The numerical strength of Tshombe's forces in the Elisabethville area has been reduced
in the recent fighting, but there are no reliable figures on the number of casualties.

DAILY BRIEF
* Congo: Premier Adoula appears to be. following up
his negotiations with Tshombe concerning Katanga with
moves aimed at establishing the central government's au-
thority in other recalcitrant areas of the Congo. On 29
December, the National Assembly charged "King" Albert
Kalonji--who has administered his mineral-rich tribal fief-
dom in southern Kasai virtually independently of the central
government- -with various misd meanors and divested him
of his immunity as a deputy. 28 December, Adoula ad-
vised UN representative Linner that parliament had voted to
censure Gizenga for his separatist activities; Adoula had
earlier indicated to Ambassador Gullion that following such
censure he. planned to drop Gizenga from his cabinet. In
general, however, the central government regards Gizenga
and Kalonji as. secondary problems, while viewing Katanga'
reintegration with the Congo as vital to the country's economic
and political well-being.
Tshombe's 29 December claim that UN aircraft had joined
in an attack on Kongolo by Stanleyville-based Congo Army troops
is unconfirmed. Earlier reports of fighting between Congolese
and Katangan.forces near Baudouinville, however, suggest that
Stanleyville forces are stepping up their. incursions into north-
25X1 ern Katanga. (Map)

*India- Pakistan:
25X1
25X1
In a 28 December press co er-
ence Nehru reiterated his willingness to "talk" to the Pakistanis
at any time, but only if "the existence of things as they are is
accepted." Pakistani leaders apparently feel India's loss of pres-
tige in some quarters as a result of the seizure of Goa provides
a good opportunity to reopen the Kashmir question in the UN,
and may be unwilling to forego this chance without some further
indication of a genuine Indian willingness t compromise.
*Chile: President Alessandri told US Ambassador Cole on
28 December that Chile is now in an acute foreign exchange cri-
sis, largely because of the loss of confidence which resulted
when receipts in 1961 fell $180,000,,000 short of the government's
expectations. The minister of finance--though quoted in the
press yesterday as stating that Chile does not plan any devalu-
ation of its currency- -told Cole on the 28th that Chile will be
forced into an abrupt and disorderly devaluation by 6 January if
no dollars become available. Cole considers that such a deval-
uation would threaten the collapse of Alessandri's program for
restoring the Chilean economy and would greatly strengthen the
leftist and pro-Communist forces which have been attacking this
program.

A sudden heavy outflow of capital during December seems
to have precipitated the present crisis. The economic situation
in Chile has been precarious for several years, and the budg-
etary deficit has continued to increase. Until December, how-
ever, inflation and the outflow of capital have been fairly well
controlled by Alessandri's "tight-money policy."
Arrangements with the West German Government are vir-
tually complete for the extension of a DM 100-million credit
(about US $25 million), but this probabl ill not be available,
until after Chile's 6 January deadline. 25X1
in iustifving open Communist assistance to the Viet Congo
Vietnam: North Vietnamese- Foreign Minister Ung Van
Khiem, terming recent US aid to South Vietnam "an act of di-
rect armed aggression against our country," has asked the UK
and USSR as co-chairmen of the 1954 Geneva conference to rec-
ommend withdrawal of US personnel and supplies from South
Vietnam. Hanoi probably does not expect more than perfunc-
tory attention from the co-chairmen. The note, broadcast by
Hanoi on 28 December, is designed for propaganda purposes
in the hope that heightened international concern would have
some retarding effect on US support for Diem. Hanoi may also
feel that such complaints over US involvement could be useful

*France-Algeria: De Gaulle's announcement yesterday
that the bulk of the French armed forces will be regrouped
in Europe during 1962 regardless of how the Algerian situa-
tion evolves signals concretely his determination to accel-
erate his program of French disengagement from Algeria.
He specifically stated that transfer of two of the twelve army
divisions now in Algeria as well as of several air force units
will begin in January.
Without mentioning the provisional Algerian government
(PAG) by name, De Gaulle suggested that the seven-year-old
conflict might soon end with a "reciprocal accord," and he
held out the prospect of French cooperation with a "sovereign
and independent" Algeria, provided essential French interests
are safeguarded. In an indirect warning to both the PAG and
European settlers, he implied that only with such a coopera-
tive French-Algerian relationship can there be peace between
the European and Moslem communities in Algeria.

he is in a ect
once again gambling on military loyalty to his regime. Even
his withdrawal of only two divisions from Alger' _a few months
a o was opposed by his key military advisers.
Paris still hopes to be able to announce a
cease-fire and the resumption of public negotiations with the
PAG in late January, there have been recent indications that
many of the French military in Algeria remain tolerant of the
anti-De Gaulle Secret Army Organization (OAS), and that Debra's
office actually is less optimistic than heretofore that all major
military units would remain loyal in a crisis.]}
The initial reaction to De Gaulle's speech among the Euro-
pean settlers in Algeria reportedly has been marked by disap-
pointment and rage, and, particularly in Oran, by street riots.

Turkey
,Last month, following a free election, the military junta
returned power to a civilian coalition government headed by
Premier Ismet Inonu. However, the key field commanders,
through their control of Turkey's armed forces, are capable
the Inonu coalition government.
of taking over the government a second time. This capability
is recognized by and influences the actions of moderate polit-
ical leaders such as Premier Inonu, President Cemal Gursel,
and retired General Ragip Gumuspala, the leader of the Jus-
tice party, which, under mility urging, is a participant in
However, some politicians in the Justice party and in other
25X1
parfies appear unwilling to soft-pedal public statements which
can be expected to provoke the military. Such politicians are
urging prompt amnesty for the 460 members of Menderes'
Democratic party who are now in prison. The military opposes
amnesty, in part because it fears that the persons now in prison
might come to power and take reprisals against the officers who
overthrew Menderes in May 1960. It also fears that the release
of Menderes' colleagues would pave the way for a restoration of
policies which the military considers to have reversed the re-
forms of Turkey's great soldier-leader Ataturk.
In view of the explosiveness of the amnesty question, Inonu,
who as the last living hero of Turkey's War of Independence has
unique prestige with the military, told parliament on 25 Decem-
ber that he favored eventual amnesty, but insisted that it would
be considered until peace and quiet had returned to the country.
