1. Vietnam
. Cyprus
In a speech to his National Assem-
bly Saturday, Ho Chi Minh acknowledged
that the situation was "tense." He went
on to insist that Hanoi would, never-
theless, refuse to bow to "US force."
He reiterated that the only way
the problem can be settled is for the
US to pull out of South Vietnam and
stop its attacks on North Vietnam.

that 30-odd Greek Air Force per-
sonnel have returned to Cyprus. Accord-
ing to this report, they are scheduled
to proceed from there to Egypt for
training on Soviet SAMs.
Prime Minister Papandreou last
week assured Ambassador Labouisse that
Greek involvement with Soviet SAMs was
"finished." The Greeks may, however, be
reluctant to leave a vacuum to be filled 50)(1
by the Egyptians.

Indian-Pakistani relations are
plagued by clashes at a number of widely
separated points along the border.
There have been sporadic exchanges
of fire across the desolate Kutch marshes
for the past five days. (See map.) A
lull has set in today, but both sides'I.
have beefed up their forces by more than
3,000 men, and further firing is likely.
At the same time, incidents continue
at a high rate along the cease-fire line
in Kashmir. Tensions are also high
around the borders of East Pakistan where
there have been several incidents recently.
Each side has tried to embroil the
US in this round of troubles by charging
that the other has used ,US equipment in
the fighting.

6. Thailand
7. Laos
The Thai Government is rounding up
?the Phoumi-Siho followers who crossed
the border from Laos after the abortive
rebellion last February. This should
improve Bangkok's relations with Sou-
vanna Phouma, who has been urging such
a move for some time.
Agreement has apparently been
reached for new talks between the gov-
ernment factions and the Pathet Lao in
Vientiane next week. If no hitches de-
velop, these will be the first talks in-
side Laos since the rightist coup a year
ago. They will almost surely be no more
than exploratory in nature, since Sou-
vanna is expected to be out of the coun-
try.
?The military situation is quiet.
Communist forces east of Savannakhet
(See map.) are being restocked and, per-
haps, reinforced, which could point to
a Communist move in the area before the
rainy season settles in.
