UN forces at the airport, however, were under pressure from Katangan troops on 8 December, as were UN forces along the road from Elisabethville to the airport. Fighting within the city was sporadic; many Western diplo- mats believe that if the UN continues its present tactics of "destroying" houses suspected of containing belligerents, there will be large-scale civilian casualties. UN troop to- tals in Elisabethville reached 4,500 on 8 December. UN representative Urquhart stated on 7 December that the UN Command hoped to disarm Katangan forces in Elis- abethville within two days. He indicated that after securing Elisabethville the UN would turn its attention to Jadotville and Kolwezi. Such a timetable appears overoptimistic. The UN Command has warned the Union Miniere mining combine that unless it denies its communications facilities to Tshombe's forces, such installations will be attacked as military targets. A Union Miniere official has contended that such facilities are not at the disposal of Katangan forces, but that on occasion they have been commandeered at gunpoint. Western consuls plan to remind UN officials that attacks on Union Miniere installations could disrupt railroads, telecom- munications, and water power over a large part of Katanga. The UN Command in Elisabethville reportedly has begun to broadcast over the same frequency as Radio Elisabethville in an effort to counter Katangan propaganda. UN representative Linner in Leopoldville has ordered. that Radio Elisabethville be 25X1 Approved For Release 2003/03/10 : CIA-RDP79T00975AO06100140001-8 Approved For R se 2003/03/10 :CIA-RDP79T00975 0100140001-8 j 25X1 put off the air, on the grounds that it is inciting the local population.

Sukarno commented that force is the only language the Dutch understand. He said that unless administration of New Guinea is transferred to Indonesia either directly or under UN auspices, his only alternative will be military action. Ambassador Jones feels that Sukarno was not exaggerating his intentions and that he be decisive in Indonesian planning. Berlinobricht, in a television interview taped on 6 December for showing in the United States on 4 January, said that conditions for entry into East Berlin would "soon" be "normalized" to require passports with visas at the sector border, which he characterized as "the GDR's state frontier." This would be designed to confront West Berliners and the NATO countries, including West Germany, with the, choice of not entering East Berlin, or obtaining East German visas-- tantamount to de facto recognition of the GDR. Ulhricht was deliberately evasive, however, on the sub- jec of Allied military entry to East Berlin. He said this ques- tion would not arise since there would be "no place" for Allied 9 Dec 61 DAILY BRIEF ii I 0 I Approved For Release 2003/03/10 : CIA-RDP79T00975A006100140001-8 . .........................

Senate-approved amendments, not yet passed by the lower chamber, create major obstacles for resettlement and drought relief phases of the plan and will have the effect of reopening the door for graft. Demon- strations on 6 December resulted in injuries to 10 people.

The riots arose out of African demonstrations against a new constitution. for the colony of Southern Rhodesia. The new constitution admits Africans to the legislature for the first time, limiting them to 15 of the 65 seats. Africans charge its real purpose is to perpetuate the hegemony of the colony's white minority of 225,000. The demonstrations were called by the National Democratic party (NDP), which, after a period of indecision earlier this year, seems to have decided that pres- sure in the form of civil disobedience is the only way to effect further change. The government of Prime Minister Whitehead has repeatedly stated its intention to keep the security situation few months. 25X1 9 Dee 61 DAILY BRIEF M Approved For Release 2003/03/10 : CIA-RDP79TOO975AO06100140001-8 25X1 Approved For Release 2003/03/10 : CIA-RDP79T00975AO06100140001-8 Next 4 Page(s) In Document Exempt Approved For Release 2003/03/10 : CIA-RDP79T00975AO06100140001-8 Approved Forpelease 2003/03/10 : CIA-RDP79T009T5AJ6100140001-8 THE PRESIDENT The Vice President Executive Offices of the White House Special Counsel to the President Military Representative of the President The Special Assistant for National Security Affairs The Scientific Adviser to the President The Director of the Budget The Director, Office of Civil and Defense Mobilization The Director, National Aeronautics and Space Administration The Department of State The Secretary of State The Under Secretary of State The Under Secretary of State for Economic Affairs The Deputy Under Secretary of State for Political Affairs The Counselor and Chairman of the Policy Planning Council The Director of Intelligence and Research The Treasury Department The Secretary of the Treasury The Under Secretary of the Treasury The Department of Defense The Secretary of Defense The Deputy Secretary of Defense The Secretary of the Army The Secretary of the Navy The Secretary of the Air Force The Assistant Secretary of Defense (International Security Affairs) The Assistant Secretary of Defense The Chairman, The Joint Chiefs of Staff Chief of Naval Operations, United States Navy Chief of Staff, United States Air Force Chief of Staff, United States Army Commandant, United States Marine Corps U.S. Rep., Military Committee and Standing Group, NATO Supreme Allied Commander, Europe Commander in Chief, Pacific The Director, Defense Intelligence Agency The Director, The Joint Staff The Director for Intelligence, The Joint Staff The Assistant Chief of Staff for Intelligence, Department of Army The Director of Naval Intelligence, Department of Navy The Assistant Chief of Staff, Intelligence, Department of the Air Force The Department of Justice The Attorney General The Federal Bureau of Investigation The Director The Atomic Energy Commission The Chairman The National Security Agency The Director The United States Information Agency The Director The National Indications Center The Director Approved For Release 2003/03/10 : CIA-RDP79T00975A006100140001-8 Approved r elease-F /1(5eCKFEjr00 A006100140001-8 TOP SECRET Approve For Release 2003/03/10 : - -
