DAILY BRIEF
Cyprus: Intermittent fighting is continuing in
the strategic Kyrenia pass area in northern Cyprus
as the Greek Cypriots make preparations for what
may be an all-out assault on the Turkish Cypriot
position.
Firing. is increasingly heavy, but has not sub-
stantially altered battle lines. The outnumbered
Turkish. Cypriot defenders remain firmly entrenched
on the heights overlooking Kyrenia pass. UN forces
in the area are being reinforced.
In Athens, talks between Makarios and Prime
Minister Papandreou to. unify their policies on Cyprus
are continuing. The arrival there of Cypriot Minister
of Interior Georkatzis, a long-time supporter of the
former leader of the Greek Cypriot underground,
George Grivas, has provoked new reports that he
would soon return to the island to assume supreme
command of the Cyprus security forces. These may
now number in excess of 30,000.
If Grivas returns to the island in a command
position, the Turks may seize upon his arrival as
an excuse to appeal to the UN Security Council. The
Turkish . Cypriots have announced that they will re-
gard Grivas' return as proof of direct Greek inter-
vention in the Cyprus crisis.
[In Ankara, disillusionment over US policy re-
garding Cyprus appears to be increasing and Turkey
may be about to assume a "more independent policy"

regarding the island. The mounting Turkish pres-
sure on the Greek community in Istanbul and in Greek-
Turkish. relations generally is probably part of that
policy, Continued deterioration of the Turkish posi-
tion could also lead ultimately to a no-confidence
vote against the overnmenta

Laos. Premier Souvanna appears primed for a 0
new effort to reunify Laos.
Tripartite talks between his neutralist faction,
General Phoumi's rightists, and the Pathet Lao headed j
by Prince Souphannouvong are scheduled to begin Fri-
day at the Plaine des Jarres.
To facilitate the early return of Pathet Lao min-
isters to the coalition cabinet, Souvanna favors at
least a temporary shift of the seat of government to
apolitical Luang Prabang. He also indicates he will
push for longer range implementation of the agree-
ments of 27 November 1962 which called for an inte-
grated national army and a tripartite police force in
Vientiane.
Souvanna seems to be banking heavily on renewed
Communist assurances of respect for Laos' neutrality
which he received during his visits to Hanoi and Pei-
ping earlier this month. These talks appear to have
reinforced his opposition to any cooperation between
General Phoumi's forces and the South Vietnamese
Army. He fears this would result in strong Commu-
nist reaction.

' UK - British Guiana: E'he British Labor Party
is giving increasing a ention to British Guiana pol-
icy4
According to an anti-Jagan Labor MP, several
members of the party favor giving the colony independ-
ence at an early date without first holding an election
based on proportional representation.
)rank Cousins, a prominent British union leader
who recently did a survey on the colony for the party,
has indicated that he is personally sympathetic to Jagan
and his Peoples' Progressive Party. He is also con-
vinced that proportional representation will only in-
tensify the colony's racial problem, th s worsening its
already severe economic difficulties
(john Hatch, a journalist recently returned from
British Guiana, says that he intends to submit a confi-
dential report of his observations to Harold Wilson that
will favor Jagan. Wilson, who Hatch claims asked for
the report, has not yet committed himself to any policy
concernin
th
g
e colony.
JRegistration for the election anticipated later thi
s
year has now been scheduled to take place between
8 May and 6 June. Jagan has publicly criticized the
registration regulations. He has asserted his party is
still undecided on whether to boycott them. He told
would cooperate in the elections, albeit reluctantly./ 25X1

Southern Rhodesia: The forced resignation of
relatively moderate Prime Minister Field leaves
the government in the hands of extreme right-wing
whites)
[LA rightist majority within Field's Rhodesian
Front party had long been dissatisfied with his lead-
ership. In particular, the rightists felt he had not
pushed Southern Rhodesia's demand for independence
from Britain vigorously enough. Ian Smith, Field's
successor, c n be expected to press harder for in-
dependence.
CA body of conventions and agreements with Lon-
don gives the territory almost complete ?'de facto"
independence, but the British have said formal sev-
ering of colonial ties can come only when the 3.7
million Africans have better political prospects.
The present constitution assures control for many
years to the country's 220,000 whites.?
LThe moderate wing of the Rhodesian Front may
eventually break with Smith and join the relatively
liberal white. opposition party. 7
Such a shift might provide a new political plat-
form for the return to politics of Sir Roy Welensky,
last premier of the defunct Rhodesian Federation
and still the most popular political figure in Southern
Rhodesia. Even Welensky, however, would have
difficulty coping with the drift to the right in the
white electorate.
