1. Congo
a. Tshombe arrived in Leo-
poldville this morning and went
immediately to see Adoula.
b. Before leaving Brussels
yesterday Tshombe talked with
Ambassador MacArthur. He said he
was returning at the request of
both Kasavubu and Adoula, and is
ready to play an "important role"
in the Congo, if asked.
c. Tshombe said the solution
to the Congo situation lies in a
"national conciliation." He be-
lieves it is necessary to bring
the dissident and exiled Congolese
into the government, where he
thinks they would represent a
lesser danger to stability. He
would include some of thern CNL in
this.
d. He would give Gizenga his
freedom and thus end his appeal as
a "martyr," but would not put him
in the government.
e. Tshombe believes that
the ANC must be disbanded, and
then rebuilt, preferably with
Belgian cadres.

2. Laos
f. Tshombe left the impres-
sion that the French had been talk-
ing to him, but that the Congo
could not expect much in terms of
material aid. France, he said,
has its hands full satisfying the
requirements of the former French
colonies in West Africa.
g. Kasavubu, meanwhile,
ordered the constitutional refer-
endum to begin yesterday and last
through 10 July. There will be
no new government until after the
voting.
a. The new Polish proposal
provides for direct discussions
among .the three Laotian factions,
meeting outside Laos.
b. 50X1
the Poles intend that 50X1
at such a meeting the ICC members
would be present only to "help"
rather than to participate fully.
This, the Poles believe, will get
around the Chinese Communist de-
mand that all the Geneva powers
join any meeting attended by some
of the powers.

3. Communist China -
North Vietnam
4. Maphilindo
c. In Vientiane, Souvanna
has told the Polish ICC member he
is ready to meet Souphannouvong
either in Laos or abroad. He still
says, however, that the principal
business of any such meeting must
be to make arrangements for a cease-
fire and the return of the Pathet
Lao forces to their former posi-
tions. Then the composition of a
Laotian delegation to a Geneva-
type conference could be arranged.
d. The military situation
is still generally quiet. No Com-
munist move against Muong Soui has
been detected.
a. Ambassador Jones saw
Sukarno yesterday for another talk,
which he describes as more like an
exercise in futility.

b. Sukarno said he was not
yet ready to agree to the foreign
ministers' meeting that Macapagal
is pushing. He wants to wait
until he is sure that the Tunku
"really wants a meeting."
c. He again laid the blame
for the Tokyo summit failure on
the Tunku's demand that all the
Indonesian guerrillas withdraw
from Kalimantan before the quadri-
partite commission could be set
Up.
d. Sukarno ended the inter-
view by telling Jones to "twist
Tunku's ears, don't simply talk
to me." Later in the day he spoke
to a mass rally in Djakarta and
gave it his usual "crush Malaysia"
exhortation.

NOTES
A. Cuba Havana Radio claims a Cuban sentry was
"seriously wounded" by a shot fired from Guan-
tanamo base last night. .Another shot allegedly
.was fired when a second Cuban soldier rushed to
his aid. The Pentagon has checked with Guan-
tanamo authorities who disclaim knowledge of
any such incident.
B.
Cuba Cuban security forces, using hundreds
of men, finally located and killed rebel leader
Mario Bravo on 25 June 50X1
Bravo's group, operating in central 50X1
Cuba, had harassed the Castro regime for several
months. The government's success will probably
give a shot in the arm to Castro's anti-
insurgency drive. 50X1
C. Tanganyika-Zanzibar There has been another
hopeful sign that the union is shaping up.
Last night Dar-es-Salaam announced that all dip-
lomatic missions in Zanzibar would be reduced
to consular level on 1 July. The move should
strengthen the central government's control
and cut down on Zanzibar's free-wheeling in
foreign affairs.
D. Czechoslovakia President Novotny has made a
personal gesture aimed at improving US-Czech
relations. At an official ceremony in Prague
on 23 June, he made a special point of singling
out Ambassador Horsey for a long and agreeable
discussion. Novotny--probably with the Rumanian
example in mind--declared "we intend to be free
and are not a satellite."
