Cyprus a. The weekend alert of Greek Cypriot forces was touched off by rumors of a military coup in Turkey, show- ing once again how little it takes to raise temperatures on Cyprus these days. c. For their part the Greeks seem bent on creating a force which can delay a Turkish invasion until outside help can be brought to bear. They are also worried that the Turks may resort to guerrilla war- fare which could be very tough to handle. d. The Turkish Government alleges that 2,700 Greek military personnel have landed on Cyprus in the last ten days. The Turks say this could be the prelude to a Greek attack, perhaps today. Turkish spokesmen are again talking inter- vention. 50X1 50X1 50X1 50X1 For The President Only - Top Secret Declassified in Part - Sanitized Copy Approved for Release 2015/07/24 : CIA-RDP79T00936A002800110001-4 Declassified in Part - Sanitized Copy Approved for Release 2015/07/24 : CIA-RDP79T00936A002800110001-4 2, Italy 3. British Guiana a. As Segni takes up the thread of his consultations on a new government, the three coalition partners of the Christian Democrats have called for a reconstitution of the Moro government. b. Christian Democratic leaders meet today,and there is no assurance that they will support another try at a center-left regime. They may be pushed in this direc- tion by a distaste for new elections which they share with their Social- ist associates. c. Police throughout the country are on the alert lest ex- tremists of the right and left try to take advantage of the confusion. a. A harried Jagan is casting about for some means of extricating himself from his difficulties. b. He is trying to line up US support for a coalition govern- ment in which his party and Burn- ham's would have a rough parity.

Cambodia e. Another possibility, which may not recommend itself to Jagan, is /for a five-year UN trustee- ship under New Zealand. a. Sihanouk is having second thoughts about the wisdom of estab- lishing permanent UN control posts along the Cambodian - South Vietnamese border.

Communist Agriculture c. He was doubtless influenced in this by De Gaulle, who, wheeled out all his considerable powers of persuasion to convince the Cambodian prince that UN involve- ment in Southeast Asia would be un- fortunate. d. US officials in Saigon have found no evidence that the South Vietnamese had any operation going in the border area where Cambodia charges another violation occurred last Wednesday. a. As the early harvests get under way, prospects in the USSR are favorable and point to a better than average grain crop. b. The same is true of the European satellites, except for Bulgaria where drought and insects have posed serious problems. c. It looks as if Communist China will have an early crop better than last year but still below average. d. Hanoi has already claimed a good early rice crop, and informa- tion on growing conditions there lends credibility to the claim.

Congo Kasavubu today accepted the resigna- tion of the Adoula government. This may be no more than a pro forma step to clear the way for a transitional government to run the country until a permanent one can be set up in six to nine months. Kasavubu had intended several weeks ago to rename Adoula, but with the inter- jection of Tshombe and others we cannot be entirely sure that he will follow through. B. Germany The West Germans are considering a goods for prisoners exchange with the East Germans. Under the deal the West Germans would provide $5 million worth of butter, ores,and chemical fertilizer to ransom 500 political prisoners in East German jails. C. France De Gaulle's next press conference is now scheduled for 23 July. There are signs that he will devote considerable attention to the resurgence of nationalism in Eastern Europe and to France's historic ties with this area. He may follow this up with an offer of aid, perhaps in the nuclear energy field,to Rumanian Prime Minister Maurer who calls a few days later.
