LATE LAOS ITEM
? The Pathet Lao radio this morning announced that the three
princes have initialed an agreement on the distribution of port-
folios. Souphannouvong is listed as first deputy prime minister,
Phoumi as second deputy. The broadcast also claims that the
princes will meet again tomorrow to sign a final agreement, that
the coalition government will present itself to the King in Luang
Prabang next Monday, and that a joint delegation will take off
for Geneva one week later.

1. Laos
2. South Korea
a. With Phoumi at last bowing to
the formation of a coalition government
and Souphannouvong said to be giving
up his insistence on a privileged posi-
tion, the odds are slightly in favor
of the three parties coming up with
a formula at their meeting today.
50X1
b. Since Vientiane intends to
go through the motions of following
constitutional procedures, our guess
is that any new government will not
be a going concern before July at. the 50X1
earliest.
Government leaders were not
pleased yesterday when they were
informed of our unwillingness to
discuss the problem of criminal
jurisdiction over US personnel until
constitutional government is restored.
They have, nevertheless, taken additional
steps to keep the lid on, but we believe
that a new round of anti-American in-
cidents is likely.

3. Communist Bloc
leaders meeting
4. South Vietnam
The declaration put out by the
Communist leaders 'Saturday, this
time meeting as the "Political
Consultative Committee of the Warsaw
Pact:* gave relatively moderate treat-
ment to. the German problem, but was
otherwise virtually meaningless.
We are still in the dark on what else
? went on; relations with Albania and
? China were undoubtedly discussed.
Our Saigon Embassy has received
an advance copy of the ICC report on
South Vietnam (due for release yester-
day.) Ambassador Nolting is favorably
impressed by its over-all tone, and
satisfied that the cause-and-effect
relationship between North Vietnamese
subversion and US intervention comes
through loud and clear. The Communists
seem to have read the report the same
way and, judging by Hanoi's furious
propaganda charges that the ICC has
acted "illegally," are out to dis-
credit it.

-I
Algerian nationalist leaders, meet-
ing in Tunis last week, 50X1
elected Ben Bella to be the 50X1
secretary-general of their post-inde-
pendence political organization. It
is, therefore, probably no coincidence
that nationalist pronouncements, in
the past few days, have begun to glorify
the Algerian National Army and have
taken on a stronger anti-French colora-
tion. This and Algerian reaction to
the new wave of OAS activity do not
bode well for the future of the European
community.
In Peru, press reports of the early
election returns are conflicting as to
who is ahead. It seems, however, that
the three top contenders--Haya de la
Torre, Odria, and Belaunde.!--are so
closely bunched that none may gain the
34 percent of the total vote required
for election. (There are four other
candidates.) In such an event, the
congress elects the President. .

Indian Politics a.
Nehru
50X1
50X1
the general feeling is that his 50X1
reign is nearly over. There are indica-
tions that the scramble to succeed
is already under way. The first test
of factional strength in the ruling
Congress Party is likely to take place
next week when Krishna Menon's supporters
will attempt to prevent the election
of conservative Finance Minister Desai
to the position of deputy party leader
in Parliament.
b. Menon's campaign for MIG-21's
(and for the reduction of India's dependence
on US aid in general) is apparently in-
tended to weaken Desai. 50X1

military movements
50X1
a high level
of alert over most of China. There
are indications of the movement of at
least three divisions--and probably
considerably more--from north and
central China, apparently toward the
south. We are unable yet to deter-
mine the reason: reaction to
Nationalist preparations, civil unrest,
and flood difficulties have been sug-
gested, but none completely fit the
picture. There are already approximately
a half-million troops in the areas
facing Taiwan. L

NOTES
A. Ambassador Rice reports that the Dutch are unlikely to make
any public statement, as demanded by Indonesia, which smacks
of agreement to transfer the administration of West New
Guinea before negotiations are resumed.
,B. ? TheBonn cabinet isscheduled this week to consider whether,
and under What circumstances, it should grant a large line
of credit to East Germany for the purchase Of machinery and
industrial goods'frOm west Germany.
C. ,A Soviet fighter aircraft yesterday tailed one of our transports
on a flight in the southern cdirridor to Berlin,. This is the
first incident of this nature since the Soviets stopped their
harassment activities in the corridors last March. 50X1
D.
50X1
high-level Soviet military delega- 50X1
tion to visit Ghana. The Russians, we suspect, will come pre-
pared to offer Nkrumah something more substantial in the way
of military assistance than the training of a few cadets in the
USSR and a modest gift of small arms, their limit to date.
F. Communist China is again shopping for wheat in Australia.
