ever. Haya de la Torrel
would
prefer to bow out to preserve civil
peace, but it is doubtful that his
followers will accept this course. We
do not know yet what happened at yester-
day's extraordinary convention of the
APRA party, but all indications were
that the decision would be to make
a contest of it. The support of some-
thing like 80% of Peruvian labor is
the Aprista trump card.
a. At Geneva, signs are gathering
that the Bloc intends to ,dig in on a
claim that integration of the opposing
military forces is an internal affair
and no business of the conference.
b. Back in Laos, Phoumi and
Souphannouvong are both holding back
on military integration, each supposing
that he is better off with what he now
has. Only the neutralists, whose forces
are still handcuffed by the Pathet Lao,
want a quick change.
c. South Vietnam, angered by
Vientiane's recognition of North Vietnam,
50X1 is threatening to boycott the Geneva
conference./

3. Brazil
4. Algeria
Prime Minister-designate Andrade
turned in his resignation yesterday
when President Goulart refused to
accept his cabinet slate. Goulart,
who would like to fill the office
with someone as submissive as the
outgoing man, has the constitutional
right to make one more nomination
before the decision passes to the
Brazilian Senate. Although the
military have declared a precautionary
alert and the left is rallying its
forces in order to influence the out-
come, the odds for the moment favor
a compromise solution. There is a
strong suspicion, however, that
Goulart would welcome a deadlock
which he could use as a lever for con-
stitutional change to strengthen his
own powers.
Some 35,000 members of the Algerian
Liberation Army began moving into Algeria
from Tunisia and Morocco yesterday after
the French opened the borders. Ben
Bella's claim against the Ben Khedda
wing of the Provisional Algerian Govern-
ment in Algiers is strengthened by
that much, and the threat of civil
war continues to hang over the coun-
try. We note, however, that Ben Bella
has stopped short of placing himself
in open opposition and that Nasir is
working hard to patch up some kind
of truce. The chances are fairly
good that the factional issue will
be thrown into the quasi-parliamentary
National Council of the Algerian
Revolution.

Although Subandrio has said repeatedly
that his government plans no large-
scale action while discussions with
the Dutch are in progress, he has also
said that Djakarta will declare war
if the talks fail. The build-up is
also being observed by the Dutch and
it will serve as a reminder to them
that this threat exists.

There has been no significant
change in the military situation.
Krishna Menon
50X1
is not "Pro" or "anti" 50X1
any country but is out for the best
bargain. We would assume that Menon
will put this disingenuous line to
use in his lobbying for the MIG
deal which goes on without letup.
Nehru, however, seems to be in no
hurry, to make the hard decision on
the MIG's.

NOTES
A. Members of Chancellor Gorbach's party in Moscow are rejoicing
to the Western press that the Soviets are not going to block
Austria's association with the EEC. Speaking at a reception
for Gorbach yesterday, Khrushchev again condemned EEC as an
arm of NATO but did not say he would try to veto Austrian plans.
B. The UAR says it has responded to US urging and has warned the
Cubans against turning the upcoming Cairo economic conference
into a platform for anti-American invective.
