DAILY BRIEF
I. THE COMMUNIST BLOC
USSR: ..oviet workers have recently protested wage
reductions resulting from the shortened workday by stag-
ing meetings and slowdownJ In addition, the reported out-
break of worker disturbances in Kazakhstan last October
has recently been confirmed. /hese protests are isolated
but signify an emboldened worker attitude that contributes
to pressure on the regime to improve 1ivin standard_fg.

USSR: A Soviet lecturer, speaking before an elite Mos-
cow audience on 16 March on recent developments in Asian
and African Communist parties, singled out only Guinea and
Sekou Tour d for unqualified praise. He criticized other na-
tionalist leaders, including Nehru, Sukarno, U Nu, Nasir,
Abboud, and Qasim. The speaker's remarks probably reflect
a feeling among Soviet policy makers that the Communist bloc's
economic and military assistance programs have produced
fewer political dividends than expected.

II. ASIA-AFRICA
Indonesia: Recent violent incidents apparently reflect
growing frustration and dissatisfaction with Djakarta's polit-
ical and economic policies. The incidents include a mutiny on
13 March at the police training center in East Java, an abor-
five attack�reportedly including army personnel--against the
army cavalry training center in West Java on 19 March, and
the 9 March strafing of the President's palace in Djakarta.

South Korea - Japan: The crisis in relations between Seoul
and Tokyo which developed recently over the seizure of Japanese
C fishermen has been eased by Seoul's agreement to exchange by
the end of March 167 Japanese fishermen for approximately 1,000
Koreans detained in Japan for illegal entry. Even if this matter is
settled satisfactorily, serious differences will remain at issue be-
tween the two countries. (Page 5)
