7. NOTES:
A. UN: THE SOVIETS, WITH A SHOWDOWN ON ARTICLE 19
FAST APPROACHING,ARE MANEUVERING IN SEVERAL DIRECTIONS. THEY
PROPOSE A SMALL INFORMAL COMMITTEE INCLUDING U THANT, STEVEN?
SON, AND FEDERENKO BE SET UP TO STUDY THE FINANCIAL PROBLEM
AT THE UN AND REPORT BEFORE THE END OF THIS ASSEMBLY OR BE?
GINNING OF THE NEXT. UN OFFICIALS THINK IT APPARENT THAT
SOME SORT OF POSTPONEMENT OF THE SESSION IS IN THE AIR, AND
THAT THE SOVIETS BELIEVE THEY CAN WIN A DELAY,
B. SUDAN: THE NEW GOVERNMENT HAS PUT RESTRICTIONS ON
OVERFLIGHTS OF SUDAN. THIS MAINLY AFFECTS BRITISH MILITARY
FLIGHTS TO ADEN AND THE FAR EAST.
C. INDIA: THE STATE OF KERALA MAY WELL GO COMMUNIST
AGAIN WHEN STATE ELECTIONS ARE HELD IN FEBRUARY, THE TWO
COMMUNIST PARTIES OPERATING THERE SEEM TO BE MOVING TOWARD AN
ELECTORAL ALLIANCE AND FOOD SHORTAGES PLUS GENERAL INEPTNESS
IN THE LOCAL CONGRESS PARTY HAVE HELPED THEIR CAUSE, A COM?
MUNIST VICTORY WOULD BE A CONSIDERABLE BLOW TO SHASTR1.

PROBE, IS IN THE OFFING. (

E. USSR:
F. ITALY: NENNI, WHOSE SOCIALISTS ARE SMARTING UNDER
THEIR LARGE ELECTORAL LOSSES,WILL NOT HAVE AN EASY TIME BE?
TWEEN NOW AND HIS PARTY'S CONGRESS IN FEBRUARY OR MARCH. HE
WILL HAVE TO EXTRACT SOME FAIRLY MEANINGFUL REFORM MOVES FROM
MORO IN THE INTERIM IF HE IS TO STAVE OFF PARTY PRESSURES FOR
WITHDRAWAL FROM THE CENTER?LEFT COALITION. THE ALWAYS PRE?
CARIOUS APPLECART COULD ALSO BE UPSET IF AN EARLY PARLIA?
MENTARY VOTE IS CALLED ON A SUCCESSOR 'TO, AILING PRESIDENT
SEGNI.
G. PANAMA: THOUGH THE ROBLES GOVERNMENT HAS WON A
VOTE OF CONFIDENCE FROM THE ASSEMBLY FOR ITS HANDLING OF
THE CANAL NEGOTIATIONS, THE COMMUNISTS PLAN MORE DEMONSTRA?
TIONS TODAY. THEY ARE STILL IN CONTACT WITH LEFTIST LABOR
LEADERS IN AN EFFORT TO MOUNT A GENERAL STRIKE.
H. BRITISH GUIANA: THE 7 DECEMBER VOTE IS EXPECTED
TO BE CLOSE.
JAGAN'S PARTY WILL PROBABLY GET A PLURALITY BUT NOT A
MAJORITY UNDER THE NEW PROPORTIONAL REPRESENTATION SYSTEM.
THE PROSPECTIVE ANTI?JAGAN COALITION PARTNERS ARE ALREADY
FALLING OUT.
