1. Brazilian developments
a) War Minister Denys appears to
be losing out in his efforts to
prevent Goulart from assuming the
presidency or to curtail Goulart's
powers in that office;
b) Most of Denys' military sup-
porters now believe that the
only possible solution short of
bloodshed is to make a direct
compromise with Goulart whereby
he would agree at least not to
include the Communist party "in 50X1
his government plans;"
c) Goulart, who reached Monte-
video last evening, appears to
be increasingly confident that he
has sufficient support in Brazil
and may not be willing to
make concessions to theAnilitary;
d) Troop movements have been cited
in the press but no actual clashes
as of early this 50X1
morning; and
e) A meeting of state governors is
planned for today in Brazilia to
try to find a solution to the crisis

2. Berlin
3. Soviet arms supply
to the Middle East
As a final step in transforming the
East-West zonal and Berlin sector
borders into international frontiers,
Ulbricht appears to be making prepara-
tions for promulgating a law--perhaps
today--requiring all foreigners, in-
cluding West Germans, to submit to
passport and customs controls. A 50X1
customs shed was hastily erected
shortly after the 13 August seal-
off at the Friedrichstrasse check-
point and road barriers have
been prepared for the 50X1
East-West German interzonal highway
crossings at Luebeck and Lauenburg.
Any such new move would probably not
apply to officials and members of the
three Western Powers traveling between
West Germany and West Berlin but may
be applied against their travel between
West and East Berlin, 50X1
UAR military personnel are being sent
to the USSR for training on air-to-
surface and short range surface-to-
surface guided missiles. The UAR
has already received Soviet air-to
air missiles and may have contracted
for a surface-to-air type.
they may press Moscow for additional
aircraft and possibly missiles.

5. Afghanistan threatens
to sever relations with
Pakistan
50X1
50X1
Kabul now plans to make the break
unless Pakistan reconsiders its
recent decision to close Afghan con-
sulates and trade offices in Pakistan
by 6 September, The Afghans apparently
regard the closure as tantamount to 50X1
a blockade despite Pakistani assurances
that transit facilities would be
maintained. If the Pakistani decision
is not rescinded and relations are?
broken, Afghan trade with non-bloc
countries will be at least temporarily
disrupted and some may be diverted
to the Soviet transit route. Kabul
may welcome any disruption in US aid
shipments to Afghanistan--which
transit Pakistan--hoping that this
would bring US intervention in the
dispute.

NOTES
A. The opening session of the Belgrade conference of non-aligned
nations heard speeches by Tito, who stressed the Tunisian
French problem, Sukarno, who advocated recognition of both
East and West Germany, and Nasir, who said the Soviet decision
to resume nuclear testing was a shock and would cause further
deterioration of the international situation.
B.
50X1
50X1
As a precautionary move against any attempt to overthrow the
Ethiopian regime while Haile Selassie is in Belgrade, about
200 persons suspected of disloyalty to the Emperor--includin
the president of the imperial court--have been arrested.
C. Present activity in the Novaya Zemlya area indicates that
50X1

nuclear test could take place at an early date.
D. Japanese labor federations, the Japanese Socialist party,
and local farmers are planning demonstrations to protest
US Marine artillery maneuvers scheduled to begin today at
a range on the slopes of Mt. Fuji. Leftists will probably
try to use the maneuvers to counter public reaction un-
favorable to the USSR over its announcement on nuclear
testing.
