HIM, Congo The Katanga parliament. in "authorizing"
Tshombe to resume talks with _Adoula.aimed at. reintegrat-
ing Katanga with the Congo, has underscored the. Katangan
view that the Kitona accords of last December are not bind-
Congo were demands that. the central government renounce
Congolese affairs, and.that Katanga be allocated at least
as many cabinet portfolios as those held by "Lumumbistso'
The.Katangan resolution appears. designed to spell out
Tshombe's. current bargaining position, while displaying
25X1
j sufficient reasonableness to deter. the UN command from
a military offensive in southern Katanga.
ension remains high among Europeans and Africans
in s uthern Katanga, who still fear that the. UN plans to move
ville. The. commander of UN troops in Katanga is currently !
21 11 would appear to be a prerequisite to any major uiN minLary

by exploiting local issues.
India: Indian voters begin casting their ballots on
16 February in an election which has aroused.little popu-
lar enthusiasm. Despite vigorous campaigning by Nehru
and opposition leaders, the commanding advantage enjoyed
by the Congress party has left the electorate of some 210
million generally apathetic except in a few highly publicized
contests. First results will be announced after polling is
completed on 25 February. Congress candidates are likely
to retain a substantial majority of the, 494 elected seats in
the lower. house of Parliament,. although they probably will
hold fewer than their present total of 366. Congress control
in most states will be maintained by decisive margins, but
the party's majorities in several state legislatures are likely
to be reduced. Conservative elements and independents, in-
cluding many dissident Congress candidates., will benefit most
by these losses. However, Communist candidates, despite
weakening popular support, probably will manage to maintain
roughly their present position nationally- -they won 9 percent
of the popular vote in 1957--and possibly to improve their po-
sition in West Bengal and certain other areas of party strength

Cyyprus: Fazil Kuchuk, Cypriot vice president and leader
of the Turkish .Cypriots, is reported disturbed over recent state-
ments by Greek Cypriot cabinet ministers intimating that union
with Greece remains their final objective. Ambassador Wil-
kins comments that the two communities are at greater odds
today then at any time during the past year. The guarantor
powers, Greece, Turkey, and Britain, continue to urge re-
straint, but tempers have flared in recent weeks. Turkish
Cypriots are accusing Makarios and his advisers of refusing
to implement the provisions of the Cyprus settlement, while
Greek Cypriots are denouncing Turkish C riot leaders for
obstructionism and political blackmail. 25X1

specteEmpress following a long. illness will. result in a 60-
day period of mourning during which political activity in
Ethiopia will be sharply curtailed, If Emperor Haile Selas-
sie experiences an emotional shock comparable to that of
several years ago upon the death: of his favorite son, Ethiopia's
internal administration may be tied up for several. months,
since all facets. of the administration depend on his direct de-
cisions. The Empress was widely regarded as the peoples'
intercessor in the Palace as well as Haile Selassie's respected
adviser on internal political matters. Her. death may lead .to
a gradual decline of popular support for Haile Selassie's regime.
The Empress' death is a heavy blow to the crown prince's aspi-
ration to succeed to the throne--she was considered his most
powerful supporter--and the septuagenarian Emperor may soon
publicly back a fourteen-year-old grandson, who became the
-Duke of Harar upon the death of his father, the Emperor's favor-
ite. Such action against the., crown prince, who for several years
has been implicated in plotting against the Emperor, would an-

has asked the US Embassy
in Cairo to pass word to the French Government that President
Nasir desires. to establish close relations with France as soon as
the...Algerian.problem is settled. Cairo
will. be ready. to talk to the French about the French prisoners, now
on trial in Cairo after an Algerian settlement is announced. Nasir
would not be making much of a sacrifice on the issue of the French
prisoners, since the Egyptian prosecution has not been able to pre-
sent a convincing. case that they were involved in significant espi-
onage activities.
Both De Gaulle and Foreign Minister Couve de Murville have
repeatedly. indicated that they wanted to improve France's relations
