1. Morocco- a. The little summit got under-
Algeria way in Bamako today.
b. The signs are not auspicious.
The two principals, Hassan and Ben
Bella, were in the Malian capital
yesterday striking inflexible, and
antithetical, poses.
c. Whatever the outcome each
appears determined to oversee .a
build-up in his armed forces. Ben
Bella, especially, sees in the aid
from his friends the opportunity to
correct the imbalance between his
and Hassan's forces. He is not apt
to turn off the spigot.
e. Hassan is of course well
aware of the aid being given Algeria
and will not give up his advantage
easily. He has put out feelers--to
Jordan for one--for added military
help.

2. South Vietnam
f. We now learn that the
French may not be as wholly in the
Moroccan came as we had thought.
g. Military activity on a small
scale continues in some sectors of
the border. The Moroccans have been
reinforcing the area north of Tindouf
(center of the iron mining region)
and may move if the Bamako talks fail.
a. An extensive reshuffling of
top military figures is in the works,
ranging from the chief army post
down through the regional commands.
b. We regard this as a step
by Diem and Nhu to head off any coup
tries by the generals. ?The two may
well succeed, though their schemes
could conceivably trigger the very
action they wish to avoid.
c. The generals
have not abandoned
?
their coup planning.
