voy, in New Delhi on 8 December, Nehru impressed on Thacli
his strong conviction that President Kennedy wanted peace in
the area. Nehru has informed Ambassador Galbraith that he
told Thach this purpose would be best served if Hanoi stopped
encouraging the "guerrillas." Foreign Secretary Desai, in a
separate conversation with Thach, made the point that the US

Government had no alternative but to support the Saigon regime
with military aid as long as North Vietnam maintained its
pressure. In a related development, New Delhi has instructed
ICC Chairman Parthasarathi to defer a proposed report to
the Geneva cochairmen on introduction of US arms aid to Saigon
until a specific complaint was registered by Hanoi, in order to
avoid Soviet and British involvement at this time. Thach
earlier this month visited Indonesia and Burma in an attempt
to stimulate neutralist reaction against US aid to South Vietnam.
Syria: Dr. Nazim a - u si, a conservative, was over-

11 December speech heralding the resumption of power by the
civilians, army commander in chief Gen. Zahr al-Din admon-

army in politics and delivered a veiled threat that the army
would remain on the sidelines only so long as Syria's political

Okinawa: leftist victory in the election for mayor of the
capital city of aha on 17 December would strengthen Ryukyuan
elements which favor immediate reversion to Japan, stimulate
new Japanese overtures for increased participation in Ryukyuan
affairs, and promote agitation against US military bases. The
leftist coalition candidate, Eiko Miyazato, appears to have im-
proved prospects for winning the election. The leftist campaign
has been invigorated by the victory of a pro=Communist in a
neighboring mayoralty contest three weeks ago, by popular re=
sentment of the US following the crash of a fighter aircraft which
killed two Ryukyuans on 7 December, and by active support from
Socialist and Communist organizations in Japan. Mayor Saichi
Kaneshi, although lacking a political organization, until recently
had been regarded as likely to win re=election on the strength of
his four-year record as mayor

The Situation in the Congo
the UN buildup in Elisabethville continues to be accom-
panied by divergent views among UN officials concerning the
timing of a UN offensive and its ultimate objectives. A senior
UN official in New York has described the UN's objectives as
the restoration of security and freedom of movement for its
personnel in Elisabethville, together with the inauguration of
negotiations between Tshombe and Adoula. The US Consulate
in Elisabethville, however, reports that local UN officials
hope that no "political nonsense" will interfere with a "mili-
tary solution" in Katangaj
CUN military commander McKeown indicated to the US Em-
bassy in Leopoldville on 13 December that he was satisfied
with the situation in Elisabethville and that plans to secure the
city would be implemented on 14 December. In New York, a
senior military adviser to the secretary general told US offi-
cials on the same day that "all-out operations" should start
on 15 or 16 December, and stated that the UN has no plans be-
yond those intended to assure its control in Elisabethville.
The US Consulate in Elisabethville has characterized the
UN Command as "woefully lacking in a realistic assessment of
the enemy." According to the consulate, local UN officials re-
acted with "shock and disbelief" to an estimate by the consulate
that morale among Tshombe's forces continues high.

Okinawan Mayoral Election Vampaign
kA006100190001-3
IJ'ropaganda support, presumably accompanied by financial
assistance, from Japanese leftists has sharpened Okinawan inter-
est in the election and probably will result in a large turnout,
possibly in excess of 75 percent of the estimated 125,000 eligible
voters. The three-way contest which has developed, involving
conservative candidate Junji Nishime in addition to Kaneshi and
Miyazato, threatens to split the moderate vote.
)The Japanese Government continues to seek an expanding
role in Ryukyuan affairs and has drafted an economic and tech-
nical assistance program for the coming year amounting to
$2,900,000. This figure exceeds the program which the US high
commissioner. for the Ryukyus believes is feasible under ex-
isting political and economic conditions. Tokyo, on the other
hand, asserts that the expanded program is necessary to satisfy
Japanese public expectations--many of them officially inspired
and is warranted by informal US-Japanese pledges of support
for Ryukyuan welfare made during Prime Minister Ikeda's visit
to the US last summer.
LThe Naha mayoralty contest of 1956 became the focal point
for Okinawan grievances against US policies in the Ryukyus,
particularly the means of acquiring and paying for land used for
military purposes, and led to a large protest vote which elected
pro-Communist Kamejiro Senaga as mayor. Although Senaga
was ousted the following year through the combined actions of the
US civil administration and the Naha city assembly, the furor
attending the election and ouster aroused reversionist sentiment
in both Japan and the Ryukyus and prompted Tokyo's first moves
for a role in administering the islands. Senaga is exercising a
major influence in the present coalition and leftist campaign
