1. Laos
a. The Polish member seems to
have maneuvered the ICC into includ-
ing an inspection of Air America in
a package inspection proposal which
would go to the Laotian government
for concurrence. The Indian chair-
man--"with tears in his eyes"--told
Ambassador Unger on Saturday that
withdrawing Air America from the
package could well lead to the break-
up of the ICC.

2. Iraq
a. The new regime is in con-
trol and is talking of an early re-
turn to civilian government. Gun-
fire, however, continues.
b. The government is dominated
? by the socialist Baath Party. Five
cabinet members were educated in
American universities and one in
London. The defense minister was
military attache in Washington in
1957-58.
c. The cabinet includes several
Kurds, and Mulla Mustafa Al-Barzani
has chimed in *ith a message of sup-
port. A greater measure of Kurdish
autonomy may be in sight and with it
the end of the Kurdish rebellion.
Baghdad has ordered the release from
prison of "Kurdish detainees" along
with all other "non-Communist" de-
tainees.
d. Communist demonstrations
have so far been crushed by the
militaryf
e. Moscow and Peiping in their
news treatment of the revolt have
carefully restricted themselves to
factual reporting.(

f. On Sunday the US Embassy
in Baghdad, in reporting that the
city was relatively calm except for
sporadic shooting during the roundup
of Communists, noted that "Communist
embassies are evidently frightened,
with women and children concentrated
in the compounds."
g. Arab countries have raced
to recognize the government. Iraq's
neighbors are nonetheless still ex-
tremely nervous over possible reper-
cussions on their own internal se-
curity and their forces are still
alerted. Hussein is concerned over
Cairo's "Voice of the Arab Nation"
broadcasts calling for revolts in
Jordan and Syria and there have been
further pro-Nasir demonstrations in
Syria, where the situation has been
restless for some weeks.
Cairo's clandestine radio,
however, has jumped in to call for
the "killing of Communists," with
"no mercy for a Red, an Englishman
or any other, agent."
the general trend of the
new regime is to "cooperate with all
Arab countries without falling into

the arms of Nasirism" but that the
"Nasirites" are "busily" trying to
exploit the situation.
a. Analysis so far of the
photos of the KH1MIK ZELINSKY sug-
gests that neither combat aircraft
nor strategic missiles were in its
cargo.
b. However, there seems to be
little question that military sup-
port items for Soviet and Cuban
forces were unloaded, including at
least some 130 jeep-like vehicles.
Some have apparently been convoyed
to a camp two miles from Torrens,
a major Soviet headquarters area
near Havana.

d. Our first look at low-level
photography of the construction on
Cayo Frances was inconclusive.
a. The Indians and the Pakistanis
have "exchanged lines" for a parti-
tion proposal. They are still far,
far apart, but at least were talking
with map in hand.
b. The third round has adjourned,
with the fourth scheduled for 9-12
March, in Calcutta.

military morale is at an all-time

group had invited him to study at
Prague's foreign university.

NOTES
B. USSR - Communist China Yesterday Pravda wound up
a one and one half page article by saying that if
"some party" (i.e., China) "displays an interest in
a bilateral meeting, our party is ready" for it "at
any level and at any time:" We see this as yet
another Moscow maneuver to place the blame on Peiping
for the dispute and to paint itself as the champion
of unity. The balance of the article indicated no
change in the dispute. The Chinese have made any
restoration of unity conditional on abandonment of
the rapprochement with Yugoslavia and the Soviets
make clear they, will have none of it.

G.
Congo Some of those missing Bank of Katanga funds
may bein Angola. Several mercenary pilots interned
there have been "singing" to the US Consulate General.
They say that "one Sunday morning" (presumably re-
cently) one of Tshombe's DC-3s in Angola flew into
Katanga and returned with "57 boxes" of gold. It is
now being held in Luanda--presumably by the Portuguese.
