Togo a. President Grunitsky is only too aware of the shaky status of his regime. Thursday he told that if general recogni- tion of the regime were delayed much longer, he would just "take off" for Dahomey. This would leave Antoine Meatchi in charge--and open the door wider to Nkrumah. b. Only Ghana and Senegal have thus far announced unqualified re- cognition. Dahomey announced de facto recognition but subsequently began to explain this away to other African states as meaningless. Further African recognition will probably depend. on the investigation of the situation in Togo called, for by the conference of moderate African states last week in Lagos, Nigeria.

Saudi Arabia- a. The war of words shows UAR signs of escalation at the same time that there are signs of pro- gress toward a UN role in the Yemen affair. 6. Congo b. Faysal has taken to the stump--a technique new to him--in an effort to stir up popular resent- ment against Nasir and support for his own policy toward Yemen. Last week he addressed rallies in Riyadh, Jidda, and Mecca, levying bitter charges against Nasir and Egypt. c. Nasir is bound to reply in kind. a. Adoula's representatives in Katanga are moving as fast as they can toward integration of Ka- tanga; they are not stressing the U Thant plan, feeling it to be "some- what overtaken by events." All this tends to erode Tshombe's position and it has him worried. b. Tshombe is concerned on another score as well: he has told UN officials that ex-mercenaries are planning to kill three of his minis- ters.

On Sunday the small Congo- lese army contingent in Elisabeth yule began mixed patrols with the UN. General Mobutu is seeking to send Congolese troops to other Ka- tanga centers ,but the UN is resist- ing. It has in mind the possible consequences among both local Afri- cans and Europeans of the too early appearance of these relatively un- disciplined troops. 50X1 Declassified in Part - Sanitized Com., Approved for ReleaseI015/57/24 : CIA-RDP79T00936A001300350001-4 L-- I 1::::;) ?
