1, Cyprus
a. Our ambassador in Nicosia
thinks Cyprus will continue its
evolution into a "Mediterranean
Cuba" unless a basically pro-Greek
political solution can be worked
out soon.
b. Greek Cypriot hysteria
over the threat of Turkish invasion
has been exploited to the hilt by
the local Communists. So thoroughly
have they moved in on the nationalist
movement that even Grivas--as anti-
Communist as he is--has had to make
at least temporary peace with them,
c. Athens, now convinced
that Makarios wants complete inde-
pendence, thinks he may take his
case to the UN General Assembly
where he can get support from Com-
munist bloc members.
d. Papandreou has now come
down on immediate enosis as the only
way to get the situation out of
Makarios' hands.
e. Various military prepara-
tions and gestures by both sides
continue.

2. Congo
3. South Vietnam
a. Government troops have
been sent back to Kamina and appar-
ently are holding the city. One
town in the area north of Leopold-
ville has been retaken from the
rebels.
b. There has been a new out-
break of fighting in Kwilu Province,
however, and agitators in Stanley-
ville are planning to stir up
trouble in the city.
c. Tshombe, who told our am-
bassador that the National Army
was "worthless," said he could put
down the rebellions in two months
if he could get immediate US money,
arms, and vehicles for his Katangan
gendarmes. He said he would use
the gendarmes to "back up" the army.
d. Tshombe, who has not yet
committed his white mercenaries,
has indicated he might not have to
use them if he gets enough help
from us.
a. Our suggestion that Ithe
current Viet Cong drive might be
tapering off seems to have been
premature.

4. Laos
b. Since last Thursday they
have made four attacks in battalion
and company strength, in addition
to the two ambushes of government
forces near Saigon during the week.
d. Khanh has "clatified" his
"march north" speech of 31 July.
The government press says that the
policy is to "stop the invasion by
Red China.. .and end the war" but
that this does not mean a military
strike at North Vietnam.
a. The success of Operation
Triangle has put Laotian military
and political leaders in a state
of euphoria.

b. Souvanna, however, told
Ambassador Unger it was still nec-
essary to "find and destroy" the
enemy. Unger thinks that Souvanna
will stay cool in the face of mili-
tary "cockiness."
d. The new Soviet charg?n
Vientiane told Unger that perhaps
nothing could be resolved on the
Laotian question until after the
US elections.

NOTES
-- A. North Vietnam Yesterday's attack on USS
Maddox was planned and directed by naval
authorities ashore. In recent weeks inter-
cepts have shown Hanoi's navy reacting with
greater touchiness to US and South Vietnamese
activities in the Tonkin Gulf. Maddox and
the accompanying Turner Joy are still under
intense Vietnamese surveillance.
. Cambodia - South Vietnam
/ The Soviet UN representative said
he was "against" observers but had not been
instructed on what form his opposition is to
take. Sihanouk is still hammering away on
the "poison powder" issue.
Communist China - Portugal The Chinese Com-
munists have loudly denied they have been in
touch with Lisbon about diplomatic relations.
Peiping must have concluded that this game
was not worth the candle, since it would not
sit at all well with newly independent African
states.
Tanganyika-Zanzibar An economic mission will
visit Dar-es-Salaam in mid-September to work
out the disposition of China's credit and grant
aid ($31 million in all) to Tanganyika. Al-
ready agreed in principle are a state farm, a,
farm implement factory, a textile mill,and some
light industrial installations.
