Tanganyika a. Our picture of the situation continues confused with apparently conflicting and contradictory reports from the press, the US Embassy b. Late press reports talk about a resumption of disorders in Dar-es- Salaam; at the same time, President Nyerere is now said to be safe and in good health in the capital. c. Whatever Nyerere's position, it appears that the hand of foreign and defense minister Kambona, a radi- cal nationalist, has been strengthened. d. All US personnel in Dar-es- Salaam were reported by our embassy earlier this morning to be safe and remaining indoors. e. There are some 1,400 US personnel in Tanganyika and about 10,000 British. f. British forces in Kenya, numbering some 5,000 regulars are on the alert, but London is most reluctant to get involved unless necessary to proteptt its nationals.

Afro-Asian Conference a. The Indonesians are making good headway in their effort to pro- mote a "second Bandung" summit con- ference of Afro-Asians. b. They probably will be able to pull it off before Yugoslavia and the UAR can get their rival con- ference of neutralists organized. d. Even though they are afraid the Afro-Asian meeting will pre-empt the more attractive anticolonial themes, the Yugoslays are going ahead an wa 4. Khrushchev's a. A short speech by Khrushchev Speech at Kaliningrad last Friday did not introduce any new themes, but it did give us some new Khrushchevisms: (Cont'd) 50X1 50X1 50X1 50X1 50X1 For The President Only - Top Secret Declassified in Part - Sanitized Copy Approved for Release 2015/07/24 : CIA-RDP79T00936A002200240001-6 = f=3 = I -A I IT 1 F=1 Declassified in Part - Sanitized Copy Approved for Release 2015/07/24 : CIA-RDP79T00936A002200240001-6 5. Panama b. "It is true that there are comrades abroad who say that Khru- shchev is not managing things the right way, that he is afraid of war. I have already said more than once that I would like to see the fool who is not really afraid of war...." c. "At the same time one can- not simply, plead with his enemies.... We are not striving to prevent war by means of incantations. The Soviet Union possesses first class armaments," d. "Our scientists have tested a new rocket, and I could not restrain myself and wrote 'excellent'." e. "All the same, you cannot put a rocket into soup."

South Vietnam A cholera epidemic is in full swing in South Vietnam. Press reports yesterday put the death toll so far ?in Saigon at 67. B. Brazil-Paraguay Goulart met with Paraguay's Presi- dent Stroessner Sunday, and, according to press re- ports got his agreement for Brazil to go ahead with the mammoth Sete Quedas hydroelectric project. C. Berlin Passes At their meeting last Friday with the Vest Berlin representatives, the East Germans imposed a completely unacceptable set of conditions for new pass arrangements. Although the Communists may give in on some of these and have agreed to continue talks, there is no prospect for early agreement. D. Maphilindo Talks Sihanouk leaves Kuala Lumpur today or tomorrow to go tell Macapagal what he already knows, i.e., that the Tunku has agreed to meet Macapagal, probably in early February in Phnom Penh. Philippine officials believe Sihanouk, delighted with his role as mediator, will then go to Djakarta. The Filipinos also say Macapagal, following his meeting with the Tunku, will go to Djakarta in pur- suit of a three way Maphilindo conference. 50X1 50X1 For The President Only - Top Secret Declassified in Part - Sanitized Copy Approved for Release 2015/07/24 : CIA-RDP79T00936A002200240001-6
