Dominican Republic: President Bosch and dis-
gruntled conservative rriilitary and civilian leaders
are increasingly at odds.
In a meeting with rriilitary leaders on 3 August,
Bosch, who is showing increasing signs of insecurity,
warned that antigovernment plots were in the making.
One involves Antonio Imbert, would-be strong man
who has been seeking a pretext to move against the
President.
Imbert has told the US naval attache that he and
.Luis Amiama Tio--only survivors of the Trujillo as-
sassination--will confront Bosch on his soft policy to-
ward communism, and predicted that Bosch will
threaten to resign. Imbert claims military backing
for his plan and says he has already chosen the mem-
bers of a provisional government to replace Bosch.
Imbert's claim of military support is probably a
bluff, but recent political developments make a move
against Bosch--or his resignation--a growing possi-
bility. Military leaders are increasingly concerned
about Communist activity and Bosch is unlikely to
meet their demands for a crackdown.
Opposition politicians have heightened the tension
by also exploiting the Communist issue. In addition,
they are playing on fears aroused by Bosch's recently
proposed legislation which many Dorrrinicans thought,
in its original form, would have allowed property con-
fiscation without compensation,
During September and October, domestic unem-
ployment--already high and a major economic prob-
lem--is due to rise sharply, and Bosch's inability to
implement popular reforms could be another reason
precipitating a showdown.

DAILY BRIEF
 Colombia: Widespread popular and military dis-
content with the Valencia government is creating new
political tensions.
The armed forces have been placed on alert status
and granted special powers to make preventive arrests.
This action followed the outbreak of a wave of strikes
by Communist-dominated unions and the uncovering of
an alleged coup attempt by former dictator Rojas Pinilla.
So far, Rojas and at least seven of his followers have
been arrested.
Military leaders, disgusted with President Valencia's
ineffectual handling of the internal security situation,
have been pressing for stronger measures, such as the
declaration of a state of siege. There is as yet no evi-
dence that a military coup is in the making, but there
might be one if the current uneas state of affairs con-

Brazil: President Goulart is continuing to
strengthen his personal control over the Brazilian
Army.
Among the sweeping changes made in key posts
on 6 August was the assignment of General Bandeira
de Moraes, a strongly pro-Goulart officer, as com-
mander of the important second military region (Sao
Paulo). He replaces General Mourao Filho, long an
active leader of the anti-Goulart forces in the mili-
tary. Other nationalistic pro-Goulart officers as-
signed to politically strategic commands include the
new. commanders of the Fourth Army in Recife and
the fifth military region in southern Brazil
The government has also announced the transfer
of additional army units to reinforce the garrison in
Brasilia and. more troops are due to fallow. The US
army attachd believes that the build-up of forces in
the capital may be aimed at bringing pressure on the
congress to pass Goulart's controversial a rarian
reform ro ram.

relations with the US, the Bucharest regime stopped
jamming VOA and RFE broadcasts a week ago, and
on 7 August proposed to Washington the reciprocal

have also offered to re-examine outstanding differences
with Washington and have suggested that the level of
diplomatic representation in the two capitals be raised.
