1, Berlin
a. A Westbound British convoy
is still being held up by the So-
viets at the Babelsber checkpoint
outside West Berlin.
d. The Soviets are apparently
taking advantage of the confusion
on procedures to probe for weak
points in Allied solidarity on
the access issue. In any case,
regardless of whether our troubles
last week began accidentally,
the move against the British is
almost certainly deliberate.
e, Our own eastbound convoy
today, also of non-dismount size,
passed Mar ienborn without inci-
dent at 0645 Berlin time. We
have no report yet on its treat-
ment at Babelsberg.

2. Algeria-
Morocco
a. The Algerians counter-
attacked at Tinjoub and Hassi Beida
late yesterday.
b. Reports of their success
conflict. The Moroccans intend to
hold these border posts(
c. Ben Bella's propagandistic
call of all veterans to arms has
whipped feeling up to a fever pitch.
The Algerian public is all too ready
to accept rumors that US pilots are
flying Moroccan reinforcements to
the front. We have denied this with
little effect.
d. Both sides continue to re-
inforce, but their ability to sus-
tain a military effort in the present
area of fighting is extremely limited.
e. We are looking for signs
that the fighting might spread to
the north, where larger forces can
be deployed and where the two sides
can really hurt each other. Our
Consul in Oran has confirmed Algerian
troop movements toward Marnia and
Tlemcen.

3. South Korea
4. Congo
f. Negotiations, meanwhile,
are apparently not going well. Ben
Bella's emissaries returned to Algiers
yesterday with King Hassan's terms
for settlement. They return today
to Marrakesh with Ben Bella's answer,
which we do not believe has any give
in it.
a. Opposition candidate Yun
Po-sun has conceded the election to
General Pak, according to late press.
Yun has gone into hiding, however,
and we have no information on his
real attitude.
b. The election was ostensibly
very close, with Pak's margin run-
ning somewhere under 50,000.
c. Yun was at times in the
lead and appeared to be gaining,
but, curiously enough, Pak kept
pulling back ahead.
a. The political situation
has boiled up again. Several top
ministers, formerly among Adoula's
closest supporters, plan to have
President Kasavubu declare a "state
of emergency" under which they would
take over in Adoula's place and
govern as a committee.

5. Pakistan-India
b. This group, generally pro-
Western, has for some time been criti-
cal of what it considers to be
Adoula's lack of forcefulness and
failure to act firmly against leftist
and ultra-nationalist agitators.
c. More recently, with the
fate of Brazzaville's former Presi-
dent Youlou in mind, these officials
are worried by the growing power of
labor and the possible consequences
for them of a threatened general
strike.
d. Army chief Mobutu may be
supporting the move. He also has
become disillusioned with Adoula.
e. Hurry-up calls for Adoula's
return from New York have gone out.
a. Senior Pakistani military
officers met in Rawalpindi late last
week with leaders of Pakistani-held
Azad Kashmir.

b. Their purpose was to con-
sider what could be done to discour-
age the Indians from any plans to
link the Indian-held portion of
Kashmir more closely with India
proper.
c. In the current emotional
atmosphere in Pakistan the Pakistanis
might provoke clashes along the cease-
fire line or organize some guerrilla
operations in the hope of generating
new international pressure for a
settlement.
6. UK-Indonesia- a. The British are convinced
Malaysia that any further concessions to
Sukarno would be taken as a sign of
weakness and that only strong action
will deter him from his course against
Malaysia.
? b. They intend, among other
things, to protect Malaysian ship-
ping to the point of direct engage-
ment if necessary with Indonesian
naval craft.

7. Dominican
Republic
a. The Imbert and Amiama duo
is reported to have combined with
Bosch's party and the leftist 14
June movement in plotting a coup
which they plan to carry out today
or tomorrow.
b. We do not doubt the plot-
ting, but do not believe the assets
are there yet to make a move against
the triumvirate stick.
c. More likely there will be
calls, only partially successful,
for a general strike.
d. student
protest march on the palace is
scheduled If it
takes place it will almost certainly
cause trouble.

NOTES
A. USSR We have another indication
that a space spectacular of sorts is planned to pre-
cede the Soviet anniversary celebrations on 7 Novem-
ber. Signs do point to another Soviet space effort
soon, but it would be the wrong time of the month for
the expected moon shot.
C. Czechoslovakia Rudolph Barak,,
former Czech Minister of Interior will Soon be rein-
stated to a top job in the government.
D. Panama-US We will soon be in for some more pres-
sure from Panama to negotiate revisions to the 1903
Canal Treaty. President Chiari's problem is that
he must make a move in this direction to keep the
initiative away from his opponents as presidential
elections, set for next May, approach.

E.
East Germany ...Berlin The Ulbricht regime
will not take the
action it had been planning to take to incorporate
East Berlin more formally into the East German govern-
ment structure. The city will still only send ob-
servers to the East German government assembly. Ap-
parently, the Communists are afraid they would give
the West Germans an opening for closer relations
between West Germany and West Berlin.
