LATE ITEM
Panama (Information as of 1600. 24 Nov
64): No further disturbances have occurred
since those outside the National Assembly
yesterday.
The assembly met through the night in
camera on the row between ex-chief negotiator
Illueca and Foreign Minister Eleta. and passed
a resolution which endorses the Robles govern-
ment's standing position on the Canal negoti-
ations with the US. More important, the as-
sembly gave a vote of confidence to Eleta thus
winning another important point for the govern-
ment.
There may well be further extremist
agitation, however. The students have called
a meeting tonight with certain leftist unions
and other radical groups to plan more demon-
strations tomorrow. There is talk of a general
strike.
The students' leader, Victor Avila, has
has opposed pro-Castroite demands for violent
demonstrations against the Canal Zone. Avila
wants instead to concentrate on arousing re-
sentment against President Robles and the
national guard.
The students' communique issued after
yesterday's demonstration was thus addressed
to all "democratic and patriotic sectors
interested in a change in the political scene,"
but cautioned against "headlong action."

1. USSR:
Kosygin has long been
considered a first-class man by his colleagues.
2. Communist China: The Chinese have pub-
licly announced that they consider further
nuclear testing is within their sovereign
right and that "no outsiders can interfere."
This came in response to a protest by Ja-
panese Premier Sato,

4, Communist China: We have about decided
that the G-class submarine spotted at Dairen
earlier this month was built there by the
Chinese. This is suggested by a re-check of
past photography, which appears to show that
hull assembly began about June 1962.
In the Soviet Navy the G-class submarine
carries three surface-launched missiles. The
Dairen submarine looks completed, but we can-
not tell to what extent it is fitted out. We
doubt that it is armed according to Soviet
specifications.
We think the Chinese are working hard to
develop the missiles and warheads themselves,
but consider this submarine far from operational
as a missile launcher.
5. Italy: The results of the nationwide
municipal elections spell trouble for the Moro
government, and it may collapse soon.
The Communists registered their highest
(26%) and the Moro's Christian Democrats
their lowest (37.4%) vote in these elections
since the war.
Nenni's Socialist Party vote is down 25%
from last year's showing. Pressures in the
party to pull out of the national coalition
will now be greatly increased.

6, Yemen: Although some fighting, initiated
by royalist attacks, continues in the north
despite the cease-fire, the Saudis and the
Egyptians apparent?__y are continuing to press
for a settlement,
lboth countries are co-
operating in preparations for the republican-
royalist unity conference, which has been
DostoOned until 30 November.
7. Sino-Soviet Dispute: Relations have
clearly not improved since Khrushchev's down-
fall, and Peiping has intimated they will
not improve unless Moscow makes concessions.
The "preparatory" conference of Communist
parties Called by Khrushchev
definitely decided
through with it, no firm date has been
8, France-UK: The French apparently intend
to press on with development of the 'COncorde"
supersonic transport, despite the desire of
the British to back out.

De Gaulle has given signs of a personal
interest in this project. He apparently has
been advised that the French aircraft industry
could produce engines for the Concorde in about
three years'time, should the British pull out.
This seems unduly optimistic. In any event,
Paris is keeping pressure on by threatening to
take the matter to the International Court of
Justice.

o the Plaine des Jarres continues heavy.
