1. Syria
50X1
a) The new government has been strength-
ened internally by a declaration of 50X1
support by a cross section of Syrian
political leaders, but is not relaxing
its security precautions in the face
of continuing inflammatory propaganda
from Cairo. Since Monday, there has
been a decline in sublic disorders;
In Alexandria, 3 of the 6 50X1
or reighters Which had loaded
military equipment earlier were
unloaded yesterday, but the equip-
ment remained on the quays. The
Egyptian navy had begun rationing
fuel oil to foreign ships there on
Sunday;
c) we believe that, should he finally
decide to move, Nasir will face the
threat of counteraction by Jordan,
Iraq, Turkey and possibly Israel,
There Are also signs that Nasir is
none too confident of his own internal
position--Egyptian police are on a
24-hour alert.

NOTES
50X1
A. Adoula is continuing to fend off extremists in his
government who are pushing for military intervention in
Katanga. some army e(d
leaders are making plans tor such an operation, despite
the considerable logistical difficulties involved. 50X1
B. The Polish armed forces have taken over control of all
Polish communications,
This step appears to be
related to the Warsaw Pact maneuvers scheduled for this
onth and next.
C. Preparations are underway which point to another Soviet
space attempt, possibly timed for the Party Congress
which starts the 17th.
