DAILY BRIEF
16 DECEMBER 1966
1. Jordan
2. Indonesia
Relative calm has prevailed for
several days, but there are indications
of preparations for new moves against
Husayn's regime.
General Suharto's planned campaign
to oust-Sukarno has failed to material-
ize, and he is under increasing pres-
sure to get up and get going.
Suharto may be prodded into a somewhat,
faster shuffle, but he is not likely to
move with precipitate speed for fear of
sparking civil war in Java, where
Sukarno's following is still strong.

Soviet Premier Kosygin heads for
Turkey next Tuesday on a week-long
visit. The Soviets have been working
to persuade neighbors on their south-
ern border that they, are not ogres.
For their part, the Turks see the
visit as another step in their pro-
gram to broaden their foreign relations,
but they have no intention of getting
overly close with the Russians. We do
not believe much of substance will be
accomplished during the junket, al-
though some economic deals may be signed.
When government troops moved in
on the university Wednesday, they ar-
rested a US citizen, George Kapo, pro-
fessor of chemistry. The soldiers,
looking for leftists, were suspicious
of Kapo's beard and hauled him away.
The American consul entered the pic-
ture, Kapo was released, and at last
report was shaving off the beard.
