I. Bolivia
2. Soviet Anniversary
a. The Barrientos junta is
quite obviously trying to buy time
while it strengthens itself against
the inevitable day of reckoning.
b. Barrientos has plans to
increase the size of the military,
hoping in this way to put himself
in position to tear up agreements
made with opposition elements as
a matter of expediency.
d. The Communist Party
has no plans for immediate armed
action. Rather, the party first
will try to forge a common leftist
front with the Lechin forces for
political action.
a. The ICBM, shown in public
for the first time during the an-
niversary parade Saturday, was
either an SS-7 or an SS-8. Both,
while transportable by truck, re-
quire elaborate fixed launch sites.

b. Flight testing of the SS-7 50X1
and SS-8 began in about 1961 and
the first sites were operational
by 1963.
c. Several lesser missiles
were displayed, also for the first
time. Among these were an SS-5
the IRBM
50X1
and 50X1
SS-N-5, an underwater launched mis-
sile now carried by a few Soviet
submarines.
d. Also displayed was some-
thing described as an antimissile
missile, but it was so concealed
in a canister that little can be
said about it.

3. Sino-Soviet Relations
a. At a Kremlin reception
after the parade, Malinovsky un-
burdened himself of a belligerent
toast, asserting that the Soviet
Armed Forces could destroy the USA
or anyone else.
b. Kosygin immediately sought
out Ambassador Kohler to say that
the general's remarks were in no
sense a threat against the US.
Yesterday's Pravda omitted or softened
much of what Malinovsky said.
c. Whatever the background
of his remarks,they doubtless went
down well in Peiping where the
leaders have in the past few days
been suggesting that a stronger
Soviet stand against the US might
well be the price for a Sino-
Soviet truce.
d. Yesterday, a key party
figure declared that opposition to
the US was the hallmark of a true
Communist. Those who tried to ob-
scure this point "either have
been or are being repudiated."

4. Sudan
a. The new Sudanese revo-
lution may be moving farther toward
the left.
b. The Communists are said
to have asserted themselves strongly
in all cabinet deliberations
c. We think the Communists
are behind a new flock of rumors
concerning another coup.
d. Their hand is also discern-
ible in the student demonstrations
last evening, which had a pronounced
anti-American cast. One speaker
styled last month's overthrow of
the Abboud government as a "people's
revolution."
e. We are not sure how far
this will go. A call has gone
out for massive demonstrations to-
day, and these may be aimed at
the palace and the US Embassy.

5. Japan
a. We do not expect any
abrupt policy shifts from Eisaku
Sato, the new prime minister.
b. Sato,a leading member of
of the more conservative side of
the ruling Liberal-Democratic Party,
has long championed Taiwan and is
apt to be as slow as public opinion
will permit in moving toward closer
ties with Peiping.
c. He told Ambassador Reischauer
last week that he would like to see
Japan take a larger role in its
own defense. He also said he would
try to get a Japanese satellite into
orbit as soon as possible to show
his country's scientific prowess
in the face of the Chinese nuclear
test.
e. Sato is likely to stir
up more controversy than his prede-
cessor. He has asserted that he
would prefer a short, vigorous
tenure to a long, pedestrian one
like Ikeda's. .

6. Congo
a. The Van Der Walle group
is pausing in the Kindu area to
regroup and bring up supplies. It
is uncertain when it will push off
for Stanleyville.
b. The Europeans in Kindu,
who by all accounts had a very
narrow escape during the relief
of the town, are urging the
quickest possible move against
Stanleyville, preferably a noisy
attack with paratroopers. There
are some mercenaries and a small
Congolese unit with parachute
training.
c. Tshombe, thinking he
hears the death rattle of the
rebels, has broadcast a "final
call" asking that they lay down
their arms, deliver up the rebel
leaders, and protect all foreigners.

NOTES
A. Nationalist China Presidential advisor Chang
Chun has put out a careful feeler concerning a
possible trip to the US by Chiang Kai-shek.
The possibility that Chiang, who has not left
Taiwan since he set up shop there in 1949,
might be willing to come here for talks with
President Johnson shows how deeply the Chi-
nese Communist nuclear test has upset the
Nationalists.
B. France - Communist China - UN
50X1
he intends to have the 50X1
French UN delegation introduce a motion in
in favor of seating Communist China. 50X1
two officials have been 50X1
sent to line up support from some of the old
French colonies in Africa.
