His opponent, Liberal Party Senator Osmena, does not seem to have devel- oped the last-minute head of steam most observers thought was necessary for him to overtake Marcos. The separately contested vice presidential race, on the other hand, is rated a toss-up. Vice President Lopez, the candidate of Marcos' Nacion- alista Party, has projected considerable appeal as an honest and self-effacing man. The opposition candidate, Senator Magsaysay, has traded to good effect on the fact that he is the younger brother ?of the late and still much revered President Ramon Magsaysay. As the incumbent, Marcos has exploited his control of government organizations to the fullest in his pursuit of a second term. 2 FOR THE PRESIDENT ONLY Declassified in Part - Sanitized Copy Approved for Release 2016/04/27 : CIA-RDP79T00936A007700070001-5 Declassified in Part - Sanitized Copy Approved for Release 2016/04/27 : CIA-RDP79T00936A007700070001-5 FOR THE PRESIDENT ONLY NOTE South Vietnam: Communist shellings and attacks fell off considerably overnight.
