LATE NOTES
There are indications of marginal weather in and around the
Berlin air corridors this morning, which may account for their
being no reports of Soviet harassment.
A state of seige has reportedly been declared in British
Guiana.

1. Berlin corridors
a. Four of the five US planes
sent through the northern corridor
this morning during the "reserved"
period had completed their flights
without incident at the time of our
last report.
b. Yesterday, Soviet aircraft
stepped up their harassment of West-
ern flights, both military and com-
mercial, in the southern corridor
which had been declared "reserved,"
but passes were also made in the
central corridor on which no claims
had been made.
C. The Soviets made new? demands
in the Berlin Air Safety Center
yesterday, saying that they would
not guarantee the safety of aircraft
which had not filed notice a day in
advance of the time they intended to
cross the East German border. The
Soviets seem to be maneuvering to
put themselves in a position to dis-
rupt commercial traffic by refusing
safety guarantees and thereby to
undermine West Berlin morale.

2. Katanga parliament

with central govern-
ment
3. Laos
a. Tshombe probably intends to
represent the resolution passed yester-
day, under which he is "authorized"
to hold further negotiations on re-
integration with Adoula, as a sign of
visible progress. However, the resolu-
tion commits him to acceptance of the
Kitona accord only if the central gov-
ernment meets a number of conditions
(e.g. renunciation of the use of UN
forces in "internal" affairs) and
thus, in effect, does no more than
stake out a bargaining position for
any talks that follow.
b. There are rumblings in
Elisabethville of a move by Katangan
extremists to oust Tshombe. So far
these are in the rumor stage.
Souvanna has arrived in Luang
Prabang on schedule for his audience
with the King. Phoumi was on hand
at the airport. We have no reports
of a change in the military situation.
