Congo 2. Nigeria 3. United Nations 4. United Kingdom The evacuation of foreigners wanting to leave Kisangani has been completed. Embassy officers describe Kisangani as a dead city. Looting by Congolese soldiers and civilians has been at an all-time high. It now appears that the rebels when they moved out last Wednesday took some European but no American hostages. The federal military effort against the East is moving ahead slowly. The General Assembly which recon- venes today will apparently continue for at least a few more days while last-ditch efforts are made to work out a substantive resolution. The Soviets have been meeting with the Latin Americans over the weekend to discuss a compromise text, but it is doubtful that the Arabs can be per- suaded to go along. Britain is set to announce to- morrow its intention to pull out of Singapore and Malaysia by the mid- 1970s. The efforts of numerous gov- ernments to change or delay this de- cision have succeeded only in getting London to make the withdrawal con- tingent on conditions prevailing East of Suez by the 1970s. 50X1 Declassified in Part - Sanitized Copy Approved for Release 2015/07/24 : CIA-RDP79T00936A005300190001-8 Declassified in Part - Sanitized Copy Approved for Release 2015/07/24 : CIA-RDP79T00936A005300190001-8 5.
