The Stanleyville rebels claimed to,-
day they had moved the hostages out of
the city as Van Der Walle's column Went,
forward, meeting little or no resistance.
Tshombe has publicly warned the Belgians
that their rescue mission must first be
cleared with him.
The future of the Moro government
may be decided in nationwide muriicipal
elections this weekend. A cabinet cri-
sis could follow if his socialist coali-
tion partners, who appear to be in trou-
ble, lose heavily and decide to pull
out.
, Embassy Paris reports that the
Gaullists are switching tactics on the
MLF, and will lay off further public at-
tacks for the time being. They believe
the new British proposals have bought
them some time.
The number of African states 'recog-
nizing Peiping has recently reached
seventeen, and Chad, Mauretania, and
Ethiopia appear on the brink.
Annex 2 discusses the Chinese represen-
tation issue.

ANNEX 1
Military Developments in South China
Aerial photog-
raphy of 14 November shows more than 300 vehicles,
including earth-moving equipment, in the area. Pre-
liminary measurements of the runway suggest that
when completed it will be more than 9,000 feet
long. Numerous barracks and support buildings are
scattered throughout the project. Approximately
92 antiaircraft artillery (AAA) revetments, 87 of
them occupied, have been identified.

ANNEX 2
Chinese Representation in the UN
It now appears that a resolution calling for
the seating of Peiping and the removal of National-
ist China from the UN will for the first time come
close to or possibly even achieve a simple majority
vote in the Assembly.
Whether Peiping actually attains a majority Con-
tinues to hinge in large part on the decisions of only
a few African and Middle Eastern countries. Congo
Brazzaville, the Central African Republic, Kenya,
and Zambia seem certain to add new votes to Peiping's
total. Dahomey is probably also now in Communist
China's column. Cyprus, Malaysia, Sierre Leone,
Malawi, Malta, Chad, Senegal, and perhaps a few
other West African and some Arab states are still
uncertain and presumably open to persuasion.
The problem of maintaining the "important ques-
tion" ruling is now receiving prime consideration.
In 1961 the General Assembly voted 61 to 34 to con-
sider the Chinese representation issue an "important
question," thereby requiring a two-thirds vote to
seat Peiping. In the US view, this ruling stands
unless formally reversed by a subsequent vote in
the Assembly, but should the Assembly decide to
reconsider, the ruling could presumably be over-
turned by a simple majority.
It appears certain that some form of resolution
will have to be passed reaffirming the 1961 ruling.
Some countries which plan to vote for Communist China
are apparently willing to uphold the two-thirds re-
quirement should that be put to a vote.
Even with two-thirds rule in force, Chiang Kai-shek
might withdraw from the UN, if Peiping should gain
the votes of a simple majority.
