1. NEW MILITARY REGIME IN HAITI SURVIVES
SERIOUS VIOLENCE
Comment on:
parts of the country. Fignole, whose greatest strength is
among the slum dwellers of the capital, arrived in New York
on 15 June, an exile.
The army and police have arrested num-
erous leaders of the mobs, but renewed violence is feared.
The military government of General
Antoine Kebreau, who ousted Provi-
sional President Fignole on 14 June,
faces the difficult task of pacifying
Fignole's supporters, who went on an
orgy of rioting and arson in the capital
city during the night of 15-16 June.
Many were killed by army rifle and
machine gun tire, and travelers reported violence in other
shortly before the outbreak of violence.
a plot by Fignole's
supporters among army enlisted men was thwarted by Kebreau
Kebreau's government,

is composed largely of politically
independent officers. Kebreau can survive the next few
days, his government may give greater hope for a period of
relative political stability than have previous governments of
the past six months.

4. SITUATION IN INDONESIA 25X1 A
Comment on.
President Sukarno has won a signifi-
cant political victory by gaining the
cabinet's approval for the 45 appointed
members of his national council, but
its establishment may usher in a new
critical period in Indonesia. The Moslem
Masjumi Party and the disaffected prov-
inces, particularly those in Sumatra, have
consistently opposed both the creation of the council and Pres-
ident Sukarno's concept of "guided democracy" involving Com-
munist participation in the government.
25X1
Within the realm of Djakarta politics, a
three-cornered battle for political supremacy is reported under
way among President Sukarno, Prime Minister Djuanda, and
General Nasution. President Sukarno is in the ascendancy.

5. LEBANESE ELECTION STRIFE
Reference:
The renewal of an old family feud a.c--
centuated by political" rivalry reportedly
ended in more than 20 dead and 30 wounded
in a village near Tripoli, Lebanon. The
clash occurred at a funeral attended by the Frangiyah clan,who
support the pro-Egyptian National Front, and the Duwayhis,
whose candidate is on the progovernment list. Lebanese army
units suppressed the fighting and arrested members of both
clans. Such a gun-battle is not unusual for a Lebanese elec-
tion and cannot be considered as serious an affair as the anti-
government rioting in Beirut on 30 May. The clash on 16 June
should be viewed as part of a vendetta.
Meanwhile, the elctions in the Mount Leb-
anon district were carried out peacefully and resulted in the
election of at least 16 progovernment candidates.

6. SUHRAWARDY SCORES VICTORY OVER LEFTIST
OPPONENTS IN EAST PAKISTAN
25X1A
Comment on
25X1A
Pakistani prime minister Suhrawardy's
victory over pro-Communist opponents
of his foreign policy on 13 June at a con-
vention of the East Pakistan Awami
League has strengthened him in rela-
tion to subversive elements in East Pakistan. The meeting
in Dacca of the party's 800-man council had been anticipated
as a critical test of strength between the pro-American prime
minister, who heads the national Awami League, and Maulana
Bhashani, the president of the East Pakistan Awami League who
is closely affiliated with Communist and Indian agents.
After hearing Suhrawardy and Bhashani
defend their opposing views on such issues as Pakistan's par-
ticipation in SEATO and the Baghdad pact, the party councilors
endorsed Suhra.wardy?s policies, with only 46 in opposition. The
council also ratified the expulsion of ten leaders of the Bhashani
faction.
After defeating the Bhashani faction on
these issues, the counc.11 unanimously passed a resolution urg-
ing Bhashani. to wi.thd.r?aw his resignation offer of last March.
Suhrawardy hopes to keep Bhashani.In a Suhrawardy-controlled
Awami League, lest Bhashani organize a leftist party which
would threaten the Awami League in East Pakistan and which
might unite with the pro-Communist Pakistan National Party
of West Pakistan.
