1. Cuba
a. Havana is all decked out
for today's anniversary celebration
which will culminate in a mass rally
in Revolutionary Plaza.
b. At least 200 Latin Ameri-
cans apparently have been invited to
attend the celebrations. For a va-
riety of reasons, however, including
Jamaica's refusal to allow transit,
scheduling difficulties (probably at
least partly deliberate) out of
Mexico City, and a delayed Cubana
flight from Europe, the number of
actual arrivals has been consider-
ably reduced.
c. Following an earlier sus-
pension of the flight, a Cubana air-
lines IL-18 arrived in Rio de Jan-
eiro on Tuesday and returned to
Havana yesterday with a load of
?Latin American delegates to attend
the celebrations.

3. South Vietnam
a. Nhu continues to meet with
army generals. His purpose, he has
told them, is to surface and "deflate"
some of the problems that may be
troubling them.
b.
With these
tactics he may well have
succeeded in his evident real pur-
pose which is to smoke out and dis-
arm those who have harbored thoughts
of a coup.
c. a lull in Bud-
dhist demonstrations has coincided
with a more conciliatory attitude
on the part of Diem and his minis-
ters.
d. This has led some, includ-
ing Ambassador Nolting, to express
the thought that perhaps the regime
can weather the crisis after all.

4. Indonesia
a. .Sukarno, already angered
by British expulsion of his consuls
in Jesselton, professes to be out-
raged by receipt of a formal Malayan
invitation to send a delegate to the
Malaysian inaugural ceremonies on 31
August.
b. Now he says he will not at-
tend the summit talks set for next
Tuesday in Manila. Evidently to
show that he means it, the Indonesians
have cancelled their hotel reserva-
tions in Manila.
c. Ambassador Jones is doing
what he can to repair the damage
before Sukarno addresses a mass
rally tomorrow.

NOTES
A. UAR A wave of arrests has hit civilian and mili-
TIFy personnel alike in Cairo and Alexandria (where
Nasir is due to speak today).(
B. Laos The Chinese Communists apparently now con-
Yid-6r "neutralist" General Khamouane, strong man in
Laos' northernmost Phong Saly province, a safe bet.
Both Peiping and Hanoi have been buttering -him up
with supplies from time to time
C. Czechoslovakia Czech party boss Novotny, a Stalin-
ist from way back who is in bad odor with Khru-
shchev, has been unable with threats and warnings
to stifle the demand for liberalization among intel-
lectuals inside the party and out. He has refrained
so far from using the repressive measures he knows
best, possibly because he no longer can. The bold-
ness of his critics suggests they have found impor-
tant support in high places.

E. Panama-US President Chiari responded favorably
to Ambassador Farland's suggestion of possible
"special assistance", and Farland therefore plans
to deliver the President's letter to Chiari on
Monday.
