1. Cuba
c. Castro was shrill on the
subject of raids during an
impromptu interview last Saturday.
He tried to convey the idea that
they were a big factor in his delib-
erations on whether to sign the test-
ban treaty.
d. Castro warned that the
raids, "financed encouraged, and
abetted by the US," could lead to
a crisis worse than that of last
October.
e. Moscow has chipped in with
another denunciation of these "pro-
vocations," which, it rather mildly
charges, are the work of exiles
wishing to drag the US into a mili-
tary conflict with Cuba.

2. South Vietnam
have
late
a. Viet Cong
in northern South Vietnam
been unusually active since
last month.
b. Some of these are believed
to serve points along the infiltra-
tion routes from the north. Their
heightened activity could mean that
Viet Cong strength in this area is
being augmented.
3. Sino-Soviet a. The fissure between Peiping
Dispute and Moscow grows wider.
b. Chinese representatives in
Sweden have twice assured Swedish
officials that, if the Swedes were
ever attacked by the Soviets, China
would come to Sweden's aid.

4. Arab World
c. For their part, the Soviets
have a delegation in Karachi seek-
ing landing rights in Pakistan "just
in case" Aeroflot heeds an alternate
to its route via Sinkiang to New
Delhi.
d. A Soviet official in Bel-
grade, probing US reaction to Tito's
Latin American trip, has observed
that the latter's views on coexis-
tence were surely preferable to the
Chinese, and Castroist, policies
now being spread there.
a. The Egyptians are showing
some alarm at signs of an effort by
the Baathist regimes in Syria and
Iraq to expand Baath party influence
in North Africa.

5. Malaysia
a. The Indonesians, hoping to
forestall any breaking of ranks by
the Philippines, were trying over
the weekend to get a
message from
Subandrio to Philippine Foreign Min-
ister Lopez.
b. the
purpose of the message was to give
Lopez a better idea of Indonesia's
stand on "important questions" re-
lating to Malaysia.
c. The Indonesians may have
gotten wind of the Lopez view, con-
veyed to Ambassador Stevenson yes-
terday, that the Philippines might
find it possible to accept a UN re-
port if it was sufficiently categoric
and sweeping in support of Malaysia.

NOTES
A. Laos Vientiane has returned to normal this morn-
ing. Security restrictions have been lifted except
in the immediate area of Pathet Lao headquarters.
The possibility that the Phoumi forces would over-
react to yesterday's incident and use it to remove
the Pathets from Vientiane seems to be fading.
B. South Vietnam The Saigon regime has apparently
launched an all-out effort to clamp down on anti-
government student outbursts. According to late
press reports,. armed combat troops and police have
moved into all the city's high schools. One report
says that five have been closed.
C. USSR ?A new Soviet space operation is probably in
the works,
D. USSR--Military Moscow may be taking a hesitant
first step toward implementing Khrushchev's intention
to reduce Soviet military spending. Although all
the returns are not yet in, circumstances surrounding
this year's call up of draftees lead us to believe
that some reduction in the size of Soviet forces
could result.

E. USSR-Canada-US r
F. Yugoslavia-Brazil Tito has cut his Brazilian visit
from eight to four days in the face of opposition
from Brazilian conservatives. He is scheduled to
arrive on 18 September.

in the armed forces. Arrests have been made in con-
nection with alleged schemes to free those involved
in the abortive May attempt to overthrow the govern-
