Somali Republic: The Somali Government has ap-

the Soviet Union for training. The Somali prime min- 0

no longer wait for favorable responses from Italy and j
Britain to his requests for training. j
According to other sources, jet fighters, j

Ango : Portugal's military and political prob-
lems in Angola appear to be increasing. All reports
coming to the US Consulate General in Luanda indicate
that the military situation is stagnating and possibly
worsening. The rebels are using road mines, making
Portuguese tactics ineffective and reportedly causing
adrop in field morale. In the absence of authoritative
information for the public on army activities in the
fighting zone, alarmist rumors are spreading in Luanda.
There is considerable tension in the capital, and any
isolated incident could precipitate violence between
whites and Africans there.
The basic policy differences between officials in
Lisbon and Luanda remain unresolved. The governor
of Angola, General Deslandes, has emerged from his
recent dispute with Lisbon with increased popularity
as an advocate of reformq-F--
West German : J.Xhe visit of General Yakubovsky,
commander in chief of Soviet forces in East Germany,
to USAREUR headquarters in Heidelberg has created
suspicion of US intentions, according to the US Embassy
in Bonn. The embassy cites press comment that the
visit had the purpose of forewarning US authorities of
new Soviet moves affecting Berlin and of softening them
up for such moves. The consensus of most newspapers
was that the visit signaled a Soviet intention to estab-
lish a direct link at the commander -in- chief level as
a first step toward eliminating the Berlin commandants
and changing other aspects of the four-power status of
the city. It was also alleged that US authorities see
merit in such moves

Netherlands, _)butch Foreign Minister Luns told
Ambassador Rice 9 August that there had been
"great consternation" in the Dutch cabinet when it
learned that in a memorandum to Indonesian Foreign
Minister Subandrio on 31 July, Secretary General
Thant had promised to raise the Indonesian flag on
1 January alongside that of the United Nations in
West New Guinea. Luns also complained of further
Indonesian parachute drops in the territory and in-
dicated that the Dutch were in a position to protect
th
emselves from such incursions
a
ice believes that Luns and his allies in the cab
inet would regard the flag-raising action as the final
humiliation and might choose to dissociate themselves
from any agreement. Nevertheless, the embassy is
inclined to believe there will not be a serious cabinet
crisis and suggests that the Dutch would find it more
palatable if all tree flags flew over the territory be- 25X1

British Guiana: remier Jagan has been seeking
foreign assistance in creating a national army and is
trying to obtain arms from private sources, according
to a British Colonial Office official in London. Jagan
evidently intends to recruit the army from the colony's
East Indian population in order to offset the strength
of the largely Negro police forc`~
Jagan has obtained an offer of technical assistance
as the resul
t of a visit to British Guiana by an Israeli
diplomat in June, and two Israeli officers have been
named to advise on army organization. Their request
for visas, however, has been held up by London which
opposes Jagan's plans for an 45

Argentina: (Information as of 0430 EDT) The
military crisis continues to threaten President
Guido's government. General Eduardo Senorans,
whom Guido appointed Secretary of War yesterday,
resigned early this morning. Guido broadcast an or-
der to dissident troops moving on Buenos Aires to
remain where they were, and invited their leader,
General Federico Toranzo Montero, to appear at the
presidential residence. Toranzo Montero reportedly
has accepted the invitation. Loyal and dissident for-
ces have been moving tanks and other armored vehi-
cles into Buenos Aires but, according to press re-
25X1
ports, there has been little actual fighting.

Sino-Indian Border Dispute
ndia's policy along the border this year has called
for The establishment of new outposts, stepped-up pa-
trolling, probes of Chinese- claimed areas, and oc-
casional isolation of an advance Chinese post. While
the Indian show of force has been stronger than ever
before, the units involved have been small and lightly
armed because of difficulties of terrain and_s.pply,

he Indians, in particular Krishna Menon
have
,
probably persuaded. themselves that they have suc-
cessfully asserted Indian sovereignty in this area at
little cost, whereas further moves under their present
policy might prove costly. This conclusion could well
have been reinforced in 1 xenon's mind by the ease with
which the Chinese deployed several hundred soldiers
around an isolated Indian post last month and by the
stiff Chinese attitude in subsequent conversations in
Geneva. For Menon, who has been credited publicly
for India's stiffer line, defeat at the hands of the Chi-
nese constitutes an obvious political dang
1The Chinese will probably welcome the kind of
de facto truce outlined by Nehru. They have long
sought to bring the Indians into negotiations on the
basis of the status quo in Ladakh and recently "ap-
proved" an Indian call for renewed border discussions,
provided no strings were attached. The onset of win-
ter might well force each side to withdraw its troops
from forward positions. The Chinese have twice re-
jected Indian proposals that both sides withdraw from
positions now held, and they would probably do so
again. Thus, any disagreement before winter would
likely be a result of a unilateral Indian withdrawa
