On the island the lid Was still in place, despite the usual scattered gunfire. Both Greek and Turkish Cypriot representatives on the political committee are thor- oughly dissatisfied and the committee may break up soon.' c. There was no discernible progress in diplomatic moves to find a way out. At the UN Security Coun- cil President Bernardes drafted yet another resolution, which, however, seems unacceptable to the Greek Cypriots. d. The Cypriots in fact now realize that they probably will not get the resolution they want. Their next move may be to try to switch to the General Assembly. e. Efforts by the UK to stimu- late a meeting on Cyprus between Papandreou and Inonu have come to naught.

Turkish officials, viewing with alarm recent Makarios moves to disarm the Turkish Cypriots and increased Soviet involvement, have asked for discussions with Ambassador Hare on what will happen after the UN reaches the end of its road and 50X1 new violence explodes.

Libya-US a. Nasir's recent fulmina- tions against foreign bases in the eastern Mediterranean have found a mark in the Libyan Government, still shaken by last month's rioting. b. On Tuesday Prime Minister Muntassir told Ambassador Lightner he doubted the recent government statement on nonrenewal of foreign base aggreements, would satisfy the many Libyans who are infected with this Nasirist point of view. c. The prime minister said it was his personal opinion that it may be necessary to terminate US and UK base rights within two years.

Venezuela Venezuelan terrorists, who have vowed to frustrate Betancourt's ambition to be the first presi- dent in his country's history to pass the mantle of office to a lawfully elected successor, are making plans to interfere with Leoni's inauguration next month. The government is aware of this and should be able to cope with the situation. B. Panama Chiari yesterday received word from Washington that Moreno was close to working out a formula on re-establishing diplomatic relations with the US. Chiari's reaction, we hear, was that he will go to the end of his term without relations unless the US agrees to renegotiate the 1903 treaty. D. Berlin Passes Brandt is in funda- mental disagreement with Erhard on the pass question. The mayor would like to see the arrangement of last Christmas renewed, and he thinks that Erhard has been influenced to a contrary view by a "hard" group in Bonn, which includes Adenauer and Schroeder, who want to isolate the East Germans by setting up trade mis- sions in East Europe. Even so, further talks on the pass problem are in the works.
