anxious to have the Suez Canal reopened.
Egyptian newspapers are claiming 50X1

An angry President Pak, fed up with .
opposition stalling, has publicly slammed,
the door on further government conces- 50X1
sions to end the opposition's five-month-
old boycott of the legislature. The
squabble is now likely to heat up, with
opposition hard-liners calling for street
demonstrations.
Djakarta is suspending diplomatic
relations with Peking. This stops just
short of a formal break, but involves
closing the Indonesian Embassy in Peking.
Chinese diplomats in Indonesia have been
told to pack up and get out by next Mon-
day.
Extremists are planning to rally
in Quito this evening to protest the
death of "Che" Guevara. The US and Bo-
livian embassies are targets and some
incidents are likely.

President Belaunde has his back to
the wall as strikes over high living 50X1
costs edge closer to widescale violence.
Military leaders, still the final poli- 50X1
tical arbiters in Peru, are predicting
a military takeover unless present trends
are quickly reversed,
a military regime would
most likely shift the country's interna-
tional orientation away from the US and
toward Western Europe, particularly
France. The French have, in fact, been
increasing their influence among Peru-
vian officers, partly because of the
recent sale of Mirage fighter-bombers.
