1. Communist China
2. Brazil
a.
erected barracks and other military
structures in an area close by the Chin-
mens.
The Brazilian Chamber of Deputies,
quite obviously persuaded that its
tug-of-war with Goulart has put a
dangerous strain on the political
situation, earlier today approved
Brochado da Rocha as prime minister.
We do not yet have a breakdown of the
vote by parties, but the 215-58 count
would have been impossible without a
good number of grudging votes from
moderate-conservative ranks. By way
of underscoring Goulart's victory, the
new prime minister is already talking
publicly about a plebiscite to rule
on presidential vs. parliamentary
powers.

3. Laos
4. Bloc economic
conference
a. The South Vietnamese have
placed themselves in a position of
"present but not participating" at
Geneva. The Foreign Minister in-
tends to remain on hand but refuses
to say whether he will or will not
subscribe to the conference agree-
ments. We expect it will be later to-
day, at the earliest, before there is
any word from Saigon concerning the
President's letter to Diem.
b. Back in Laos, the three fac-
tions have agreed to take a partial
step toward military integration by
constituting composite battalions
at Luang Prabang, Vientiane and Khang
Khay.
a. Further evidence that the
Bloc's economic coordinating council
(CEMA) is currently wrestling with
problems of special import comes in
word that it is about to meet again
in Moscow, for the second time in a
month. Eastern Europe's stumbling
agriculture seems certain to draw a
close look, but we would suppose
that the evolving economic situation
?in Western Europe will also be near the
top of the agenda.
b. Bloc representatives else-
where are, meanwhile, trying to put
some impetus behind the Khrushchev
proposal for a world trade conference.
They made some headway last week
toward securing formal endorsement
for such a conference from the UN's
? Economic and Social Council, meeting in
Geneva. If ECOSOC approval can be had,
the proposal can then be taken to next
fall's General Assembly.

5. Indonesia-Netherlands
6. Austria-USSR
Indonesian Ambassador Malik is
scheduled to leave for Washington to-
morrow to reopen talks with the
Dutch. He is being given authority
to reach a "gentleman's agreement"
but not to initial anything binding,
and the plan is to have Subandrio
follow in about a week if things
seem to be going well. Jones reports
that Sukarno is showing signs of
cautious optimism for the first time,
and it seems to have dawned on the
Indonesians that they will do better
to make as much headway as possible
with Van Roilen rather than wait for
Luns to enter the 50X6
picture.
Moscow will no doubt want to
have its say

NOTES
A. South Korea has a new premier, Kim Hyon-Ch'ol, in place of
General Pak who took over temporarily last month when the
incumbent resigned. Kim, who was once Finance Minister under
Syngman Rhee, is not a political factor in his own right and
his appointment seems likely to have little bearing on the
factionalism within the junta.
B. In the aftermath of his agreement with De Gaulle to speed
up work on a European political treaty, Adenauer has invited
Spaak to visit Bonn at an early date. Spaak takes it for
granted that the Chancellor will try to chip away nis resistance
to moving ahead on the political front while British accession
to the EEC remains unsettled.
C. Independent Rwanda last Thursday had its first encounter, in
what promises .to be a continuing series, with invading Tutsi
tribes to overthrow the redominantly Hutu govern-
ment.
the invaders, who has a stock o Soviet propaganda and money,
were routed without the help of Belgian troops who remain
until August I only.
D. Embassy Cairo reports that Nasir's speech at the opening of
the underdeveloped nations economic conference yesterday was
restrained and "no problem" from the US point of view.
