1. West New Guinea
2. Congo
3. Tariff issue
The Dutch Cabinet takes up the
Bunker proposal today. Foreign Minister
Luns is reported confident it will be
rejected out of hand 50X1
? / In the past few
weeks ..a cabinet majority has favored
? a more flexible liner on negotiations
than that taken by Luns, and'may pre-
vail upon him to agree to further
talks. Refusal by him--the strongest
figure in the dabinet--could lead to
a,government crisis, which might cause
his fellow cabinet members to feel com-
pelled to support him.
Propos ls that Tshomb6 be taken
? into protective custody, contained in
letters addressed to Adoula by the
president of Leopoldville Province,
have fallen into Katangan hands and
have been published. UN representative
G rdiner believes them authentic. If
not promptly disavowed by Adoula they
could be used to break up further talks.
Our Embassy in Brussels attributes
inflamatory official descriptions of
US tariff action on carpets and glass--
"brutal, immoral, and unacceptable"--
in part to domestic political considera-
tions. The moderately phrased EEC -
note on the issue was delivered with
an oral comment that the Belgians
still feel badly used; the official
spokesman for the EEC implied that
the US, which fared so well at the
recent GATT talks, owed EEC better
treatment.

NOTES
A. Marshall Konev yesterday agreed to,' dropping' restrictions on
Soviet and western military missions in East and West Germany.
No Soviet flights were scheduled for the corridors today.
B. Ambassador Walmsley reports "disturbing indications" that the
Algerian rebel military headquarters in Tunis categorically
oppose the cease-fire agreements, which they see as having
made excessive base rights and economic concessions to the
French. Efforts to organize opposition to the accords have
thus far been limited to the rebel military organization.
C. Souvanna, in Londos and Paris, says that he is in no hurry to
get back to Laos; in fact, he feels that his stay in Paris will
cause the US to tighten the screws on Phoumi.
D. It is unlikely that Guido will convene the Argentine Congress.
Frondizi's party, which controls both houses, will not work as
a party with Guido, and the Peronistas May also oppose him.
He is now considering governing by decree.
E. The new Syrian regime has made no headway in finding a political
leader willing to accept the burden of forming a civilian govern-
ment. Ambassador Knight feels it is stuck at dead center, re-
peating all of Dawilibi's mistakes by antagonizing both political
extremes--the reactionaries and the radicals--as well as the
army command.
F. Izvestiya is the only Moscow newspaper to publish Peiping's
editorial on disarmament, but with the significant omission of
the stat ment that China will be bound by no disarmament agree-
ments to which it is not a party. The US Embassy observes that
the omission emphasizes the gulf between Soviet and Chinese
positions on disarmament.
