on the King Wednesday and found

regime may have drifted too far to
the left in recent months.
b.
the debate on this issue in the

So far, at least, Ne Win
has taken no steps which could con-
ceivably be viewed as an effort to
extend an olive branch to the US.
e. Meanwhile the restless
minorities in eastern Burma are
becoming more and more of a head-
ache to the general.
f. his forces 50X11
control only the Bhamo and Myitkyina
areas in the Kachin state, and
they are not much better off in
the Shan states to the south.

NOTES
? A. Algeria Ben Bella seems to have the upper
hand for the moment over the latest military
challenge to his rule. Government forces
have occupied the main towns in the Biskra
area, and Chabaane has presumably taken to
the hills. Chabaane's action was not coordi-
nated with other elements of Ben Bella's
divided opposition in Constantine, Oran or
the Kayblie.
? B. Tanganyika-Zanzibar The East Germans and
Soviets are still stalling on reducing their
embassies on Zanzibar to consulates as directed
by union officials for 1 July. Both may be
hoping to put off a decision until Nyerere
and Kambona depart next week for a round of
conferences which will keep these champions
of the union out of the country for most of
July. North Vietnam is apparently complying.
C. Libya the
minister of defense, anticipating his early
removal from office, is looking into the possi-
bilities of an army coup to overthrow the
monarchy.
army maneuvers have been
moved up from the normal October date to 11
July, suggesting to some that a move may be
made then.

D. France-Africa Paris has decided to withdraw
French forces from Africa below the Sahara.
The withdrawal is to be carried out slowly and
undramatically. This could effect the fortunes
of several regimes, such as that of Leon Mba
in Gabon, which are heavily dependent on French
power.
E. De Gaulle - South America
the general will be making the full 10-
country tour of South America in late September
and early October. Contrary to some earlier
suggestions, Brazil will be on his itinerary.
The trip will be broken by two three-day
cruises on a French warship. Consideration
is still being given to a single Central
American stop where all the Central American
chiefs of state could be gathered.
F. France-Germany Despite the fact that De Gaulle
is taking half of his cabinet with him to Bonn
today and tomorrow, the French insist that
this is to be a purely routine affair and that
"nothing special" will be discussed.
