*United Nations: Premier Kosygin's press confer-
ence last night was aimed in part at assuaging Arab
fears that the Johnson-Kosygin summit meetings would
result in a softening of Moscow's backing for the Arabs.
The Soviet Premier went down the line in reiterat-
ing Moscow's consistent public position on the Middle
East crisis. He condemned Israeli "aggression" and de-
manded that Israeli troops be withdrawn to prewar lines.
He insisted that Israel should pay reparations and once
again raised the question of sanctions.,
Given the forum at his disposal, Kosygin's propa-
gandistic performance provided no surprises.
Soviet officials have recently
indicated a more realistic view of the situation. They
appear to believe that the Assembly session will not in-
duce the Israelis to withdraw from Arab soil.
The General Assembly debate resumes today after
a two-day break with some 50 countries still tentatively
scheduled to speak. Highlighting the opening of this
week's round will be the speech of King Husayn of Jordan.
The King is expected to emphasize the refugee problem,
stressing in particular Israeli "violation" of the Security
Council resolution on refugees of 14 June.
The imposing list of speakers should insure that
the current session will last beyond this week, thus giv-
ing the separate efforts of the Latin Americans, "non-
aligned" states, and a group of nations sympathetic to
the US position time to develop a compromise between
the US and Soviet resolutions. Thus far, however, these
efforts have made little progress,
The relatively balanced Mexican concept for a
Latin American resolution seems to have been trans-
formed in a working group of Mexico, Chile, Colombia,
Venezuela, Panama, and Trinidad into a memo which now
calls for withdrawal of Israeli forces to the lines existing

on 4 June 1967 as the "prior indispensable basis" for
the establishment of conditions of peace. Full Latin
American support for the six-nation proposal still
seems questionable, however.
Czech em-
bassy official has stated that Yugoslavia will introduce
a non-aligned state's resolution urging Israel to return
to its positions of 4 June but not condemning it as an
aggressor. The Czech claimed that the resolution had
been coordinated with similarly minded delegations at
the UN,
Representatives of a third group of states (Italy,
Ireland, Brazil, Argentina, Canada, UK, Venezuela,
Denmark, the Netherlands, and the US) met on 24 June
to consider a new resolution to be sponsored by some
nation other than the US. Italian Foreign Minister
Fanfani seems to be engaged in promoting such an al-
ternative which would consist of a statement of princi-
ples by the Assembly, including withdrawal of Israeli
forces, and would be subject to Security Council decision.
This group of delegates plus the Japanese had scheduled
another meeting for the night of 25 June.

USSR-Cuba: Premier Kosygin is expected to
leave today for Cuba for what is probably a protocol
and fence-mending stop on his return trip to Moscow.
Kosygin and the Cuban leaders will almost certainly
discuss differences which have recently caused es-
trangement between Moscow and Havana. The Cubans
are upset over Moscow's actions in the Middle East
crisis and view them as another indication that the
Soviets cannot be counted on when the risks are high.
Kosygin will probably urge Castro to be more flexible
in his revolutionary tactics in Latin America and to
stop working at cross-purposes with the pro- Moscow
Communist parties.-

Hong Kong - Communist China: [All-out efforts by
local Communists to mount a general strike in Hong
Kong on 24 June, the eve of the governor's departure,
have failed. The British were largely successful in
preventing Communist intimidation of workers in target
industries, although transportation services were dis-
rupted over the weekend. The Communists provoked
sporadic violence and now may try to counter their re-
cent setbacks with a major memorial service and fu-
neral procession for several workers whose deaths they
blame on the police. Although Peking continues to voice 25X1
encouragement for the local Communists, it has not
referred to its demands of 15 May that the British apol- 25X1 111 __1
ogize for "mistreatment" of the workers.

Hungary: [Cardinal Mindszenty plans to abandon
within the next three months the refuge he took in the
US Mission in Budapest in 1956. An invitation to Rome
from the Pope and the imminent appointment of a US
ambassador to Hungary have provided circumstances
under which the cardinal now feels that he can leave
Hungary without seeming to abandon this principles.
Mindszenty's status has not been an impediment in
US-Hungarian negotiations for some time and has been
bypassed in recent church- state discussions. No sig-
nificant changes in these policy areas are expected as
a result of his departure. 11 1
Bolivia: `Security officials anticipate no further
violence by the tin miners who suffered 16 dead and
61 wounded in a clash with police and army troops on
24 June. The clash was provoked by Communists and
other extremists eager to channel increasing labor un-
rest among the miners into a move against the Barrientos
government. So far there are no signs that the extrem-
ists are succeeding in this aim. More student and miner
agitation could easily develop from the incidents on
24 June, however. Continued violence in the mining
areas would significantly tax the capabilities of the al-
ready hard-pressed regime.
