DAILY BRIEF
*Brazil: The anti-Goulart revolt which began
yesterday appears to be spreading.
The rebellion was sparked by army units under
command of General Mourao Filho, head of the
Fourth Military Region in Minas Gerais State. Mourao
has demanded President Goulart's resignation, justi-
fying this move as necessary to stop the growing Com-
munist influence in Brazil. At last report, Mourao's
troops were moving to the State border. Governor
Magalhaes Pinto has issued a proclamation support-
ing the action against Goulart. Other units, includ-
ing the air force base in Belo Horizonte, reportedly
were joining the rebellion.
In Sao Paulo, there are indications that Second
Army Commander General Amaury Kruel is prepar-
ing to join the movement. Sao Paulo Governor
Adhemar de Barros, a bitter Goulart foe, is also
expected to throw his support behind the rebels along
with several other governors.
First Army units from Rio de Janeiro have been
ordered to move against Mourao. No immediate
fighting has been reported, but the possibility of
violence appears to be increasing. All army and
navy units are on full alert.
The situation remains tense and confused in Rio
where pro-Goulart forces are expected to make a
strong stand. A general strike called by the Communist-
dominated General Workers Command appears to be

partially effective. Meanwhile, Governor Lacerda's
police began rounding up Communist labor leaders.
Army Chief of Staff Castello Branco, leader of
a strong opposition movement in the armed forces,
is expected to make known his plans momentarily.
His decision could well be the determining factor in
any showdown between Goulart and the military.

South Vietnam: The Viet Cong appear to be sin-
.gling out key officials for assassination in an effort
to hamstring the Ehanh regime's prograrn for placing
better qualified leaders in the countryside.
On 29 AUrch a Communist road mine was electri-
cally detonated under a jeep carrying the commander
of the Vietnamese 7th Division, an especially effective
unit located. in the hard-pressed Mekong delta area.
The commander's vehicle was singled out for attack
from a four-vehicle convoy, but he escaped injury.
In an incident last week, the Viet Cong killed the
highly regarded chief of the critical Dinh Tuong Prov-
ince, also in the delta.
Recent Viet Cong terrorism has also been con-
centrated on hamlet and village chiefs. If the Viet
Cong campaign continues, rural authorities may be-
come increasingly reluctant to provide "grass roots" 25X1
leadership by day-to-day exposure in the less secure
areas. [

Cyprus: Refusal by UN officers of a Greek Cypriot
request for advance notification of planned patrols by
UN forces probably will be followed by other Greek
Cypriot attempts to limit the freedom of action of the
peace-keeping force. Athens has announced willing-
ness to withdraw the Greek Army contingent from
Cyprus if Ankara will withdraw the Turkish contingent
--a move apparently designed to assist Makarios
his campaign to have the Turkish unit withdrawn. I

South Korea - Japan: The South Korean Government
has called for a "cooling-off period" on normalizing re-
lations with Japan. During this time, administration
strong-man Kim Chong-pil is to lead an effort to under-
cut domestic opposition to fhe Tokyo negotiations. Be-
cause the current Japanese Diet session will probably
end in mid-May, the cooling-off period will have to be
short if a ratified settlement is to be achieved this
year.-F

British Guiana:-, The new'British governor intends ON
to override opposition from Premier Jagan's People's
Progressive Party (PPP) to new general elections under
proportional representation--a system decreed by
London last October, but one the PPP fears may result
in its ouster. The governor says he will issue orders
directly to the civil service if--as could be inferred
from earlier PPP statements- -Jagan's administration 25
does not cooperate in the election. British- appointed
electoral officers are expected to arrive today in
