Cyprus
LATE ITEM
a. In two meetings with Under
Secretary Ball, Makarios has remained
adamantly opposed to the basic pro-
visions of the revised British-
American plan. The two men are meet-
ing again this morning, but Ball,
despite his laying it on the line
to Makarios, has little hope of any
give in the Greek Cypriot position.
b. Pickard, the British repre-
sentative, thinks Makarios no longer
has any effective control at all,
and Ball describes the two ministers
who led the discussion on the Greek
Cypriot side as fanatical and over
the edge, "They reflect the death
wish that seems endemic in this
wretched island."
c. Civil order deteriorated
further overnight; there have been
150 casualties at the south coast
port of Limassol,
d. If the discussions break
down this morning, the Cypriot gov-
ernment will probably spread the news;
this could trigger widespread fight-
ing.
e. Ball says the principal
problems we now face are to prevent
the situation from degenerating into
general civil war and to restrain
Turkey from intervention under mount-
ing provocation.

3. US-Cuba
He is also looking for ways to ar-
range a cease-fire and a pullback
to previous positions to permit re-
sumption of preparations for tri-
partite talks,
c. General Phoumi is opposed
to sitting down with the Pathet Lao
under the present circumstances.
To bolster his case and to cover the
recent rout of his forces east of
Thakhek, Phoumi is exaggerating the
extent of North Vietnamese military
intervention.
d. Phoumi has also been hint-
ing at possible "spontaneous" popu-
lar demonstrations in Vientiane
against the North Vietnamese Embassy
and Pathet Lao mission. Some conserva-
tive elements remain dissatisfied
with the leadership of both Souvanna
and Phoumi,

4. Somalia- a. Fighting continues despite
Ethiopia moves to halt it, and both sides are
reinforcing their positions along
the border.
b. Three battalions of Ethio-
pian Army troops crossed briefly
into Somali territory at Tug Wajale,
a village which straddles the border,
but now appear to be occupying pre-
pared positions in the Ethiopian
sector of the village.

c. A sizable Ethiopian force
has also assembled at the border
village of Daba Goriale some 120
miles southeast of Tug Wajale. All
told the Ethiopians have one of
their four infantry divisions in
the Ogaden region plus one brigade.
d. The Somali Army has only
two of its seven battalions in the
northern sector of the country, and
appears to be arming large numbers
of "volunteers" to assist them.
e. This sort of guerrilla ac-
tivity, which the Ethiopians know
is encouraged and even directed by
Mogadiscio, has particularly infur-
iated them and probably precipitated
the current fighting.
f. Haile Selassie has told
our ambassador "in confidence"
that "foreigners" were involved in
the recent Somali attacks on Ethionia.
the
Somali president is obsessed with
the idea the US is stimulating the
Ethiopian attacks in retaliation for
his government's turning to the East
for arms. /

C.. Belgium Foreign Minister Spaak believes Belgium
should take immediate steps to make its training?
assistance to the Congolese National Army more ef-
fective in the time remaining before the UN withdrawal
on 1 July. He told the US ambassador, however, that
the idea of placing Belgian officers in Congolese
field units raises sensitive issues and will require
cabinet consideration.
