1. Congo
a. Tshombe yesterday notified
the UN of his willingness to have
the Union Miniere's foreign exchange
earnings funneled through a UN Mone-
tary Council in Leopoldville.
b. He is asking that the UN, the
US, UK and Belgium guarantee the ar-
rangement under which Katanga would
get back 50 percent of the earnings
or a minimum of $60 million a year
out of the roughly $250 million to-
tal.
c. There is guarded optimism
in New York where T8hombe's general-
ized acceptance looks reasonaably
good on the surface.
d. There
suspicion that
and will prove
to working out
is, however, the usual
Tshombe is buying time
elusive when it comes
specifics.
e. Adoula has not yet been of-
ficially informed of TShombels posi-
tion, but with the press beginning to
report the story from New York, ne
will soon have wind of it.

2. India-China a.
Chinese Communist forces
are withdrawing at several points
along the border. The pull-back is
taking place in at least one area of
Ladakh as well as in the NEFA.
b. A Ceylonese diplomat is on his
way to New Delhi and Peiping with the
still undisclosed peace proposals worked
out at the Colombo conference. Nehru
said yesterday that he did not know
exactly what the proposals entailed, but
did not seem to relish what is coming:
"it seems that what is obvious to us is
not obvious to some," was his comment
on the non-aligned conference.
c. Alarm in Nepal over the Chi-
nese threat has brought an abrupt re-
versal in the downward course of rela-
tions with India. The Nepalese foreign
minister, who is now in India urging
close cooperation in warding off the
threat, has declared that India can
recruit as many Gurkha soldiers as it
wants in Nepal and "use them as it
thinks proper."

3. Borneo
a.
Action has dwindled to the
point that British forces are suffering
no casualties.
. Malayan prime minister Rahman)
has
publicly absolved the Philippine gov-
ernment of blame for the revolt in
hopes of preventing permanent damage
to relations between them. The Filipi-
nos, in turn, are showing traces of dis-
comfort at having found themselves pointed
in the same direction as the Indonesians,
even if for different reasons;

NOTES
A. Brazil The state of Rio Grande do Sul, under Governor
Brizola, has asked the Peace Corps to withdraw its six
volunteers. In the discussion leading up to the ac-
tion, local authorities were applying the word "agents"
to the Peace Corps people.
B. Laos Souvanna has inquired whether the US would ob-
ject if he awarded decorations to the crew of the Air
America plane shot down in the Plaine des Jarres late
last month. Ambassador Unger sees this as something
more than a polite gesture since it will be an unmis-
takable slap in the face to the Pathet Lao.
C. Yemen The first Soviet ship to reach Yemen with a
military cargo--tanks, armored cars, artillery. w

-- rrived at the port of Hudaydah on Tuesda
D. Guatemala The rightist military group which tried to
unseat President Ydigoras late last month remains in-
tact
E. EEC-UK The Belgians and the Dutch both feel that the
British have become increasingly rigid in negotiations
with the EEC. Unless there is some easing off, they
say, the British will not need French help to achieve
exclusion.
