1. Cyprus
a. Greek Cypriots seem deter-
mined to use any degree of force
necessary to disarm the Turkish
Cypriots.
b. The superior fire power of
the Greek Cypriots is forcing the
Turkish Cypriots to surrender several
key areas, and new clashes appear
imminent in Nicosia, Limassol, and
Larnaca.
c. British troops apparently
are no longer able to restrain the
Greeks.
? d. Turkish Cypriots, disillu-
sioned by Ankara's failure to pro-
tect them, have begun to demonstrate
against Turkey.
e. In this situation,the pres-
sure on Inonu's government to inter-
vene is at a peak. Foreign Minister
Erkin told Parliament yesterday
that the "necessary measures" would
be taken.

2. Cambodia
g. Signs so far are that
the Turks are engaging in another
show of force. However, Ankara may
believe that it is now or never
if the Turkish Cypriot community is
to be saved.
h. The prospect of a UN
peace-keeping force seems, meanwhile,
to be receding. Britain, Canada,
Sweden, and Finland are the only
likely sources of troops, and the
latter two countries have indicated
a period of training will be required
after agreement on financing and
terms of reference is reached.
a. A large mob in Phnom Penh
this morning attacked the US and
British embassies. Windows were
smashed, cars destroyed, the USIS
library gutted, extensive damage was
done to the first floor of our
embassy, and our flag was torn down.
It was a two and one half hour demon-
stration. Government sponsorship
was obvious.
b. Police stood by watching
until after the mob made its point,
then moved in and sealed the area
off. US personnel were unhurt.

c. Sihanouk says he will
offer apologies and indemnity, that
he, like all Buddhists, deplores
violence, but that he can under-
stand the rage of Cambodia's people.
d. He can indeed. He whipped
it up in a harangue Monday night in
which he charged our latest pro-
posals were an "immense deception,"
insulting to Cambodia.
e. It "proved," says he, that
we and our "lackeys" plan to carve
his country up. He again threatened
to negotiate with the North Vietnamese,
the Pathet Lao, and the Viet Cong
("the forces of the future"), and
if Cambodia were attacked, his Chinese
Communist friends would: come to his
rescue.
f. There are reports Sihanouk
will meet with Ho Chi Minh and Chou
En-lai soon.
g. A high-level Cambodian mili-
tary mission is now in Peiping being
given red-carpet treatment.

3. East Germany -
US Plane Incident
h. Even with all this,
Sihanouk's intentions remain unclear.
In his comments to the press follow-
ing the attack on the embassy, he
expressed "hope" that a quadripartite
conference will normalize relations
nd achieve peace in Southeast Asia.
a. The Soviets have arrested
the three crewmen of the US RB-66
plane they shot down over East Ger-
many yesterday.

44 Cuba
a. The Cuban Air Force seems
plagued with maintenance problems.
5. -111.**0-US a. The Libyans have now asked
us formally to agree to renegotiate
the Wheelus base agreement, in
view of "changed circumstances."
b. At the same time, Prime
Minister Muntassir announced to
Parliament that we and the British
were being asked to talk about the
future of bases in 4177494a.

6. Congo-Angola
c, In neither case was the
statement made that the object was
to get us to leave sooner rather
than later, but it is fairly clear
that this is what the Lybians have
in mind.
a. Though the Portuguese deny
it, we are fairly sure they have
been abetting Tshombe's efforts .
to build a quasimilitary force in
Angola out of some 3,000 Katangan
"refugees," many of them former
gendarmes.
b. Lisbon probably sees this,
in part at least, as a counterweight
to the sanctuary which Leopoldville
is providing Holden Roberto and his
Angolan dissidents.

NOTES
A. Sino-Soviet Dispute Press reports out of Budapest
this morning say that a party summit meeting of the
Soviet bloc will be held in Budapest during Khrushchev's
visit there in early April.
C. USSR-Somalia The first major Soviet delivery of mili-
tary equipment to Somalia apparently is on its way
and will arrive on schedule
D. Bolivia Paz' party adherents have scheduled a rally
for today to demonstrate mass support for Bolivia's
"nationalist, anti-Communist creed." The intention is
to strike back at the anti-Paz alliance of rightists
and Communists. It will mark the first time Paz'
party has assumed a clear cut anti-Communist position.
E. Zanzibar Apparently the flamboyant Okello has been ,
out maneuvered. After refusing him entry and accompany-
ing him back to Dar-es-Salaam yesterday, President
Karume returned to Zanzibar alone.

F. West Germany - West Berlin ?West German parliamen-
tarians are challenging, in a subtle sort of way,
Allied opposition to holding a Bundestag plenary in
Berlin. This week, 25 Bundestag committees and all
three party parliamentary groups are holding meetings
in Berlin, ith the reconstructed portion of the
Reichstag the main assembly point.
