2. Communist China
3. Rhodesia
Signs are growing that a behind-
the-scenes power struggle among Chinese
leaders is under way.
Another crisis is brewing over Zam-
bia's policy toward the jointly owned
Rhodesian-Zambian railway system. Kaunda
is refusing to meet financial demands
levied by Rhodesia, and the latter could
take counteraction that might cost Zam-
bia the use of Rhodesian rail lines
long before alternative routes to sus-
tain the Zambian economy are available.

4. Arab States
5. Yemen
The standard hostile Arab comment
is already flowing in on this morning's
announcement that the US will sell sub-
sonic jet attack aircraft to Israel. In
addition, however, a number of conserva-
tive, pro-US Arab leaders feel undercut
ata time when they are girding for a
new round of infighting with Nasir.
Efforts, this time sponsored by the
Kuwaitis, to get the Egyptians and the
Saudis talking again about the Yemen
problem have foundered. (
The Saudis, jittery over Nasir's
recent threats to attack them if they
continue to support the Yemeni royal--
ists, are airlifting troops to the
border area. These troops, however,
are too few and ineffective to deter
the Egyptians if they really want to
attack. With the principal backers of
the two Yemeni factions in this mood,
plans to reconvene the so far abortive
Harad peace conference next week may
evaporate,

6. Morocco
7. Pakistan
Tensions are rising along the dis-
puted border with Algeria.
the Algerians have rein-
forced their troops in the area between
Figuig and Tindouf (see map), supposedly
"demilitarized" after serious border
fighting in 1963. A clash may already
have occurred around a town Moroccan
messages claim has been occupied by an
Algerian infantry battalion "and two
camel platoons."
Hot-tempered local commanders may
cause further incidents, but both Algiers
and Rabat will try to keep the lid on.
However, King Hassan, who is convinced
that the Algerian military machine will
ultimately be used against him, may get
alarmed enough to press again for in-
creased US military assistance. The Al-
gerians have received considerable quan-
tities of Soviet arms since 1963.
the Pakistanis, convinced that nothing
will come of "the spirit of Tashkent,"
intend to increase incidents along the
border in Kashmir. The idea is to create
such a crisis atmosphere that the UN
would then do something about Indian
intransigence on Kashmir, but to stop
short of provoking India into starting
general hostilities.
Relations between the two countries
have been steadily deteriorating in re-
cent days, however, and the Pakistani
plan could easily get out of control.

8. Bolivia
Prospects for the 3 July elections
coming off as scheduled appear somewhat
better. The ruling junta has rejected
a petition for postponement, while two
and perhaps three parties have finally
decided to, oppose Barrientos' front in
the congressional elections. Barrientos
is still the only presidential candidate.
