*Vietnam: (Information as of 4:30 AM EST)
The Military Situation in South Vietnam: Com-
munist efforts to disrupt the government's pacifica-
tion program continue to intensify at a rapid pace.
Nearly 200 enemy attacks against Revolutionary
Development (RD) teams have been reported during the
first quarter of 1967. Of these, 105 occurred during
the period 1-26 March,

captured documents, and prisoner and de-
________
fector interrogations-- have stressed the importance to
the Viet Cong of combating the RD program. In their
counter effort, the Communists have not only stepped
up their direct attacks on the teams, but have also
increased their propaganda efforts and attempts to in-
timidate local leaders in areas already pacified.
Shipping to North Vietnam: A preliminary review
of Soviet shipping to North Vietnam during the first three
months of 1967 shows increased deliveries of commer-
cial cargoes to support the North Vietnamese war effort.
A total of 65,000 tons of petroleum, representing
a 25 percent increase over the rate of 1966 shipments,
is included in the nearly 220,000 tons of cargo carried
thus far this year by Soviet ships. Part of the over-
all increase results from the rising requirements for
foodstuffs. Some 36,000 tons of grain and grain prod-
ucts have been delivered this year in comparison with
only 6,000 tons in all of 1966.
Shipments on Chinese Communist and East Euro-
pean ships, which account for a relatively small por-
tion of total Communist deliveries, have also risen.

Nigeria: Eastern Governor Ojukwu's edict of
31 March on regional control of revenue collection
is provoking countermeasures by the federal govern-
ment.
The edict requires federal revenue collectors in
the East to pass all payments directly to the Eastern
government rather than to the federal account. It
does not, however, alter the existing formula for allo-
cating revenues among the regions and the central gov-
ernment. Moreover, the limitation of the edict to
revenues collected in the East excludes the important
oil revenues, most of which are paid in London to the
federal account.
Supreme Commander Gowon has blasted the
Eastern edict as "unconstitutional. " The federal
government is apparently directing private companies
which now pay fees and taxes to Eastern offices of
various federal authorities to make their payments
in Lagos. Federal economic advisers are also con-
sidering the stoppage of salary payments to the police,
army, and other federally financed agencies in the
East.
There is little likelihood, however, that military
governors of the other regions would support really
forceful measures against Ojukwu.

Chile: President Frei received a setback in
Sunday's municipal elections.
Frei had campaigned personally for Christian
Democratic (PDC) candidates, and had asked for a
vote of confidence in his administration. The PDC,
however, got only about 36 percent of the total vote,
considerably less than the 42 percent it won in the gen-
eral elections in 1965. The center-left Radical Party
(PR) and the conservative National Party (PN) re-
ceived 16 percent and 14 percent respectively, stronger
showings than anticipated by most observers. The
Communist- Socialist Popular Action Front received
nearly 30 percent of the vote, as expected. The Com-
munist total was slightly higher than that of the more
activist Socialist Party, but the Communists missed
their target of becoming the number two party.
The US country team believes that the vote indi-
cates a shift to the left, as well as distaste for Frei's
break with the tradition that a Chilean president stay
clear of direct involvement in political campaigns.
The success of the PN and PR is partly a result of
their traditional strength on the local level.
Personalities and circumstances in each munici-
pality probably had a significant effect on the voters.
Although the vote cannot be considered a repudiation
of Frei's administration, many people who have been
hurt economically by his reforms apparently chose
this means to protest.

Frei's position at the inter-American summit
meeting this month will be weakened, In Chile he
will be forced to compromise with other parties
enact his reforms. F77 I 25X1

NOTES
Greece: National Radical Union leader Kanel-
lopoulos, whose cabinet was sworn in last night,
will seek a parliamentary vote of confidence next
week. Present prospects for approval of his strongly
right-wing cabinet appear slim. The King has
authorized Kanellopoulos to dissolve Parliament if
necessary and prepare for elections within 45 days.
Center Union leader George Papandreou, who is in-
sisting that the elections be carried out by an "im-
partial" premier, will strongly oppose this action.
