Nigeria: The ruling Supreme Military Council
(SMC) is to meet today in Benin City to discuss basic
constitutional arrangements, but Eastern Governor
Ojukwu's attendance remains doubtful.
A representative of Ghana's General Ankrah, who
hosted the last SMC meeting, has been trying to per-
suade Ojukwu to go to the Benin meeting. The main
item on the agenda is the question of greater Eastern
autonomy. However, the recently increased tensions
between Supreme Commander Gowon and Ojukwu make
it unlikely that Ojukwu will attend. The Ghanaians
have also suggested another Gowon-Ojukwu meeting
in Ghana, which Ojukwu may find more acceptable.
The federal government reportedly is planning a
series of economic measures designed to "strangle"
the East if Ojukwu continues to move toward autonomy.
Gowon probably is considering military action as a
last resort]
Although Ojukwu still hopes a peaceful solution
can be found, the East is gearing up for an early at-
tack by federal forces. Ojukwu reportedly has made
a deal with certain top Yoruba leaders from the West-
ern Region who have become disenchanted with Gowon.
The Yorubas have long resented the presence in their
land of the predominantly Northern army and may be
planning some sort of military action to rid them-
selves of the Northerners.

*Indonesia: [The army has apparently moved against
an armed, pro-Sukarno band in central Java as part of
its general effort to guarantee security while the con-
gress debates Sukarno's future. The rebel leader, a
prominent mystic, and 80 of his followers reportedly
were killed in a clash with army paracommando units
on 5 March. The army took action when the leader re-
