Cpiopaganda has alleged that a second Soviet shipload of "Rus-
sian" Kurds is en route to Iraq in order to carry out a coup
in connivance with Iraqi Communists. Moscow on 11 April
admitted that some 850 Iraqi Kurdish refugees were being
repatriated, but it denied they had been trained in the USSR
for guerrilla warfare. Moscow blamed Western press
agencies, rather than Cairo, for such stories
(Page 4)
Iraqi oil: The Iraqi director of petroleum affairs has
told the US E�bassy that no new oil concessions will be
granted, and that Iraq will henceforth explore and develop
its oil resources using foreign contract technicians. He said
that Iraq will employ Soviet oil technicians on this basis in
the Khanaqin area--some 85 miles northeast of Baghdad near
the Iranian border- wheWhey are already at work, and in
the offshore Persian Gulf.
Iraq: Premier Qasim's fear of further disloyalty in the
army appears to have given the Communist-dominated Pop-
ular Resistance Force (PRF) increased influence at the ex-
ense of the army. The PRF commander claimed
to have been empowered to prevent "illegal interfer-
ence" by the Iraqi Army in PRF activities. The Communist-
controlled "Iraqi Peasant Organization" has petitioned Qasim
for permission to arm for protection against antiregime
tribesmen and to "reinforce the armed government forces:'
The Communists are thus continuing to exploit Iran's inst
Willy to increase their paramilitary strength.

South Vietnam - Cambodia: South Vietnamese President
Diem intends shortly to launch an "all-out" press and radio
campaign to expose the "Communist takeover" in Cambodia un-
der Cambodian Premier Sihanouk. Diem attributes a worsen-
ing security situation in Vietnam in recent months to intensi-
fied activity by Cambodian-based Communist and other hostile
elements who have the "blessing" of the Sihanouk government.
Such a propaganda campaign would only serve to encourage
Sih nouk to move closer to Peiping

Tibetan Situation
that the Chinese Communists estimate Tibetan opposition to
Chinese rule to be widespread. The unknown official in Lhasa
states that the "thole Tibetan race" is asking for independence
and is expecting to set up a "Tibet kingdom" consisting of Tibet
proper and Tibetan-inhabited areas of west China, including
Szechwan and Yunnan provinces� criticizes
Chang Kuo-hua, Chinese commander of the Tibet Military Dis-
trict, for mishandling the revolt and describes his leadership
as "quite inferior,!'
Conditions in Lhasa are now "very peaceful,"
I The Lhasa speaker
'states there is no rifle fire inside the city or on the outskirts,
and he adds that during the fighting, all personnel of th stal
telecommunications bureau "did not dare" go outdoors.
Despite the reported criticism, Chang Kuo-hua continues to
be the regime's most prominent official in Lhasa. As vice chair-
man of the Preparatory Committee for the Tibet Autonomous liegion,
Chang told the committee's plenum on 8 April that the Tibetan rebels
organized a "volunteer' headquarters for defending Lamaism,"
appointed a "military chief," recruited men between the ages of
16 and 60, and called for establishment of an "YndependenVstate
of Tibet,7' He admitted that Khamba guerrillas from former Sikang
Province had been provided with food and ammunition "everywhere
they went" in Tibet, but he made it clear that he would not let the
lamaseries serve as places of refuge for either Khambas or
Tibetans.
Supplementing Peiping's military countermeasures, the or-
ganization of the Preparatory Committee has been expanded to
include several new departments, of which the Public Security
Department will have the major police role� The Panchen Lama

has called for the regimentation of ecclesiastical and secular mem-
bers of Tibetan society and requested them "to feed information to
army units engaged in quelling the rebellion, take part in transpor-
tation and supply work,, and organize comfort activities" for the
troops. He announced new criteria for political reliability, sug-
gesting that reluctant acquiescence in regime policies will no
longer be tolerated, as "willingness to follow the path of social-
ism" is now mandatory for all Tibetans.
Maintaining the pose that he is only second choice for the most
prominent Tibetan position, the Panchen Lama insists he is serv-
ing as "acting chairman" of the Preparatory Committee for the
Tibetan Autonomous Region "during the period of the Dalai Lama's
absence under duress." While he expressed "great sympathy and
concern" for the safety of the Tibetan leader, he gave no indica-
tion that the Chinese Communists expect his return from India in
the near future.
In continuing its line that the Dalai Lama has been abducted,
Peiping is directly contradicting Nehru's stated view that he prob-
ably escaped "of his own free This tactic is designed in
part to demonstrate to Tibetans that the Dalai Lama really sup-
ports Peiping and in part to warn Nehru against abetting "kidnap-
ers" by permitting the Dalai Lama to engage in anti-Communist
political activities. On 10 April the Chinese Communists repeated
the charge that the rebels were "directed and supported" by ele-
ments in Kalimpong.

New Soviet-UAR Arms Agreement
The UAR Embassy in Moscow informed Cairo on 4 April
that the Soviet Government has agreed to sell arms to the UAR
on extremely liberal terms but refuses to include nonmilitary
items under the arms agreement as requested by the UAR on
11 March. In the past, Moscow has advised the UAR that the
Soviet Union distinguishes between arms deals and commercial
agreements, and that nonmilitary goods can be obtained only
under short-term commercial credits without liberal discounts.
Negotiations for additional Soviet military aid have been
under way in Moscow since last July, and a new agreement may be
concluded shortly. The proposed terms of the new agreement are
the most liberal yet extended to a nonbloc country by the Soviet
Union, with the possible exception of a small arms deal concluded
with Yemen in 1956. Under the new agreement, the UAR will ob-
tain Soviet arms at one third of cost, with repayment to be made
in five annual installments beginning in 1967 at a 2-percent rate
of interest.
Since 1955 Egypt and Syria have receiv ,41 mare than A500.000 000
worth of military aid from the Soviet bloc.

not return to his post for the time being,
This
move is in response to the extended absence from Cairo of
Soviet Ambassador Kissilev, who returned to Moscow in Feb-
ruary. Nasir believes that Kissilev had planned to return to
Cairo in order to smooth over current UAR-Soviet friction,
but that Nasir's 30 March speech--a strong criticism of the
USSR for interference in Arab affairs--in the presence of So-
viet military instructors was responsible for changing Soviet
plans for Kissilev's retur-n].
Crhe UAR has continued its propaganda charges regarding
the repatriation of Kurdish refugees from the USSR to Iraq.
Cairo broadcasts on 11 April claimed that a second shipload
of armed "Russian" Kurds is en route to Iraq and that Iraqi
Communists, in connivance with the repatriated Kurds, are
preparing to carry out a coup in Baghdad. A TASS statement
on 11 April, denying that the 850 Kurds who previously re-
turned to Iraq aboard the Gruzia are armed and trained for
guerrilla warfare, accused Western press agencies with orig-
inating such reports, thus sidestepping the issue of UAR author-

Saudi Arabia Stepping Up Support of Algerian Rebels
Saudi Arabia, along with Iraq, appears to be becoming an
increasingly important source of support for the Algerian rebel-
lion, while the role of the UAR seems to be diminishing, at least
in relative terms.
the Algerian rebels, and not
Omani dissidents, were the intended recipients of a considerable
quantity of unmarked arms and ammunition and a number of mil-
itaryvehicles which,
were being readied by the Saudi Goveimment for clandestine
shipment abroad. The embassy reported that an Algerian repre-
sentative had conveyed the rebels' thanks for "material,. .being
prepared" in Saudi Arabia and also for financial aid just received
by the rebel office in Damascus.
Subsequently, Algerian rebel premier Ferhat Abbas, in an
off-the-record interview granted annAmerican correspondent on
3 April, stated that the Saudis had become the "strongest defend-
ers" of the Algerian cause in the Arab world and that "almost all"
rebel funds now come from Saudi Arabia and Iraq. Abbas, who
visited Saudi Arabia early last month, also indicated that the
Saudis were making available to the rebels licenses originally
granted to the Saudi Government for the purchase of arms in West
Germany.
Meanwhile, relations between the Algerians and UAR Pres-
ident Nasir, their erstwhile chief patron and most vocal public
champion, appear to have deteriorated further in recent weeks,
rebel officials in Tunis
informed Algerian elements in Tripoli that Cairo would no longer
permit Algerians who did not have a valid passport to cross the
Egyptian-Libyan border in either direction, Personnel transport-
ing "materiel" who had travel permits furnished by the Eg )tian
authorities were to be exempted from this regulation.

South Vietnam Plans to Open Anti-Sihanouk Campaign
aouth Vietnamese President Diem has told American officials
that he is determined to launch an "all-out" press and radio cam-
paign exposing the "Communist takeover" in Cambodia under Pre-
mier Sihanouk. This campaign, which Diem insists will remain
objective, is to have the double purpose of informing the Cambo-

fronting the Vietnamese people with the danger they facE'
6iem attributes a worsening security situation in South
Vietnam to increased activity by Cambodian-based Communist
and other hostile elements who have the "blxssing" of the Siha-
nouk government. He points to a sharp rise during the past
three months in Communist-inspired terrorism in the provinces,
highlighted by the assassination of 97 persons most of them lo-
cal officials. There have been independent reports that the
Cambodian Government is encouraging anti-Diem activities by
Vietnamese dissident sect forces in Cambodt,
Diem's projected propaganda campaign probably would serve
only ITo rally additional Cambodian popular support for Sihanouk,
and it might encourage him to seek even closer relations with
the Sino-Soviet bloc on the grounds that the "Saigon-Bangkok plot"
to overthrow him remains a threat. Disaffected Cambodian ele-
ments led by former Royal Councilor Sam Sary and ex-Prexnier
� Son Ngoc Thanb are already engaged in psychological warfare ef-
forts against Sihanouk, apparently with the continued clandestine
support of Vietnam and Thailand. "Radio Free Cambodia," pre-
sumably located in the Thai-Cambodian border region, has been
heard almost daily during the past month Rnd anti-Sihanouk tracts
have been distributed in Cambodi"-a77

Nicaraguan Exiles Planning Revolution
Nicaraguan revolutionary leader Enrique Lacayo was en-
dorsed as the future provisional president of Nicaragua at a
6 April meeting in Havana of some 30 Nicaraguan exiles and
seven Cuban sympathizers. Lacayo, who escaped from Nicara-
gua early last month after spending over two years in jail for
alleged complicity in the 1956 assassination of Nicaraguan
strongman Somoza, by late March had been selected by oppo-
sition factions inside Nicaragua and in exile in Costa Rica as
their joint leader.
Lacayo's endorsement by those represented at the Havana
meeting, which included the leader of an alleged 200 Nicaraguan
exiles in the New York City area: strengthens his claim to lead-
ership,. It is not known whether he sought or received the backing
of the pro-Communist Nicaraguan groups that have been sympa-
thetically received by Cuban authorities, but prior to his depar-
ture for Cuba he indicated to the US ambassador in Costa Rica
that he was determined to prevent Communist penetration of the
Nicaraguan revolutionary movement. Lacayo is believed to
look to former Costa Rican President Figueres as his revolu-
tionary mentor, and Figueres is known to be strongly opposed
to dealing with the Communists in revolutionary planning.
Manuel Gomez Flores, former Nicaraguan colonel and per-
sistent revolutionary plotter for the past 12 years, apparently
regards himself as qualified to lead the military phase of the
movements Now in Cuba, he claims he has already tentatively
chosen the Man of War Keys--a few miles off the Nicaraguan
Caribbean coast--as the rendezvous point for the invasion and
the nearby Rio Grande estuary as the mainland landing area�
It appears unlikely that a concerted revolutionary invasion
can be launched before the start of the rainy season, which will
come in about a month and would make military operations ex-
ceedingly difficult in the swampy Nicaraguan coastal area. The
exile groups are still subject to strong rivalries, however, and
the possibility of a premature attempt by one faction trying to
beat the others to the draw cannot be eliminated.
