I. THE COMMUNIST BLOC
USSR-Libya: A Soviet delegation arrived in Tripoli
and began formal discussion on 31 July of a revised offer
by Moscow to construct and equip two gift hospitals in Libya.
Earlier negotiations dating back to early 1958 were stymied
by the USSR's insistence that it furnish staff personnel; ac-
cording to a Libyan health official, however, the new proposal
involves Soviet training of Libyan medical personnel. Such an
arrangement would apparently provide a way of side- stepping
the ;issue of a permanent Soviet staff, but presumably would re-
quire the presence in Libya of Soviet medical personnel durin-a
an extended training neriod_

Khrushchev reaffirmed his early postsummit commitment
that unilateral. action on Germany and Berlin.would be deferred
until these questions could be discussed at another summit meet-
ing. He :recognized that such a meeting could not be convened
before the American election.but warned that if the West should
subsequently refuse a meeting and prevent agreement, the-USSR
would.sign a . separate treaty with East Germany.

Nationalist, Demonstrations Threatened in Southern Rhodesia
/ frican nationalist disorders are planned for 8 August in the
African townships adjacent to Salisbury,
On that date the
president o Southern Rhodesia's leading native organization, the
National Democratic party, is being brought to trial on a charge
of violating the Unlawful Organizations Act. It was the arrest of
this leader, Michael Mawema, and several others that triggered
the disturbances in July in Salisbury and Bulawayo. The rioting
at that time resulted in widespread property damage in the Afri-
can townships and led to about a dozen African deaths=-the first
caused by racial violence in Southern Rhodesia since 1896+.
,Nationalists are organizing a citywide strike of African em-
ployees, and they plan that school children will play an impor-
tant role in inciting disorders within the townships. Agitators
are collecting riot funds by canvassing homes and store
he government's Native Education Department, which discov-
ered the plans, advised the teachers on 2 August that they would
be fired if the African children did not attend school on 8 August.
They were also warned that the schools would be closed indefi-
nitely. However, the teachers responded that the fear of nation-
alist reprisals and pressure from nationalist-minded parents made
them cooperates
,African opponents of the planned disorders say that it is too
late to stop the disorders; moreover, the government's ban on
public meetings makes it impossible for them to address African
crowds and urge moderation. The police are preparing for trou-
ble on 8 August and intend to provide maximum security for all
African townships. However, if violence breaks out in Salisbury,
it is likely to spread to oth r areas where the National Democratic
party (NDP) has branches
ton 5 August, the NDP asked London to send British troops to
Southern :Rhodesia to ease "an explosive situation."

Security Situation in South Vietnam
LThe size of Communist guerrilla bands operating in South
Vietnam seems to be increasing after some tapering off of
large-scale assaults with the advent of the rainy season in late
March. Engagements with regular army units by guerrilla
bands of up to 400 men have been reported in the past few weeks.
Most recently, on 30 July, three guerrilla companies totaling 300
to 400 men, together with about 100 armed mountaineers, seized
a government district office in Binh Tuy Province 70 miles east
of Saigon, killing a small number of the defending Civil Guard and
Self-Defense Corps forces and kidnaping 34 Defense Corps mem-
bers and all civilians in the village. An attack on army units in
an area about 40 miles north of Saigon by an estimated 100-200
guerrillas occurred on 27 July. This activity north and east of
Saigon may reflect a Communist design to relieve pressure by
the Vietnamese Army on the principal areas of guerrilla activity
in the southweso
ravel on main roads near Saigon continues to be uncertain.
Prior to the anniversary of the Geneva accords on 20 July, Viet-.
namese security officials warned American motorists against
travel on a major route north of Saigon, as well as in certain
southwestern provinces
