the Viet Cong plan t&Tncrease their efforts to isolate
rice for Saigon itself to a dangerously low level
Saigon with the aim of disrupting the national economy.
The plans reportedly include a tight encirclement of
the capital by means of "lightning attacks" against civil
guard and military posts in the suburbs. In addition
to the psychological effects of such action, the Viet
Cong apparently hope to choke off the flow of goods and
products to and from Saigon, which serves as the dis-
tribution center both for internal needs and for export.
Viet Cong insurgency forced suspension of rice exports
during the past year and last fall reduced the few of

South Vietnam - Cambodia: (Ngo Dinh Nhu, in-
fluential brother of President Diem, remains opposed
to any rapprochement with Cambodia and believes
South Vietnam should take covert action to overthrow
Prince Sihanouk,
Nhu reportedly
stated in mid-May that he intended to send small po-
litical action/guerrilla teams into Cambodia, having
as one of their objectives the assassination of Sihanouk.
This plan has apparently been shelved, however. II
p
[in addition to their personal animus against Siha-
nouk, South Vietnamese leaders accuse him of tolerat-
ing use of Cambodian territory by the Viet Cong. Nhu
may feel that some drastic action is warranted because
of Sihanouk's interest in an international conference on
South Vietnam and his broader proposals for a neutral-

Belgium-Congo: French Foreign Minister Couve
de Murville told Assi ant Secretary of State Williams
on 10 July that the Congo situation could be resolved
without resort to force merely by compelling the
Union Miniere to stop payments to Katanga. He said
that this remedy had never been tried because, as "is
well known, the Societe Generale--the Union Miniere's
holding company--is in control of the Belgian Govern-
ment;' and British financial interests back the position
of the Societe General
25X1
ources within the Societe Generale have informed
collaps
the J Embassy in Brussels that the company's board
of directors is somewhat shaken by Foreign Minister
Spaak's threats that the Belgian Government will back
UN plans to use force if necessary to bring Tshombe
to terms. The board reportedly believes, however,
that the UN's financial problems and its fear of a pub-
lic outcry against military action will prevent a re-
course to force. The sources point out that Spaak has
virtually no other means of bringing pressure on the
board, which is convinced that the Leopoldville gov- 25X1
ernme is headed for bankruptcy and is likely soon to

Syria-Jordan-Israel:1)8yria has decided to make
a formal complaint to fh-e-DN Security Council over
??repeated Israeli provocations and violations" of the
demilitarized zone along the Israeli-Syrian border.
Israeli plowing and road-building activities in areas
where the ownership of fields and the locations of the
armistice demarcation line are disputed have resulted
in exchanges of fire in recent weeks, most recently
on 9 and 10 July. In taking the dispute to the UN, the
Syrians hope to frustrate what they believe is an Is-
raeli "plot" to attract support by creating an impres-
sion in UN circles that Israel is in dang`e-L"q.
he Security Council may also soon receive a com-
OEM
plain-T-from Jordan against Israel's alleged extension
of potash drying pans onto Jordanian territory south of
the Dead Sea. Recent Israeli -Jordanian tension in Je-
rusalem, on the other hand, appears to be diminish-
ing. Jordan has decided to replace its battaliokwhich
was involved in the recent incidents in jerusalend

India-USSR: iAMbscow's reported agreement to
permit New Delhi t'b produce Soviet jet engines will
breathe new life into the Indian program for produc-
ing supersonic fighters. The agreement presumably
resolves the impasse which arose when basic incom-
patibilities were discovered earlier this year between
the Russian engines and the Indian airframe. Reports
a month ago suggested that after failing to persuade
the Indians to modify the airframe, Moscow undertook
to consider modifications of the engine?
he reported agreement would provide India with
25X1
a face-saving device to shelve the proposed purchase
of MIG-21s. New Delhi may seek to balance out the
agreement on Soviet jet engines by purchasing a small
number of Western fighters as a stopgap until Indian
fighters with Russian engines can be produced in quan-
tity.

Afghanistan-Pakistan: he Shah's recent offer
of good offices seems to hare moved Afghanistan and
Pakistan to adopt new positions which indicate that
both want a settlement and which would offer a basis
for negotiations. The Afghans say that they are ready
to stop their anti-Pakistani propaganda, according to
the Iranian foreign minister, and to defer discussion
of the basic dispute over Pushtoonist

Pakistan's President Ayub, for his part, is said
to be willing to let the Afghans open their consulates
"a month or two" after re-establishing diplomatic re-
lations, and then to consider reopening trade offices.
The Afghans, however, want to reopen both their con-
sulates and trade offices after only about a wee.

Zahir Shah and intends to go to Kabul before the Kin

*Britain: I /rhe cabinet reshuffle announced by
Prime Minist Macmillan yesterday--like the re-
shuffle last October--primarily reflects the Con-
servative Party's concern over its continuing re-
verses in electoral and public opinion polls. The
downward trend was evident again in yesterday's by-
election where, in a safe Labor district, the Tory
candidate dropped from second to third place behind
the resurgent Liberals. The reshuffle either retains
or brings into more influential positions the compara-
tively youthful men who have generally been consid-
ered to be rising in the party. Another result of the
reshuffle is to place R. A. Butler in a generally
strengthened political position. Chancellor of the
Exchequer Selwyn Lloyd, who was the major fatality
in the reshuffle, has been a liability because of the
unpopularity and comparative ineffectiveness of his
wage-restraint policie~.
Mere are as yet no clear implications for the
Britain - Common Market negotiations now at the criti-
cal stage in Brussels. R. A. Butler--at one time
cool toward the EEC but since more sympathetic--
will retain in his newly created post as first secre-
tary of state his previous responsibilities as chair-
man of the cabinet committee on the EEC negotiations.
The chief EEC negotiator, Lord Heath, is apparently
unaffected by the cabinet shifts. The new Chancellor
of Exchequer Maudling was a leading figure in Britain's
abortive effort in 1958 to establish free trade area
ties with the EEC, and new Defense Minister Thorney-
croft authored and successfully negotiated this year
the project for joint European development of a space .--~~..~
