1. Vietnam

3. Cuba
50X1
Premier Quat is talking again of
his intent to try to keep the generals
in line, and away from each others
throats, through the device of a reor-
ganization of command lines at the top.
He hopes eventually to abolish the Armed
Forces Council as a rival authority. De-
pending on whom he hopes to put where,
he could run into more trouble.
There has been talk--but no hard
evidence--from Havana of the formation
of a volunteer Cuban or Latin American
50X1
unit for Vietnam.r

4. Cyprus
5. Laos
6. USSR
Two nights last week, several air-
craft "from the east"--probably North
Vietnam--were observed circling over
Communist postions near Na Khang and
dropping supplies. (See map.)
It is too early to determine whether
this was a one-shot operation to support
Communist units trying to gain control
of disputed portions of Route 6 or
whether it means that the Communists,
hurting from air strikes and facing the
rainy season, are undertaking a more
sustained aerial supply effort.
A Soviet lunar probe launched Sat-
urday morning failed to reach its park-
ing orbit,/
/ The
pattern of the last seven Soviet attempts
has suggested a sophisticated mission for
their lunar probe--possibly a soft land-
ing of an instrument package or a probe
in orbit along the moon's shadow line.
Unless the Soviets revise their goals,
next November would appear to be their
next o..ortunit .

NOTE
The Brief for 10 April reported a
conversafic7rin Ankara between Secretary
Rusk and the Turkish Foreign Minister
who said Turkey could not promise to con-
sult NATO before any military action over
Cyprus. The conversation actually took
place in Tehran during the CENTO sessions.
