1. Cyprus
c. There have been rumors in
Nicosia of a possible "declaration"
of union with 'Greece to be made
jointly by Makarios and Grivas.
These rumors seem to us improbable.

2. Congo
g. The inhabitants of one
Turkish village who fled last March
have returned to their homes. This
is the first such case of any signif-
icance since the shooting started

a. Tshombe was formally ap-
pointed premier last night.
b.
cronies
intends
His cabinet consists of
and nonentities. He plainly
to run things pretty much
by himself.
c. His cabinet appointments
will arouse protests. Some of the
boys have been sore all week at
being left out, and the backers of
some who were chosen want more
jobs.
d. In a conversation with Ambas-
sador Godley last Tuesday, Tshombe
said he wants to let by-gones be
by-gones and is looking forward to
the closest collaboration with the
US. He expressed great apprecia-
tion for US generosity in extending
military assistance, and was im-
pressed by the amount of US economic
aid over the past four years.

4. Argentina
5. Israel-Syria
a. The Peronist-dominated
central committee of the General
Confederation of Workers has voted
to continue the agitation campaign
it began some months ago.
b. This decision was opposed
by most of the independent affili-
ates of the CGT, almost all of which
did not attend the meeting.
c. An open split in the CGT
seems to be in the making.
e. The government has started
its own propaganda campaign to
rebut the widespread criticism of
its inaction on various needed re-
forms and its failure to do anything
about the rising cost of living.
a. As a result of the recent
border clashes, military traffic
has increased markedly in both coun-
tries.

6. North Vietnam -
USSR
b. This activity seems to be
precautionary at the moment. So
far, there is no evidence of an
offensive buildup in the Hula-
Galilee area, scene of the recent
incidents.
c. However, given the present
tense situation, such a buildup
would be likely to follow rapidly
from another border fracas or other
disturbances.

NOTES
A. Laos The embassy's soundings among the prin-
cipal leaders have produced assurances that
no coup is in immediate prospect. A number
of these contacts pointed out, however, that
the actions of lower ?ranking hotheads are
always unpredictable. Despite these fairly
relaxed views of the leadership, rumors about
coup plotting are still going the rounds.
These rumors have probably been noted by the
Pathet Lao/
