the Communists are stepping up the move-
ment of supplies in the Laos panhandle.
It seems likely that they are trying to
replenish their stockpiles in the Laos -
South Vietnam border area before the
rainy season sets in again.
The effort which the Communists
have devoted to expanding the supply
routes in the Laotian panhandle is indi-
cated by the fact that there are now
more than 650 miles of road in this
area; this compares :with 250 miles in
mid-1965.
The most recent satellite photog-
raphy shows that one of these installa-
tions is now externally complete and
that construction of eight associated
launchers has resumed after a lapse of
about a year. This facility and its
launchers could be operational by the
end of this year.

4. Canada
5. Colombia
6. Rhodesia
The latest satellite photography
has also shown up a new Soviet delta-
wing aircraft about the size of the US
F-106 interceptor.
- Prime Minister Pearson's victory
last night was a very close one and made
possible only by the support of the So-
cial Credit parties./
Unofficial returns from Sunday's
election are almost complete and it is
clear that President-elect Carlos Lleras
Restrepo will have a stronger popular
mandate than outgoing President Valencia,
More of the eligible voters cast their
ballots this time than four years ago
and Lleras' total was substantially
higher than Valencia had received.
Rhodesian security forces claim the
guerrilla group they clashed with last
weekend had been trained and armed by
the Chinese./
The guerrilla band, which had ap-
parently entered from Zambia, was over-
whelmed and only a few members escaped.
