1. Laos
a. The principals emerged all
smiles from yesterday's meeting in
the Plaine des Jarres, having agreed
that forces would remain intact and,
tentatively, on the following distribu-
tion of portfolios: for Vientiane,
Education (Phoumi) and Finance; for
Souphannouvong, Information; for
Souvanna himself, Defense and Interior.
Remaining key cabinet posts, including
Foreign Affairs, go to the neutralists.
b. Phoumi is hopeful that today's
session will settle remaining questions
and draft an agreement.
? c. Souphannouvong may yet prove
sticky. He will try to hold out for
a 7-3 distribution of the neutralist
portfolios in favor of the Xieng
Khouang "neutrals," Phoumi wants 6-4)
and he has withheld approval so far
of the proposal that major questions
regarding defense and interior be
decided unanimously by the three.
d. The North Vietnamese and Pathet
Lao continue to force pro-Souvanna
troops out of positions in the northern
border area. Their arrogance and high
handed tactics have at least put the
neutralist group on its guard. The
neutralist commander in Phong Saly
is now talking of joining other Lao
factions in an effort to prevent ?the
North Vietnamese and Communist Chinese
from taking over Laos.

Nehru told Gore- 50X1
Booth there had been no final decision,
but that his government was "predisposed"
to the MIGs. He said he would be
glad to see Sandys next week
Inonu has yet to form a new govern-
ment. He probably is awaiting develop-
ments in the opposition Justice Party
which has now come under control of
those willing to cooperate with him.
The military have given Inonu a free
hand so far, but they are making plans
to take over if he fails to form an
effective cabinet soon.

5, Berlin
6. Late Laos item
a. The USSR yesterday presented
each of the three Western powers in
Berlin with a note protesting "provoca-
tions" by West Berlin police; we assume
this refers to recent instances wherein
West Berlin police have returned the
fire of East German border police.
b. The Soviet controller at the
Berlin Air Safety Center has gain
asserted the view that the Soviets
have equal right to operate in the
corridors. Protesting our use of
the corridors for round-robin flights,
the Soviet official pointed out that
the corridors extend all the way from
Berlin to Frankfurt, Hanover and
Hamburg and implied we might see
some non-stop Soviet flights over
West Germany.
Late press reports this morning
suggest that little further was
accomplished at today's meeting in
Khang Khay. We are awaiting details.
Another meeting is scheduled for
Monday.

NOTES
A. The USSR launched another second-generation ICBM from Tyuratam
yesterday. This was the eighth straight successful firing of
this missile to Kamchatka this year.
B. The Communist Party in Mexico, having failed to get any support
from other leftist groups, appears ready to give up the idea of
mass demonstrations during President Kennedy's visit.
Cuba will give up its fight 50X1
for the Latin American Security Council seat in favor of Brazil,
because Brazil's presence would be "more useful" for Cuba. Cuba may

D. The atmosphere in Caraeas remains extremely tense in the wake of
the Puerto Cabello affair.
. In San Salvador, more student demonstrations against Mbscoso and,
the US were scheduled for last night, but the absence of reporting
suggests they were no more serious'thanthose of the night before.
F. De Gaulle gives a nation-wide address today at 3 PM Washington
time.
