South Vietnam 2. Communist China 3. China 50X1 Presidential runner-up Dzu may get himself arrested if he continues to harass the government. ?The Saigon police chief, miffed by Dzu's un- authorized (and hence illegal) press ?conference on Thursday, has said that, unless instructed otherwise by higher authority, he will arrest Dzu if he attempts any other illegal moves. 50X1 50X1 50X1 Declassified in Part - Sanitized Copy Approved for Release 2015/07/24 : CIA-RDP79T00936A005400210001-4 50X1 Declassified in Part - Sanitized Copy Approved for Release 2015/07/24 : CIA-RDP79T00936A005400210001-4 4. Japan 5. Middle East 6. Chile Public opinion is getting farther ?and farther out in front of Prime Minister Sato on the Okinawa issue. Fanned by the opposition parties and the press, the pressures for a quick reversion of the islands to Japan are becoming so strong that Sato may have trouble holding the line.

Cyprus As the Greek and Turkish leaders prepare to meet this weekend, there are signs that Athens may be trying hard for settlement of the Cyprus prob- lem. This might well involve important concessions to the Turks thoroughly unacceptable to Archbishop Makarios. Present leaders in Greece, however, are not above trying to impose a settle- ment on Cyprus by military force, if necessary. This, of course, could easily lead to considerable turmoil on the island.
