GUATEMALA-UK: London is again concerned that
Guatemala intends to invade British Honduras.
The British, who usually maintain
a 250-man garrison, now have a full battalion in
the colony on maneuvers. They are considering send-
ing an additional battalion as reinforcements.
The US Embassy in Guatemala notes no unusual
military activity., Guatemalan fighter aircraft
that were on alert as a result of Guatemalan con-
cern over British intentions recently were disarmed.
Guatemala reportedly has approximately 1,100 troops
in the eastern Peten near British Honduras.
There is no evidence that Guatemala intends an
invasion at this time or that it would invade un-
less the colony moved toward independence in ad-
vance of a settlement of Guatemala's territorial
claim. Given Guatemala's suspicions, however, Brit-
ish reinforcements could be seen as new evidence
that independence moves-are planned and this could
provoke another crisis.

C USSR: The Luna 20 spacecraft lifted off the
moon's Sea of Fertility last night and is heading
back to earth,probably carrying soil samples. Indi-
cations are that all is going well with the mission
and the capsule is expected to be recovered in the
Soviet Union on 25 February. The probe soft landed
on mountainous terrain two days ago near the location
where Luna 18--also believed to be a soil sampling
mission--crashed last September. In the only suc-
cessful mission of this sort completed to date, Luna
16 also landed in the Sea of Fertility and returned
with less than a pound of soil samples in September
