Congo (Kinshasa): Schramme's mercenaries may
be allowed to return to their home countries, but they
apparently will not be leaving Rwanda soon.
The OAU commission which met over the weekend
in Kinshasa voted to permit the mercenaries repatria-
tion. Its resolution, however, demands indemnification
of the Congolese Government for the damage they have
caused, and insists on ironclad guarantees that they
will not be allowed to return to Africa. These condi-
tions will probably be rejected by the mercenaries'
home countries, and a period of extensive haggling
seems likely to ensue.
Schramme's Katangan troops were not mentioned
in the commission's resolution and presumably can be
sent to Zambia as soon as Kinshasa and Lusaka work
out the details.

NOTES
Indonesia: A seasonal rice shortage and a conse-
quent price spiral may create a major political problem
for the Suharto regime. Although imports will partially
relieve the shortage, the scarcity--aggravated by specu-
lation and poor distribution facilities--will persist until
the next harvest in late March. Acting President Suharto
effectively blunted last week's demonstrations by youth
groups which protested high prices and corrupt officials
but continuing: political pressures seem likely.

Greece-Turkey: The Greek Air Force is on alert
as a result of a number of alleged violations of Greek
air space by Turkish aircraft since 4 November. An-
kara has rejected a Greek protest over the incidents,
and has lodged a counter-protest with Athens over an
alleged. violation of Turkish airspace by Greek planes
on 10 November. The Turks maintain that their flights
are for "training" purposes over international waters,
that they will continue, and that the Greek reaction is
unwarranted. Ankara's motives in the affair are not
clear, but its hard-nosed attitude and the Greek re-
sponse are symptomatic of the continuing frustration
over
Panama: The presidential race appears to be
wide open again. The Electoral Tribunal reportedly
has ruled, on the basis of an obscure point of law, that
National Guard Commandant Bolivar Vallarino--a pos-
sible compromise candidate--need not resign on 12 No-
vember to be eligible.
