Malaysia's effort to mus- ter support in the UN for condemn- ing Indonesian aggression is not making much headway. j. UN members generally feel that both sides should try again to work out their differences within an "Asian framework." 50X1 50X1 50X1 T....

South Vietnam a. Animosity between the South Vietnamese and Cambodian regimes is heating up. b. Saigon yesterday charged that Phnom Penh's military had aided the Viet Cong in four recent border. fracases. It warned that "grave consequences" may follow and said that Phnom Penh would be held responsible. c. The Vietnamese are think- ing of taking steps to prevent recurrences. One idea under study is to tighten controls over traf- fic to Phnom Penh via the Mekong River. e. For his part, Sihanouk is becoming more irritated over the "hot-pursuit" incursions into Cambodia by South Vietnamese regu- lars after Viet Cong units.

North Vietnam - Laos f. Sihanouk has strengthened his border guard units with naval boats and AA weapons. This, we think, increases the chances for more border clashes. g. Our embassy in Phnom Penh reports-an atmosphere of tension in the,city. It has learned that contingency plans are being made for evacuation of government per- sonnel in the event of an attack by. South Vietnam a. Hanoi, perhaps worried over possible bombings of facili- ties along its infiltration and supply routes into Laos, may be trying to reduce their vulnerability. b. Aerial reconnaissance of an important military camp on the border shows work in progress to protect buildings. There is also an indication that underground fa- cilities there may be undergoing expansion. ? c. .Two other camps along major supply routes appear aban- doned and buildings have been torn down. , (Cont 'd) TL., D.....:.J...-a r1-1..

Cyprus d. We do not think that the abandonment of these facilities means Hanoi intends to cut back its active support for the insur- gents in Laos-anclSouth Vietnam. Rather, we'regard it as evidence of a dispersal of open and concen- trated installations. a. Turkey has tempered its threat to force through food and other supplies to Turkish Cypriots in the Kokkina area. b. Ankara now says it will permit UN control of shipments-to guarantee that no military materiel is smuggled in. But Inonu cautioned that if Nicosia interfered:with this procedure he would regard it as an aggressive act. c. According to UN officials, supply levels in Kokkina are"rea- sonabIy satisfactory." They think the Turkish attitude is unjustified. d. In view of this, the Turks have proposed a TurkiSh-UN inves- tigation into the Kokkina situa- tion and have indicated they would hold off supply shipments pending the findings. We have not yet heard the UN reply, (Cont'd) TL..

Congo e. The Turkish military pos- ture remains substantially unchanged, Intensive training of all military units seems to be the order of the day a. The government's move to stiffen the defenses of Coquilhat- ville has not yet eliminated the panic among army units there. The chances of holding the city do not seem good unless the panic subsides. b. In the east, the govern- ment offensive north from Albert- ville has paused c. Tshombe reportedly re- turned to Leopoldville yesterday. 50X1 50X1 50X1 50X1 50X1 50X1 Declassified in Part - Sanitized Copy Approved for Release 2015/07/24 : CIA-RDP79T00936A003100010001-1 Declassified in Part - Sanitized Copy Approved for Release 2015/07/24 : CIA-RDP79T00936A003100010001-1 NOTES 50X1 50X1 50X1 50X1 B. Cuba ?A floating dock, fishing being designed by the'USSR port, has been com- for Havana's new pleted and is now towed to Cuba C. Sinci-Soviet Relations the border talks which began in Peiping early this year, have been suspended .and will resume later in Moscow. Some agreement re- portedly has been reached on the Central Asian frontier, .but disputes over sections in the .Far East remain unresolved. Even if the talks are resumed, we think that a settlement is un- likely in view of the determination of each side to exploit territorial issues to discredit the other. D. Uruguay More disturbances may be brewing in the wake of Montevideo's break with Havana. US property and personnel may be special tar- gets of Communist-inspired violence.

Further examination of an early August mission has turned up still another ICBM complex with single silo launchers. b. This one, at Aleysk north of Semipalatinsk, has three launch areas about five miles apart and a support facility. Like the three other single silo complexes we spotted earlier, it is in the mid- stage of construction. c. We have now identified a total of 15 or 16 single silos at the four complexes. Some of them could be operational by mid- 1965. 50X1 50X1 ? TOP SECRET Declassified in Part - Sanitized Copy Approved for Release 2015/07/24 : CIA-RDP79T00936A003100010001-1
