DAILY BRIEF
*Chile: Christian Democrat Eduardo Frei has
won a landslide victory in yesterday's presidential
election.
Returns as of 0430 EDT give Frei 1,463,535
votes to 975,690 for his Communist-backed Socialist
opponent, Salvador Allende.
Allende conceded defeat only four hours after
the polls closed, saying the growing Frei margin
could not be overcome. Demonstrating responsibil-
ity,. Allende told a crowd of his enraged followers
that "we must know how to win and lose."
Possibilities of violence were greatly reduced
by Allende's attitude, by the extent of his defeat, and
by the careful preparation of the authorities.
Frei's impressive victory provides him with a
clear mandate for the expansive reforms which he
has advocated for Chile. Nevertheless, he will lack
a majority in Congress, at. least until after the March
congressional elections, and he can no longer count
on the support of the Conservatives and Liberals who
backed him against Allende.

*South Vietnam: Premier Khanh is outlining an
ambitious schedule of political reforms for the next
two month
e has announced that in this period he will reor-
ganize his present government to give it a civilian
look. He also plans to form a predominantly civilian
committee which will be entrusted with the task of or-
ganizing a provisional government by November. Khanh
has implied that at that time the military would be pre-
pared to withdraw from the political sphere
would be in existence until 1 November
dissolve itself, Khanh told Ambassador Taylor that it
posed of himself and Generals Minh and Khiem would
trary to public implications that the triumvirate com-
ithin this broad framework,, the implementing
details apparently still remain to be worked out. Con-
fie told Taylor that all ranking military members
of his government had submitted their resignations,
but he had not yet decided which ones he could afford

order to reduce any coup threat from Dai Viet officers
ber of field command changes he intended to make in
to accept at the present time. He also outlined a num-
espite Khanh's claim that he now has a clear
field to make such changes, he faces serious obsta- 25X1
cles. The Buddhists show signs of continuing to make
unreasonable demands and disgruntled military offi-

Malawi: A cabinet revolt in Britain's former
Nyasaland protectorate may upset the rule of popular
pro-Western Prime Minister Kumuzu Banda.
In protest against Banda's high-handed adminis-
tration, virtually the entire cabinet has demanded that
he surrender his four. ministerial portfolios and ac-
cord the ministers greater power and respect. The
ministers also object to Malawi's close ties with
Portuguese-controlled Mozambique, necessary for
the country's economic well-being but anathema to
most African nationalists.
Early this week Banda capitulated to their de-
mands. He also agreed to end "ostentatious" rela-
tions with Portugal, and to invite Soviet and Chinese
Communist missions to visit Malawi.

NOTES
India: Factional strife in the Congress Party
ruling the south Indian state of Kerala presents a ma-
jor problem for the Shastri government. Unless the
differences are resolved before next Monday's sched-
uled vote of confidence in the state assembly, the
local government will fall. New Delhi would then
probably choose to impose its own "president's rule"
pending regular elections next February, rather than
25X1 call immediate elections from which the Communists,
who formerly ruled the state, would probably be the
chief b n i
raze : The government will apparently not yield`
to demands of the hard-line group within the Brazilian
military, according to US Embassy officials. Presi-
dent Castello Branco stated on 31 August that he was
not considering declaring a state of siege or reassum-
ing drastic punitive powers. Also, it now appears
that Sao Paulo Governor Adhemar de Barros, whose
removal on grounds of corruption ~ has been a major
objective of an important segment of the hard-line
U
group, will retain the governorship at least temporar-
ily. The hard-liners remain a significant political
25X1
force, but they are evidently not now powerful enough
to force a basic change in the administration's policies.
