6. UAR
there is still
much bickering among the generals, but
that the civil government's relations
with them are improving, the
generals and Khanh have accepted Ambas-
sador Taylor's suggestion of talks on
the situation. This seems promising,
but on the other hand the generals are
still detaining several members of the
High Council.
The extreme left, knocked off bal-
ance by the recent US declaration On the
Canal question, is seeking to regain the
initiative by supporting a rising ultra-
nationalist demand for "neutralization."
By this they mean withdrawal of US 'mili-
tary forces from Panama. The Robles
government, although pleased by the US
stand, apparently thinks it politically
unwise to publicly repudiate this de-
mand.
Tension is running high between
rival rightist factions in Vientiane,
and an attempt to take over the govern-
ment could be triggered. The presence
of the King may, however, help calm
matters. Along routes 12 and 23 in the
south-central part of the country, ?there
are further indications of sizable Com-
munist troop reinforcements. (See map.)
Nasir is apparently the source of
a rumor in Cairo that the Soviets have
promised to increase their economic aid
to the UAR if US aid diminishes. If
this is more than talk intended for US
ears, Nasir may still find the Soviets
readier with promises than with food
grains and hard currency.
