Jet fighters in Cuba confirmed 2. Laos Developments 50X1 50X1 A partly assembled MIG, probably a 17, has been spotted on San Antonio air- field in an aerial photograph taken 15 June. This information means thtt the previously reported--but still un- confirmed--shipment, would be the second such delivery. 50X1 c) The ICC is so organized that the Poles run the complaints department. 50X1 d) On 16 June Pathet Lao forces clashed with a South Vietnamese patrol operating just inside Laos where Route 9 crosses the border. (See map at back of book. 50X1 e) Late press reporting indicates that this morning's meeting in Zurich was confused and acrimonious.

LIAR halts press attacks on USSR 4. Dominican opposition's approach to US Consulate 5, Bolivian Government splits on imprisonment of labor leaders 6. Chinese to per- suade Nehru to be more "flexible" in the border dispute 50X1 Nasir issued the order on 14 June. L. 50X1 1 Pravda has since printed a new statement, but one so mildly worded that it probably will not revive the affair. 'Two sources have reported to the Consulate that President Balaguer was unable to control the Trujillo family. Stating that immediate US armed inter- vention was the only solution, they pro- posed to begin a campaign of sabotage against US holdings in order to "force" intervention. The Consulate told them such ?action was Stupid and tends to discount it as a possibility. 50X1 50X1 Ambassador Stevenson reported on 15 June 'that Vice President Lechin wants the Communist leaders released. Presi- dent Paz said that if unity is not achieved and immediate US financial aid received, his government will fall "within a week." We think the loss of Lechin's support will not by itself bring Paz down. 50X1 The Chinese are attempting to appear 50X1 reasonable to avoid new charges of aggression if there are more border incidents. The Indians also apparently expect further trouble. We think U Nu will be reluctant to go along. 50X1 50X1 For The President Only?Top Secret Declassified in Part - Sanitized Copy Approved for Release 2015/05/04 : CIA-RDP79T00936A000100020001-3 1-4 1) r- -1 i=1 r r=-1 Declassified in Part - Sanitized Copy Approved for Release 2015/05/04 : CIA-RDP79T00936A000100020001-3 7. Civilians to be appointed to South Korean economic ministries 8. Pakistan disappointed with US 9. Neutralism growing stronger in Iran 10. French considering setting up local administrations in Algeria The new military leaders probably realize their inability to deal with Korea's major economic problems. They will, however, keep direct control of the defense ministry and all others dealing with security, hence the up- coming changes do not mean a return to civilian government. 50X1 Pakistan's belief that the US favors India over Pakistan leads it to en- courage, press criticism of the US. The meetings recently held by the World Bank to coordinate aid to the two countries are said to have reinforced Ayub's dissatisfaction. 50X1 This reflects public unhappiness over delays in reform, the resurgence of the National Front, and increasing Soviet psychological pressure. As long as Premier Amini has the Shah's support, however, his short-term prospects still seem to us reasonably good. 50X1 50X1 These would be without participation by the Provisional Algerian Government, and would be a form of pressure on the latter to be more forthcoming at Evian. The Algerians are playing a 'similar game in talking of "internationalizing the conflict." 50X1 Fru- Tk. Pr=cnriani? (Thrtlxi?Tnr. cc,t-rc,i?

Congo 12. Plotting in Addis Ababa 50X1 Indian charge Rahman, has more or less on his own been supporting Gizenga against Kasa- vubu. 50X1 The arrests made by Mobutu are intended to neutralize the pro-Gizenga parliamentary bloc. 50X1 LATE ITEM 50X1 various Ethiopian government leaders are plotting some sort of political-military action. We are unable to say more than that somthing is up and that an attempted coup is not unlikely.

The Soviet Central Committee meeting, which we thought would begin 1 1 Saturday, actually was scheduled for this morning. 50X1 B. Ambassador Stevenson has delayed his departure from QuAo and will fly to Bogota tomorrow morning. Ecuador has been making some anti- Communist gestures for the occasion. Extreme precautions are being taken against demonstrations in Bogota. C. Embassy Seoul has protested to the South Korean Government over its announcement that Chang To-yong will definitely come to Washington soon. D. Ikeda has departed for the US without incident. The planned riots fizzled. 50X1 F. The railway strike in the Sudan, which may develop into something 50X1 bigger, began Saturday. , 50X1 THE DIRECTOR OF CENTRAL INTELLIGENCE Frw Tk. Princriripni?
