2. Algeria-
Morocco
f. The UN observer team has
arrived. Also an Asian People's
Anti-Communist League conference
opens in Saigon today. Finally,
Saturday is South Vietnam's National
Day.
g. There are further rumors
of regime-inspired demonstrations
against our Embassy and USIS head-
quarters
a. Haile Selassie's mediation
effort has clearly failed. Ben Bella,
obviously heartened by the prospect
of substantial help from Cairo con-
tinues to insist that the Moroccans
give up the border posts they have
occupied.
b. While determined to hold
to what he has, Hassan has gone no
further, having apparently turned
down his army's pleas to move on
Tindouf. He has made plain, however,
his expectation that help will be
forthcoming from us when the chips
are down.

3. Congo
c. This point may have arrived.
The Algerians have raised the scale
of hostilities by launching what the
press calls a major offensive to re-
gain the two posts. Algerian troops
are said to have retaken Hassi Beida
in heavy fighting and to be threaten-
ing Tinjoub.
d. Ben Bella, believing he is
about to regain by force what he
could not get by negotiation, has
dispatched an emissary to Tunis to
catch up with Haile Selassie and tell
him Algeria is now ready to talk.
e. Nasir has publicly labeled
Hassan the aggressor and committed
himself to support Algeria.
a. Leopoldville is strike-
ridden. Teachers want pay due them
in arrears and government workers
want long-promised raises.
b. Meanwhile, the vernacular
radio in Brazzaville calls for a
labor uprising and the same treat-
ment for Adoula's government as that
accorded Youlou's.

4. Cuba-USSR
d. Adoula and Defense Mini-
ster Anany, meanwhile, have an-
nounced discovery of a Communist
-
inspired plot to overthrow the gov-
ernment. "A certain" (unnamed)
Communist Bloc embassy is implicated,
and Adoula tells us he plans to
declare its personnel ?persona non
grata.

5. Italy
a. Left wing Socialists have
had to concede victory to Nenni's
faction in Party elections just con-
cluded. Nenni slightly increased
his hold over the party's congress
(55 percent last year).
b. To preserve what influence
they can, the left wingers have
given up direct opposition to coali-
tion with the Christian Democrats
and are now trying to get Nenni'
to stipulate certain conditions.
c. The situation remains
ticklish, however, as the right wing
Christian Democrats have yet to be
brought into line.

NOTES
B. Brazil Goulart
apparently in hope of
regaining the cooperation of other parties. This
has given rise to speculation that he may be shift-
ing to a more centrist-political stance.
