1. Congo
50X1
a. The rebels have made an-
other ominous threat to the safety
of American and European hostages.
d. The government capture of
Uvira yesterday will virtually seal
off Burundi and block Chinese and
other aid to the rebels.
e. The US consul reports
rumors that rebels are still near
Bukavu in large numbers. Air recon-
naissance, however, has turned up
no evidence to support this.
f. Tshombe is still under
detention in Cairo. The UAR ambas-
sador in Leopoldville says that
Nasir's orders are that Tshombe
will not be allowed to leave until
UAR diplomats are evacuated to
Brazzaville.

50X1
g. Our Cairo embassy reports
that one of Tshombe's men has left
there for the Congo to persuade
Kasavubu to release the UAR and
Algerian diplomats.
a. The Viet Cong may be con-
centrating for an attack on a
provincial capital near the Cam-
bodian border.
d. The Viet Cong may make
the effort for its psychological
and propaganda impact. It would
be the first such attack in force
against a provincial captial in
almost three years.

3. Iraq-Syria
50X1
e. members of the
High National Council are reported
to agree that General Minh should
stay on as ehief of state in the
new civilian government. They indi-
cate no choice as yet for premier,
but they are agreed that General
Khanh must go.
f. They are apparently not
in agreement as to what to do if
Khanh refuses to step down and have
expressed concern that the US may
continue to support him.
g. The Khanh regime has insti-
tuted its new controls over Mekong
River traffic to Cambodia. Sihanouk's
reaction should be audible soon.
He gets back from Peiping today.

4. Cyprus
a. UN mediator Gab-Plaza
apparently sees very little light
at the end of the tunnel.
b. He has told Ambassador
Belcher that he thinks Greek Cyp-
riot inflexibility has increased
with Soviet support. He also thinks
Makarios will come back from Cairo
with a strengthened hand.

5. Bolivia
c. Galo-Plaza believes the
Turks are losing ground and must
compromise more. A sovereign or
leased base is unattainable, he
says, although a NATO base is still
possible. He wants US help in con-
vincing Ankara of this.
d. Although Gab-Plaza thinks
enosis is the best solution, he
does not believe the UN can recom-
mend dissolution of a member state.
He predicts that the General Assembly
will give its support to self-gov-
ernment and majority rule.
a. Vice President Barrientos
appears to be calling for a show-
down with President Paz on a clari-
fication of the vice presidential
role.
b. Bitter public exchanges
are being made, with Barrientos
implying he may use military sup-
port against Paz.

NOTES
A. USSR - North Vietnam
a Soviet transport plane has been
scheduled to fly from the USSR to North Vietnam.
B. OPEC The Organization of Petroleum Exporting
Countries has agreed on a position that appears
to offer a good chance for a settlement of
their two-year-old dispute with the major inter-
national oil companies. In a conference in
Beirut which ended early this week, the produc-
ing countries agreed to a new formula for com-
puting the companies' payments. The proposal
will be presented to several companies in bi-
lateral talks beginning 14 October in London.
C. Cambodia - Communist China The communique
ending Sihanouk's visit to Peiping contained
no specifics on promised Chinese economic and
military aid to Cambodia.)
