1. Congo
a. The UN move into Kolwezi
has been carried out without inci-
dent. Tshombe cast himself in the
role of amiable host.
b. U Thant's principal mili-
tary adviser, Brigadier Rikhye, said
that he foresees
the need for a sizable UN force in
the Congo for at least another year.
2. Cuba a. A Soviet military mission
has evidently arrived from Moscow
3. Yemen
a. The Yemeni revolutionary
regime is beset by deepening internal
dissension stemming from long-stand-
ing enmities between the country's
two prindipal tribal-religious group-
ings.

4. South Korea
? b. Bad feeling between the two
groups, which rests on centuries of
domination of the one by the other,
has begun to break down the bonds
of revolutionary unity.
c. The already frayed relation-
ship between President Sallal and
Vice President Baydani, the chief
figures in the regime but tribal op-
posites, is being subjected to furth-
er strain.
a. A wide-open breach in the
South Korean ruling council is de-
veloping. Several additional mem-
bers are on the verge of following
the example of Lt. Gen. Kim Tong-Ha
who quit the government yesterday.
b. This is a last ditch effort
to block South Korea's gray eminence,
long-time security chief Kim Chong-
P11, from achieving overt political
power by dominating the regime's new
tame political party.

5. Sino-Indian a. Aerial reconnaissance car-
border ried out over Tibet last Saturday
showed no unusual military activity
in the areas covered.
6. Indonesia-
USSR
b. We found no noteworthy
change in the status of the Chinese
Communist military encampments in
the Lhasa area since the last mis-
sion, flown on 10 December.
c. Our belief that there are
no tactical aircraft based in Tibet
was strengthened by Saturday's flight.
No aircraft were found at any of the
several major Tibetan airfields ob-
served.
a. Moscow is perhaps showing
its hand too much in its tactics to
gain leverage on the Indonesian econ-
omy.
b./
)offered the Indonesians some
$100 million in economic credits be-
yond those already extended.

7. EEC
a. A member of Adenauer's en-
tourage in Paris asserts that the
French will be told that any Franco-
German accord will need Bundestag
ratification. Given the strong sen-
timent there in favor of bringing
the UK into EEC, this tactic would
hopefully induce some relaxation in
De Gaulle's strong stand against the
British.
b. Foreign Minister Schroeder
is holding to his strong advocacy
of the British cause.
c. The Dutch among the other
EEC partners, have so far registered
the strongest protest against the
French attitude. Many top officials
in The Hague predict an end to the
EEC if the UK negotiations break down.

NOTES
A. USSR This year the 17-year age group as well as
the normal 18-year group is being put on draft rolls
for the first time since wartime rules were re-
laxed. The measure is apparently' intended to main-
tain force levels (now estimated at 3.2 million)
while the small war and immediate post-war classes
are reaching draft age.
B. Venezuela Communist paramilitary squads are in
the midst of a new round of terrorist attacks, this
one apparently timed to paint the worst possible
background setting for President Betancourt's up-
coming foreign tour.
C. Dominican Republic Two Dominican Consuls, one in
Haiti and one in Panama, have been murdered at their
posts during the past month. The Haitians will prob-
ably look the other way, but the Panamanian govern-
ment is investigating what could be the work of
Trujillist terrorists.
E. Italy The Nenni socialists, now that they have a
part in the making of Italian governmental policy,
seem to have moved to a radically different outlook
toward the problems of Western defense. Both Nenni
and his heir-apparent spoke out for Italian partici-
pation in a multilateral nuclear force in a recent
meeting with Henry Kissinger,
