1. Cyprus
a. The island is reported
quiet this morning following the
recent violence at Limassol, though
the cease-fire ar-
ranged there is extremely precarious.
b. It is now established that
this incide-t, in which at least 16
were killed and nearly 50 wounded--
mostly Turks?was a pre-planned and
coordinated attack by Greek Cypriots
who evidently believed the Turkish
Cypriots were planning to seize the
port facilities.
c. Theyused automatic weapons,
mortars, and armored bulldozers in
the assault.
d. Although we are without the
results of Under Secretary Ball's
final meeting with Makarios this
morning, it is clear that Makarios
has been unmoved, still insisting
on going to the UN and working out
a peacekeeping force from there.
e. He obviously has an exag-
gerated impression of his prospects
for quick and favorable treatment
at the UN.

g. The Turkish National Security
Council was called into session yes-
terday, ?with top military commanders
present. There are no indications
yet of any decisions taken, but the?
government has publicly warned that
"urgent measures must be taken to
establish security on Cyprus."
h. In southern Turkey, troops
continue amphibious assault training.
i. Press reports this morning
say that the port of Iskenderun has
been cleared of civilian shipping and
the main quay taken over by the navy.
k. Because of the tense situa-
tion, Ankara has decided not to par-
ticipate in the NATO exercise scheduled
to take place off Malta beginning on
24 February.

2. Laos a. Communist military pressure
continues on several fronts in Laos.
b. That the Communists mean busi-
ness is indicated by the presence of
regular North Vietnamese (PAVN) bat-
talions in several areas. Since the
Geneva Accords of 1962, the mainte-
nance of the Communist position had
been left mostly in the weaker hands
of the Pathet Lao brethren.
c. In south and central Laos,
two or three PAVN battalions have
stiffened a Pathet Lao push which
now threatens the Mekong valley,
Route 13, and the towns of Thakhek
and Savannakhet.
d. In the Plaine des Jarres?
the Pathet Lao/
have displaced Lao Army elements
from positions near Communist-held
Xieng Khouang town.

f, Talk, meanwhile, of ICC
investigations, even in those areas
accessible to them, remains just
talk.
g. The situation clearly has
the Thais on edge.
h. They have asked for a
special SEATO meeting
3. Ethiopia- a. Sporadic fighting continued
Somalia into yesterday along the border.
b. The dispute has ?been in-
scribed in the agenda of the OAU
African Foreign Ministers meeting
currently under way in Dar-es-Salaam.
c. The prospect is that some-
thing similar to the decision in the
Algerian-Moroccan dispute will emerge,
with a cease-fire order and a commis-
sion appointed to investigate and
report back.

4. Yemen
d. Haile Selassie will not
like this idea much. On the spot
investigation will show up Ethiopian
inability to control tribesmen in
the Ogaden area, and it will do noth-
ing,the Ethiopians think, to stop
inflammatory Somali radiobroadcasts.
e. The Somali position does
not have wide African support, how-
ever, and Haile Selassie, founding
father of the OAU, will probably
wind up cooperating with the organi-
zation.
a. Yemeni royalist activity
has picked up somewhat recently.
Dissident tribesmen, south of the
capital at Sana, managed temporarily
to cut the Sana-Taiz road and are
still harassing traffic in this pre-
viously quiet sector.
b. This is despite the presence
in the country of the largest number
yet (35,000) of Egyptian troops.
c. The Egyptian-Yemeni govern-
ment position has been weakened some-
what by desertions of dissatisfied
tribal elements.

5. Tanganyika
a. President Nyerere has been
putting heavy pressure on Tanganyika's
security police, such as they are, to
uncover a major plot which he believes
exists to overthrow the government,
b.
these troops seem to be making indis?
criminate arrests
police, government workers,
and trade unionists.

Talks
? c. the OAU emergency
meeting in Dar-es-Salaam has endorsed
Nyerere's plan toreplace British
troops in Tanganyika with an all Afri-
can force totalling three battalions
and an air unit. They will probably
be largely Algerian, Nigerian, and
Ethiopian troops.
d. No details are available
on how soon this scheme will go
into operation.
a. Tunku Rahman's talks in
Phnom Penh with Macapagal ended
Wednesday with statements by
both that the "air had been cleared
of misunderstanding."
b. In fact, the talks were
amicable, but the Tunku had no suc-
cess in moving Macapagal in his
direction.
c. It is not even clear whether
Malaysia and the Philippines will
proceed now to set up consular rela-
tions or merely begin now to consider
doing so. Probably the latter.

d. There is talk that the
three-way ministerial meetings
will resume under Thai aegis next
week, but the Tunku has indicated
that Malaysian elections are com-
ing up in April or May--a hint that
if anyone is looking for concessions,
they should not expect them before
that time, if ever.
e. The meeting may be put off,
despite Indonesian eagerness to keep
the ball rolling.

NOTES
B. South Vietnam Dissatisfaction persists with South
Vietnam's military and security forces. Morale is
declining
The feeling is that all the promo-
tions and prestigeous positions accrue to those
associtated with the coup. Many in the military
see Khanh's coup as nothing more than a continuing
power struggle among generals.
D. Panama A "civic demonstration of solidarity" is
scheduled for eleven o'clock this morning in Panama
City. It will involve a 15-minute work stoppage,
halting of all traffid,and playing of the Panamanian
national anthem.
