Tshombe, meanwhile, is pressing on with his round of talks with all manner of Congolese politicians, and, from what he tells the press, is getting pledges of cooperation from all sides. He is talking now of turning in his report to Kasavubu in a day or two. The president will then have to designate someone to form a transitional government. The odds on Tshombe still look good, but Kasavubu may yet opt for Adoula. 2. Italy: Leaders of all the parties in the last government have urged Segni to ask Moro to try to form a new center-left coalition. President Segni, however, is waiting to see how the Socialists' central committee meet- ing today and tomorrow turns out. The Social- ists, bitterly at odds among themselves, are under heavy pressure to come up with a position that will enable them to join a coalition.

Haiti: small groups of armed rebels have managed to get ashore. Perhaps as many as fifty men may be involved. The Haitians are expecting another landing 50X1:1 50X1 The regime's firm grip on the country is unlikely to be shaken by such pin pricks.

Panama: The national guard is aware of Communist-led students' plans to march into the Canal Zone on the 4th of July, and proposes to prevent them from doing so. 50X1 50X1 (Cont d) For The President Only - Top Secret Declassified in Part - Sanitized Copy Approved for Release 2015/07/24 : CIA-RDP79T00936A002800160001-9 50X1 Declassified in Part - Sanitized Copy Approved for Release 2015/07/24 : CIA-RDP79T00936A002800160001-9 Chiari apparently wants no trouble during the last months of his administration. 7. Brazil: Goulart and Brizola, who are still in Uruguay, are reportedly trying to smuggle arms to start a guerrilla movement in Brazil. Goulart and his former circle are not at present in a position to do much harm, but we expect them to engage in counter-revolutionary plotting more or less chronically. 8. Portugal - Communist China: Portuguese recognition of Communist China appears to be getting close. 50X1 50X1 50X1 For The President Only - Top Secret Declassified in Part - Sanitized Copy Approved for Release 2015/07/24 : CIA-RDP79T00936A002800160001-9 Declassified in Part - Sanitized Copy Approved for Release 2015/07/24 : CIA-RDP79T00936A002800160001-9 50X1 50X1 50X1 Declassified in Part - Sanitized Copy Approved for Release 2015/07/24 : CIA-RDP79T00936A002800160001-9
