1. .South Vietnam
a. "Big" Minh intends to
unveil his new national council
later in the week, perhaps tomorrow.
He hopes to come up with a new gov-
ernmental list by the 1 November
deadline.
b. He agrees with Ambassador
Taylor that this could be Vietnam's
last chance for orderly and peace-
ful evolution to a stable govern-
ment.
Meanwhile, the mutiny of
the Rhade tribesmen is still unre-
solved and, according to the press,
strikes have now broken out on
French-owned rubber plantations
north of Saigon.

Congo
a. With Tshombe back in the
Congo, radicals on the OAU Congo
commission are having things pretty
much their way. Their idea is to
lend dignity and stature to the
rebels at the Tshombe government's
expense.
b. Yesterday, the commission
heard representatives of the rebels
and then announced it was sending
a mission to Washington, The US
is trying to discourage this.
c. The radicals have also
been pressing for their own version
of a Congolese "national reconcilia-
tion" without regard for the views
of the government. They are trying
to get Tshombe to accept a cease-
fire applicable to "both sides."
Similar proposals were turned down
by the OAU foreign ministers earlier
in the month.
d. One reason for the radicals'
success so far has been their ability
to feed on Kenyatta's fears that
his reputation as an African leader
would suffer from too close an
identification with Tshombe.

4. Dominican Republic
n the Congo itself
rebel
bands are stirring once again in
the north around Boende and near
the northern border. Bukavu is
being menaced.
f, The Red Cross relief flight
into rebel-held Stanleyville is set
for Thursday if final clearance
comes through. This is by no means
certain since we have tenuous indi-
cations that trouble has broken
out among the wrangling rebels
there.
a. Friday is the first anni-
versary of the overthrow of Juan
Bosch,and the pro-Communist student
leaders in Santo Domingo hope to
make it "a day of patriotic struggle
against dictatorship."
b. We think it improbable
that their challenge will unsettle
the Reid regime, but too much
enthusiasm on the part of the stu-
dents or a too hard-nosed handling
of them by the security forces could
lead to some blood letting.

5. Indonesia-
Malaysia
(
a. Before taking off to see
the world again, Sukarno set up a
series of "regional executive
authorities," headed by army men
for the most part.
b. We take this to be a
typical Sukarno maneuver, designed
in this case to keep the island's
obstreperous Communists in line
while he is away. He had been
giving them their head until
recently.
c. Although these "authorities"
were handed broad local powers,
Sukarno stopped considerably short
of giving the army the kind of
power it had before May 1963 when
martial law was in effect.
e. In connection with the
soothing sounds Sukarno was making
as he left,the Tunku now says he
is prepared to meet Sukarno again,
provided all Indonesian troops are
taken off Malaysian soil and he is
convinced that the Indonesian sin-
cerely wants peace.

6. Cyprus
a. The Greek Cypriots are
putting the best face they can on
the talks in Moscow, which are
obviously not going in the direc-
tion they wished. Foreign Minister
Kyprianou, tied up with the UN
debate, still hopes to fly to
Moscow this week to try to get the
talks back on the track.
b. Ambassador Kohler has
the impression from Soviet coverage
of the talks that Moscow may come
up with economic aid proposals
rather than large doses of military
equipment.
c. The Soviets have also been
pointing to Warsaw Pact exercises
like the one just completed in
Bulgaria as evidence of bloc "com-
bat readiness" in the context of
NATO threats to Cyprus.
d. After much hemming and
hawing, the Greeks have finally
agreed to talks with the Turks under
the auspices of NATO Secretary
General Brosio. They say they will
talk about any existing problem
except Cyprus which they hold is
under UN jurisdiction.

NOTES
B. Singapore Racial antagonisms have been fur-
ther Tanned by a highly partisan speech by the
Tunku in which he declared that "politicians
in Singapore" were not blameless in the recent
riots. Singapore political leaders, Chinese
for the most part, feel they must answer the
attack and the upshot could well be another
outburst in the troubled port.
. Malta Contrary to press accounts of street
violence during Malta's independence celebra-
tions, US observers on the island report that
the police prevented all but two or three minor
scuffles.
