Congo a. There has been little change in the military situation. b. Rebels still threaten Coquilhatville. Since the Congo River itself is the most direct avenue for any further advance toward Leopoldville--430 miles down- river--plans are now being con- sidered for removing from Coquil- hatville all boats useful to the rebels. c. The OAU session in Addis Ababa yesterday still had not settled down to a hard search for ways and means, although many have been proposed. Some form of com- mission to investigate Congo (Leopoldville) relations with Congo (Brazzaville) and with Burundi still seems a likely result; if radical Africans get their way, the commission would also look in- to Congolese internal affairs.

Iraq 6. Cyprus d. According to the press, a Tshombe recruiting agent in South Africa told mercenary re- cruits in Johannesburg that all flights to the Congo had been can- celed "indefinitely."( a.

The Cypriot government is sending Minister of Commerce and Industry Araouzos to Moscow this week rather than Foreign Minister Kyprianou. Whether this represents a bow to Athens'request that a lesser figure make the trip to Moscow is not clear; Kyprianou is going to New York and the UN. d. The two British military bases may become a stumbling block in negotiations. Makarios, in an interview Saturday, said the bases would have to be discussed before enosis. TL..
