On 4 July the URC published a constitution for a pilot organization, whose member- ship is to be small, carefully selected, and trained to carry out the government's program to make Burma a socialist state. After an indefinite period of tute- lage, during which the URC would select its officers and members, the organization is to become a totali- tarian "people's party" responsive to the demands of the government leadership. . It is unlikely that Burmese political leaders will cooperate voluntarily with Ne Win's plan. The scheme probably will increase popular opposition, already wide- spread. and add to dissension within the URC, Pakistan: Increasing defiance of President Ayub has been developing in the National Assembly since it convened in early June under the constitution Ayub pro- mulgated last March. On 6 July, 90 of 156 members of the assembly walked out in protest against the arrest of Qayyum Khan, a prominent politician who was pub- licly opposing Ayub despite a ruling barring him from political activity. convinced Ayub that they are as irresponsible and self - centered as when he ousted them from power four years ago, and he will probablV not tolerate their nresent be- The politicians have been preoccupied with devel- oping voting blocs in the national and two provincial assemblies and with increasing their opportunities for political maneuvering.

In a conversation with US Deputy Assistant Secretary Tyler on 3 July, Spaak said he thought it would be clear by the end of July whether the UK-EEC accession talks would succeed, and that in this "most critical time" he wanted to explore ideas with a number of European coun- tries [Spaak took the lead last April in postponing further cons eration by the Six of a draft treaty for political union, mainly because he believes that British acces- sion to EEC will radically alter the outlook for Euro- pean political union. He now apparently feels there is a good chance that the European community will be sub- stantially enlarged, and wants to ascertain how much grass-roots support there is for a union with m r su- pranational features than those envisaged in Apri . a- ak's initiative and the Adenauer - De Gaulle ment on 5 July will stimulate renewed considera- tion of a political treaty, but final agreement within the next few months still appears unlikely] I Jul oz DAILY BRIE F vii A roved For Relea 006500050001-4 pp - 25X1 S 25X1 Peru: No final answer has been given to the ulti- matum of the Peruvian armed forces that Victor Raul Haya de la Torre must renounce his presidential can- didacy "by the end of the week'.' Haya, in an effort to prevent a military coup, had offered to withdraw, but leaders of his APRA party refused to agree. An ex- traordinary national convention, convoked on 4 July and still in session, has demanded that he stay and "carry on the fight with the support of the people who elected him" on 10 June. *Brazil: The government crisis remains unre- solved as President Goulart continues his fight for supremacy over the Brazilian legislature. Goulart must nominate a new prime minister by Monday, ac- cording to the constitution. His first choice for the post was rejected by the Chamber of Deputies last week; his second choice, confirmed by the Chamber, resigned on 4 July over a dispute with Goulart about cabinet appointments. Goulart now appears to be seeking a candidate from the conservative Social Dem- ocratic party who would be acceptable to the Chamber of Deputies but who would agree to work toward res- toration of a strong presidential system. His support- ers are also seeking court action to restore the pres- idential system and abolish the prime ministry. The strikes which were called in major Brazilian cities this week to support the President against con- gressional opposition appear to be tapering off; they showed considerable effectiveness, however, and will likely be resumed if another Goulart-Congress impasse develops. Meanwhile, shortages of certain basic foods in several major cities--caused largely by distributors' speculative witholding of goods from the market--have contributed. to the atmosphere of unrest and resulted in some rioting in the Rio de Janeiro area. 7 July 62 DAILY BRIEF 25X1 - Approved For Relea 006500050001-4 25X1 Approved For Releaa~ Peruvian Election Developments 590050001-4 General Manuel Odria, former dictator who placed third in the 10 June election, urged Haya to stay. Odria insists on compliance with the constitutional provision that when no candidate has received more than one third of the total popular vote, congress must choose among the top three. A coalition between Odria's National Un- ion (UNO) and Haya's APRA had been negotiated in prin- ciple but not in detail before the armed forces issued their ultimatum. The APRA-UNO coalition would have a majority in both chambers when congress meets on 28 July, and could select either Haya or Odria, although the preponderance of APRA members favors the selection of Haya. Fernando Belaunde Terry, who has had the support of both the anti-APRA armed forces and the Communists, insists that he is the president-elect because Haya's lead is based on "fraudulent" ballots. Belaunde alleges that the National Elections Board "must" disqualify enough APRA ballots to give him an undisputed third of the pop- ular vote, thus avoiding congressional action. His stand is backed by the armed forces, who have threatened since March forcibly to prevent Haya from occupying the presi- dency. Violence is likely in any event. Belaunde has threat- ened to lead his followers in an armed insurrection if he is not installed as president. His threat is no idle one; Communists and other leftists who have been advocating violent revolution for several years are eager to follow him in such a venture. The labor unions controlled by APRA, comprising at least 80 percent of Peruvian labor, are prepared to call a general strike if they believe Haya is "cheated" out of the presidency. APRA's 30-year his- tory of violence indicates the party's willingness and abil- ity to fight.
