South Korea: Demonstrations on 2 May at Taegu and
Pusan by about 20,000 students calling for election of a new
national assembly suggest that the students have no intention
of giving up their hard-won initiative. Constitutional prob-
lems are complicating the evolution of a new regime and

Acting Chief. of State Huh Chung's intention to cease hos-
tage diplomacy, relax enforcement of the Rhee line, and admit
Japanese newsmen to South Korea will largely meet the require-
ments for progress toward a settlement between Seoul and Tokyo.

Indonesia-Netherlands: The Indonesian Government on
2 May took its first retaliatory step against the planned cruise
of Dutch naval units to Netherlands New Guinea by ordering all
foreign oil companies in Indonesia to replace their Dutch nation-
als with Indonesian citizens. Their departure is likely to reduce
the companies' efficiency and cause further damage to the Indo-

authorization from Cairo to give about $21,000 to Patrice

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

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.

Moroccan Premier Iddicates Intent to fress for French Evacuation
Loroccan Premier Abdullah Ibrahim has informed Ambassador
Yost that unless France shortly agrees to evacuate its Moroccan
bases, Morocco may "be obliged" to take "very severe" measures.
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. The King, however, still hesitates to replace the
present governmentl
[Moroccan harassment of French operations at the naval air fa-
cility at Kenitra--formerly Port Lyautey--which are operated in
conjunction with the US, would pose new, problems in US-Moroccan
relations. The French Air Force is considering transferring its
command functions and personnel from Rabat to Kenitra. Such a
move might provoke Moroccan leftists to attempt to blockade the
base

UAR Increases Aid to African Nationalists
The UAR is intensifying its efforts to influence national-
ist leaders in the emerging states of Africa. 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."

Pakistani Cabinet Shifts May Hurt Government's
Prestige and Authority, '
a3akistani President Ayuli apparently intends to relieve ambi-
tious Lieutenant General Sheikh of his duties as minister of interior
within a few weeks and appoint him permanently to the less impor-
tant Ministry of Food and Agriculture, which he took over on an ap-
parently temporary basis on 20 April. 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
