Cyprus (as avail- able to CIA at 0830 EDT) a. The tenuous cease-fire arranged between Ankara and Nicosia last night remains most fragile. b. Gunfire is continuing in the Kokkina and Nicosia areas. c.

So far, Greek military reaction has been limited to the fly-over yesterday. But 50X1 Athens insists it must intervene if Turkish troops land in strength. h. Turkish staff officers reportedly have said Greek inter- vention would mean war. Both Greek and Turkish forces in Thrace are on the alert and villages on both sides of the border have been evacuated. i. Athens, seeking a way out, is insisting that Makarios enforce the cease-fire. j. So far, the only Soviet response to Makarios' request for military assistance has been Khru- shchev's expression of "sympathy" and his call to the Turks to stop military operations.

China - North Vietnam c. Peiping, in its state- ments,is now stressing its "right" to assist Hanoi "in every possible form." A central committee member warned at a rally yesterday of China's determination "by practical deeds to volunteer aid." This could be a buildup to acknowledge- ment of what has already been sent-- or it could mean more is coming. d. While the North Vietnamese have not yet rejected the UN's invitation to appear, yesterday Hanoi formally rejected the compe- tence of the Security Council to consider the situation.
