Moroccoe delkhalik Torres, an important
leader and Mo occan ambassador to Cairo, intends to resign
and return to active politics. Torres' decision probably has the
approval of the King, who may look on Torres as a conserva-
tive and as an acceptable future premier. Premier Ibrahim
had. wanted Torres to remain in Cairo, but was presumably over-
ruled by the King. An adherent of the Istiglal party's right wings,
which is still struggling with the left wing for party control,
Torres will try to strengthen the right wing's following in north-
ern ;Morocco. If he fails, he may try to reconstitute the Islah,
his former party, which had a wide followin in the North. 25X1
