the second day to ignore completely
Mikoyan's presence in the country.
Mikoyan may return to New York
today, we would gather virtually
empty-handed.
J. Curiously, in New York,
bloc Journalists are sounding out
Latin Americans on
whether Castro would be acceptable
were he to become "sufficiently
independent of Soviet influence."

4. India-USSR-
China
a. . Nehru said different things
in different places On the subject
of Soviet MIGs this weekend, but did
say publicly yesterday that Moscow,
had given assUrandes, these WOuldlw
delivered as originally promised.
b. -There is no question, at
least, ?that Nehru seems confident
the planes will be received by
December.
c. Moscow may indeed have
reversed the decision to hold up
delivery in the light of continued
Chinese criticism of its stand on
Cuba. On, the other hand, Nehru may
be trying to pressure Khrushchev
into doing so.
d. Such a gesture would be
important both to Moscow and India
as a counterweight to our aid and
?a reaffirmation of India's nonalign-
ment.
e. Peiping's Peoples Daily yes-
terday carried NehrUTg-giaement
that Moscow had decided to deliver
the MIGs after all. Alongside it
was a story that the US was speeding
up its airlift of arms and men to
assist India's invasion of China.

f.- In case readers still failed
-:-
to get the point, it added an:editorial
sharply criticizing "those who Continue
tO regard. Nehru as the embodiment of
nonalignment."
g. The frit:nit along the border,
so far as we know, remains quiet.
a. Coup plotting by conservative
elements in the i armed forces is yet
again under way.
b. Their objective is to prevent
the return from exile of former presi-
dent Arevalo, who is strongly anti-US.
Arevalo is expected to make a bid for
the presidency in elections next year,
and his supporters at home have been
making considerable political headway.
P. .Guatemalan communists and
labor organizations they control are
alert to the coup possibility and are
Making preparation's toprofit from
the confusion. US installations are
slated for attack.

Anything further can be done.
b. Britain is committed not to
join until its "Seven" partners have
settled their future relationship
with the gtoup, but so far only
Denmark's application for membership
has received more than preliminary
consideration.
c. Ministerial talks get under
way today to consider Denmark's
application further and that of Norway_
as well, but they are not likely to
produce much until the overall question
of membership is settled and community
institutions adjusted accordingly.

NOTES
B.
C.
D.
North Korea North Korea has apparently recalled its
ambassadors for consultation just as Communist China
did late last month. The Koreans have been increasingly
vocal in support of the Chinese position on Cuba and
India.
USSR/Nuclear Testing Moscow radio yesterday displayed
sensitivity to British press reports that Britain will
begin a series of tests. This, it said, would "seriously
complicate" negotiations, just at a time when agreement
on ending tests is "very close."
Colombia A political snarl is developing in Colombia as
opposition grows to the government's new austerity
program now before congress.
