1. Morocco-
Algeria
a. Stymied by superior Moroc-
can force in the disputed border
area, the Algerians, as we had feared,
have carried the conflict northward,
attacking and defeating a small Mo6%
roccan garrison at Ich, some 100
miles northeast of Colomb-Bechar.
They are also building up in the
Tlemcen area.
b. Ben Bella, now in uniform
and busily sending government depu-
ties off to war, is whipping up an
emotional atmosphere. The Algerian
press, in Castro-like tones, contin-
ues to explain the frontier incidents
in terms of monarchist-imperialist
plots against the Algerian state and
people.
c. Both parties are hard at
work trying to line up support, if
not aid; Algeria from the Communist
and Afro-Asian nations at the UN,
and Morocco from Spain, France, and,
if possible, other Western countries.
Neither party wants UN intervention,
yet at least.
d. Haile Selassie and Nkrumah,
the latter through his foreign min-
ister, Botsio, are currently trying
to mediate, although they avoid
using the term. So are Syria and
Iraq.

2, Congo
a. The plan to put Leopold-
ville under a state of emergency is
being held up until after Adoula re-
turns (he arrived in Leopoldville
last night).
b. The idea is to get his ap-
Aprovalld
c. Mobutu appears prepared to
support emergency decrees.
d. While the so-called "state
of exception" will apply to Leopold-
ville only, other areas, such as
Stanleyville, have been under a
"state of exception" for some time,
and its application in Leopoldville
will undoubtedly be felt beyond the
city limits.
e. Adoula's position in the
immediate future remains unclear
?but, Ambassador Gullion is very
pessimistic. He believes Adoula's
regime is now perilously close to
dissolution. The political disquiet,
?he feels, is due to the government's
inability to stem the process of
economic decay seen particularly in
massive unemployment, flight of cap-
ital, and, is always, corruption.

? 3. Cuba
a. Cuban
'critical" shortages of
goods, such as food, water, clothing
and gasoline, for example, have be-
come commonplace since the hurricane.
b. Even so, the Cubans persist
in their hardnosed attitude toward
foreign aid. They refuse to allow an
adviser to be sent from the Red Cross in
Geneva, with the result that little,
if any, further aid from that quarter
will be forthcoming.
e, The Chinese, however, are
outdoing themselves, To hear them
tell it, they are sending 20,000
tons of rice, 30,000. tong of wheat,'
nearly 4 million meters. of cloth,
1 million pairs of rubber shoes,
20,000 tons of cement, etc., etc.,
goods in quantities which Most Chinese,
we are sure, did not know they had
to spate.

NOTES
A. Britain Lord Home has succeeded in forming a govern-
ment after tense negotiations throughout most of
yesterday and last night to quell an incipient re-
bellion in party ranks.
B. USSR
C.
Khrushchev's chemical fertilizer project will
be pursued full speed, despite heavy expenditures
for imported grain. Other sectors of the economy
will hare to suffer.
e major portion of funds allocated to capital
construction would go to the chemical industry.
Plans for other projects were being curtailed.
