1. Berlin
2. Laotian talks
3. West New Guinea
a. Continuing this week's
more moderate pattern of flight activity,
the USSR scheduled two outbound flights
for this morning in the southern cor-
ridor.
b. The East German foreign ministry
announced yesterday that West Berliners
travelling abroad must have transit visas.
Phoumi has invited Harriman to
Vientiane and is willing to meet him
and Sarit tomorrow in Nong Khai--in
Thailand across the border from
Vientiane.
a. Indonesia has infiltrated three
companies on the Dutch-administered is-
land of Waigeo, and possibly Arefi, off
West New Guinea. This is the largest
such operation to date, and one group
wasr_e_nor_ted, sighted by Dutch aircraft.
50X1
b. The talks have made little
headway because the authority of the
Indonesian, Malik, does not extend to
discussion of the interim administration
envisioned by the Dutch. Yesterday
Foreign Minister Subandrio told our
charge that he would have to negotiate
this point himself. Previously he had
Said there was "no limit" of time and
that the US would have a chance to
speak prior to any decision to break
off talks. The Indonesians have asked
for Ambassador .TOnes to return to
Diakarta from Manila.

4. Algeria a. The OAS has stepped up
terrorism in Al iers and Oran.
5. Argentina
,Peronista-led
labor unions--half of organized labor--
may stir things up again with a 24
hour strike called for today. Their
leaders told the US Embassy that the
strikes will continue until federal
intervention in the provinces is
cancelled. Early reports indicated
little disturbance. The military
is prepared to use harsh measures
in the event of violence.

6. Sovieti Space and
Missile Activity
7., Brazil
a. Soviet aircraft activity
similar to that associated with the
16 March satellite launching from
Kapustin Yar may indicate another
launching from there in the next few
days. However, as no such activity
was evident in connection with the
abortive"attearts from Kapustin Yar
on 27 October and 21 December this new
activity may be only a support function
for the satellite now in orbit.
b. A test vehicle was success-
fully launched yesterday from Tyuratam
to the.Kamchatka Peninsula. It is
believed to be the same type vehicle
that had an in-flight failure on 20,
March and is the tenth generally
successful launching of this--"Category
.C"--vehicle. At least six failures in
flight have been identified, one of
which was an extended-range attempt
a. With extensive oil shale
reserves of its own, Brazil's state
oil monopoly has a mission touring
'Western European and Bloc nations to
inspect oil shale operations. -The
USSR is said to be ready to supply a
pilot shale processing plant to
private Brazilian company.

8. Iraq tries to
isolate Kuwait
9. Congo talks
Iraq is trying to bring pressure
against countries who have diplomatic
representation in Kuwait. Iraqi
ambassadors to Iran, Jordan and Tokyo
have been withdraWn. When the Kuwaiti
ambassador presents his credentials
in Washington the Iraqi ambassador may
be recalled. Iraq boycotts Arab League
activities because of Kuwait's participa-
tion.
The early phases of the Adoula-
Tshombe talks appear to be hanging
on the issue of the official status
of the'participants. Adoula adheres
to the view that the chief of state
is not permitted by the constitution
to bargain away national prerogatives
with a provincial president. Ambassador
Gullion expected, a showdown yesterday,
but ,the results have not yet been
received in Washington.
