Chinese army and air force units
continue their move into South China
opposite Taiwan; we now think that at
least six divisions are involved.
while still falling
short of providing confirmation, have
nevertheless strengthened oldr suspi-
cions that Chinese submarines have
also been deployed in the Strait area.

doing everything possible to persuade
Souvanna to attend the Geneva conference

7. USSR-Sudan
In their eagerness to conclude a
civil air agreement, the Soviets are
reportedly prepared to bo W to Khartoum's
insistence that non-Sudanese crews

(presumably even Americans) be allowed
to fly its planes over Soviet territory.
With this major roadblock out of the
way, a final agreement is likely to
be buttoned-up before very long.

USIB WATCH COMMITTEE MEETING
13 June 1962
The Committee reaffirmed its conclusion that no Sino-Soviet
Bloc country intends to initiate direct military action in the
-immediate future, but gave close attention to the sharp buildup
of Chinese Communist ground force strength in areas adjacent to
the Taiwan Strait. It advanced several explanations for this,
buildup, including:, a) the strengthening of defenses against the
possibility of Nationalist operations against the mainland; b) prepa-
rations for offensive action against the. offshore islands; 0- a desire
to divert the attention of the US away from the Southeast Asian
theater. In reaching its primary conclusion, the Committee
noted that the activities of the Soviet and satellite armed
forces appeared normal, and examined the current situations in Ber-
lin, Laos, and Indonesia. On Laos, the Committee foresees the
present de facto division of the country continuing for some time,
despite the recent agreement of the three princes.

NOTES
A. In South Korea, the sloppy handling of the recently decreed
currency devaluation is arousing popular distrust of the govern-
ment, thus adding a new element of uncertainty to the uneasy
situation there.
B. With expenditures steadily rising and revenues declining, Iran
is getting into a financial bind which will probably stimulate
Tehran to ask for emergency US assistance, perhaps within ?the
next couple of weeks.
C. Adenauer, anxious to-see some measure of European political
unity achieved before he leaves the scene, is saying that if the
Benelux countries continue to hang back, a start should be made
by the formation of A Franco-German-Italian union.
D. President Macapagal has twice, in the last fortnight, publicly
addressed himself to US-Philippine relations in distinctly con-
ciliatory tones, giving rise to hopes his administration will
dampen-down the anti-American sentiment it has helped to arouse
during the past few weeks.
