1. Laos
2. South Vietnam
a. The rainy weather has slowed
the reinforcement of Muong Soui, and
could encourage the Communists to
renew their attacks.
.b. They probably have already
brought up enough strength to assault
Muong Soui./
We have no firm indica-
tions of Communist intentions.
d. The neutralists continue
to be plagued by disunity.
a. The intensive Viet Cong
activity of the past several days
is continuing.
b. In one attack yesterday on
a special forces camp, the Viet Cong
killed 57 (including 3 US) and
wounded 52 (including 3 other US).

3. India-USSR
c. In another area, the Viet
Cong blew up six bridges during the
night. One Viet Cong taken prisoner
says he was a member of a battalion
from a North Vietnamese Army division.
d. The recent activity has
cost the Vietnamese Government many
casualties and a considerable quan-
tity of weapons.
e. It seems likely that one
purpose of this heightened activity,
which has also been felt in Saigon,
is to respond to the arrival of
General Taylor on the scene.
a. Shastri has reassured Mos-
cow of his personal commitment to
Nehru's nonaligned foreign policy.
b. he took this line 50X1
with Mikoyan when the latter was in
New Delhi last month. Presumably
he wished to conciliate the Russians
who doubtless looked askance at his
acceptance of long-term military
aid from the US.
c. There are several Indian
arms deals with the Russians in the
works. Deliveries of surface-to-
air missile equipment are to start
next month.

4. Rumania-USSR
d. Defense Minister Chavan is
scheduled to visit Moscow in August,
apparently to speed up arrangements
for the MIG aircraft plant project.
a. A high-ranking delegation
from Bucharest led by number-two man
Maurer showed up in Moscow yesterday.
b. The Rumanians have been
working fast to make their new inde-
pendent outlook felt, especially in
the West and to soothe ruffled
feathers in the bloc.
c. Moscow may be sounding out
the possibilities for Rumanian attend-
ance at an interparty conference.
Such a conference, attended by
selected Communist parties, is being
discussed as a way to restore at
least a facade of unity among Mos-
cow's supporters in the Sino-Soviet
dispute.
d. Almost any deal Moscow might
make with Rumania now, however,
would be interpreted as implying
acceptance of Rumania's independent
position.

5. Soviet Foreign Aid
a. Soviet economic aid credits
to non-Communist countries during
1964 may become the largest ever.
b. An estimated $660 million
has been extended through June, com-
pared to $859 million for the entire
peak year of 1959.
c. Already committed this
year are $325 million for steel mills
in Algeria and India,and $280 million
for Egypt's new five-year plan.
d. Moscow now appears to be
directing its aid efforts among
underdeveloped countries toward
long-term gains rather than an im-
mediate spectacular splash. The
Soviets have been taking a closer
look at the prospects of success
before underwriting a recipient's
economic plans.
e. They still act with flexi-
bility, however. A recent Chinese
Communist aid program in Kenya was
countered by a quick Soviet offer,

6. Greece
a. The outcome of last Sunday's
nationwide municipal elections sug-
gests that Papandreou's Center Union
government may have begun to slip.
b. Leftist and pro-Communist
candidates won more than half of the
230 mayoralty contests. Karamanlis'
right-of-center party also made
slight gains over its last showing
in local elections.
c. The Center Union's poor
performance will not endear Papan-
dreou to his parliamentary delegation.
Greece's external polices are un-
likely to be affected, however.
Foreign relations and Cyprus were
not issues in these elections.

NOTES
A. Syria The situation on the Syrian-Israeli
border is warming up again. As usual, it is
difficult to tell which side is responsible
for starting the two-hour scrap that occurred
yesterday in the Hula area, as both sides are
claiming foul./
C.
Haiti The army has still been unable to
catch the small bands of rebels who managed
to get ashore in small boats last week. There
has been at least one further skirmish, and
Duvalier has ordered the destruction of a
couple of villages because the country-folk
in the vicinity are thought to be sympathetic
to the rebels. Duvalier is also complaining
to the Security Council and the OAS about the
presence of two Dominican Coast Guard frigates
off Haiti's north coast.

D. Indonesia Any lingering doubt
about Sukarno's
intentions is dispelled that he decided
to
double the guerrilla effort against Malaysia.
All current Indonesian operations against main-
land Malaysia and Singapore are being recon-
sidered with a view to increasing activity.
