1. Laos a. The muddle in Vientiane
is not likely to be clarified soon.
b. The "revolutionary mili-
tary committee"--the general's
group--is pressing Souvanna to
revamp his cabinet, government
structure, and army promptly along'
lines they urged on him earlier
this week.
c. Souvanna, however, is in
no hurryi
The military committee in turn has
announced that meanwhile it will
continue to run the show.
d. The Pathet Lao, of course,
say that any change in the govern-
ment violates the Geneva accords.
They want another three-faction
summit.
e. Kong Le, yesterday, voiced
support for the compromise reached
in Vientiane, and, insofar as one
can count on anything in Laos,
this should ease friction between
rightist and neutralist troops out-
side the capital.

2, Zanzibar
f. Peiping has injected a
new note by saying the situation
in Laos is "insepAyable" from the
US policy of "aggression and inter-
vention" in South Vietnam and
Cambodia.
g. This is a most explicit
repudiation of Souvanna's claim
that while ne was. in Peiping two weeks
ago the Chinese agreed with him
that the problems of Laos are
separate from those of Cambodia
and Vietnam.
a. Zanzibari Foreign Minister
Babu arrives in Nairobi this after-
noon and is returning to Zanzibar
tomorrow.
b. On his departure from
Pakistan, he told the press that
he favored the idea of Union with
Tanganyika.
c. On the surface, this would
appear to reduce the likelihood of
an immediate showdown, but we doubt
that Babu would say anything else
if he wanted to get back in.
d. Kambona is also in Nairobi
today for more talks with Kenyatta.
He most likely will meet with .Babu
while there.

e. Kenyatta has agreed to
the commitment of British troops
to disarm Babu's followers, pro-
vided Nyerere or Karume ask for
them.
g. Nyerere remains confident
all will go well.
h. Articles of union which
he and Karume signed on Wednesday
are still being debated by govern-
ment parties both in Dar-es-Salaam
and on the island, and this has
delayed ratification, perhaps only
until tomorrow.
i. Karume is to become first
vice president of the union govern-
ment under Nyerere. Zanzibar will
retain a large measure of autonomy
in local affairs while foreign
affairs, defense, internal security,
finance, and planning will be
managed from Dar-es-Salaam.

3. France - Sino-Indian a.
Border
/De Gaulle has
proposed to Nehru that a neutral
commission be formed to mediate
the Sino-Indian border dispute.
c. The Chinese Communists
have encouraged mediation proposals,
which give them a chance to appear
reasonable, but they have refused
to accept binding arbitration and
still do.
d. Nehru would be reluctant
to reject the idea outright but
has political problems to contend
with on this issue and will
probably stall.
e. We think De Gaulle is
trying to demonstrate the validity
of his propositioa# that if the
Chinese can be brought out of
isolation, they will behave.

NOTES
A. Panama The possibility of serious violence
grows as the May 10 presidential elections draw
near. Arnulfo Arias, who has strong support
among the poor, is clearly widening his lead
and this has the. entrenched oligarchy worried.
They are likely to resort to stronger, more
flagrant steps to prevent his election, which
could in turn provoke massive disorders.
B. Congo The loose collection of exiles operating
against the Adoula government out of Brazzaville,
which calls itself the "Committee of National
Liberation," may be ready to try something soon.
It probably cannot pull off a coup, but it
might be able to murder Adoula or Mobutu and
thereby bring on chaos.
