South Vietnam 2. Cyprus a. Khanh, his goatee gone "to mark the end of a phase," says he is determined to: get the army out of the government and out of politics. b. He told Ambassador Taylor that there is a current of anti- militarism abroad in the nation which he feels he must conciliate. c. To this end he plans to name a committee of civilians and charge them with organizing a pro- visional government by November. Taylor doubts that the committee will be able to meet this schedule. d. Khanh acknowledges that there will be "much wrangling" over this among Saigon's contentious poli- ticians and ambitious religious leaders. Indeed Khanh may be hoping to establish the need for some sort of continuing military presence by demonstrating the lack of real al- ternatives. e. Viet Cong activity remains ata low ebb. a. There are signs of a grow- ing distrust between Greek and Greek Cypriot leaders.

Makarios, we hear, has refused Papandreou's request that some lesser figure than Foreign Minister Kyprianou be sent to Moscow next week. Also, the Arch- bishop is still putting obstacles in the way of a normal rotation of Turkish troops on Cyprus. d. King Constantine told Ambassador Labouisse that he would like to find some way to trap Makarios, whom he finds an "impossible scoundrel," e, So far, however, Papan- dreou, while recognizing that he is losing face in the matter, has shown little taste for the strong measures it will take to deal with the Cypriot leader. f. In Turkey, Inonu is ap- parently going to insist on a vote of confidence from the National As- sembly on his handling of Cyprus. Such a Vote is not likely before next Wednesday.

Gabo Plaza, still preoccupied with "ex- plosive possibilities" of the econom- ic blockade of Turkish Cypriot com- munities, has asked the Greek side to live up to its agreement to ease off. 3.

Goma with its air- field may, well be next. (Cont'd) TL.

Chile 5. Tanganyika- Zanzibar f. Prior to his departure for the OAU meeting today in Addis Ababa, Tshombe, hoping to blunt the arguments of his de- tractors, told the press that he was sending all South African "volunteers" back home. a. The latest returns (0430 this morning) from yester- day's presidential election give Frei 1,463,535 votes to 975,690 for his Communist-backed Socialist opponent, Allende. b. A Frei landslide was ap- parent from the early returns, and Allende conceded only four hours after the polls closed. c. The voting was orderly and the possibilities of post- election violence have been greatly reduced by, Allende's advice to his followers, "we must know how to win and lose."

Malawi (Nyasaland) Yet another new African state is in trouble. The cabinet of pro-western Prime Minister Banda is in virtual revolt against his high-handed Methods, His fall might lead to an exodus of British civil servants and a consequent breakdown in administra- tion, as well as to greater opportunities for meddling by Bloc interests. C. Uruguay-Cuba Uruguay has put off a decision on whether to break relations with Cuba until next .week. It is not certain how the vote in-Monte- video's National Council may go, but Mexico is already, taikingas if it were standing.alone on the issue. .
