Katanga
Souvanna and Souphannouvong were
unyielding on the question of latiting
military pressure on Nam ma when they
saw the British and Soviet ambassadors
yesterday.' .Ina subsequent meeting the
British ambassador found Souvanna
more tractable on this score and'en-
couraged" at word that the US would
go along with him in the event he
came up with a good cabinet. The
prospects now seem to favor a
Souvanna-Phoumi meeting at Luang
Prabang but, given Phoumi's and
Souphannouvong's attitudes, the
outlook for progress there is no
brighter than ever.

lest a false step upset the still-
fragile balance. The main danger
lies in the possibility that some
of the UN representatives on the spot,
in pressing Tshombe for more rapid
progress, will give bellicose elements
among the UN military and Katangan
extremists an excuse to touch off a
third round of fighting.

4. Brazilians not helpful
on Cuban UN resolution
Despite assurances of a hands-off
position given our UN delegation, the
Brazilian ambassador has indicated to
members of the neutralist bloc that
his government is in favor of a resolution
calling on Cuba and the US to settle
their differences by peaceful means. Be-
yond this, he has said that he will
canvass for support along these lines
among other Latin Americans. There
is a good chance that this move will
encourage the Afro-Asians, who have
stayed out so far, to come in with
a resolution lying somewhere in be-
tween the U and Cuban positions.

a. Ambassador Thompson thinks that
unless our response to Khrushchev's
proposal is fairly definite regarding
heads of government participation before
June 1 (he recommends 7 May), Khru-
shchev is quite capable of attending
even if Western heads don't.

NOTES
A. The general strike went off on schedule in France this morning,
but as of 0830 we had received no reports of serious disorders.
B. The Cuban representative to the OAS is acting as though he thinks
his days in Washington and the organization are numbered. Last
week he was looking into arrangements for ettin Iiinself and
his mission's effects back to Havana.
C. Nepalese exiles have carried out new raids across the Indian
border. They are managing to remain a thorn in King Mahendra's
side, but so far their main damage has been to Indian-Nepalese
relations.
D. Unhappiness among the Dominican military, particularly the air
force, over the government's go-slow handling of the leftist
problem, is contributing to continuing instability.
E. The official Congolese News Agency has announced that Adoula
has accepted an invitation to visit Moscow sometime this summer.
