A Filipino congressman arrived in
Saigon yesterday with word that Presi-
dent Marcos intends to visit South Viet-
nam "very shortly." Marcos is still
publicly denying such plans, but rumors
of his impending visit are already spread-
ing in Saigon. Such a trip now would be
consistent with Marcos' energetic efforts
to follow up on the Manila conference.
The antiregime demonstrations in
west Jordan today resulted in some
violence, but the day passed without
the serious trouble that had been feared.
Israeli fighter planes clashed with
Egyptian MIG-19s near the border and at
least one of the Egyptian planes was
downed. Israel has publicly claimed to
?have knocked out two MIGs, but Egypt has
been mum about the whole affair.
Another delay has come to the army's
drive to implicate Sukarno in last year's
pro-Communist coup effort. The trial of
former air force leader Dani has been
postponed again. The postponement is at-
tributed to the judge's illness. We sus-
pect, however, that the cautious General
Suharto may again be temporizing with
Sukarno.

A bad government has been replaced
by a worse one. Yesterday's coup seems
to have been the work of extremists who
have long favored re-establishment of
relations with Communist China. The new
leaders will probably go slowly, however.
They are inexperienced and probably
anxious to avoid offending Belgium, on
whose support the country depends.
President-elect Costa e Silva plans
to pass through the US sometime in Janu-
ary during the extensive world trip he
is planning. Last week he gently
needled the US defense attach?n the
fact that the US, unlike other countries,
had not yet issued him an invitation.

?The voters have approved a return
to presidential government, but the
president-elect may not have what it
will take to pull his country out of
the doldrums.
The 65-year-old Oscar Gestido,
who will have to wait until next March
to begin his five-year term, owes his
victory to a well-oiled political ma-
chine. Neither particularly dynamic
nor imaginative, Gestido is probably ,a
good deal more honest than the politi-
cal faction which helped elect him and
with which he must share the spoils of
victory.
As expected, the Communists'po-
litical front gained significantly.
It now.seems that it may double its
small representation in Congress.
