� *Congo: There are indications that the Moroccan Govern-
ment is moving to dissociate itself from the UN Congo opera-
tion. The 3,000-man Moroccan unit in the country reportedly
has be dered not to fight against the forces supporting Lu-
mumbaUd the Moroccan crown prince recently stated that
he had undertaken to begin the withdrawal of his forces by 5
February. Harnmarskjold has told US officials that, with Kasa- it)/
vubu having made public his request for the removal of Dayal, /4,t
chid UN representative in the Congo, he cannot now appoint a v 3

Dayal's contract would not be renewed when it lapses two months
hence.

*Iran: The Shah, faced by chronic financial difficulties
and persistent nationalist opposition, is trying to strengthen
his position with a new round of rigged parliamentary elec-
tions, now about 20.4percent completed. The elections started
in rural areas about a week ago and are scheduled for Tehran
about the first of February. The Shah apparently has hoped
that the elections, besides fulfilling constitutional requirements,
would produce a favorable impression on the United States, on
which he continues to rely for financial help. Although the Shah
will obtain a reasonably, docile parliament, the electoral meth-
ods and the disorders which may still result from them, particu-
larly in Tehran, will maintain the breach between the Shah and
the people, and the possibility of a coup against him continues.
In an effort to moderate Soviet propaganda the Shah plans
to send a "good-will" mission to Moscow in March. Ichru-
shchev accepted the mission in principle on 8 January. Iran-
ian Foreign Ministry officials feel, however, that the USSR will
continue to press for a prior agreement on some points which
could be announced in Moscow on the occasion of the visit. The
USSR's aim is a political accommodation which would at least
begin to weaken Iran's ties with the West, but the Shah insists
he will agree to nothing which would compromise Iran's obliga-
tions to the Central Treaty Orcrani7atinn and thp TTnitpd Statect
