South Vietnam f. Both Communist and Nation- alist China are getting into the act. g. Peiping has declared the struggle against Malaysia a "common task" of the Chinese and Indonesian people. At the Tunkuts invitation, Chinese Nationalist Foreign Minister Shen is en route to Kuala Lumpur for four days on a trip announced publicly as taking him "to Bangkok and other places." a. We hear again that the Viet Cong in the Saigon area are being told to concentrate now on infiltration and subversion--as opposed to terrorism. b. Agents are to start a whispering campaign blaming reli- gious clashes on Americans and painting Khanh and Khiem as US stooges. Popular agitation and Buddhist attacks on Khanh are to be fostered. / a recent article in a Saigon newspaper thought to be a mouthpiece for Buddhist leader Tri Quang attributes religious strife to American influence.

Congo d. In Cambodia on Wednesday, Prince Sihanouk harped publicly on last Saturday's fracas on the Cambodian- South Vietnamese border. e. He portrayed it as a US/ South Vietnamese effort to create a "pretext for invading" Cambodia ..."only the Nazis, of sinister memory had the diabolic audacity to stage such fabrications." f. Ambassador Kidder thinks Sihanouk may be frightened and that he may seriously believe this.

Cyprus c. US officials in Leopold- ville are concerned over Van der Walle's preoccupation with recap- turing rebel-held areas--he gives "absolutely no thought" to civil actions that must take place after liberation. d. From Elisabethville in Katanga, however, we do hear that at last some 3,000 ex-Katanga gendarmes in Angola are being readied for a special force being cooked up to police liberated cities. e. The US service attaches see the chances for holding Coquil- hatville as improving--unless panic spreading in Congolese Army ranks there nullifies the effect of the arrival of the mercenaries. a. On Tuesday, both Greece and Turkey asked NATO into the act to help head off a showdown. NATO Secretary General Brosio was com- missioned to find out how. b. Brosio feels he should first determine how serious they are--he wants "clear written repre- sentations."' C-.

Cuba-Uruguay Cuban reaction to Uruguay's break in relations--leaving Mexico the only OAS holdout--has been relatively mild.
