I. Cyprus
a. The situation has calmed
down temporarily as Greek Cypriots
have slackened off their attack on
St. Hilarion castle, the main
Turkish stronghold.
c. It has by now become quite
clear that the UN presence, by
itself, is not sufficient to end
the fighting.
d. Thant is expected to
support Gyani's proposals in his
forthcoming report to the Security
:Council.
e. The Secretary General is
also said to be considering putting
a high-ranking civilian. in charge
of the UN operation in Cyprus. as
was done in the Congo.

2. Laos
a. Souvanna has asked Pathet
Lao leader Souphannouvong to meet
with him in the Plaine des Jarres.
b. He has also called upon
the Pathet Lao to stop their
attacks, being understandably con-
cerned that the continuation of
such military pressure would reduce
what precious little elbow room
he has to stave off the demands of
the right-wing generals.
c. The Pathet Lao do not
seem to be paying much attention
to him.
rightist positions on. Phou Nong,
a commanding height southeast of
Ban Bau,came under heavy pressure
yesterday afternoon.

3. Yemen
d. As expected, the Pathet
Lao have brushed off as mere
"propaganda" Phoumi's call for
the absentee ministers to return
to Vientiane. They .have, however,
since the coup, spoken in favor
of renewed tripartite talks out-
side the capital.
e. It is now up to the coup
forces to decide whether to let
Souvanna out of their clutches to
meet with Souphannouvong. If they
do, Souvanna may be tempted not
to return.
f. In any event.it.will
probably be some time before the
two leaders complete the preliminary
sparring over the time, place,and
security arrangemonts for their
meeting.
a. The republican government
has been shaken up during:Nasir's
visit to Yemen.
b. Although Sallal remains
as president, the man coming out
on top as premier, Hammud al-Jayfi,
is no great friend of Egypt.

c. Jayfi, by Yemeni standards,
is a forceful and efficient admin-
istrator with considerable popu-
larity among the republicans.
However,the Egyptians have long
distrusted him and suspected him
of Baathist leanings.
d. They have also felt that
Jayfi wanted to limit the Egyptian
role in Yemen and consequently
have had him on ice in Cairo as
Yemeni ambassador.
e. The Egyptians have been
disappointed with Sallal and for
good reason. The fact that Jayfi
is being allowed an important role
in the government is a good indi-
cation that Nasir has no where
else to turn.
f. Nasir may hope by this
means to cut his losses, broaden
the base of government,and attract
Faysal into accepting this solu-
tion to the Yemeni problem.
g. The only trouble is that
Faysal may not see it this way.
Rather he may interpret the re-
shuffle as a sign of weakness and
hold out for the complete collapse
of republican fortunes.

4. Bolivia
a. Tin miners loyal to leftist
Vice President Juan Lechin are
acting up again.
b. There was a series of
clashes last weekend between pro-
government and pro-Lechin miners
in the Huanuni mining area.
c. These outbursts prompted
miners in the large Catavi - Siglo
Viente mining complex to walk off
their jobs in protest. Other mining
centers are threatened with strikes
today.
d. Lechin, who rushed to the
scene of the fighting, delivered
a fiery speech on Sunday calling
on the miners to unite and "fight
to death ?against American imperial-
ism and the tyranny of Victor Paz."
e. All opposition parties,
except the Communist Party, have
rejected Lechin 'S proposal of an
electoral front to support his
candidacy for the presidency in
the 31 May elections.
f. Lechin, knowing that he
has little chance of gaining power
through elections, may now try to
make his bid for power by force of
arms.

NOTES
C. India Nehru's talks with Sheikh Abdullah which
began today will be crucial for the future
stability of Kashmir and for relations between
India and Pakistan. Though some Indian officials
are prepared to go quite far toward a compromise
involving a measure of autonomy for Kashmir,
pressure from extremist elements will probably
make it difficult for the two men to reach any
agreement.
D. Congo Bands of terrorists, calling themselves
."Mulelists," are active in Kwilu Province near
the Burundi border. They may, force the commit-
ment of additional units of the Congolese Army,
already hard pressed by the Mulele rebellion in
Kwilu and disturbances elsewhere.

E. Venezuela-OAS
Venezuela will not get a strong OAS resolution
condemning Cuba in the arms cache case.
F. Pakistan - Communist China
General Mohammed Musa, Pakistani
Army Commander-in-Chief, has received an invita-
tion to visit Communist China. President Ayub
will probably authorize the trip. Ayub accepted
a similar invitation during Chou En-lai's
February visit to Pakistan and is
considering going late this year.
G. Syria the
situation is critical there today. Despite the
government's efforts and announcements of agree-
ments, the strike of shopkeepers continues. A
showdown for the Baath regime may not be far off.
