1.
Cyprus: Greek military convoys cleared
the port area at Limassol on Monday, Tuesday.
and Wednesday nights.
The Greek reinforcement is now showing up
in the building of more field and coastal
defense positions and the deployment of heavy
guns.
Insofar as he is able, Papandreou wants
to reserve Greek regulars for use against an
invasion from Turkey. He has issued strict
orders that they avoid tangling with the Turkish
Cypriots.
As this goes on, the Turks are getting
edgy. The military staged a paradrop exercise
Tuesday near Ankara which looked very much
like a rehearsal for Cyprus.
They claim the Greeks are getting ready
to move against Turkey from Thrace, and may use
this to justify a buildup of their own in this
area. Turkish forces, however, have not been
put on the alert.
On Cyprus itself the pattern of only
sporadic and isolated shootings persists as
it has for some time now.
This could mean that Grivas and the Greeks
are getting the more irresponsible of the Greek
Cypriot "fighters" under their thumbs.

2. Congo: Things have not been going
smoothly for Tshombe.
He had to cancel his appearance at the
OAU meeting in Cairo after his stated inten-
tion to attend led to a shocked outcry from
Africa's leading nationalists. This stung
Tshombe. At one point he was threatening to
close the UAR, Algerian, and Ghanaian embassies
in retaliation.
His efforts to put down the eastern Congo
rebels are not yet off the ground. Tshombe
wants to move quickly, especially in North
Katanga, but the instruments at hand are no
better than Adoula had.
His strong arm minister of interior,
Godefroid Munongo, is trying to rectify this
by recruiting former Katangan gendarmes. So
far he has enrolled 2,000, but they will need
arming and training before taking to the bush
against the rebels.
Munongo has also been flying about Katanga
trying to rally the dispirited Congolese Army.
He has met only limited success.
The head of Union Miniere rates as poor
Tshombe's chances of making headway against
his varied external and internal enemies.

3. Pakistan: Ayub is to meet with Turkish
President Gursel and the Shah of Iran in Istan-
bul on Monday. We expect that new regional
�cooperation arrangements in economic, technical,
and cultural affairs will result.
While Ayub, still smarting over US aid
to India, hopes that the new links will down-
grade CENTO, we see no signs that the other
two will help him kick over the traces.
The Iranians, for example, say that Ayub
wanted a formal political tie-up but was unable
to budge the Iranians or the Turks on this.
Yet another facet of Pakistan's "new
policy trend" has been coming-to light in
statements by Ayub in London at the Common-
wealth conference.
He has subscribed to the need for a new
14-nation conference on neutralizing Laos. He
followed this up by saying that Pakistan would
not get involved in a confrontation between
China and the US in Southeast Asia.
All the same, Ayub apparently does not
for the moment intend an abrupt pull out from
either CENTO or SEATO.
4. South Vietnam: Three more battalion-sized
Viet Cong actions this week have pushed the
total of such actions to a record eight this
month. This is, in fact, more than in any two-
month period so far.
