9(4- *Poland: &rkers from four key industrial establish-
ments in Poznan--despite threats of punitive actions by the
regime--have met informally to decide on a possible coordi-
nated protest if the wage cuts resulting from the higher work
norms continue through the 10 March pay day. The workers
now appear to be better organized than for the apparently
spontaneous strike on 19 and 20 February at the Poznan rail-
way repair shops and railway yards, which was readily brought
under control by regime threats to blacklist striking workers.
The Warsaw regime has already laid off a number of industrial
wOrkers to cut production costs and is using the threat of un-

In connection with this program Saigon
instructed its legation in Kuala Lumpur to obtain de-
tailed information on all aspects of Malaya's anti-terrorist cam-
paign as a follow-up to briefings given President Diem during
his visit to Malaya last month. A request is also to be made
through the Malayan Government for British experts in jungle
warfare to be sent to South Vietnam as instructors.

not foreshadow imminent military operations. Nasution said
that the struggle to reclaim West Irian would be intensified
and that it would be waged on all fronts�political, economic,
and military. Nasution undoubtedly hopes to keep the army in
the forefront of the politically significant West Irian campaign,
which has been consistently exploited by President Sukarno and
the Communist party and which received the sirnn�rt of oviet
Premier Khrushchev during his recent visit. (Page 2)

III. THE WEST
Italy: While the process of forming a new government is
still in the initial stages''
party strategy is to try first a center coalition with the Lib-
erals, Democratic Socialists, and Republicans--which the Demo-
cratic Socialists are unlikely to join. The Christian Democrats
will then attempt a more likely solution, a left-center coalition
omitting the Liberals. Such a government could muster a I theo-
,L retical parliamentary majority with the adherence of minor cen-
ter groups, but would depend on Nenni Socialist abstention for
an effective working majority. The Christian Democrats claim
that Segni as premier of such a government would reassure the
right. (Page 4)

IL ASIA-AFRICA
South Vietnam Moves to Combat Communi
rrorism
LThe Diem government is planning more intensive training in
guerrilla and counterguerrilla tactics for its armed forces to meet
recently stepped-up Communist terrorism in South Vietnam, Pres-
ident Diem and other officials are seriously concerned with the
deterioration in the security situation, and feel that prompt and
vigorous countermeasures are required.]
bans for the formation of a well trained and equipped 10- to
20,000-man "commando" force apparently are being hastily im-
plemented, even though organizational details are still hazy.
These commandos�volunteers from the army, reserves, and the
civil guard--would be assigned to anti-guerrilla operations under
the command of military region commanders after an intensive
three-month training period conducted by the army. South Viet-
nam has urgently requested that American special force personnel
be sent to assist in this program
filie Diem government, meanwhiles, has informed the Interna-
tional Control Commission (ICC) in Vietnam that it has requested
the United States to increase its present MAAG personnel ceiling
of 342 to 685 to accelerate defensive training of the Vietnamese
military in the face of recrudescent Communist terrorism.')
/South Vietnam is also interested in benefiting from Malaya's ex-
periences in combating Communist terrorism. Saigon has instructed
its legation in Kuala Lumpur to obtain detailed information on all as-
pects of the anti-terrorist campaign as a follow-up to briefings
given Diem during his 15-19 February visit to Malaya. This is to
include information on Malaya's regroupment of rural population to
isolate the terrorists, a program which South Vietnam now is un-
dertaking in the troubled southwestern provinces,
the legation is also to request that British
experts in juifle warfare be sent from Malaya to South Vietnam as
instructorsj

Renewed emphasis on Indonesia's claim to West Irian
(Netherlands New Guinea) probably is indicated by state-
ments to parliament on 27 February by Army Chief of Staff
and Security Minister General Nasution. Nasution reported-
ly stated that the struggle to "reclaim" West Irian would be
intensified, that it must be waged on all fronts--economic,
political, and military�and that it must be carried on both
within West Irian and outside its borders. He said that the
West Irian issue affected all of Indonesia's domestic and
foreign policies and would continue to do so as long as the
territory was not returned to Indonesia. The army's press
spokesman, however, has denied press reports that Nasu-
tion said the nation should be prepared to undertake a war
in behalf of its claim.
During the same parliamentary debate, Foreign Minis-
ter Subandrio refused to say whether or not Indonesia would
raise the Irian question at the next session of the UN General
Assembly, claiming it would be a "tactical error" to reveal
future actions at this time., LS.iibandrio told the Thai foreign
minister a few weeks ago that Indonesia was very anxious
to settle the vVest Irian question with the Netherlands, and
that if this could be done adjustments would be made regard-
ing Dutch economic claims in Indonesia]
Both Subandrio and President Sukarno have stated pub-
licly during the past year that Indonesia will not resort to
force to achieve its claim. Indonesian officials, particular-
ly President Sukarno and air force leaders, undoubtedly feel
that the nation's military build-up is strengthening its interna-
tional stature and will assist in bringing pressure to bear on
the Netherlands. Indonesian paramilitary groups reportedly
continue to infiltrate West Irian in an effort to stimulate the
local population against the Dutch administration.
The West Irian claim was de-emphasized in 1958 and
1959, and anti-Dutch measures in Indonesia itself were sub-
stituted. National pride and political necessity now may
dictate renewed emphasis. Nasution undoubtedly hopes to
keep the army in the forefront of leadership for the politi-
cally significant West Irian campaign, which has been con-
sistently exploited by President Sukarno and the Communist
party and which was supported by Soviet Premier Khrushchev
during his recent visit.

Now'
Kenya Africans Maintain Pressure for New Concessions
atatements by African delegates on their return to Kenya
from constitutional talks in London have been provocative in
tone and reflect intent to continue pressure for full independ-
ence. African leader Tom Mboya has characterized the com-
promise agreed to in London as only an interim measure, to
be followed swiftly by full independence. The London agree-
ments provided for legislative elections later this year under
a greatly enlarged African franchise which is expected to re-
sult in a legislature with an African majority
CA_speech on 27 February by Mboya--in which he advised
moderate as well as rightist Europeans to accept an African-
dominated "democracy" in Kenya or get out--was followed by
disorders between African nationalists and police. A second
African spokesman emphasized in a press conference that Afri-
can delegates had not committed themselves to the preservation
of the White Highlands, a rich farming area which remains a
European preserve despite action late in 1959 to legalize Afri-
can ho1ding9
/he prospect of increased African participation in government,
unabated African demands for full independence; and continuing
pressure on the White Highlands will prompt some Europeans to
leave Kenya and may lead others to consider extralegal means of
combatting the African "threat)

III. THE WEST
Italian Cabinet Negotiations
the Christian Democratic party directorate
and tormer Premiers Fanfani and Segni have agreed on party
strategy in the search for a new Italian cabinet. They would first
try to form a centrist quadripartite cabinet of Christian Demo-
crats, Democratic Socialists, Liberals, and Republicans. Fan-
fani would be proposed to head it in an effort to encourage the
participation of the Democratic Socialists and Republicans.
In view of Democratic Socialist leader Saragat's repeated in-
sistence that he would participate only in a center-left govern-
ment, the Christian Democrats would next try a tripartite coali-
tion without the Liberals. The 273 Christian Democratic, 17
Democratic Socialist, and six Republican deputies would need
three additional votes for a parliamentary majority. These would
probably be found among the six representatives of minor groups,
but primarily such a government would depend for survival on
abstention by the Nenni Socialists.
The Christian Democrats claim that Segni would be the most
appropriate choice to head such a coalition, in order to give the
Church and the Christian Democratic Right some assurance that
Christian Democratic unity or basic policies would not be endan-
gered. They say Fanfani or Segni would take the Foreign Minis-
try if the other became premier. Participation in the government
by all Christian Democratic factions would be assured by distribut-
ing the other major posts to party notables such as Scelba and Pella.
In addition to these men, Segni"s Justice Minister Gonella and more
particularly Piccioni, head of the Christian Democratic senators,
have been mentioned previously as possible heads of a center-left
government depending on Nenni Socialist abstention.
