1. Jet fighters in Cuba
confirmed
2. Laos Developments
50X1
50X1
A partly assembled MIG, probably a 17,
has been spotted on San Antonio air-
field in an aerial photograph taken
15 June. This information means thtt
the previously reported--but still un-
confirmed--shipment, would be the
second such delivery.
50X1
c) The ICC is so organized that the
Poles run the complaints department.
50X1
d) On 16 June Pathet Lao forces clashed
with a South Vietnamese patrol operating
just inside Laos where Route 9 crosses
the border. (See map at back of book.
50X1
e) Late press reporting indicates that
this morning's meeting in Zurich was
confused and acrimonious.

3. LIAR halts press attacks
on USSR
4. Dominican opposition's
approach to US Consulate
5, Bolivian Government
splits on imprisonment
of labor leaders
6. Chinese to per-
suade Nehru to be more
"flexible" in the border
dispute
50X1
Nasir issued the order on 14 June. L.
50X1
1 Pravda has since
printed a new statement, but one so
mildly worded that it probably will
not revive the affair.
'Two sources have reported to the
Consulate that President Balaguer was
unable to control the Trujillo family.
Stating that immediate US armed inter-
vention was the only solution, they pro-
posed to begin a campaign of sabotage
against US holdings in order to "force"
intervention. The Consulate told them
such ?action was Stupid and tends to
discount it as a possibility. 50X1
50X1
Ambassador Stevenson reported on
15 June 'that Vice President Lechin wants
the Communist leaders released. Presi-
dent Paz said that if unity is not
achieved and immediate US financial aid
received, his government will fall
"within a week." We think the loss of
Lechin's support will not by itself
bring Paz down.
50X1
The Chinese are attempting to appear 50X1
reasonable to avoid new charges of
aggression if there are more border
incidents. The Indians also apparently
expect further trouble. We think U Nu
will be reluctant to go along. 50X1

7. Civilians to be appointed
to South Korean economic
ministries
8. Pakistan disappointed
with US
9. Neutralism growing
stronger in Iran
10. French considering setting
up local administrations
in Algeria
The new military leaders probably
realize their inability to deal with
Korea's major economic problems. They
will, however, keep direct control of
the defense ministry and all others
dealing with security, hence the up-
coming changes do not mean a return to
civilian government. 50X1
Pakistan's belief that the US favors
India over Pakistan leads it to en-
courage, press criticism of the US. The
meetings recently held by the World Bank
to coordinate aid to the two countries
are said to have reinforced Ayub's
dissatisfaction. 50X1
This reflects public unhappiness over
delays in reform, the resurgence of the
National Front, and increasing Soviet
psychological pressure. As long as
Premier Amini has the Shah's support,
however, his short-term prospects still
seem to us reasonably good. 50X1
50X1
These would be without participation by
the Provisional Algerian Government,
and would be a form of pressure on the
latter to be more forthcoming at Evian.
The Algerians are playing a 'similar
game in talking of "internationalizing
the conflict." 50X1

11. Congo
12. Plotting in Addis Ababa
50X1
Indian charge
Rahman, has more or less on his own
been supporting Gizenga against Kasa-
vubu. 50X1
The
arrests made by Mobutu are intended to
neutralize the pro-Gizenga parliamentary
bloc. 50X1
LATE ITEM
50X1
various Ethiopian government
leaders are plotting some sort of
political-military action. We are
unable to say more than that somthing
is up and that an attempted coup is
not unlikely.

NOTES
A. The Soviet Central Committee meeting, which we thought would begin
1 1
Saturday, actually was scheduled for this morning. 50X1
B. Ambassador Stevenson has delayed his departure from QuAo and will
fly to Bogota tomorrow morning. Ecuador has been making some anti-
Communist gestures for the occasion. Extreme precautions are being
taken against demonstrations in Bogota.
C. Embassy Seoul has protested to the South Korean Government over its
announcement that Chang To-yong will definitely come to Washington
soon.
D. Ikeda has departed for the US without incident. The planned riots
fizzled.
50X1
F. The railway strike in the Sudan, which may develop into something 50X1
bigger, began Saturday. ,
