10 November 1964
USSR Anniversary: In the parade Saturday
marking the 47th anniversary of the Bolshevik
revolution, the man in the street got his first
glimpse of a number of Soviet missiles.
These included an ICBM, either an SS-7 or
SS-8. These were first flight tested in about
1961 and were operational by 1963.
In general, speeches for the celebrations.
were mild. Brezhnev re-emphasized Soviet argu-
ments in favor of "peaceful coexistence" and
hailed the US elections as proof that Americans
are tired of the cOld Var.
The only exception was the bellicose per-
formance Malinovsky put on at a Kremlin recep-
tion, when he bragged that his armed forces
could lick the Americans or anybody else.
Kosygin quickly assured Ambassador Kohler that
no threat was meant,and Pravda edited out the
more belligerent passages.

2. Sino-Soviet Relations: The congregation
of Communist leaders is beginning to break up,
although Chou En-lai is still in Moscow. A
bland communiqu?ay be issued when he leaves
later in the week.
As far as we can see, little if any move-
ment was made toward a solution of the nagging
Sino-Soviet split. Indeed, both Moscow and
Peiping used this occasion to restate their po-
sitions on the basic issues.
Thus, Pravda today argued again the need
for an international conference which the Chi-
nese do not want. The new Soviet leaders have
also outlined economic policies which the
Chinese have described as "goulash communism."
Peiping has in effect been saying that a
stronger Soviet stand against the US might
well be the price for a Sino-Soviet truce.
Saturday, a key party figure declared that
opposition to the US was the hallmark of a
true Communist. Those who tried to obscure
this point "either have been or are being
repudiated," he said.
3. Congo: Organized rebel military op-
position appears to be crumbling, and Tshombe
has issued a final call for the rebels to lay
down arms, arrest their leaders, and protect
foreigners.

The Europeans in the Kindu area by all ac-
counts had a very close call. They urge a
speedy and noisy attack on Stanleyville, pref-
erably with paratroopers. There are a few
mercenaries and some Congolese with jump
training.
The Van Der Walle Column is still in the
Kindu area waiting for supplies and orders to
move on Stanleyville.
4. Sudan: Khartoum is in a state of con-
fusion with roadblocks hindering traffic and
demonstrators milling about the streets.
The Communists who have the advantage of
being less disorganized than other groups have
been trying to seize on this or to turn the
the show against the US.
Anti-American slogans are beginning to be
heard,and the US Embassy was the target of a
group of demonstrators today. Surprisingly,
the Egyptian Embassy
has also been attacked.
If this aggressive leftist exploitation
of the uneasy situation continues, it might
spur the moderates and the .military into ac-
tion. So far, thee factions have for the
most part been sitting on their hands.

5. Bolivia: Barrientos has set up a govern-
ment of sorts and is trying to strengthen his
hand against an inevitable day of reckoning with
his many opponents.
he has surrounded
himself with old cronies many of whom are
unreliable and leftist tinged.
Trouble for the new regime will probably
not be long in coming. Opposition groups
were able to add to their already sizable stocks
of weapons during last week's confusion.
Already, restive students have seized two
of the nation's key radio stations without
resistance from the authorities.
This sort of supine attitude could encour-
age the always troublesome tin miners to come
out in open opposition. One of their leaders,
the Communist Escobar, has already urged them
to make sure that the junta does not perpetuate
itself in power
6 South Vietnam: Premier Huong got through
last weekend largely because of his own strong
stand against threatened demonstrations and a
declaration of support from General Khanh.

The vultures are still circling about
Huong's fledgling government, however, and
he is far from confident of Khanh's full
backing.
Saigon students have told him that he
must revamp his cabinet by this weekend or
face demonstrations. Several generals
do no expect his regime to
last much more than a month.
While this is going on, the Viet Cong
have remained relatively quiet.
7. Indonesia-Malaysia: With Sukarno back
in town the political atmosphere in Djakarta,
which showed signs of turbulence in his ab-
sence, should calm down.

8. Laos: There have been military movements
in several Parts of Laos these past few days
but no real clashes. With the weather improving
.and opposing forces maneuvering in close prox-
imity, these are a possibility.
9. Cyprus: A meeting of minds is no closer.
NATO Secretary General Brosio, fresh from
talks in Athens and Ankara, reports that Greek
Prime Minister Papandreou blandly asserted
there is no such thing as a Cyprus problem.
All that needs to be done,he says, is for
Cyprus to join Greece.
Turkish leaders appeared to Brosio to
remain adamantly opposed to unconditional
enosis.
Makarios, of course, gives only lip
service to enosis. Tempers on the island
itself are frayed. UN officials are trying
to prevent fighting near Kokkina in the north-
west, where both the Greek and Turkish Cypriots
have Violated the cease-fire line.

10. Nationalist China: Presidential advisor
Chang Chun has put out a careful feeler concern-
ing a trip to the US by Chiang Kai-shek.
The prospect that Chiang, who has not left
Taiwan since he set up shop there in 1949, might
be willing to come here for talks shows how
deeply the Chinese Communist nuclear test has
upset the Nationalists.
11. Western Europe: Paris' recent announcement
guaranteeing seven-year trade credits to the USSR
probably paves the way for a similar decision by
Italy.
Rome might
raise the time limit on credit from five to seven
years if the French decided to do so
