DAILY BRIEF
5 MARCH 1966
1. Indonesia
The students continue to demon-
strate in defiance of Sukarno. One
group has barricaded itself in the uni-
versity, which Sukarno closed down
the other day. Many students are said
to feel that the future of the country
lies in their hands.

3. Ghana
Nkrumah told a US official in
Conakry yesterday that he plans to
leave for Cairo shortly to join his
family. Beyond that, the deposed
leader said, he has no plans although
he does intend to write President
Johnson. The official comments that
Nkrumah's moderate language and re-
signed attitude indicate he accepts the
coup back home as an accomplished fact.

The leaky oil embargo will virtually_
collapse if, as rumored, two oil tankers
arrive at the port of Beira in Mozambique
this weekend. British officials in the
area are now hoping that measures taken
to reduce Rhodesian tobacco exports will
have the desired effect on the Smith
regime.
6. Congo
7. Soviet Union
/former premier Tshombe will
return from Belgium next week to at-
tend the opening of parliament. The
government radio today issued a blast
against him, probably designed to en-
courage him to stay in Brussels. If
he does return, he will add yet another
unsettling factor to an already un-
settled situation.

There are tenuous signs that a rift 50X1
could be developing within the Albanian
leadership, which up to now has dis-
played a high degree of unity.
