he can persuade Tshombe not to
attack Stanleyville now, but he
is not so sure once Tshombe
achieves an "independent" air
force manned by South Africans.
e. Congolese Army and mer-
cenary elements at Bukavu are still
mopping up rebel remnants from
Tuesday's attack on Bukavu. The
defenses now are reported in good
shape.

tion in the Southern Demilitarized
Zone on the Israeli-Syrian border
drew Syrian fire on Wednesday. An
Israeli tractor had edged across
the UN de facto "Black" line.

NOTES
A. Chile We hear that the president-elect Frei
intends to establish diplomatic relations with
the USSR--but not with Communist China or East
Germany
B. Argentina Important sectors of the labor
movement have now refused to join in the 24-
hour general strike called by Peronist labor
leaders for Monday, during De Gaulle's visit.
Cancellation of the strike is a virtual cer-
tainty.
C. UN U Thant may move to stall off any showdown
over depriving Moscow of its General Assembly
vote. An aide says that U Thant will propose
that the ICJ again be asked for an advisory
opinion on Article 19 of the charter if he
thinks a move to invoke it would not get the
majority support he "profoundly hopes" for.
The aide claims such support does not now
exist.
D. USSR The Soviets, long concerned over their
shrinking stock of gold, are finally diverting
to the gold industry investment funds from
other extractive industries. They have upped
the 1965 production goal by ten percent, and
we would expect to see gold worth $210-$215
million produced during the year. However,
they still seem hesitant to invest to the ex-
tent required to sustain a significant growth
in production.
