contrary to the Indian government's '
contention, the Soviet offer to allow
the manufacture of MIG engines in
India carries strict security condi-
tions.

2. Indonesia-Netherlands
a. Subandrio is pressing for
U Thant to state publicly what he has
already said privately, namely that in
his opinion the Netherlands and Indo-
nesia have the same interpretations
of the Bunker proposal. With this,
Subandrio indicates, there would be
no need for such a profession from
the Dutch and talks could be resumed
as early as next week. Subandrio also
made it clear, however, that the Indo-
nesians envisage any further secret
talks as only a brief preliminary to
the opening of formal negotiations
under the UN's aegis. The Dutch ap-
pear to be in a forthcoming frame of
mind, but have said they would like
to thrash out the maximum amount of
detail at the secret level before
entering the formal stage.
b. Meanwhile, four Soviet sub-
marines are on a southerly course in
the Pacific, probably bound for Indo-
nesia. Their arrival would bring up
to 12 the number of submarines delivered
to the Indonesians.

Souvanna and Souphannouvong,.
who were due in Vientiane thisNmorning,
are claiming that a muddy airport has
prevented their take-off and
have postponed their arrival. However,
both princes are balking at plans to
have the King mention the National
Assembly's approval of the new govern-
ment in the forthcoming Royal Ordinance
establishing the new regime. Their
contention is that the Souvanna govern-
ment gets its legal standing from the
Zurich agreements and needs no sanction
from the Phoumi-dominated Assembly.
We believe that this sticking point is
the real reason fort their failure to
show upon schedule.
a. A spokesman for the Algerian.
nationalists yesterday announced that_
Europeans in Algeria will be granted
amnesty after the July 1 independence
referendum. This comes as the out-
growth of the behind-the-scenes talks
between nationalist and OAS representa-
tives which have been in progress for
the past two weeks. This morning's
press dispatches are reporting that
the OAS in Algiers has in return
declared an end to the campaign of
destruction and that there had be-641 no
violence in the city up to 10 AM local
time today. However, we do not yet
know how solid this truce is. For one
thing, the nationalist announcement
is ambiguous as to whether the amnesty
will apply specifically to OAS members,
and, for another, it is anything but
certain that the extremist wing of the
OAS, centered mainly in Oran, will go
along with a truce.

b. The outflow of Europeans.from
Algeria has, in the meantime, reached-.
flood proportions. By French count,
92,000 refugees arrived in the Metropole
during the first 12 days of this month.
c. The Provisional Algerian Govern-
ment has officially requested a formal
US statement welcoming Algerian indepen-
dence, including a generous offer of
assistance, as soon as the results of
the referendum have been announced.
The military junta has moved to
head off a recoil from the resignation
on Saturday of Prime Minister Song
Yo-chan, who could become rallying-
point for disgruntled elements inside
and outside the regime. The govern-
ment yesterday announced the arrest
of 74 individuals on charges of sub-
version. General Pak, already presi-
dent and head of the junta, has taken
over as premier,

NOTES
A. The Thais, just as apoplectic about the International Court
ruling as could have been expected, announced this morning
that they are sealing tight their border with Cambodia.
B. President Betancourt has talked to the Venezuelan military
and seems
C.
to have dissuaded them from acting on their own.

Adenauer's public allusion to a Franco-German-Italian political
alignment seems to be generating as much opposition in Paris
as elsewhere in Europe. 50X1

D. The UAR is sure of 19 delegations being on hand for the economic
conference of developing nations, due to open in Cairo on July
9, and looks for at least 10 more. Among the Latins on the list
are Cuba, Mexico and Bolivia, and there is a fair chance that
Brazil, Chile and Uruguay will also accept. 50X1
