Congo a. Rebel "Defense Minister" Soumialot yesterday broadcast several warnings of rebel retribu- tion against Americans in the Congo if the "bombing" of rebel-held areas does not stop. b. These were the most direct threats yet made by the rebels, who hold five US officials as well as a number of other Americans, c. The real danger, it seems to us, is that Soumialot and the rest of the rebel leaders exercise only the most sketchy control over their followers, who could take matters into their own hands, what- ever the desires of their leaders might be. d. Tshombe, insisting that the organizers of the Cairo non- aligned conference cannot "get away with it," flew into Cairo last night aboard a scheduled Ethiopian airline. Though in Cairo, Tshombe has no assurance that he will be admitted to the conference.

C. Cyprus The first shots in Makarios' campaign against Grivas do not appear to have damaged the general very much. He paid an official visit Sunday to Cyprus' second city, Limassol, and was greeted by a large and enthusiastic crowd. He said he would not leave Cyprus until "I take Cyprus with me to unite with Greece." D.
