SECKEI. UAR-Africa: The UAR is accelerating its program of assistance to various African nationalist movements. Fuad Jalal, Nasiris wide-ranging contact with such groups, asked Cairo to furnish about $70,000 for clandestine aid, most of which was Intended for use in Northern and Southern Rhodesia, Nyasaland, South Africa, and Basutoland. Last February, Jalal obtained authorization from Cairo to give about $21,000 to Patrice Lumumba, one of the leaders of the emerging Congo state. (Page 3) Pakistan: Pakistani President Ayub apparently intends to relieve ambitious Lieutenant General Sheikh of his duties as minister of interior and to appoint him permanently to the less powerful Ministry of Food and Agriculture, which he took over on an apparently temporary basis on 20 April. While this move and the appointment on 11 April of ex-Food Minister Lieutenant General Azam to the governorship of East Pakistan reflect the high priority being given to increasing food production and progress in East Pakistan, the two assignments, which are resented by the appointees, also suggest that Ayub may be de- liberately reducing the influence of the two strongest 'members of his cabine..tj (Page 4) 3 May 60 DAILY BRIEF TOP SECRET N Approved for Release: 2020/03/13 C03148939 ,Irro Art IN 71. rni f-% Trim r � le Approved for Release: 2020/03/13 C03148939 I. THE COMMUNIST BLOC W. U. ASIA-AFRICA New Demonstrations in South Korea New peaceful demonstrations on 2 May a Taegu and Pusan by about 20,000 South Korean students calling for the speedy election of a new national assembly suggest that the students have no intention of giving up their hard-won initiative. This continuing student ferment accompanies the efforts of the Huh Chung cabinet and the incumbent National Assembly to solve the constitutional problems complicating the evolution of a new regime and preparation for new elections. Although gradually relaxing martial-law restrictions, Lieutenant Gen- eral Song Yo-chan has warned that his men would take "strict action against future demonstrations." Some American observers have speculated that new elec- tions for the legislature will be held sometime in July, when the assembly probably will have finished amending or repeal- ing the most repressive legislation of the Rhee regime. It is not yet clear whether elections for a new legislature will pre- cede or follow the establishment of a form of government pro- viding a prime minister and cabinet responsible to parliament. Such a system might also eliminate the popular election of the president. Undue legislative conflict and delay over the neces- sary amendment of the constitution might provoke public dis- content against the legislators and further aggravate political Meanwhile, Huh Chung has indicated to the American Em- bassy that he intends to revise Rhee's hostage diplomacy to- ward Japan, relax enforcement of the "Rhee fishing line," and permit Japanese newsmen to enter South Korea. Such action should largely meet Tokyo's requirement for progress toward a settlement of outstanding issues between Seoul and Tokyo. Huh, however, must move cautiously to avoid any Impression that he is making excessive concessions to Japan.

Ibrahim recently protested the procedure followed when American units withdrew from two radar sites operated jointly with French forces. He demanded that the United States relinquish all facil- ities�even those operated jointly with France directly to Moroc- can forces, adding that incidents are "just what we want. . . if these are necessary to get the French out." Renewed protests are likely when American forces installed at a French base in Rabat are with- drawn] EAmbassador Yost comments that Ibrahim appears to be aware that he is about to be replaced and may plan, when out of power, to lead Moroccan leftists in a "frontal assault" on all Moroccan ties with the West.

Much of the con- tact work is being done by Fuad Jalal, Nasirts "roving am- bassador" in Africa, who advised Cairo on 26 April to supply about $70, 000 for clandestine aid to nationalist elements in Northern and Southern Rhodesia, Nyasaland, South Africa, and Basutoland. Jalal added that this must not be regarded as the final amount required. On 11 April he had informed Cairo of his contacts with nationalist groups from these states as well as with represent- atives of the Portuguese colonies who were seeking UAR aid. According to Jalal, "everyone" is offering aid to the African nationalists, but UAR aid is preferred as being "independent." Last February he arranged a UAR gift of $21, 000 to Patrice Lumurnba, nationalist leader in the Belgian Congo. He has also urged Cairo to invite visitors to the UAR including Tom Mboya, Peter Koinange, and Josep nf Manua anti Dr. Hastings Banda of Nyasaland. The UAR is using the current Afro-Asian Economic Con- ference in Cairo as another vehicle for influencing African nationalists and, in particular, for warning against Israeli efforts to bolster economic and political contacts in the area. Nasir's opening address to the conference went to some length to picture Israel as an "imperialist spearhead" whose expenses are paid by "countries which want Israelto establish new zones of infineneP for thorn in the newly� independent states."

Sheikh says that he has pro� - tested the intended shift but that Ayub insists on the grounds that he needs a man of Sheikh's strength in this key economic ministry. Lieutenant General Azam Khan, generally regarded as Ayub's right- hand man, vacated the top post in the Ministry of Food when Ayub appointed him governor of East Pakistan on 11 Aprili aloth men are unhappy with their new assignments. Azam was apparently eager to push ahead with his crash program to increase food production and reportedly tried to decline the governorship. In addition, he probably viewed his departure from Rawalpindi as a de- motion since it removed him from both the military and political center of power. Sheikh has been frequently mentioned in rumors circulated by opponents of the regime as eager to increase his own power even at the expense of President Ayub, and he may feel keenly his loss of control over Pakistan's police forces, which are under the Ministry of Interior) iyhile the changes demonstrate the importance Ayub attaches to the pi�oblerns of food production and the administration of East Pak- istan, the simultaneous reduction of the influence of the two strong- est men in the Ayub cabinet suggests that Ayub may be at least partly interested in consolidating his paramount position in the government. The reassignments could weaken the appearance of government sta- bility and internal harmony, which Ayub has hitherto managed to con- vey to the Pakistani public. In addition, the change in the Food and Agriculture Ministry, the third in four months, may slow down the food programj SECRET 3 Ma.y 60 CEApproved for Release: 2020/03/13 C03148939 Page 4 Approved for Release: 2020/03/13 C03148939 CONFIDEN TIA L THE PRESIDENT The Vice President �Executive Offices of the White House Special Assistant for National Security Affairs Scientific Adviser to the President.
