1.
27 November 1964
Congo: Rebel resistance is stiffer than
expected, with substantial numbers still fight-
ing in and near Stanleyville. Van Der Walle
does not think he can mount a major operation
outside the city for several days.
The situation in Paulis is similar. The
rebels are reported to have trickled back into
Punia after Van Der Walle's move through. In the
Uvira-Kindu-Albertville triangle, rebels may
have recovered some strength.
Thus far no rebel leaders have been re-
ported captured. They could regroup and ob-
tain assistance from the outside.
an Algerian plane has made two more de-
liveries of arms to the rebels through Uganda
and that ammunition of Chinese Communist origin
is being sent through Tanganyika and Burundi.
In various African capitals anti-US and
anti-Belgian demonstrations are continuing.
Moscow sent a protest note to the UN for cir-
culation to the members but did not call for
a Security Council session.1

2. South Vietnam: Martial law has been de-
clared in Saigon for 30 days beginning today,
and the police have been put under military
command.
Ambassador
Johnson intends to urge Khanh to issue a state-
ment of support.
Members of the High National Council told
Johnson they still think Huong should make some
changes in his government but not under "mob
pressure." Tam Chau, who has recommended that
the council dismiss Huong,is slated to talk
with Chief of State Suu today. This may re-
sult in a decision whether to continue Bud-
dhist demonstrations.
As Ambassador Taylor departed for Washing-
ton, both Moscow and Peiping warned the US
against extending the war northward. The USSR
said it could not "remain indifferent" and
would give Hanoi "necessary assistance." The
Chinese said they have indicated "more than
once that an attack on North Vietnam is an at-
tack on China," but they did not define what
constitutes an attack.
3. UN: Secretary General U Thant is sponsor-
ing a plan which could postpone a showdown on
Article 19.

Under the plan, the General Assembly,
when it convenes on 1 December, would deal
only with issues which could be approved by
acclamation and would require no voting. In
the meantime, a special committee would study
the financing question. Response to the idea
has been good but the Soviet delegate has been
noncommittal.
For their part, the Soviets have proposed
that a small informal committee including
U Thant, Stevenson, and Federenko be set up to
look into the financial problem and report be-
fore the end of this assembly or the beginning
of the next.
Moscow's final response to U Thant's plan
probably will not be forthcoming until Gromyko
arrives in New York, but UN officials believe
that some arrangement for postponing the Article
19 confrontation will be worked out.
4. USSR-MLF: Moscow is stepping up its cam-
paign to fan Western opposition to MLF.

5. USSR: The Soviets seem to be readying a
new space venture, probably a Mars probe.
6. Brazil: No disturbances have occurred
thus far following the federal takeover of
Goias state yesterday, but armed forces there
and elsewhere in Brazil are alerted.
Borges, removed from the governorship,
remains free. Several other "subversive"
Goias officials have been arrested.
Under the constitution, the federal legis-
lature must approve the intervention decree and
will probably consider the matter this weekend.
If it is rejected, the government would have to
reinstate Borges, but the Branco regime believes
it can win the vote.
7. Cuba: Rumors about trouble in Havana
are circulating in Cuba in the wake of CaStro's
suspension last week of "old-line" Communist
Joaquin Ordoqui.
According to the rumors, which we cannot
confirm, Ordoqui's comrades are trying to take
over from Castro and his neo-Communist adher-
ents.

8. India: Kerala state could well go Com-
munist again next February when state elections
are held.
The two Communist parties there appear
to be working toward an electoral alliance.
The local Congress Party's ineptness and the
national government's bungling of the food
crisis have played into the Communists' hands.
A Communist victory would be a considerable
blow to Shastri.

11.
Hungary: Party boss Kadar, like Dej in
Rumania and Novotny in Czechoslovakia, appar-
ently is determined to continue his more
independent course in relations with the bloc.
Kadar does not appear to have altered his
position as a result of his subsequent visit
to Moscow.
12, Laos: Neutralist forces are hoping to
launch another operation against Phou Kout
hill around 2 December.)
Our embassy
in Vientiane thinks it has a fair chance to
succeed this time.
13. British Guiana: We expect a close vote
on 7 December and
Jagan's party is likely to win a
plurality but not a majority under the new
proportional representation system. The
prospective anti-Jagan coalition partners
are already squabbling.
