LATE ITEM
In its strongest display of verbal support for Cuba
to date, the Soviet government declared in Moscow this
morning that a US attack on Cuba could lead to a global
nuclear war. The declaration said that the Defense Minis-
try has been ordered "to take all measures to ensure that
our armed forces are brought to the highest state of mili-
tary preparedness," adding the caveat that "however, these
are exclusively precautionary measures,"

1. Laos
a. ?The Soviet airlift, after
coming to a near standstill late
last month, has become active again
during the last three days. We are
not sure why flights are being re-
sumed--or for that matter why they
were reduced in August--but Communist
and neutralist forces may well be run-
ning low on supplies, particularly in
the Plaine des Jarres. Some of the
flights could be engaged in the with-
drawal of North Vietnamese elements.
b. There had been no flights
into northern or southern Laos since
26 August. On Saturday, two flights
were scheduled to Tchepone. They did
not fly, but two flew there yesterday
and two were scheduled for today. There
were three flights to the Muong Sal -
Nam Tha area yesterday and two more
scheduled for today,
c. As for central Laos, where
there had been only seven flights
since the 26 August curtailment, there
were five airlift flights into the
Plaine des Jarres on Saturday, six
yesterday, and six scheduled for to-
day.

2, Cuba
a, Havana radio is charging this
morning that two cargo ships outward
bound from Cuba, one Cuban and the other
British, have been attacked off the
northern coast by a "pirate ship." The
broadcast does not say when the incident
took place,
b. Our Embassy in Mexico City has
been informed by a reliable source claim-
ing to speak for President Lopez Mateos
that the Mexican and Brazilian govern-
ments are consulting on whether to break
relations with Cuba. Ambassador Mann
points out that Mexico's concern over
the Communist threat from Cuba has not
increased, nor has Mexico retreated from
its opposition to collective OAS action
against Cuba. Rather, Mexico's cardinal
concern is to avoid isolation in its po-
sition toward Cuba.

3. Soviet
nuclear sub-
marines
4, European
Union
a. Our latest information brings
to at least nine, and probably ten, the
number of nuclear submarine hulls known to
be under construction at Komsomolsk in the
Soviet Far East,
b. Although we cannot be sure of num-
bers, we believe that as many or more are
now being built on the White Sea.
c. The current estimate credits the
Soviets with 18 nuclear submarines com-
pleted, seven of them equipped for bal-
listic missiles.
a, Belgium's Spaak sees his sus-
picions buttressed by De Gaulle's com-
ments on European union during his West
German visit. As Spaak sees it, De Gaulle
is offering not a unified Europe but a
Franco-German alliance which he will "gen-
erously permit" the Benelux countries to
join as satellites.
b. Canada's Diefenbaker? Australia's
Menzies, and India's Nehru are scheduled
to take the floor today at the Common-
wealth prime ministers' meeting in London.
They are expected to present their rebut-
tals to the case for British entry into
the Common Market presented by Macmillan
yesterday, but going into the session
British officials were still optimistic
about obtaining Commonwealth approval this
week.
