Haiti 5. Korea a. Duvalier is again encourag- ing the Trujillos to come to Haiti. b. The aggressive, troublesome Arismendi, we are sure, would be among those who would accept the in- vitation. He has been trying for some time to get a base in Haiti for operations against the Dominican Republic. a. The situation in Korea remains explosive. b. A street demonstration in Seoul, the largest in two years, developed early today following Defense Minister Kim Sung-un's broadcast claiming the nation's en- tire military force was solidly be- hind the government. c. As the marchers intoned against continued military rule and distributed leaflets, police vans rounded them up. The arrest, at the same time, of outspoken former Presi- dent Yun Po-sun should spark further disorders. d. Government riot squads and police have been put on full alert. _ Declassified in Part - Sanitized Copy Approved for ReTea.se 2015/07724 : CIA-RDP79T00936A001500090001-1 r-i 50X1 t 4 sr---11777ii:=11=7) L- I t Declassified in Part - Sanitized Copy Approved for Release 2015/07/24 : CIA-RDP79T00936A001500090001-1 6, Hungary a. The amnesty announced by Budapest yesterday is by far the most encompassing of three since the revolution. It is intended to meet US and UN cOnditions for im- proving relations. b. Excluded are those convicted of espionage, treason and murder-- crimes with which at least some of the revolutionaries were charged. Even these, however, may petition the government for release. c. We have no reliable esti- mate of how many revolutionaries are still in prison. 7. Somali a. A Somali parliamentary Republic delegation has arrived in Moscow. Despite all the talk of a reorienta- tion of Somali non-alignment policy, ? we note that none in the group is pro-Soviet or known to be anti-US. 50X1 Declassified in Part - Sanitized Copy Approved for Rjese 2015/07/24 : CIA-RDP79T00936A001500090001-1' r7-1- I 1=1 i -1 E-1 =1 =1L=i =1 Declassified in Part - Sanitized Copy Approved for Release 2015/07/24 : CIA-RDP79T00936A001500090001-1 8. Laos a. A military parade is planned in Vientiane for tomorrow's Army Day celebration. b, It will be almost entirely Phoumi's show, as he is planning to display a sizeable contingent. The neutralists, busy fending off the Pathets in the Plaine des Jarres, cannot afford the luxury, and the Pathet Lao, of course, will not have anything to do with it.

Uruguay-Cuba Rather than break relations with Cuba, Uruguay has decided to send another mission to investigate the problem of asylees. There is still strong sentiment for a break in relations, however, and, in order to contain it, the govern- ment has not publicized the recent violation of the embassy premises by the Cuban militia. B. Bolivian air incident Latin American press and rumor mills are having a field day over the Bolivian aircraft incident. Those on the left and far left, taking their cue from radio Havana, cite our extra- ordinary interest in the debris and say we sabo- taged the plane. The other story is that the debris shows the two armed Cubans were in the cockpit at the time of the crash, apparently attempting to hijack the plane. C. Brazil-Communist China /Brazil is urgently investigating the possibilities for developing trade with Communist China. (Cont'd) r WI I.?I .

TOgo G. The situation is improving for Grunitsky. France has recently assured him of its military backing, the thirteen moderate French-speaking African states comprising the Afro-Malagasy Union are warming up to him, and important elements of Olympio's Union Party have endorsed an election plan he has devised to re-establish "legality." His recognition problems should be over soon. Iran Iran's troubles with rebellious tribes quieted somewhat Shipment of relief food supplies the areas should quiet things further. have H. Peru-Bolivian plane crash into fladd another weapon have been found at the site of the plane crash. These will be brought to Lima today along with a microfilm, also found at the crash site.
