1. USSR
a. The new leaders are still
trying to keep Soviet relations
with the West on an even keel.
b. One of their diplomats in
Ottawa, speaking "officially," de-
scribed the decision to kick Khru-
shchev out as prompted by his im-
pulsive and erratic administration
of domestic affairs, not by his
handling of foreign policy.
c. He also denied that the
military figured prominently in
the turnover.

2. Bolivia
e. The central dommittee,
which Khrushchev had used once
before to turn aside just such
an effort to get rid of him, was
called into session the next day.
This time it did not save him.
f. By the 14th, it would seem,
Khrushchev had been cast into the
dustbin of history.
a. The accommodation between
Paz and Barrientos may prove short-
lived.
b. Rioting students yesterday
virtually took over the city of Co-
chabamba, where Barrientos support
is strong. They were said to be
protesting the arrest of students
for antigovernment activity.
c. The disorders threaten
to spread to other places today,
including La Paz.

3. Congo
d. Barrientos flew from Co-
chabamba to La Paz last evening for
a confrontation with the President.
it is not yet clear how the former
intends to play his hand in this
new situation. If he tries now to
force a showdown with Paz, the re-
sult could be civil war.
b. The Red Cross intends to
take advantage of the late show of
good will from the rebels by trying
to arrange permission for foreigners
in the city to send messages to
their families.
c. The rebels are stirring
again in the east and have reoccu-
pied Beni, to the north of Bukavu.

4. Mozambique-Angola
a. The OAU's "liberation
committee," meeting in Dar-es-
Salaam, has decided to concen-
trate its efforts on Angola and
Mozambique, largely on the prag-
matic grounds that these are the
only territories where military
action is feasible in the coming
year.
b. In Mozambique, there
has been an upswing in anti-
Portuguese harassing activity.
c. This is the work of the
Tanganyikan-based Mozambique
Liberation Front which claims
some 2,000 men and is supported
not only by the committee, but
probably by the Chinese Commu-
nists and possibly the Soviets as
well.
d. The Congo-based Angolan
rebels, however, seem to have
fallen on evil days despite com-
mittee support. The chief ob-
stacle seems to be Tshombe, who
has done nothing to help the
rebels. They have also long been
hampered by poor leadership and
vicious infighting.

5. Cyprus
6. UN General Assembly
a. Makarios, we hear, has
obtained agreement from Grivas and
the Greek military officers that
they will confine themselves
strictly to military matters.
b. In return, the archbishop
is said to have agreed to the dis-
arming of Greek Cypriot irregulars,
most of whom favor Makarios over
Grivas.
c. We doubt that either side
will live up to the agreement.
d. After weeks of backing
and filling, UN officials on Cyprus
think they have a formula which
will result in the opening of the
Nicosia-Kyrenia road. If true,
this could open the way for an early
rotation of troops for the Turkish
contingent on the island.
a. Most UN members are appar-
ently resigned to postponing the
General Assembly opening from the
scheduled 10 November date.

b. The urge for postponement
stems from uncertainties created
by the new governments in London
and Moscow and from the unresolved
dispute on peacekeeping arrearages
owed by the USSR and France.
c. Gromyko has said that the
Soviets would be prepared to go along
with a delay of a "couple of weeks"
if others wished this. He was blunt,
however, in saying that the Soviets
will not pay up. The French are
likely to be equally stiff.

NOTES
C. USSR - North Vietnam
Soviet influence is
aeciining. many Soviet periodicals,
once plentiful,are no longer obtainable.
D. Colombia President Valencia .is still worried
that his minister of war, General Ruiz Novoa,
may be on the verge of trying a coup.
Ruiz has indeed seemed to be rounding
up support for an effort to throw Valencia out,
and it may be largely a matter of timing.

E. Brazil
rumors that tett-wing :ekements:are.hatching
plans to assassinate ex-president Goulart in
such a way that the blame falls on the Cas-
tello Branco government.- The scheme may look
attractive to these elements, since,if it can
be pulled off, it would simultaneously discredit
the Brazilian government and make a martyr out
of Goulart, who has been lukewarm about their
plans to sponsor 'a new revolution in Brazil.
G Common Market Renewed French pressure for
an agreed price on agriculture products,
topped by De Gaulle's threat yesterday to
pull out if he does not get his way, have
put Erhard in a tough spot. Recent domestic
setbacks make it hard for the Chancellor to
agree to the proposed price levels until
after next year's elections, if then.
H. South Vietnam A late report from Saigon
says that armed forces--either Cambodian or
Viet Cong--today crossed a well-defined sector
of the border and captured three Vietnamese and
an American special forces adviser.
