DAILY BRIEF
*USSR-Berlin: &.Soviet detention of a British convoy
at both ends of the Berlin autobahn on 16 October ap-
parently reflects an intention to continue the harass-
ment of Western access as a means of building pres-
sure for early negotiation
Soviet authorities are now seeking to impose new
proc dures for checking Allied convoys. They almost
certainly expect the US to reject these demands. They
may have calculated, however, that British convoys
might grant minor concessions which would strengthen
Moscow's bargaining position vis-a-vis the US. In any
event, the USSR probably believes that disclosure of
differences between US and British convoy procedures
will tend to underscore the need for negotiations to
remove "misunderstanding
Moscow presumably intends to maintain close con-
trol over these harassments in order to avoid irrep-
arable damage to the detente atmosphere. The Soviet
leaders, however, appear to be operating on the as-
sumption that the US and Britain also have an interest
in preserving this atmosphere and that this situation
affords the USSR greater latitude for maneuv rs to
draw the West into a new round of Berlin talk I

Poland: Increased tension in Poland over the
regime's :antichurch actions has led to violence
whose suppression required the use of army troops.
local police in t e sou eas border city
of rzemys were driven back twice by a mob re-
sisting closure of a Roman Catholic school last week
before troops successfully stormed the building.
During August, armored cars equipped with tear gas
had to be used for the seizure of a Capuchin novitiate
in Nove Miasto.
The incidents arose in the wake of nationwide
closings during this year of seminaries, convents,
monasteries, and the few remaining parochial schools.
The regime has been attempting in this way to break
the power of religious orders, which it considers the
core of the church's resistance.
The Polish people already are restive over price
rises and the threats of winter food and fuel short-
ages. Although the regime will have little trouble
controlling further demonstrations, the strong reac-
tion of the people on the religious issue reflects the
thin veneer of the Polish o ulation's tolerance for
its Communist ru

Yugoslavia - Latin America - Nonaligned States:
Members of Tito's entourage consider that his`, recent
visits to Brazil, Chile, and Bolivia were failures,
They were extremely pleased by his reception in
Mexico, however, apparently because of the consid-
erably larger public turnout. Tito reportedly caused
some consternation among delegates from the non-
aligned states at the UN by his remarks in Latin Amer-
ica that the concept of blocs and nonaligned states has
been superseded. by a new division of the world into
