Laos b. a group of Saudi princes, anxious to pre-empt the field before pro-Nasirites make a try at taking over, are laying plans to force Saud to abdicate� in favor of Faysal. Saud may have unwittingly set the stage for just such a move when he cabled Faysal on Saturday to return home for consultations. c. King Husayn is also worried by events in Saudi Arabia. 50X1 50X6 C-- TL,... 11---! _1_ _ T,._ C_ Declassified in Part - Sanitized Copy Approved for Release 2015/07/23 : CIA-RDP79T00936A001100110001-2 50X1 50X1 50X1 50X1 1 F I F-1 V - 1 1 1 A 1 Declassified in Part - Sanitized Copy Approved for Release 2015/07/23 : CIA-RDP79T00936A001100110001-2 4. Sino-Indian border Vongvichit re- jected the national assembly's action giving Souvanna full powers for a year d. Pathet Lao forces have taken advantage of the intramural neutralist squabble in Phong Saly province to move into areas from which they had previously been excluded. a. There has apparently been no fighting on the border since Wednesday. With both sides steadily beefing up their forces in the area, more skirmishing seems inevitable.

Congo b. The Indians seem to have had the best of it so far, thanks perhaps to surprise. c. The Indians recently dis- covered that the Chinese have built a road to within six miles of the combat area, which puts them in considerably better shape to receive supplies and reinforcements. a. Tshombe gave more ground yesterday in agreeing to sign a ceasefire with Leopoldville and to let his men swear allegiance to the central government follow through may depend on Adoula producing an amnesty for Katangans. b. UN Representative Gardiner now feels Adoula is more unmanage- able than Tshombe. He does not expect an enthusiastic reaction from Tshombe when he is confronted with the new highly-centralized constitution which Adoula is trying to ram down his throat. c. Leopoldville this morning announced the restoration of diplo- matic relations with Ghana after a two-year hiatus. TL-.

Venezuela 7. Brazil a. It now looks as though President Betancourt has carried the day for his plan to strip certain terrorist-connected congressmen of their immunity as a preliminary to tossing them into jail. b. the cabinet was with him and Supreme Court approval seemed assured. His Social Christian coalition partners were also expressing willingness to go along, provided he refrained from outlawing outright the Communist Party and the Movement of the Revolutionary Left. a. Election results are still too inconclusive to draw any con- clusions on a national scale. There do not, however, appear to have been any startling trends in any direction. b. In what is probably the most important race, the conserva- tive has a slight Jead over his pro-Communist opponent for governor of Pernambuco (northeast) but may well lose it in later returns. 50X1 T- C. - Declassified in Part - Sanitized Copy Approved for Release 2015/07/23 : CIA-RDP79T00936A001100110001-2 C--1 r--"117:=F t r- 1-1 o-----! -- 4 Declassified in Part - Sanitized Copy Approved for Release 2015/07/23 : CIA-RDP79T00936A001100110001-2 1 A.
