50X1
Four large, identical Soviet boats
of a new class have been sighted 50X1
in the Sea capo
Japan. Judging from the engine sounds
detected and the absence of diesel smoke,
they are very probably nuclenf-powered.
Each boat is equipped with six launching
tubes, apparently for cruise-type mis-
siles. 50X1

Prior to these sightingami
the known inventory of Soviet nuclear
submarines was 12. 50X1
US representatives in Laos are ac-
cepting the government's announcement
50X1
yesterday that its post at Muong Sing
in northwestern Laos has fallen to rebel
forces. The government had only a hand-
ful of troops there bu50X1
has been using the town as a resupply ,
point for its large garrison at Nam Tha.
Vientiane is playing the event in fairly
low key, but it could, nevertheless,
shake Phoumi in his tentative groping to-
ward new talks with Souvanna. In Paris,
meanwhile, Souvanna is still taking a po-
lite but "tell-me-more" attitude toward
Phoumi's offer on resumption.

a. Tshombe's return to Leopold-
ville is still being held up as the UN's
Gardiner, anxious for the next round of
talks to get off on a decent footing,
tries to come to some general understand-
ing with him. The question of how reve-
nues are to be divided between Leopold-
ville and Katanga is for now the biggest
stumbling-block. 50X1
b. The Indians are showing a blend
of impatience and apprehension with the
Katanga impasse.(

4. Spaak wants early de-
cision from London on
EEC terms
5.
Burmese
As much as he has advocated bring-
ing the British into the Community, Spaak
now feels that they will have to fish or
cut bait on the Commonwealth question
soon or risk losing out. If Spaak has 50X1
his way, foreign ministers of the Six,
who will have an opportunity for discus-
sions in Athens, should ask London
whether it insists on a permanent privi-
leged trading position for Commonwealth
members or is willing to agree to tem-
porary preferences on specific products
for a fixed transitional period. 50X1

Disunity among the Latin Americans at the UN carries the threat
of a permanent impairment of their functioning as a pro-US bloc.
Usually meeting twice a month, they have held no caucus for
seven weeks because Bolivia, Mexico, and Brazil
insist that Cuba
be included.

The Japanese, with an eye on parliamentary elections
next July,
are beginning to press for a broader scope for the upcoming nego-

F. Chancellor Gorbach had a visit to France already scheduled for
the last week in June when Moscow announced that he would visit
there in the same period. Foreign Minister Kreisky sees this
as another example of Gorbach's overeagerness to accommodate
Moscow, and De Gaulle's reactrn is not h7rd to imagine.
