DAILY BRIEF

*Tanganyika: The radical nationalist minister of
external affairs and defense, Oscar Kambona, appears
to be using the present disorder in Tanganyika to en-
hance his position relative to that of President Nyerere.
m bona has been repeatedly evasive
a ou yerere's whereabouts and for all practical pur-
poses has been the government since the army mutiny
erupted two days ago. It now appears that Nyerere
remained at his office-residence behind military guard.
Kambona has not always agreed with Nyerere's
moderate, pro-Western stance and would probably pre-
fer to follow a neutralist policy, particularly in ob-
taining material assistance for his expanding army.

LUS bankers in Panama report that the general
economic situation continues to deteriorate, with a
resultant flight of local and US capital from the coun-
try. These trends could result in Chiari's resigna-
tion, an action which would probably touch off a
scramble for power by factions of the right and left

EPublic demonstrations have been banned in Saigon
to ward off disorders by students protesting proposals
to neutralize Vietnam. The government is, however,
deeply concerned that the public may become receptive
to the idea of neutralism. France's decision to recog-
nize Communist China has sharpened this concern.
The Saigon press predic s that Saigon may sever diplo-
matic relations with Paris
Reports persist of dissatisfaction with Prime Min-

This new organization, to be known as the Single

did tell the US ambassador that he had ordered the head
of Petrobas, Brazil's oil monopoly, not to give funds

NOTES
Ethiopia: The US Embassy believes that Emperor
Haile Selassie has decided. to receive Chou En-lai in
Addis Ababa and to recognize Communist China. On
20 January, the Emperor took the unprecedented step
of receiving a Chinese Communist delegation on a high
Ethiopian religious holiday. Later, the Emperor, in
hinting to a US newsman that he was ready to extend
recognition, cited De Gaulle's decision and. said that

political stability largely depends. An international
consortium including most of Turkey's NATO allies,
which has agreed. to help Turkey financially, is sched-
uled for a new pledging session on January 27-28, but
it does not appear willing to pledge enough aid either
to meet Turkey's minimum operational and growth re-
quirements or to avoid aggravating its chronic foreign
exchange problems. Failure to gain the needed assist-
