West Germany: Chancellor Erhard may request a
reduction in future military offset payments during his
visit to Washington on 26-27 September.
State Secretary Carstens, Foreign Minister
Schroeder's deputy, has told Ambassador McGhee that
Bonn is considering such a plan. Germany currently is
obligated to pay $1.35 billion over a two-year period
ending in mid-1967.
Carstens also said that the Defense Ministry might
propose sending larger numbers of military personnel to
the US for training, with costs applied against the offset.

India: Prime Minister Gandhi is under increasing
pressure to broaden the base of her government.
Mrs. Gandhi's ranking administrative aide, L. K.
Jha, recently told Ambassador Bowles that virulent op-
position attacks have deepened divisions within the ruling
Congress Party and that three major factions are emerg-
ing. They center on Mrs. Gandhi, party president
Kamaraj, and former finance minister Morarji Desai.
Jha believes that within the next 60 days two of these
groups will unite against 'the third in order to dominate
the party in its campaign for the general elections
scheduled for February 1967.
Although Jha's analysis seems oversimplified--
most party leaders appear to be avoiding entanglements
and awaiting further developments-- significant party re-
alignments are likely. Mrs. Gandhi, who has only a
limited number of firmly committed backers, may be
compelled to make cabinet changes to broaden support
for her government.
Desai told Ambassador Bowles on 26 August that
there was at least an even chance of a cabinet shuffle
before mid-November. He expressed willingness to
join the government if offered the second-ranking posi-
tion and claimed that influential Defense Minister Chavan
is pressing for a Gandhi-Desai rapprochement. Never-
theless, Mrs. Gandhi, who defeated Desai in the contest
last January for the premiership, has not yet offered
him a post, and Ambassador Bowles doubts that she
will do so.

NOTES
Colombia: Leftist. students are threatening a na-
tionwide strike in protest against recent government
moves to curb student excesses. The student leaders
have committed their prestige to challenging the govern-
ment's measures and would find it difficult to back away
from the threatened strike. President Lleras seems
determined not to yield to student demands and to use
the situation to establish his new government's authority.
He can be expected to deal severely with any threat to
,public order posed by a strike.
*Jordan: Cairo may be trying to embroil Jordan in a
clash with Israel during King Husayn's current absence
from the country. Crown Prince Hassan has informed the
US Ambassador in Amman that the Egyptian-dominated
United Arab Command wants Jordan to invade Israel in ac-
cordance with prearranged Arab plans because of alleged
reports that Israel is massing troops for a strike against
Syria. The absence of any corroborating evidence of such
Israeli troop deployments suggests that Cairo hopes to em-
barrass Husayn either through a probable defeat at the
hands of the Israelis or, if Jordan fails. to act, by charging
he is derelict in his duty as an Arab ruler
