*Laos: L Neutralist fort s have reoccupied positions
in the Muong Kheung area
armored units, accompanied by elements of two
neutralist infantry battalions, yesterday moved back
into the Muong Kheung emplacements they had aban-
doned on 24 May.
In Vientiane, there are signs of mounting rightist
dissatisfaction with Souvanna's coalition. Inpeng Suryadhay,
a leading right-wing political figure, addressed the Na-
tional Assembly yesterday and called for further "im-
provements" in the government and for the withdrawal
from Laos of the "useless" International Control Com-
mission. Expressing his opposition to another Geneva
Conference, Inpeng called instead'for military action
against the Communists.
25X1
Other rightist leaders recently have criticized
Souvanna for failing to provide decisive leadership.
Meanwhile, the Pathet Lao line appears to be
hardening toward Souvanna. In a statement broadcast
yesterday, Pathet Lao leader Souphannouvong asserted
that Souvanna had "destroyed" the coalition government,
and could no longer be considered premier of the coali-
tion.

ouphannouvong's charge probably reflects an in-
creasingly tough attitude on the part of Hanoi and Pei-
ping. Neither capital has backed the recent French
proposal for an international conference, nor have
they followed Moscow's lead in publicly declaring con-
tinued support for Souvanna's coalition,

Congo: The military Situation in the Kivu region
Of th7e -eastern Congo is rapidly deteriorating.
The Congo National Army (ANC) in Kivu lacks
effective field leadership and some units have disin-
tegrated in the face of attacks by rebel bands. The
rebels, who until recently have been primitively
armed, have captured considerable numbers of mod-
ern weapons from the ANC and vehicles from Euro-
peans in the area.
The insurgents do not yet directly threaten the
major city of Bukavu, but their successes may prompt
dissidents within the city to join them. The city's
garrison, which is partly locally recruited, might
not offer much resistance.
Premier Adoula has expressed an intention to
send reinforcements from Stanleyville and an elite
paracommando battalion from Leopoldville to Kivu.
US-provided reconnaissance aircraft for the ANC in
Kivu are expected to arrive within a week. Yesterday
the Adoula government requested the UN to send some
of its few remaining troops in the Congo to Kivu. As
all the UN troops are scheduled to leave the Congo by
the first week in June, they will be of only limited
help unless new arrangements are made.
The sad performance of the ANC in Kivu appears
to be encouraging other Congolese dissidents. There
are some signs that antigovernment outbreaks will
soon occur elsewhere. The ANC has almost no more
effective manpower upon which it can dr-mv

*South Korea: Interference by a group of para-
troopers with court proceedings last week has trig-
gered a new crisis within the Pak government.
On 21 May thirteen armed paratroopers invaded
the court buildings in Seoul where cases involving
student demonstrators were being handled, and broke
into the responsible judge's home. They demanded
warrants for the arrest of all offending students.
E'he incident appears to have been part of an at-
tempt by government strong man Kim Chong-pil to
maneuver President Pak Chong-hui into taking severe
measures to halt the sporadic demonstrations that
Although the paratrooper incident appears to
have stirred wide public shock and disapproval, stu-
dent demonstrations to protest the incident do not
seem to have generated much popular support. Yes-
terday some 6,000 students demonstrated in Seoul
and three other cities. CContinued student protests
provide an element of antigovernment mass action
which opposition party leaders are trying to exploit
to bring down the Pak administration.,)
The continued student unrest may be building
support within the army for stronger government
action. This again raises the question of armed,
forces involvement in politics less than a year after
Pak re-established civilian -overnment_
