1. Laos a. The military lull con-
tinued over the weekend.
b. On Saturday Souphannou-
vong announced he was recalling
the remaining Pathet Lao repre-
sentatives from ViontiAne.
c. This clears the way for
the formation of a separate Laotian
government formed around a nucleus
of Pathet Lao and left-leaning
neutralists.
f. Rightists in Vientiane,
seeing another round of talks com-
ing up, are letting it be known
that there will be another, and
more complete, coup if Souvanna
does any back-tracking.

g. On the international
front, the Indians have tossed yet
another proposal into the already
well-stocked conference hopper.
They suggest that the 14 Geneva
signatories send special repre-
sentatives to the Laotian capital.
h. General Phoumi told Ambas-
sador Unger today that De Gaulle
has instructed Ambassador Millet
to go to Hanoi to press for the
withdrawal of North Vietnamese and
Pathet Lao forces from the Plaine
des Jarres.

2. Congo
a. Congolese Army units in
Kivu have caved in completely
after being ambushed on 30 May by
the rebels.
b. Yesterday virtually all
remaining troops were at the Bukavu
airport clamoring for evacuation.
e. Adoula has renewed his
request for UN help, but U Thant
is reluctant to commit UN forces
in the total absence of effective
Congolese military and security
forces.
f. The only UN forces left
in the Congo are a battalion of
Nigerians in Leopoldville and two
battalions of Ethiopians in Elisa-
bethville.

3. South Vietnam
g. At last report, North
Katanga was quiet but the situation
in Stanleyville was said to be
"more and more strained." Both
will certainly aet worse if Bukavu
is occupied.
h. Mobutu has returned from
Rome but has yet to take hold, if
indeed he can.
a. After mulling the problem
over for four months, Khanh has
come up with a typically Asian
solution to the problem of the
four generals,detained since the
January coup ostensibly for favor-
ing the French and neutralism.
b. They were set free by the
Dalat meeting last week in return
for a pledge to work for Khanh.
c. Just to make sure, Khanh
has assigned them to a special
staff in Dalat where he can easily
keep an eye on them. No duties
were spelled out, but they will
have no command responsibilities.

4, Tanganyika-
Zanzibar
d. This contrived decision
is unlikely to bring more than a
temporary closing of ranks. Big
Minh is said to have been displeased
with the Dalat proceedings. Also,
he is said to be talking to various
Saigon politicians with a view to
regaining power.
e. This may be what Khanh
had in mind of things
coming to light which put Minh in
"a very grave position." The up-
shot could be that Minh will shortly
be sent abroad to a quiet ambassa-
dorship.
f. So far the Viet Cong has
made no particular military effort
to take advantage of the political
and religious troubles hounding
Khanh.
a. Though the union is five
weeks old, the Zanzibaris are still
going pretty much their own sweet
way.
b. Babu, who thinks of him-
self as a foreign minister, has
ordered that all cloves--the is-
land's main export--be sold in
Zanzibar's name, not the union's.
Re is also negotiating a trade
agreement between the "Peoples'
Republic of China and the Peoples'
Republic of Zanzibar."

5. France-Vietnam
c. The Zanzibaris, egged on
by their East German financial
advisor, have issued instructions
to their London brokers to sell
all Zanzibari-held stocks to pre-
vent their falling into the hands
of the union.
d. They are also thinking
of setting up a state bank and
issuing their own currency.
e. In the face of all this,
Nyerere has been hewing to his slow
and cautious course.
a. One of the topics brought
up by the Hanoi trade representa-
tives,when he was received last
week at the political level of the
foreign office, was the situation
of French planters in South Vietnam.
b. Hanoi's man asserted that
the subject fell within the com-
petence of the "national front for
the liberation of South Vietnam,"
and, presumably, was therefore in
his own province.

6. Cyprus
a. The Greek Cypriots are
keeping the agitation against the
British going. They are now in-
sisting on the closure of British
bases and, to give point to this
demand, have sabotaged a water
pumping station which supplies one
of the bases.
b. As expected, they are now
trying to link the US with British
actions.
c. Makarios has indicated
that the Greek Cypriots will go
along with a three-month extension
for the UN peacekeeping force when
the Security Council meets on the
matter next week. So will the
Greek Government.
d. The current mandate for
the force expires late in the month.

NOTES
A. India After a weekend of intense backstage
jockeying, the way is clear for Shastri to
be named prime minister, perhaps tomorrow.
His only serious opponent, the conservative
Morarji Desai, appears beaten since the matter
has been placed in the hands of Congress
Party President Kamaraj, who has favored
Shastri all along.
C. Cuba-Sweden SKF has agreed to supply nearly
?a million dollars worth of badly needed
bearings to Cuba. The total contract may run
a good deal higher and Embassy Stockholm has
urged the government to reconsider.

Algeria Ben Bella, it seems, is making
another stab at cleaning out the Kabylie,
long a stronghold of his more militant op-
ponents.
The last
such attempt in October accomplished little.
F. Argentina The Peronist-leaning General
Confederation of Labor has resumed its pro-
gram of brief sit-ins at various business
places and is threatening to extend this to
public service facilities tomorrow. The gov-
ernment has warned that any interference
with public services will be met with "what-
ever force is necessary."
G. Nigeria Workers have been called out on a
general strike by their leaders who are try-
ing to force the government to accept the
report of a wage review commission. They
believe the report calls for better wages.
A similar strike last September led to the
establishment of the commission.
