dockside at the port of Mariel.
The transporters
are now gone

indicated yesterday is suspected of
carrying arms, is definitely Cuba-

the concentra-
tion of the 12 Komar missile patrol
boats in the waters of western Cuba
is, not a temporary move. The four
Komars which have been redeployed
from Banes in Oriente Province, where
they had been stationed since mid-
October, are being
returned to their "previous assign-
ments." Their withdrawal leaves the
northeastern sea approaches to the
island protected by only one subchaser
and one patrol boat.
a. U Thant is encouraged by
the communique issued by Tshomb4
after his return to Elisabethville
yesterday.
b. Correspondents who talked
with Tshomb4 during the day quoted
him as renewing his threat of destruc-
tion. However, the communique which?
emerged later was altogether differ-
ent in tone. In it, Tshomb4 declares
that he had returned to Elisabethville
to restore "calm and peace," and "this
essentially consists of the rapid ap-
plication of the Thant plan without
further bloodshed and without useless
destruction."

c. U Thant has indicated that he
has enough now to justify making con-
tact with Tshombe. Before he was in-
formed of Tshombe's statement, he? had
sent word to Bunche that a formula
should be found which would permit the
establishment of contact with Tshombe,
on condition that Tshomb4 had first
signaled his readiness to cooperate
with the UN. He would show this by
allowing the UN to enter Kolwezi peace-
ably.
We have not learned yet how
Bunche has responded. Any action on
his part will in any case have to await
his return to Elisabethville from Leo-
poldville.
e. Adoula is contemplating an
early visit to Elisabethville with the
aim of establishing a "presence," not
for a meeting with Tshombe.
f. The Union Miniere seems, mean-
while, to be doubling back toward famil-
iar positions. Company officials are
viewing with alarm the danger of Katan-
gan sabotage of mining installations.
Stonewalling tactics on the part of the
company representatives sent to Leopold-
ville to negotiate a payments agreement
have brought the discussions to a virtual
standstill.

g. Tribal warfare of serious
proportions has erupted in Kasai
province. Foreigners returning to
Leopoldville from the province say
that upwards of 500 inhabitants have.
been killed- :Central government of-
ficials put the blame on members of
the suspended parliament who have
transferred their trouble-making to
Kasai.
a. Moscow is sending its top
operational expert in intra-bloc
party affairs to North Vietnam. An-
other of the Soviet party's secre-
taries, with like credentials, is
presently in Mongolia. With Khru,
shcheV himself due at. .the East Ger-
man party congress opening on 15 Jan-
uary, the battle lines in the Sino-
Soviet controversy are being drawn
tighter and tighter.
b. The Chinese, for their part,
are giving the two major broadsides
they directed against Moscow last
month a massive propaganda replay.
Nearly a quarter of the broadcasts
in this campaign are beamed to the
Soviet Union in Russian.
a. Referendum returns are al-
most in. The vote for a return to
a presidential system is gauged at
about five to one.

b. Goulart has begun blocking
out a new cabinet. His first choice
for the foreign ministry is San
Thiago Dantas, who is Brazil's fore-
most exponent of an "independent" for-
eign policy.
c. Ambassador Campos, home from
his Washington post, tells Ambassador
Gordon that he has been encouraged by
the general tone he detected in a long
discussion with Goulart.
?d. However, Campos revealed
that Goulart is nursing the notion that
top officials in the US Embassy are
working against him. Gordon, Goulart
said, was personally sympathetic but
was getting too much of his informa-
tion from Goulart's enemies. He
claimed to have a "damning dossier" on
the US military attache.
e. Campos and Gordon agree that
it would help if Gordon were to meet
directly with Goulart to knock down
these allegations.

TiZrEurOpe after the military junta vetoed him as preSi

stitutional guarantees are still in suspense:
