1. East Africa
a. The injection of British
force has brought a semblance of
public order and quiet, at least
for the time being, to Tanganyika,
Kenya, and Uganda.
b. Ambassador Leonhart, assess-
ing the "wholly new situation" fac-
ing Nyerere, says the Tanganyikan
President must reconstitute not only
his armed forces, but the civil serv-
ice and the rest of the governmental
apparatus as well. He seems to have
"come out fighting" and shows every
sign of a determination to reassert
himself.
c. We are, of course, far from
being out the woods in this part of
the world. British troops are likely
to become a political liability to
the moderate leaders quite quickly.
d. There is a good chance that
radical nationalists like Tanganyika's
Kambona and Kenya's Oginga Odinga may
react to the use of the British troops
by fomenting strikes or mob violence
which the British could find hard to
control.

2. Cyprus
a. The situation is near ?the
flashpoint again.
b. On the island sporadic
violence is keeping communal tempers
frayed, and each side is again arm=?
ing itself, setting up road blocks,
and digging in for trouble.
c. None of the participants
sets much stock in the London talks.
The British fear they have reached
a deadend, and Makarios, for one,
has publicly questioned the value of
continuing.
d. All parties to the dispute,
in increasing measure, are looking
to the US to bail them out by taking
a more active role.

3. Indonesia-
Malaysia
e. The British, who do not
relish being left to cope with new
disorders by themselves, have pro-
posed an international force of
some 10,000 men to keep order. They
believe such a force would require
a US contribution to get it off the
ground.
f. Some such force is favored
by the Greeks, but the Turks have
been dragging their feet, as is
Makarios.
g. ?A routine rotation of a
Greek Army contingent is scheduled
for tomorrow, and supplies are to
be landed for the Turkish contingent
on Wednesday. These moves could lead
to trouble.

umvirate seems to have weathered a

5. China-France
a. A joint communique was
issued this morning in Paris and
Peiping announcing the establishment
of diplomatic relations and the nam-
ing of ambassadors within three months.
b. So far there has been no
reaction from Taipei. As of yester-
day there was no give in Chiang Kai-
shek's decision to break relations
with France immediately after the
Paris announcement.
d. De Gaulle's special emissary
to Taipei returned late last week with
a letter for De Gaulle from Chiang.
The contents have not been made avail-
able to us, either in Paris or Taipei.
e. The director of the Asian
Department of the French Foreign
Ministry, who may or may not be aware
bf its contents, told Embassy Paris
that it was his "impression" Chiang
would not break at once.
f. The official added that this
could lead to difficulties for the
French since Peiping has given no
evidence of a willingness to accept
a two Chinas policy.

6. Congo
7. India-
Pakistan
a. Guerrilla activity in Kwilu
Province shows signs of developing
into the most serious challenge to
Adoula's central government since
the Katanga uprising,
b. The "Jeunesseu bands of
Pierre Mulele, ex-Gizenga aide who
has Peiping and perhaps Moscow back-
ing, are extending their terrorist
activity over a/broader area.
c. These bands now number
about 2,000,and those who have en-
countered them have been struck by
their organization and discipline.
Press accounts have featured their
use of bows, flaming arrowstand
knives, but Mulele's hard core un-
doubtedly has better arms.
d. Adoula has preferred to
deal with the threat with small
groups of gendarmerie,
commando units
of the Congolese Army are being
sent to tie scene;
a. Pakistan may once again
be giving consideration to para-
military actions in Indian-held
Kashmir.

b. Karachi's UN representative
has pointed to this possibility should
his country's resort to the UN prove
ineffectual. He told Ambassador
Stevenson that 20,000 infilitrating
tribesmen would make it extremely
hard on Indian authorities in the
Vale.
c. While his immediate objective
was to generate support for Pakistan's
move to get Security Council considera-
tion of the Kashmir question, we know
that Pakistan was considering just
such a course last year.

C. Brazil Though Goulart has gotten an OK from Paraguay
to go ahead on the huge Sete Quedas power project he
still needs money to finance it.
D. Libya Tripoli was still tense yesterday after two
days ofstudent riots. The streets were being
patrolled by the army and all secondary schools and
universities have been closed for three weeks.
E. Angolan Rebels Holden Roberto plans to dispatch a
mission to Peiping and Moscow to
arrange shipments of arms It is
likely that Adoula will keep a close eye on all
this and will permit only modest amounts of material
and no Communist advisers to reach Roberto's base
areas in the Congo.
