Laos a. Peiping's daily protests took on a somewhat tougher tone today, but stopped short of a direct threat to intervene. b. Following up on Saturday's threat to the Geneva co-chairmen to take unilateral action if a 14- nation conference were not held shortly, People's Daily accused the US of trying to "force" a Chinese. reaction which would further under- mine the Geneva accords. c. Peiping again dismissed the Polish proposal for limited talks as "illegal." d, The Vientiane consultations meanwhile have reached a decisive stage. f. There was no change in the ground situation yesterday. The T-28s are maintaining their bombing and strafing runs--with occasional success--as weather permits.

Cyprus a. The island continues to be relatively quiet, but it may not be much longer. b. Makarios has told UN rep- resentatives that if the main road north to Kyrenia is not opened soon, he is going to crack down on the Turkish Cypriots by bottling them up in their own areas and cut- ting off essential services. e. Grivas' schedule may be set back by Papandreou, who told Ambassador Labouisse yesterday that this did not seem the best time for his return. Papandreou also agreed to try to keep a close rein on Makarios during the period of his and Inonu's visits to Washington.

Argentina b. Two Soviet ships which called at Santiago de Cuba last week probably picked up most Soviet personnel in the eastern air de- fense sector. The Cubans are now in almost full control of SAM and radar operations in this area. c. Both activities in the central sector are also in Cuban hands. a. Tension is building up again as the Peronist unions in the labor federation get ready for a new phase in their "action plan." b. This would involve nation- wide, 24-hour "occupations" this week of all business and industrial establishments. They also plan to cut off oil pipelines to the re- fineries. c. Efforts at conciliation between the unions and government apparently are getting nowhere. The Peronists apparently have po- litical as well as economic objec- tives, but it is not clear yet how far they are willing to go.

Maphilindo All the players are on hand but there still may be no game at the Tokyo sum- mit. The two sides claim to have worked out the procedures for Thai verification of Indonesian withdrawals, but clashes are con- tinuing in Sarawak between security forces and Indonesians trying to infiltrate before the withdrawal begins. In any event, Sukarno reports he is "having fun" in Tokyo. B. British Guiana The governor's forceful take- over of emergency powers on Saturday should bring at least a respite from four months of communal violence and terrorism. Police and army units moved quickly to arrest over 30 key figures in Jagan's party. Jagan may try to use the move as a new pretext to avoid ? elections. C. Brazil Kubitschek flew off to Madrid Satur- day. He promised the Brazilian people, in a parting "manifesto," that he would return to carry on the struggle.

The Keyhole mission of 5-8 June has given us good coverage of the Tyuratam rangehead, Soviet ICBM complexes, and a new Chinese nuclear reactor. b. The second half of the package will be available later this week, when we will have a fuller assessment of the mission. c. We find a good deal of new activity at Tyuratam. The speed and scope of this expansion re- flect the Soviet effort to develop new ICBM systems and facilities for future space operations. d. A new, larger diameter ICBM silo under construction also showed up suggesting the Soviets are developing a system for in- silo launch at hardened sites. e. The mission covered all or part of eight of the 18 known ICBM complexes. We now have seen all but two during the past ten months. No new construction starts were detected during this period, and the new photography confirms construction was halted on at least two additional sites in 1963. f. The coverage of northwest- ern China confirms that the in- stallation at Chih-Chin-Hsia is a new reactor under construction.
