1. Panama
a. Panama is outwardly quiet
for the moment and the laggard Na-
tional Guard is moving to establish
firmer control.
b.
this air of calm may
be deceptive. Agitators were still
in the streets last evening trying
to keep tensions alive, and only a
small spark is needed to set off a
new round of violence.
c. Panama radio continues its
inflammatory broadcasts.
d. Nationalist groups and his
own official family are putting pres-
sure on President Chiari to continue
to insist on a substantial revision
of the 1903 treaty.
e. Typical of these pressures
was the declaration yesterday by
his foreign minister that relations
with Washington will not be resumed
until the US gives "concrete indica-
tions" of a willingness to negotiate
a new treaty.

the Panamanian National Assembly
has called for the establishment of
a leftist government by any means
possible.
a. The new African-led regime
has clamped a night time curfew on
the island in an effort, so far not
entirely successful; to restore
order.
b. An individual styling him-
self "field marshal" has been issu-
ing radio bulletins on behalf of the
new authorities. Among these was a

the streets or be shot.

Arab-dominated government are under
arrest and will not be permitted to
leave the island for at least three
months.

b. Should he die, an interim
president would be chosen to serve
out the remaining months of the Lopez
Mateos term.
c. Diaz Ordaz, a political
moderate who is the presidential can-
didate of the ruling party and a cer-
tain winner in the July elections,
would presumably have a strong voice
in the selection of a man to serve
until he takes office in December.
5. British Guiana - a. Nkrumah has offered to
Ghana send a delegation to British Guiana
next month to help feuding political
groups there to join in a united
front and press London for early in-
dependence.
c. The proposal may
get on the agenda of the Caribbean
"summit" conference now under way in
Jamaica.

6. Algeria
a. Opposition to Ben Bella,
never far below the surface, is be-
coming increasingly vocal.
b. There were open antiregime
demonstrations last week which grew
out of his failure to cope with the
country's economic difficulties.
More are expected.
c. Following these disturbances,
Ben Bella declared that he would
"break the backs" of all the "animals"
who oppose him, using the firing
squad as needed.
e. He is now in Cairo for the
Arab summit, leaving the reins in
Algiers in the hands of Defense Min-
ister Boumedienne, who has been criti-
cal of Ben Bella's softness on this

NOTES
A. India-Pakistan Some improvement has been noted in
the situation in riot-torn Calcutta as a result of
a round-the-clock curfew and stringent efforts by
the Indian Army to keep Hindus and Muslims apart.
B. USSR We have no evidence that the Soviets have in
TEEF begun cutting back their troop strength as Khru-
shchev and other high officials have claimed in recent
public statements.
C. Morocco-Cuba King Hassan's government has decided
to resume relations with Havana, which were broken
off last November as a result of Havana's supplying
Ben Bella with arms during the border crisis.
D. Philippines-Malaysia
Macapagal is trying
to arrange a meeting with Tunku Rahman "to balance"
the recent Macapagal-Sukarno talks,
they might
meet in mid-February after Ramadan, perhaps in Bangkok.
