USSR - Latin America-Moscow is seeking in-
creased participation in the 1TJN's Economic Commis-
sion for Latin America. The commission is influen-
tial in the economic planning activities of a number of
Latin American countries. Its secretariat in Santiago
includes some notably anti-US personnel.
The Soviets, who have been making steady progress
in gaining official and public acceptance in Chile, re-
portedly were told recently they could increase their
diplomatic staff there from 25 to 30,
Guatemala: Security forces have reportedly made
several hundred arrests in Guatemala City in an effort
to find the Communist terrorists responsible for the
murder of two Americans on 16 January. The capital
has been relatively quiet for the past two days. In
spite of strong security precautions the city remains
tense, and Communist or right-wing extremists could
carry out further assassinations at any time.

*Colombia- USSR., Bogota has re- established re-
lations with the Soviet Union, probably in an effort
to broaden the market for Colombian exports. This
step has been under negotiation for some months.
The renewal of relations, which were broken in 1948,
has been a prime objective of the Communist Party
of Colombia. Its secretary general earlier this
month told a party plenum that this would "benefit
the revolution." The USSR now has diplomatic re-
lations with six Latin American countries in addi-
tion to Cuba,
Yugoslavia. Tito has taken another move to re-
store discipline in the faction-ridden Serbian Com-
munist organization by putting one of his old cronies,
Yugoslav party presidium member Petar Stambolic,
in charge. This action comes less than a week after
the announcement that another presidium member and
long-time Tito associate, Veljko Vlahovic, is to take
over the Belgrade city party organization. Stambolic's
predecessor probably had to give way because of his
failure to get a firm grip on the Serbian Communists,
who have been growing more and more nationalistic.
