?arlucci calls the "most significant move" since the union was formed, Nyerere has named Salim Rashid to a subministerial post in Dar-es- Salaam. Rashid has been the Communist eminence at the impressionable Karume's elbow ever since independence. The rub is that Rashid has yet to leave the island; in fact, no Zanzibari minister of union has taken up permanent resi- dence in Dar-es-Salaam. D. Argentina Peronist labor leaders, perhaps recognizing they lack backing,have decided to postpone implementing the next phase of their "action plan" until June 28. This had included nationwide, 24-hour "occupations" of all busi- ness and industrial establishments starting this week. The leaders insist they will not abandon the plan until their demands, as much political as economic, are met.

Colombia Though the Colombian Army has gained control of the Marquetalia enclave, the prob- lem of eliminating Tiro Fijo (Sure Shot) and his guerrilla followers remains. They have simply faded into the rough terrain nearby. The Colombian Army wants more helicopters, which were used to advantage in the Marquetalia operation. F. Panama Hit-and-run terrorist activity over the past two weeks has produced little damage and no loss of life. It could well be Arnulfo Arias' way of keeping alive his protest against the election of Robles. G. Haiti The word has gone out from Port-au- Prince that Duvalier will stage his president- for-life ceremonies next Sunday. I. South Vietnam The Viet Cong, which have been more active the last few days, last night hit the capital of Hau Nghia Province, just west of Saigon. Press reports say the Communists were repulsed with heavy losses.
