1. Berlin air corridors
a) The Soviets"reserved" the northern
corridor again today for the usual
times and altitudes. There was no
reported harassment of the five
allied flights in the northern corridor
during the reserved period although
several Bloc aircraft were active in
that air lane during at least part of
the time. Poor weather was probably
a factor in this.
b) Their note Saturday responding to
our protest claims their "right" to
corridor use derives from agreements
with East Germany and alleges there are
no "documents" giving the allies unre-
stricted Berlin air access. Their
continued demands that we file esti-
mated flight border crossing times
also appears designed to buttress the
claim that the East-West boundary is
an international border.
c) We suspect the Soviets also may
be preparing withdrawal from the
Berlin Air Safety Center or at least
reducing their role to observer and
not participating in any flight
guarantee procedures

2. Laos
50X1'
He specifi-
cally urged Phoumi not to counterattack
at Nam Tha since the Pathet Lao ran the
show there and reaction would be
"violent." While recommending further
US pressure on Vientiane to support a
neutralist government, he cautioned
against moves which might "lead Phoumi
to break away and go it alone."
c) The King tells us he has flatly
rejected the idea so appealing to
Vientiane and Bangkok that he take
over from Souvanna as head of the
new government.
d) Chiang Kai-shek says he has turned
down Phoumi's request for military
assistance.
e) Our Army attache reports a marked
cooling of relations between US and
Laotian military personnel in recent
months.

3. Congo
TshomLe has reversed his stand and
toid UN Headquarters he opposes station-
ing UN troops at the Jadotville and
Kolwezi mining centers west of Elisa-
bethville, alleging this will provoke
violence. Reports reaching our Elisa-
bethville consulate indicate the popu-
lation in these centers are in a
"fighting mood." The British remain
strongly opposed to UN troop moves
there.
b) UN officials, however, view
military occupation--by force if
necessary--as essential to their
mission. Their planning for various
troop deployments in Katangn is well
along and they will be counting on us
for airlift support. They feel time
is short for accomplishing their
mandate since a shortage of funds
will require a reduction of UN Congc
forces in coming months--they also
suspect Tshombe is gambling on just
this.
c) Tshombe and Adoula have exchanged
invitations to meet. Consul Hoffacker
notes indications that the Katangan
president desires an early session
with Adoula at "any place but Leopold-
ville."

4. Latin America
a) Reinforced British troops in Guiana
are in control but tensions at George-
town continue high. Our consulate
reports hatreds have hardened and the
gulf between races is now probably
"unbridgeable." Labor leaders report-
edly have called for an end to the
general strike but we have no late
information on the rank and file
response. Jagan's political opponents
remain active and he faces further
attempts to force him out.
b) Brazilian leaders, apparently
caught unawares by Governor Brizzolas
expropriation of American telephone
properties in Rio Grande province and
disturbed by the anticipated adverse
effects on US-Brazilian relations,
are moving hurriedly to work out some
settlement agreeable to us.
c) The question of canal treaty
renegotiation continues to crop up
in Panama City. Ambassador Farland
expects pressures for renegotiation
will increase and notes President
Chiari still seems to have the idea
from his exchanges with President
Kennedy that we are committed to early
talks on the matter.
d) Ambassador McClintock reports the
military letting up a bit on Frondizi
as they digest their recent successes.
e) Yesterday's propaganda growls and
saber rattling from Moscow bear out
our UN delegation's report the Soviets
are taking their Cuban res lution
defeat quite hard. We expect they
will try to salvage something in
today's plenary session by pushing the
vaguely worded Mongolian resolution.

sidelights
With a cease-fire apparently imminent,
both sides are bracing for Secret Army
Organization reaction. The Algerians
foresee no halt in OAS 50X1
terrorism and fear that the French
Army will not protect the Moslems
against OAS excesses. 50X1

Dutch Foreign Minister Luns is
expected here 2 March en route to
Tokyo. Meanwhile, he has told
Lightner in Berlin that he would
make a strong presentation of Dutch
disagreements with US policy on
Indonesia to the Attorney General
at the Hague. There are some indica-
tions the Dutch and Portuguese may
view our forthcoming request for NATO
Cuban action as a chance for unfavorable
comparison with our attitude toward
their "problems."

NOTES
A. Initial returns indicate Khrushchev has received little
favorable non-Communist response to his disarmament summit
conference proposal.
B. The Afghans say they are "extremely pleased" with their
Iranian transit agreement and consider the route "much more
attractive" than the Soviet route, both as to cost and
delivery time.
C. Our UN delegation, reviewing progress on UN bond sales,
believes a coordinated program is urgently needed to
insure achievement of the $100 million target.
D. The Australians are negotiating sale of another half-million
tons of wheat to Communist China on credit.
