As yet there has been no comment
from Colonel Schramme and the mercen-
aries on the latest plan for their
evacuation. A journalist who was in
Bukavu last week reports they probably
will agree to get out unless they re-
ceive substantial outside reinforcement.
Mobutu set things in motion yester-
day with a formal request for supervision
50X1
of evacuation by the International Red
Cross. He did not mention safeguards
for the Katangese gendarmes with Schramme,
however.

This 50X1
could be a potential snag as Schramme
has consistently held that his Katang-
ese cohorts must be protected in any deal
for evacuation. 50X1

The government is showing a better
ability to zero-in on the guerrillas.
Over the weekend the Bolivians broke a
major guerrilla support apparatus in La
Paz, capturing a number of important
documents as well as arresting many of
the guerrillas' city helpers.
This raid follows the elimination
of a guerrilla rear guard unit on
31 August. The two successes should
bolster army morale and help stem some
of the criticism aimed at President
Barr ientos.
The Mid-Western state declared its
independence of the federal government
early this morning. The Biafrans are
probably behind this move and, aside
from adding to the general confusion,
it is not likely to have much effect on
the civil war. Federal troops are al-
ready moving into the state in force,
and independence may well be short-lived.

Special Daily Report on North Vietnam
for the President's Eyes Only
20 September 1967
Hanoi on Anti-infiltration Barrier: Comment is
still sparse on Hanoi radio, but what there is dis-
parages the proposed barrier by quoting US and other
Western press comments that the installation will be
costly, futile, and will pin down large numbers of
men in static defense.
Hanoi describes the barrier as an "attempt to
curb the movement of South Vietnamese patriotic
forces," thus avoiding even an oblique admission
that North Vietnamese troops are moving into the South.
