Laos: High levels of Communist truck traffic
continue along Route 7 connecting North Vietnam with
the Plaine des Jarres.
On 14 November, a Meo roadwatch team re-
ported a convoy of 120 trucks moving toward the
Plaine. This is the largest single convoy sighted
since the Communists resumed major resupply ac-
tivity in late September. Laotian Air Force attempt
to interdict the road have thus far not been effective
Recently stepped-up Communist activity in the
Tha Thom region probably reflects the improved
logistical situation on the Plaine. There have been
reports of substantial Communist reinforcements
arriving north of Tha Thom from the Plaine area.

In Vientiane, meanwhile, continuing suspicions
among the rightist elements have given rise to new
coup rumors. Although there does not appear at
present to be any solid foundation to these rumors,
they point up the persistence of deep-seated rival-
ries which keen the government unstable-

Guinea: President Sekou Toure's control is
threatened. for the first time since Guinea's inde-
pendence in 1958.
Sweeping administrative measures announced
by Tour6 last week appear to have intensified a long
simmering conflict between him and powerful mem-
bers of the ruling party. Changes included a cabi-
net and administrative shake-up, which downgraded
or banished to the provinces several important per-
sonalities, and a return to full state control over
domestic and foreign trade.
The crisis may come to a head. on 19 November
when the party's top council holds an emergency
meeting. Opposition to Tourd may coalesce around
Finance Minister Saifoulaye Diallo, who has been
number-two man in both government and party and.
who is a representative of the Fulani, the country's
largest tribal group. In a showdown Tourd probably
would receive the support of the defense minister,
whose security forces have been playing an increas-
ing role lately.

who were dominant before Tourd came to power, also
The crisis arises from domestic, economics and
tribal factors rather than any discontent with Tourd's
increasing Western orientation. Unhappiness over
inflation and corruption is widespread, and. the Fulani,

NOTES
Israel: After a long intraparty struggle, Prime
Minister Eshkol's control over the Mapai Party has
been reaffirmed in a development unrelated to last
week's border clash with Syria. His chief critic,
former prime minister Ben-Gurion, resigned from
the Mapai central committee on 15 November, after
it approved Eshkol's proposal for an electoral align-
ment with a left-wing member of the governing co-
alition, Achdut Haavoda. Ben Gurion's disruptive
activities have shaken the Mapai, however, and may
in time lead to a weakening of its dominance of the

 IMENEMM:
Malaysia: Anti-Malaysia demonstrations in two
towns in Sarawak on 15 November probably were in-
spired by the Communist-controlled Sarawak Advanced
Youth Association. The protests were timed to under-
cut the federation government's current campaign to
emphasize the loyalty of all major communities to
Malaysia. The association, with an estimated hard-
core membership of 1,500 indigenous Chinese, under-
takes subversion largely independent of Indonesia,
and is regarded by the UK as a potentially serious
threat to Malaysia.
