1. Cyprus
a. Makarios told Ambassador
Wilkins this morning that the US-UK
peacekeeping proposals were not ac-
ceptable, even as amended. A. formal
statement to this effect will be
made later today.
b. Makarios told Wilkins he
is thinking ofgoing to the UN
Security Council since any forces
stationed in Cyprus should be under
the council and answerable to it.
c. He added that he did not
yet know when Cyprus would be tak-
ing its case to New York but promised
to give the US and the UK "reasonable
notice."
d. The rejection is not unex-
pected since the Makarios forces
organized demonstrations yesterday
against a NATO force and then told
Wilkins it would be unwise to send
such a force in view of Cypriot pub-
lic opinion.
e. The Greek Government is

2. Britain in
East Africa
f. There is also the possi-
bility of trouble within the Turkish
Government. Foreign Minister Erkin,
who apparently advised Ankara to re-
ject the US-UK proposals, may now
resign.
a. British officials in this
area are now eyeing the prospect of
remaining indefinitely.
b. These officials recognize
the political drawbacks involved,
but feel that the threat of external
subversion from Zanzibar and internal
power grabs by the likes of Oginga
Odinga and Kambona will in the end
persuade East African leaders to ask
the British to stay.
c. ?The officials emphasize
that London has as yet taken no de-
cision on this, but Sandys is ex-
pected to visit the area soon to
discuss the matter.

3, Zanzibar
d. As in Cyprus, the British
may try to "internationalize" their
peacekeeping role, perhaps by ring-
ing in the Commonwealth or by urg-
ing the US to help with money and
training,
e. At least one East African
politician, Kenya's ambitious Home
Minister Odinga, is already lambast-
ing the British in public in an effort
to improve his image as the true de-
fender of African nationalism,
a. Neither the new regime nor
the imported Tanganyikan police have
yet succeeded in disarming the gun-
toting followers of free-wheeling
"Marshall" Okello.
b. The Tanganyikan police, we
hear, are spending most of their
time in their barracks, and the gov-
ernment itself has shown little
stomach for the task.
C.
it
is getting more difficult to protect
American property,
last week Okello's thugs made off
with a US government car, and the
authorities have been unable to re-
cover it.

4. USSR-Cuba a. The Soviet ship Sergei
Kirov was in Cuban ports
5. France-China
b. photography
at Bahia Honda on Friday and Satur-
day showed the Kirov, with hatches
open; booms active, and 35-40 trucks
working its cargo. The ship was due
in Havana Sunday.
a. Paris and Peiping took a
further step this weekend toward
consummating the diplomatic ties
they agreed on last month. Each
named a charge to represent it in
the other:' S capital.
b. In neither case was any
mention made of timing. The arrival
of a Chinese Communist charge in
Paris will have an unsettling effect
on Taipei/ which is uncertain how
far it should go in trying to out-
last Peiping.

6. Maphilindo
Meeting
c. The Chinese Communists,
though somewhat shaken by Chiang's
refusal to bolt so far, seem deter-
mined to play their hand out.
c. Indonesia and Malaysia are
embroiled in yet another slanging
match. The Malaysians are charging
the Indonesians with illegal over-
flights of Sabah while the Indone-
sians are denouncing the surrender
appeals which they claim the
Malaysians have air-dropped.
d. The Philippines, notsur-
prisingly, are taking the position
that Malaysia will have to grant
Sukarno "face-saving" concessions.

7. ,Indonesia-UK
8. Ghana
a. Djakarta inched closer to
a complete takeover of British firms
in Indonesia Sunday when it placed
Shell Oil and at least 44 other
British-owned companies and agricul-
tural estates under "government
supervision."
b. These enterprises repre-
senting a significant part of the
remaining British investment in
Indonesia, have been harassed by
labor unions, mostly Communist-led,
for several weeks.
c. The present move may have
been accelerated by this Communist
activity.
a. We are still not sure where
Nkrumah stands in relation to the
army.
b. A large body of troops
vas drawn up briefly around his
residence on the night of 31 Jan-
uary. Since then the army security
guard there has been quadrupled.
c. Rumors are still floating
about Accra that the Ghanaian leader
is under some sort of army constraint.
d. These lack confirmation,
and we note that Nkrumah made a live
20-minute broadcast to the nation
last evening.

B. Ecuador Authorities have closed the university in
? Quito following student clashes with secUrity forces
late last week. .This will create further difficulties
for the rulingjunta. _Already there is talk in Quito
that no Ecuadorean Government has ever taken on the
students and survived.
C. Cuba-UK Leyland Motors, which recently sold 400
buses to Cuba, has announced that Castro has signed
an option to buy an additional 1,000 in the future.

E. USSR Khrushchev seems to be taking a working
vacation in the Kiev area. He accompanied Castro
there on 21 January and was still there at month's
end.
F. Afghanistan Progressive Prime Minister Yusuf may
have to step down because of ill health.
If this happens the problem of finding a successor
willing and able to continue the King's reform Pro-
gram would be seriously complicated
