1. Congo
a. With the government advance
on Stanleyville about to begin, the
rebels are making last-ditch efforts
to get assistance from sympathetic
states.
b. They have apparently been
promised limited amounts of mili-
tary hardware but are aware they
are in deep trouble.
c. There are more indications
of disarray within the rebel leader ship .-
-
Gbenye and the military are
at odds and that Soumialot may as-
sume the "presidency."
d. We think the rebel position
could be salvaged only by outside
military intervention, which at
this time appears highly unlikely.
e. The fate of Dr. Paul
Carlson is still unclear.)

f. The airlift of the Bel-
gian paratroopers to Ascension Is-
land is under way. Despite elabo-
rate government precautions to con-
ceal the purpose of the move, a
Brussels paper yesterday leaked
the story. Thus far we have seen
no reaction to the leak from
fly nuarter

2. Brazil
a. Federal intervention in
the state of Goias is a growing
possibility.
b. Brasilia's threat to ar-
rest state governor Borges on sub-
version charges is keeping tensions
high. Federal troops have moved
into Goias, and Borges appears to
have mobilized local police. He
is also reported to have issued
arms to civilian supporters.
c. A Brazilian Supreme Court
ruling is expected soon on Borges'
petition for legal protection
against arrest. If granted, "hard-
line" military elements might press
the government to intervene. If
rejected, Borges might resort to
force in self-defense.

3. Italy
d. Serious bloodshed seems
unlikely, but scattered violence
could occur in Goias. Interven-
tion would exacerbate political
strains in the federal government
already aggravated over the Borges
case.
a. Considering the hurdles
the year-old center-left govern-
ment faces in the next two months,
it is problematic whether the co-
alition can get over them all.
b. Nationwide municipal
elections early next week pose a
critical test for the coalition.
If the Socialist Party loses con-
siderable electoral support, pres-
sures will mount in the party to
pull out.
c. Even if the coalition par-
ties do fairly well in the elec-
tions, other problems coming up in
December and January may lead to a
cabinet crisis. A split could come
over the matter of a successor to
President Segni, over Christian
Democrat and Socialist party reor-
ganizations, over economic issues,
or over the MLF question.

NOTES
B. Turkey General Staff Chief Sunay has openly
warned that the high command "cannot remain in-
different to abuses and belittling remarks"
against the army. He may have done this to
serve notice on the opposition Justice Party
that its choice of a new leader next week must
be acceptable to the army. The new leader
could become the next prime minister.
C.
Yemen The 8 November cease-fire is still not
wholly effective. Yemeni republican forces along
the northern border have been besieged by
royalist tribesmen for the past two weeks.
Preparations are under way for the
next royalist-republican armistice meeting on
Monday.
