Congo
LATE ITEM
Early this morning troops from kid-
napped ex-premier Tshombe's home prov-
ince of Katanga mutinied at Bukavu on
the Congo's eastern border. The picture
is not yet clear, but the revolt appears
to be in support of Tshombe who has been
held in Algeria since his airplane was
hijacked Saturday.
If this mutiny is not put down
quickly, trouble could break out in
other parts of the Congo and seriously
threaten President Mobutu's regime.
The last remaining unit of white merce-
naries appears to have sided with the
Katangese mutineers.

DAILY BRIEF
5 JULY 1967
1. Soviet Union
2. Cuba
3. Middle East
4. Oil
The strain of the past few weeks
is showing on Soviet leaders and there
are some signs of dissension in the
ranks.
The Cubans appear to be getting a
new defensive missile system, this one
for use against low-flying aircraft.
The SA-3 is designed for
use against aircraft flying too low for
the SA-2 missile system. This will be
the first time the SA-3 has been de-
ployed outside the Soviet Union.
Israel claims its antiaircraft
gunners bagged an Egyptian jet fighter
over the Sinai Peninsula yesterday.
The Egyptians have denied it. No one
seems disposed to use the incident as
an excuse for renewed fighting.
Kuwait apparently has authorized
the loading of one US and several Brit-
ish tankers beginning 8 July.
The Saudi Arabians, using broad-
casts to point out how much revenue is
:being lost, are conditioning the Saudi
public for .a resumption of sales to the
US and Britain. So far, the Saudis
estimate their 'demonstration of loyalty
to the Arab cause has cost them more
than $30 million.
