2. Tanganyika
a. At least two ICBM's were
fired from the Tyuratam rangehead
last night, one to the more distant
Pacific impact area and one to
Kamchatka.
a. Events of the past 24 hours
have done little to clarify the
situation.
b. We still have no firm fix
on the status of moderate and popu-
lar President Nyerere.
c. A short, recorded speech,
attributed to him, was broadcast
yesterday over Dar-es-Salaam radio.
Ambassador Leonhart thought that it
was carefully drawn to avoid offend-
ing the leaderless army and that
Nyerere's own views were concealed.

3. Cyprus
d. Late press reports describe
a Nyerere tour of the capital today;
this, if it occurred, would mark the
president's first public appearance
since the disturbances began.
e. Yesterday the army mutiny
spread to the other battalion of
the Tanganyikan army deep in the
interior. Armed civilians have ap-
sarently joined the Dar-es-Salaam
mutineers, and public order is ten-
uous.
a. The uneasy peace was punc-
tured by several incidents of vio-
lence yesterday, including a gun
battle between Greek Cypriot police
and armed Turkish Cypriots.
b. Both communities are press-
ing ahead with their preparations
for a renewal of violence if the
London conference collapses. These
talks may be nearing an impasse.

4. Panama
d. The Turkish Cypriots are
still holding out for an arrangement
which will physically separate them
from the Greek Cypriots. The latter
will have none of this.
a. Things are fairly quiet for
the moment, but the Communists, we
hear, are getting ready for more vio-
lence.

5. France - Com-
munist China
d. Pro-Castro agitator Thelma
King is scheduled to leave Panama
tomorrow for Moscow and Peiping, re-
turning by way of Cairo, Algiers
and Havana.
e. While in Moscow she says
she will try to follow up on what
she describes as Castro's efforts
to get aid for Panama from Khrushchev.
f. Panamanian officials, mean-
time, continue to take a firm line
toward the US. The new Panamanian
representative to the OAS, for ex-
ample, says he will be "energetic
and hard" in pressing Panama's claims.
g. Chiari is- now said to be
giving thought to postponing the
Panamanian elections from May to
June.
a. French news outlets have
been circulating the story that
Chou En-lai may visit Paris.

b. We do not discount this
possibility. Chou presumably would
be available after he finishes his
swing through East Africa starting
next week.
c. The French of course are
counting on Taipei's breaking rela-
tions with Paris and might use a
Chou visit as a goad if the announce-
ment (perhaps later in the week) of
French recognition does not precipi-
tate the break.
6. Ethiopia - Com- a. The first nation to follow
munist China the De Gaulle lead may be Ethiopia.
b. Ambassador Korry points to
Haile Selassie's unprecedented move
in receiving a Chinese Communist
delegation during a high Ethiopian
religious holiday last Monday.
c. Korry thinks this could
mean that the Emperor has decided
to recognize Peiping and to receive
Chou En-lai in Addis Ababa. The
Emperor hinted as much to a US news-
man shortly after his meeting with
Chou's emissaries.

NOTES
A. Maphilindo Tunku Rahman told Attorney General
'Kennedy yesterday that he was agreeable to a Malay-
sian-Philippine-Indonesian meeting at any level ex-
cept the summit. He suggested a meeting at the
ministerial level in Bangkok for a starter. The
Malaysians are obviously not happy with Sihanouk's
attempt to muscle the Thais out of the picture, which
they attribute, quite accurately, to Macapagal.
C.
Spain-Cuba The Spanish-government has approved the
sale to Cuba of a 13,000-ton ship now under construc-
tion in Bilbao.
D. Latin America The long-delayed Congress to set up
a Latin America labor front for Castro and the Com-
munists is due to get under way in Brazil on Friday.
Aside from setting up the new organization, the Con-
gress, which will probably include representatives
from several Communist nations, will offer yet another
forum for anti-American agitation.

E.
Dominican Republic - Cuba High ranking Dominicans
have again been floating offers of assistance to
anti-Castro Cubans in the US.
F. Laos The agreement Monday between Premier Souvanna
Phouma and Pathet Lao chieftain Souphannouvong to
neutralize the old royal capital of Luang Prabang
and move the government there is likely to run into
stiff opposition from right-wing leader Phoumi.
Phoumi's cooperation is needed to bring the agree-
ment to reality, and he wants first to see equivalent
concessions from the Communist side.
G. Hungary-US There has been some reduction in Hungarian
jamming of VOA (and BBC) transmissions, and the for-
eign ministry in Budapest has indicated that it will
be stopped completely in a short time. Rumania cut
out jamming VOA last summer.
