1. Kashmir
The crisis shows no sign of easing
and may well worsen this week-end.
Pakistani forces have resumed their
drive in southern Kashmir. They, are now
some 12 miles into Indian territory and
15 miles from the-Akhnur-Poonch highway,,
If they cut the road, the Indians,
who are already under great pressure to
strike back for prestige purposes, may
be forced to-do so in order to extricate
their forces farther north along the
ceasefire line.
The Indian response so far, however,
has been limited. They are resisting
the Pakistani attack and have thrown air-
craft into the counteraction. Pakistan
claims that some of them intruded into
Pakistani air space.
Neither side gives much sign of a
disposition to compromise. U Thant says
that. the Pakistanis-refused to assure
him they would stop fighting, while the
-Indians replied they would only if Paki-
Stan;:would.
Kashmir developments-were-probably
/on the table-when the Pakistan foreign
minister met with the Chinese Communist
foreign minister in Karachi today. -
Peking's man. was passing through on his
way to-Africa./

2. Great Britain
3. France
. Indonesia
5. Dominican Republic
London is taking the position that
there is an urgent need to bring the
confrontation between Malaysia and Indo-
nesia to an end.
British officials at the four-party
(US, Australia, New Zealand, and Britain)
talks on the implications of Singapore's
independence declared yesterday there
was little point for Britain to "soldier
on." Therefore, they are toying with
the idea of an indirect overture to In-
donesia, using the possible withdrawal
of British troops from Borneo as bait.
It is not clear whether this is
anything more than a negotiating tactic
to encourage other participants in the
talks to pick up a larger piece of the
action.
The French Foreign Ministry says
that Polish Premier Cyrankiewiez will
be given a "fine reception" by De Gaulle
when he visits Paris next week. The
show will exceed that given the Rumanian
prime minister last year, since De Gaulle
considers Poland more important.
Sukarno seems to be planning a
lengthy foreign tour which would in-
clude stops in Italy, Spain, and Mexico.
Willingness to embark on such
a tour would indicate that he has over-
come the domestic difficulties ?that led
him to cut short an earlier trip.
Garcia Godoy plans to announce his
cabinet tonight. He does not intend to
name a minister for the armed forces until
General Wessin has been taken care of, al-
though how this will be accomplished is not
known. The process of disarming the rebels
is supposed to get under way today. It
will not be made easier by Caamano's public
reference yesterday to "fighting on" or by
declarations from the Communists that they
will not comply.

6. Vietnam
there 50X1
are 1,500 and perhaps as many as 2,500
Soviet military personnel in North Viet-
nam now. The bulk of them are probably
in the surface-to-air missile units,
which very likely are still fully manned
by Soviets.
we expect the number of Soviet
air defense training.and support personnel
to increase over the,nextseveral months
even as North Vietnamese are trained to
take. over the missiles.
