India-China a. In the latest flare-up of fighting, now in its fifth day, Chinese forces have plowed steadily forward at several points along the bordero b. As best we can make out, they have just about restored the situation to what it was before the Indians started their cautious campaign to oust the Chinese from territory New Delhi regards·as its own. c. we suspect Peiping's satisfaction over having done so was behind its call last night for ceasefire negotiations and a Chou-Nehru meeting to bury the hatchet. New Delhi has rejected such proposals before and probably will feel that any acceptance now would be submission to Chinese aggression. It may 1 however, come up with some counterproposals. 1 50X1 50X1 Declassified in Part- Sanitized Copy Approved for Releas~ 2015/0(/23 : CIA-RDP79T00936A0011 00200001-2 ~ r 1 ~ !~--~ L- 21 ~ ~ r 1 ~ f- 1 ·~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ Declassified in Part - Sanitized Copy Approved for Release 2015/07/23 : CIA-RDP79T00936A0011 00200001-2 , 50X1 3. Laos a. Souvanna, who was set to take off for Hanoi on Sunday, at last report had delayed his departure until yesterday. bo It looks as though the holdup was due to his wanting to have more facts in hand about the continued presence of North Vietnamese troops in Laos. Souvanna's commander at Nhommarath in the south has reported that the Viet Minh had withdrawn from the town, but that 400 of them , had integrated themselves with the Pathet Lao in the hinterland. He also claimed that in an area 70 miles to the north "they are doing nothing but bring more in.n Co The ICC yesterday, helped along by prodding from Foreign Minister Quinim, was scheduled to close its last outpost in the Plaine des Jarreso If Quinim and the Pathet Lao get their way, the Commission henceforth will find itself restricted pretty much to Vientiane's city limits.
