6 March 1964
Cyprus: New clashes in the north threaten to
end the relaxation of tensions accompanying the
4 March Security Council resolution.
One Greek Cypriot and two Turkish villages were
involved yesterday.
mr,969ZOW
Makarios ordered the Greek Cypriots to release
all Turkish hostages by noon 2
ILThant is having trouble getting together
the peacekeeping force. Several governments are
hesitating because of the requirement that they
provide funds as well as troops.
The Turks are displeased with the selection
of Indian General Gyani as commander and Guatemalan
Jose Rolz-Bennett as mediator. The resolution
requires that the mediator be approved by all parties
concerned.

harassment activity in the northern provinces. These
suggest that military operations may be stepped up
in that area during the coming weeks.
predicting
a large-scale co-ordinated attack in one of the
northern provinces--Quang Ngai--in the near future.
Viet Cong propaganda leaflets declare that the neigh-
boring Kontum Province will be liberated this year.
About one third of the Communist regulars are
in the north. They are the best organized, trained,
and equipped of the Viet Cong.
Meanwhile, General Khanh is going ahead with
his efforts to conciliate or control the various
religious and political groups.
He has appointed Le Van Tat, a general of the
Cao Dai sect forces, as chief of Tay Ninh Province
where about one third of the population is Cao Dai.
The appointment risks alienating civilians and
military officers who fear a resurgence of the Cao
Dai. The sect maintained a large autonomous army
until the Diem regime subdued it in 1955.

3.
Khanh is trying to stop coup plotting by
shuffling top army commanders. This is causing
some dissatisfaction.
USSR-China:
Moscow is ready to end its self-imposed mora-
torium on polemics and call an international party
conference to repudiate Peiping.
The Russians probably anticipate another,
Chinese rejection. This, they may reason, will
help overcome the reluctance of some important
foreign parties to hold
a meeting designed to condemn the Chinese.

France
voted to seat Peiping in the World Health Organiza-
tion, but the Chinese Nationalists won, 51-21.
6. Maphilindo talks: Efforts to breathe life into
the Bangkok talks apparently have failed.
After much urging by Thanat, the participants
returned to talk yesterday afternoon, but the obsta-
cle of the guerrillas still could not be hurdled.

Indonesia would agree only "in principle" on
"the need" to withdraw them and wanted to leave
their actual withdrawal and apolitical solution
to be worked out at a summit meeting.
This, the Malaysians could not buy, and, at
last report, Ambassador Martin had urged Subandrio
to put the Malaysian position to Sukarno for decision.
The Malaysians want an agreement on withdrawal
of Indonesian guerrillas
USSR-Indonesia: Soviet military assistance to
Indonesia continues./
consistent with the USSR's
long-term interests in cultivating Sukarno. We have
seen no indication that Moscow is encouraging Sukarno
to act more militantly against Malaysia.
The Soviets have confided to non-Communist dip-
lomats that they would not like to see a war over
Malaysia. The Indonesians, for their part, do not
seem to expect significant Soviet support in the
event of hostilities.

8. USSR-Hungary: Rumors continue that the USSR
will soon pull its troops out of Hungary.
The withdrawal would have no significant mili-
tary disadvantages and could be done at any time.
Khrushchev is expected to make a one-week visit to
Budapest at the end of this month.
9. Bolivia: Military pressure and dissension in
his own party have forced President Paz to accept
General Barrientos as his vice-presidential running
mate. Paz'. preferred partner., Federico Fortun,
has conveniently resigned.
followers of Vice
President Lechin are planning a general strike which
they think could cause serious trouble for Paz.
10. Egypt - Saudi Arabia - Yemen: Egyptian-Saudi
talks in Riyadh ended in the re-establishment of
diplomatic relations but made little progress in
settling differences over Yemen.
Nasir and Faysal will meet in Cairo later this
month, however, which is a hopeful sign.

11.
The USSR has not started any projects in Yemen
since finishing the al-Raudha airport near Sana last
fall. Since then the number of Soviet personnel in
Yemen has declined from 1,000 to around 400.
Gabon: The French troops have brought anti-
government elements under at least temporary control,
but public resentment toward President Mba is rising.
French-sponsored rumors that the US supported
the anti-Mba revolt may have boomeranged. Ambassador
Darlington reports he is now applauded as his car
passes through the streets of Libreville.
12. Ghana: Nkrumah seems to want at least a tempo-
rary accommodation with the US.
When Ambassador Mahoney talked to him the other
day, Nkrumah appeared friendly and solicitous and
even willing to eat a little crow. The ambassador
has no illusions that this indicated Nkrumah has
undergone any basic change, however.
13. Zanzibar: Foreign Minister Babu and his pro-
Communist henchmen continue to run the show.
Babu seems to be dominating the government by
default, as President Karume has failed to take charge.
Thus, Zanzibar's drift toward Communist control
shows no signs of being stopped.
