1. Taiwan Strait
Peiping propaganda on the Taiwan
Strait appears to be diminishing in
intensity, and there have been no
major military moves in the area
recently. Against this setting,
Khrushchev's statement yesterday that
the "whole Socialist camp" stands
prepared to help Peiping repel any
Nationalist invasion sounded like
a belated--and relatively safe--effort
to look the part of the staunch ally.
At the same time, Khrushchev spoke
of the "totally unjustified presence"
of American troops in Korea. We do
not know what significance to attach
to it, but Soviet propagandists
have been hitting this theme hard

be conducive to an early buttoning-up

may be underway, but Hanoi will probably
keep their troops on hand until a final
settlement is concluded.

3. Algeria
France formally recognized Algerian
independence this morning. Ben Khedda
_and his colleagues are due to arrive
in Algiers later in the day and are
expected to take over control of the
government. Meanwhile, there is great
uncertainty as to what course Ben Bella
and his military cohorts will take
today) but we look for an early show-
down between the rival factions.

NOTES
A. In Japan, the strong showing of the ruling Liberal Democratic
Party in Sunday's parliamentary elections (it won more than half
of the Upper House seats that were at stake) just about nails down
the party's endorsement for Ikeda in another 2-year tour as Prime
Minister,
B. ?A developing Viet Cong campaign to restrict the mobility of
government forces is suggested by a recent spate of sabotage
attacks against South Vietnam's railroads and airfields.

In the aftermath of the inconclusive Peruvian elections,
Haya de la Torre is fearful that to press
his claim for the presidency may precipitate civil war
E. The Brazilian Congress this morning endorsed Goulart's nomination
of Auro Moura Andrade, the widely respected president of the
Senate, to be prime minister. Andrade, 46, is said to be an
exponent of a strong presidency for Brazil.
