Cyprus a. Now that Grivas is firmly settled in Cyprus, Makarios is faced with a challenge. The arch- bishop is a wily one, but Grivas appears right now to have the sup- port to play whatever role on the island he chooses.

Congo f. The island remains quiet for the time being. a. Tshombe is on the way back to Leopoldville this morning. He told the press yesterday that he was returning at the invitation of the Congo Government. b. We know of no formal in- vitation to him from the authorities in Leopoldville, and he may simply be on a fishing trip. e. Resistance to the spread of the anti-Adoula infection in the Congo's east, never very firm, is fast fading.

Communist China - Indochina 50X1 a similar 50X1 situation exists elsewhere. The Chinese Communists are not far off the mark when they describe it as "an excellent revolutionary situa- tion." a. Foreign Minister Chen Yi's statement yesterday that China would "not sit idly by" and see the flames of war spread into China is the harshest note yet sounded by Peiping in its latest propaganda barrage on Southeast Asia. b. Like other voices in this chorus, however, Chen was unclear about just what Communist China may do. Though Peiping could easily raise tensions by moving troops about on its southern borders, it has not yet done so. c. On balance we are inclined to regard this latest sound and fury out of the Chinese capital as part of a campaign to get a full-dress Geneva conference on Indochina going.

Laos 5. UAR - Yemen - Saudi Arabia a. There has been little ground activity, although neutral- ist positions east of Muong Soul yesterday were subjected to light Communist artillery fire. e. French Ambassador Millet on instructions has protested to Souvanna about US overflights with- out getting much satisfaction from the now aggressive Lao leader.

USSR-Cuba-US Khrushchev told Krag last week that the Soviets would do nothing about US overflights of Cuba prior to the US elections. Thereafter, Khrushchev added, US reconnais- sance planes over Cuba would be "shot down by Russians." We feel that by then the problem will in large part have passed from Soviet hands along with the command and control of the SAM system. B. South Arabia C. Kenya-Somalia First signs of the new Abdira- zak government's attitude toward Somali tribes- men across the borders are encouraging. Patrols in Northeast Kenya report that dissident Shifta bands are dispersing and that some Shiftas have returned from Somalia with instructions to cease operations until further notice. The question is how long the new government can or will persist in such a policy in the highly charged ethnic situation.

USSR-Indonesia E. France-Cambodia We fully expect Sihanouk's state visit to France to result in new French economic and military aid.
