1. Cuba
2. Yemen
a. Selection of President Dorti-
cos to head the Cuban-UN delegation
suggests that Castro intends to make a
major effort in the current UN session.
b. Dorticos, who is expected
to deliver the main Cuban address to
the Assembly on Friday, ranks fourth
after the Castro brothers and Che Gue-
vara in the official party listing.
c. The Cubans probably hope
they can get through the UN this year
a resolution calling on the US and
Cuba to settle their differences in bi-
lateral discussions. Such a resolution
would be difficult for many non-aligned
countries to oppose.
a. Hasan and the rebel regime
in Sana continue to marshal their
forces for the tussle ahead, but thus
far have made no moves to close for
the showdown.

c. As for overt intervention
by Yemen's neighbors, Saudi Arabia
and Jordan, the odds at ese
appear to be against it.
d. Word from our legation in
Taiz is that the army is under
strict orders to protect foreigners.
The American community, however, is
under virtual house arrest due to
Yemeni suspicions that the US will
support Hasan. On Monday, army
guards were only just able to pre-
vent demonstrators from breaking
into the legation courtyard.
e. In Cairo, the official line
is that things are moving nicely in
Yemen and no outside interference
is called for. UAR spokesmen, both
in Cairo and at the UN, are trying
to find out where we stand and
whether we will use our influence
to dissuade the British and others
from dabbling in the affair.

? NOTES
A. Warsaw Pact The military exercise in Czechoslovakia
and East Germany, which began last Thursday, ended on
Monday. We think there is a good chance that this
show, like the ones held in Hungary and the Balkans
during the past six months, was a preliminary workout
to an overall Pact exercise sometime before the end
of the year.
B. East Germany
recent
C. USSR-Bloc As expected, last week's high-level
meeting of the bloc's Economic Coordinating Council
in Moscow was devoted to long-range planning of the
ways and means of promoting economic integration.
The next session is tentatively set for December.
European Integration Ambassador MacArthur doubts
that France's position has been enhanced by last
week's pitch to tighten bilateral cooperation with
Bonn. On the contrary, he feels that it will strength-
en the resolve of the lowland countries, and perhaps
Italy, to go slow on political integration until the
UK is safely in the Common Market.
East German leaders
hear Ulbricht report'on his
visit to the USSR.
E. France-OAS
F. Thailand Sarit has passed the word to his editors to
stop knocking the US on the arms to Cambodia issue.
Our Bangkok embassy doubts that our relations have
suffered any permanent damage from the month-long cam-
paign, but is not sure we have heard the last of the
matter.
