his government has embarked on a "crash" program to recruit

education minister formally requested American and British

USSR reportedly offered to provide teachers, and a few Soviet
nationals may already be employed in Guinean schools.

Ill. ASIA-AFRICA
Indian Naval Visit to Indonesia Set for Late June
New Delhi has announced that major elements of the In-
dian fleet will visit Indonesia during late June, and may exer-
cise with Indonesian naval units. The Indian force, consist-
ing of two light cruisers and seven destroyer types, left
Bombay on 24 May and presumably will be in Indonesian waters
when the much-publicized Dutch carrier group calls at Nether-
lands New Guinea, (West Irian).
The Indian visit is in return for a good-will trip to Bombay
in early May by three Indonesian warships and is an extension
of previous Indian plans to conduct exercises this summer with
British and Malayan units in the Indian Ocean and in Malayan
waters. Elements of the Indian task force will also pay calls
to Singapore and Malayya.
Exercises with non-Commonwealth forces are unusual for
India. While the coincidence of the presence of Indian and.Dutch
naval units in Southeast Asian waters may be accidental, In-
dia's decision to expand the scope of its summer exercises
to include a visit to Indonesia and maneuvers with Indonesian
ships probably represents as much an. effort to provide a
calming influence as it. does to extend support to a. friendly
nation.
While Djakarta has not yet commented on the projected
Indian visit, it can be expected to play up the visit as a demon-
stration of friendship and support by another Asian power
against "Dutch imperialism." During the past month, Indonesia
has approached Asian and Arab governments for assistance
in denouncing and obstructing the Dutch plan to augment forces
in Netherlands New Guinea and to send naval units on a flag -
showin.g cruise in the Far East, Other than statements of
sympathy and cooperation, India's decision is the first dem-
onstration of support which has resulted from Indonesia's of -
forts.

Escape of Jailed Pro-Communist Leaders in Laos
The escape of Prince Souphannouvong andL15J,other.
jailed Neo Lao Hak Sat (NLHS) leaders in the early hours of
24 May will give the Pathet Lao insurgency a strong boost,
as well as constitute a serious loss of face for the Laotian
Government. The government now is relieved of the need to
carry out the long-deferred trial of these pro-Communist
leaders, but this advantage is outweighed by the danger of
having them at large again and by the embarrassment the
army must suffer over their escape from the supposedly
heavily guarded prison in Vientiane.
Souphannouvong and his party will probably try to reach
the Pathet Lao command post, which is believed to be located
somewhere in the Laos - North Vietnam border area. Be-
cause of Souphannouvong's considerable national prestige, his
name will add weight to Pathet Lao directives and propaganda
pronouncements. The Pathet Lao command structure . will
also be strengthened by some of the other escapees, who are
reported to be key members of the clandestine Communist
inner core of the NLHSJ
In the past few months, the Pathet Lao insurgents have
de-emphasized military operations in favor of propaganda
and subversive activities in the hope of influencing the recent
national elections. With these elections now out of the way
and with the likelihood that the new government to be formed
shortly will be dominated by the militantly anti-Communist
Committee for Defense of National Interests (CDNI), the in-
surgents may step up their guerrilla attacks.
