*United Nations - Vietnam: .Secretary General
Thant is apparently still trying to find some way to
play an important role in working. out a settlement
of the Vietnam conflict ]
25X'
the Secretary General considers the Unite-d-_
Nations to be the most appropriate vehicle for solv-
ing the Vietnam problem, with himself--an Asian- -
as the chief mediator. Although he doubts the Soviet
Union would .accept the involvement of the UN itself,
Thant is described as being prepared to stake his
own position on an effort to secure a settlement. He
claims that so far he has been under no pressure from
either Moscow or Paris in connection with Vietnam. I
Thant says he is ready to go to North Vietnam
for ciscussions if Hanoi indicated that he would be
welcomed. He says he is prepared to do so without
obtaining Moscow's prior approval, and would not
be deterred by Chinese Communist opposition
Thant also has ideas of maintaining contact with
the Viet Cong. He presently considers Algerian
Premier Ben Bella to be the best channel, although
this would require passing through the Chinese Com-
munists.J
Thant intends to send Chakravarthi V. Narashim-
han, his chief administrative assistant, to'Phnom
Penh early next month for the purpose of sounding
out Prince Sihanouk about contacting the Viet Cong
and opening up a direct channel between Thant and
the Communists.]

USSR-France: Moscow apparently views Soviet
Foreign Minister Gromykols trip to Paris next week
as opening the way for a series of talks with the
French on important European questions.
Newly arrived Soviet Ambassador Zorin was al-
most ingratiating to the French in presenting his
credentials, and spoke of the "particular responsi-
bility" which France and the USSR share for Euro-
pean security.
During the past week Soviet press attacks on al-
leged Allied complicity in the recent Bundestag meet-
ing in West Berlin have carefully avoided specific
mention of France.
[on 2 April Gromyko proposed thaR11he Paris talks
focus on European security, the German problem,
and disarmament, In its attempt to erode further
the four-power responsibility for German reunifica-
tion, the USSR in recent months has shown a greater
interest in taking advantage of De Gaulle's proposals
for placing a German settlement in the broader frame-
work of European security.

Congo: The rebellion continues to deteriorate.
In the northeast the mercenaries evidently have
accomplished their most important task, sealing the
Sudanese and Ugandan frontiers. Mercenary patrols
are meeting some opposition, but not enough to im-
pede seriously their operations. With outside supply
no longer available, it seems unlikely that the rebels
at present can organize an effective counteroffensive
or cause more than local disturbances.
Despite frequent alarms, the Fizi area on Lake
Tanganyika is fairly quiet. Uvira, on the Burundi
border, has not been attacked in over a week. The
last reported action north of Albertville occurred on
14 April.
Foreign countries sympathetic to the insurgents
seem increasingly aware of the schisms and weak-
nesses in the rebel ranks. Uganda and the Sudan ap-
parently have stopped assisting the rebels. Ghana
is sending a mission to consult with the Chinese Com-
munists about the rebellion, however.

NOTES
Berlin: Es- oviet forces in Germany are apparently
preparing to stage a large parade with their German
allies in East Berlin in connection with VE-Day celebra-
tions next month. Equipment concentrated at Schoen-
walde Airport since mid-April includes 18 Scud surface-
to-surf ace missiles, 20 FROG rockets, and 21 SA-2 25X1
(surface-to-air) missile transporters. This would be
he first time that the Soviet Army h displayed its
tactical missiles outside the USSR.
Iraq: Evidence is accumulating that pro- Egyptians
within the aqi regime may soon be forced out of office.
Premier Tahir Yahya, a leader of the anti-Nasirist
faction, apparently feels his position has strengthened
recently
The Nasirists suffered a major political
defeat ear y this month when the government decided
to resume the war against the Kurds in northern Iraq,
and several ha renortedly already tendered their
esi nations.
11
- tan: Iiitd:r mi en iri g continues in
the Kutch border area where Indian and Pakistani forces
have twice clashed in the past two weeks. Both govern-
ments are mainly engaged in a war of words and nerves
involving both the clarification of terms under which a
cease-fire will come into effect and correspondence
with the UN to keep the record straight. fAt the same
time each side is strengthening its reserve forces in
the area. Pakistan is re orted to be deploying armored
elements from Lahore.

*Sudan: Violence broke out yesterday as parlia-
mentary elections began in five of Sudan's six northern
provinces. [Thus far, at least 40 people are reported
to have been killed and another 200 injured The
leftist People's Democratic Party, the only major
group still opposing elections at this time, has called
demonstrations and provoked clashes with guards at
polling stations in several cities. Police and mili-
tary units will probably be able to maintain order,
but continued demonstrations could prompt leftists
in the cabinet to push for a further delay of elections
in the Khartoum area, already postponed until 28
April.
