Panama: T Former President Arnulfo Arias is
continuing to seek political support from various
groups and may be gaining some acceptance as the
Panamanian leader most likely to resolve the current
impasse
lrias would prefer to be voted into the presidency
in the May elections, but is probably prepared to at-
tempt a coup if he concludes it is the only way he can
regain power.

rias is negotiating for support from Panama's
wealt y Jewish community, which has primarily eco-
nomic relations with the ruling elit,)
Lrias has shown that he retains the wide public
support with which he has twice won election only to
be ousted--the last time by the National Guard. His
apparently moderate stand on the canal issue does
not seem to have hurt him politically, probably be-
cause of his strong nationalistic record. The Panama-
nian elite resent his appeal to the masses, but seem
sufficiently impressed. over his chances for a third
election so that some members are discussing pos-
sible deals with hiiI
Several Communist leaders were reported in
recent months to have solicited Arnulfo Arias' help
in political or coup plans, but appear to distrust him

Kenya: A struggle for power appears to be shaping
up between Prime Minister Kenyatta and Minister of
Home Affairs Oginga Odinga, who has long had finan-
cial ties with Moscow and Peiping.
Odinga's plotting against Kenyatta is described by
the US Embassy in Nairobi as having reached "alarm-
ing proportions" Odinga, a Luo, is seeking to increase
his influence in Kenyatta's Kikuyu tribe among ex - Mau-
Mau fighters and youth groups, as well as in the Kamba
tribe, which is strong in Kenya's security forces.
The embassy believes Kenyatta, who is awake to
Odinga's maneuvers, might emerge stronger than ever
if he moves fast enough. Serious splits could develop,
however, in the Kikuyu-Luo-Kamba tribal alliance
which makes up Ken atta's party, and in the security
forces.

Indonesia: The Djakarta government has begun
to take over certain British enterprises which have
been seized or harassed by labor unions, mostly
Communist-led, since 18 January. Djakarta's ac-
tion to extend "government supervision" to those en-
terprises, reported by the press on 2 February, has
been anticipated by the British for months but may
have been accelerated by Communist activity. The
enterprises presumably affected--the Shell oil com-
pany, at least 44 companies and agricultural estates
in Java, and some in North Sumatra- -constitute a sig-
nificant pro ortion of total British investment in Indo-
ne ia.
