USSR
The Soviets apparently are planning
to relieve some of their naval and naval
aviation units in West Africa.
A Soviet destroyer and a merchant oiler--both
currently in the Mediterranean--also appear to be
en route to Conakry. They probably will relieve
the Kotlin-class destroyer and one of the two oilers
that are in the Conakry area.
In a possibly related development, it appears
that a Soviet J-class submarine is operating in
equatorial waters between Africa and South America.
The normal operating area for such submarines is
the Mediterranean. /

ITALY
Aldo Moro has apparently been able
to circumvent resistance in his Chris-
tian Democratic Party to forming a one-
party minority government.
Moro will probably report back to President
Leone today and begin drawing up a cabinet list.
It will be a fragile government at best, and
may not last beyond the Christian Democratic and
Socialist party congresses tentatively set for
next month.
The Communists will see some advantages in
the situation. They will now have more time before
a national election to build on the regional and
local election gains they won last summer. The
weakness of the new government will give the Commu-
nists more opportunity to exert behind-the-scenes
influence in parliament.

NOTES
The Indonesians have thwarted the UN fact-find-
ing team's efforts to visit Fretilin-heTa areas of
East Timor.
Secretary General Waldheim's special represen-
tative left Australia for Geneva on February 8 after
a week of unsuccessful efforts to arrange safe pas-
sage to consult Fretilin leaders in East Timor.
Jakarta will attempt to delay the raising of the
Timor issue at the UN as long as possible. The
Indonesians hope that by the time the topic does
come up for consideration they will be in a posi-
tion to argue that Timor's integration into Indo-
nesia is an accomplished fact and that the UN no
longer has a role to play.
Yugoslav President Tito's brief appearance on
television Saturday and staff preparations for his
foreign travel next month suggest that his latest
health problems are not so serious as to immobilize
him.
Several brief film clips showed Tito walking
slowly but steadily and waving his right arm as he
left Belgrade for a rest. He has decided to recu-
perate at his normal Brioni retreat. He is expected
to convalesce there until the end of the month.
Should he need more extensive treatment, there are
complete facilities in nearby Zagreb and Ljubljana.
Kenyan President Kenyatta, who is in his mid-
dle eighties, is reported to have suffered a major
stroke on Sunday night.
? 25X1
The Kenyan constitution provides that in the
event of the death or incapacity of the president,
the vice president becomes acting president for 90
days, during which time a new president is elected.
The eventual successor is likely to be selected by
Kenyatta's southern Kikuyu inner circle after nego-
tiations with politicians who head other politically
significant tribal groups.
