North Vietnam 2. South Vietnam 3. Communist China 4. Soviet Union Local elections went off smoothly yesterday for the second successive Sunday. Voter turnout was again high, probably even better than the 80.5 per- cent recorded last week. Viet Cong harassment was minimal on election day, though there had been a few incidents in the days just before. The strident campaign against Liu Shao-chi has entered its second week. Hundreds of thousands of Chinese surged through Peking streets again yesterday chanting demands for his ouster.

Greece 7. Cyprus, . Syria-Israel 9. India Constitutional government will be under severe strain in the coming dif- ficult weeks. It may not survive. Premier Kanellopoulos is not likely to win a vote of confidence on Wednesday. His next move will probably be to dis- solve parliament and call for national elections./ The firefight on Saturday between Greek and Turkish Cypriots was the worst in several months. The border is quiet in the wake of Friday's major outbreaks. Syria lost six of its 26 MIG-21s. The India aid consortium has agreed on a $1,280 million target for this year-- a figure that includes supplementary food assistance to match the US pledge. This is an encouraging start. Now begins the tough job of extracting specific pledges.
