USSR-Cuba b. Government forces yester- day walked into Ban Thieng and are moving toward Muong Kassy. c. The government move thus far has met little Pathet Lao opposition. We expect a sharp reaction when Souvanna's men reach Communist strongpoints east and south of Phou Khoun.

In the east, rebel bands are still moving toward Stanleyville, the biggest prize any of the rebels have tried for yet.

UK-Yemen-UAR d. As the government suffers still further setbacks in Katanga, small groups of white mercenaries have begun to appear, very likely as officers for Tshombe's recently re-enlisted gendarmes. 50X1 r???

British Guiana Sporadic acts of racial vio- lence continue despite the ending of the sugar workers' strike. This is likely to go right on since Jagan and his followers are doing what they can to aggravate tensions. B. Chile With the elections about a month off, there is a growing concern in the camp of leftist candidate Allende over his prospects. At this juncture, polls and opinion sampling indicate that Frei should win, though the race will be close. C. Cambodia After displaying an uncharacteristic geniality for the first few days following his return from France, Sihanouk is back in form. His government has now told the UN that 77 Cambodians died of intestinal poison- ing which was contracted from "yellow powders" dropped by South Vietnamese aircraft. D. West Germany - Communist China Peiping has contracted for oil refining equipment worth $12.5 million from West Germany. This would be the first deal of any consequence between the two. P".? Tke?
