Syria-Israel. A major Syrian-Israeli clash may
develop despite of orts to head it offJ
LThe immediate issue is a disagreement over sal-
vaging the Israeli patrol boat and the Syrian MIG- 17
involved in the clash over Lake Tiberias on 15 August.
Although both the boat and the plane lie in waters under
Israeli control, Syria last week threatened military
action if Israel attempted to salvage the boat without
allowing Syria to retrieve the plane. Nevertheless,
the Israelis began "salvage type" operations on 21 Au-
25X1 gust, (See Map
Syrian military forces were earlier reported to
have been substantially reinforced on the Israeli border
in the last few days, and Israeli aircraft have been
placed on alert
LUN officials have tried to deter the Syrians from
any military action, Yesterday, Syrian Foreign Min-
ister Makhus reiterated that Syria would retaliate with
"full force" against any further aggression regardless
of the consequences. His statement might be a pre-
lude to military action, but. his language opens the pos-
sibility, at least that the Syrians may let the immedi-
25X1 ate crisis pass.

Brazil. Conservative leader Carlos Lacerda has
called for unified opposition to President Castello
Branco's regime.
In two published letters Lacerda, a volatile leader
of the 1964 revolution, warned that if the revolution
were not "renovated, 11 Communism would be its even-
tual successor. He dismissed hope for improvement
under retired Marshal Costa e Silva, who as the gov-
ernment's candidate is expected to be elected presi-
dent on 3 October. Lacerda previously had refrained
from attacking Costa e Silva, hoping perhaps to come
to terms with him after the election.
Lacerda's new attacks come when the government
is already under fire from almost all political and
economic sectors. He may sense that the time is right
for an attempt to establish his qualifications for leading
the growing but amorphous opposition to the present re-
gime. Lacerda may believe he can precipitate a crisis
by forcing the government to make a martyr of him.

Branco concurred in his response. This is the farthest

UK-Rhodesia, [British and Rhodesian officials have
resumed talks in Salisbury with scant prospects for an
early solution. London is reported to be willing to rec-
ognize the independence of a white minority government
in Salisbury if Rhodesia will temporarily return to
nominal British rule and will guarantee African rights
and electoral progress, Salisbury, however, has not
been willing to meet these demands and the British
Government seems determined to continue economic
sanctions in the hope that the Rhodesians' resolve will
eventually weaken, 11
Brazil-USSR, Brazil has rebuffed a pro forma
Soviet demarche seeking support for the USSR's policy
on Vietnam. Foreign Minister Magalhaes informed
the US Embassy that when the Soviet ambassador
warned him that the war could escalate into a world
conflict, he replied that in that event Brazil could be
counted on to take an, active part on the US side. The
foreign minister also stated that President Castello
