Congo a. Bands of tribal rebels in North Katanga have frightened the authorities in Kamina into abandon- ing the town and may already have ?occupied it. b. The fate of the large Congolese Army installation nearby is not known. c. The loss of Kamina would open the way to the key mining areas around Jadotville and Kolwezi, less than 150 miles to the south. d. Tshombe will doubtless do everything he can to keep his home ground out of rebel hands. This he may be able to do if the local tribes remain loyal to him and if he has time to get his former gen- darmes back in the field with white mercenary officers. e. There is good reason to believe that the new rebel pocket in Mai-Ndombe is being nourished from across the river in the Braz- zaville Congo/ 50X1 50X1 50X1 r__ C----a Declassified in Part - Sanitized Copy Approved for Release 2015/07/24 : CIA-RDP79T00936A002900170001-7 Declassified in Part - Sanitized Copy Approved for Release 2015/07/24 : CIA-RDP79T00936A002900170001-7 2. Cyprus a. It is not yet clear what effect Makarios' slighting state- ments about "Self-appointed mediators" will have on the Geneva talks. Papandreou has deplored the archbishop's leak but Ankara has yet to be heard from. e. The island itself remains quiet. UN forces are beginning to chafe at the obstructions thrown in their way by the Greek Cypriots, especially in Limassol./ C-- TL- T....

India 4. France a. India's food crisis is likely to get worse before it gets better. b. The new measures intro- duced by New Delhi in the past few weeks to build up basic grain stocks and improve distribution will not take affect before late August. c. The year's major rice crop will start to hit rural markets at ?about the same time and urban mar- kets a short time later. d. Meanwhile, the protest demonstrations and food riots, which are already beginning, may well spread, but we expect that the gov- ernment will be able to control them. 50X1 r r? ? _I ? ??-??

As expected, the Soviets have announced a new series of missile firings to the Pacific, which will last until 30 December. , c. We expect the tests to include tests of the SS-9 and SS-10 missiles .now under development. The Soviets may also use the opportunity for extended range tests 50X1 50X2 50X1 50X1 50X1 50X1 50X1 _ -rL _ rs__ _ ,I..- Declassified in Part - Sanitized Copy Approved for Release 2015/07/24 : CIA-RDP79T00936A002900170001-7 Declassified in Part - Sanitized Copy Approved for Release 2015/07/24 : CIA-RDP79T00936A002900170001-7 6.

After several months of sticking fairly close to the bor- der, Indonesian guerrillas extend their activities deeper inside Malaysian Borneo. 50X1 50X1 50X1 50X1 50X1 50X1 50X1 e ?rL n ? J ,_L r..

Thailand Police and armed forces are still on the alert, and Bangkok is alive with coup rumors. One version is that a coup was plan- ned for last night but aborted for reasons as yet unknown. Prime Minister Thanom says that he has the situation under control. C. Tanganyika - Communist China: Tangan- yika has been dickering with Peiping for mili- tary help. 50X1 50X1 50X1 50X1 50X1 brought over from Zanzibar for the same period to serve in another part of Tanganyika. D. Italy - MLF / 50X1 the four parties to the Moro coalition have agreed in principle that Italy should participate in a seaborne MLF. The government does not wish to make this stand public now, however, probably be- cause it wants first to see which way the British go. (Cont'd) C- TL "-L. T......

Burma Ambassador Byroade has had his first meeting with Ne Win in ten months, and found the general as unbending and xenophobic as ever. The chief point made by the Burmese leader was that Burma was determined to remain completely aloof from developments in South- east Asia. He said that he had spoken in a similar vein to Chou En-lai. While Byroade feels we can live with this narrow neutralism, he is not convinced that Ne Win can make the grade internally. F. Laos ?The government is now claiming that Operation Triangle has succeeded in,clearing ? the Pathet Lao from the whole length of the road between Vientiane and Luang Prabang. ? The Com- munists have simply faded into the nearby hills and a countermove could come at any time. c-- TL- oL.. f-N-1., Declassified in Part - Sanitized Copy Approved for Release 2015/07/24 : CIA-RDP79T00936A002900170001-7
