*Dominican Republic: A serious firelight between
ex-rebels,, including Francisco Caamano, Deno, and
regular Dominican military forces broke out in Santi-
ago yesterday.
The cause of the skirmish,, which occurred during
a rebel visit to the city, is obscure, but both sides ap-
peared to be ready for a battle. After an initial exchange
of fire Dominican Air Force troops surrounded the rebels
in a hotel and subjected them to heavy fires Rebel losses
were reportedly 12 dead, including former r bel chief of
staff Juan Lora Fernandez, and six wounded;. the Air Force
admitted to "over" ten dead and sixwounded? US citizens
staying at the hotel were apparently briefly used as hos-.
tages by the rebels, but none were harmed
A company of US troops, acting as part of the Inter-
American Peace Force (IAPF), was dispatched to the city
and aided US consular officials in implementing a cease-
fire. Some 35 rebels were evacuated by IAPF helicopters
to Santo Domingo--the remaining rebels, including
Caamano, are slated to be flown to the capital as weather
clears this morning.
In.Santo Domingo armed mobs,, encouraged by leftist
agitators, quickly took to the streets in..a repetition of the
turbulence that swept the capital on 16-17 December. How-
ever,, a strong show of force by Dominican police and mili-
tary forces,., backed by.IAPF patrols,- dispersed the crowds..
Left wing leaders, including supporters of Juan Bosch,
rapidly renewed demands that President Garcia Godoy sack
the top. military leadership and threatened a general strike
today if their demands were not met. Such a strike would
jeopardize the government's chances of consolidating its
victory in last week's Christmas bonus strike:,.
Top military leaders once again supported the presi-
dent, but Air Force chief Juan de los Santos' orders de-
manding the total capitulation of the rebels involved in the
Santiago incident may put him in a precarious position.

Zambia-UK-Rhodesia: the US ambassador in
Zambia believes Britain's announcement of an oil
embargo against Rhodesia presents a serious threat
to Zambia's. stability.]
According to the ambassador, the "desperate
nature of the UK's quick-kill policy" against Rhodesia
led London to announce the embargo before adequate
preparation had been made for an airlift of petroleum
to Zambia. Rhodesia already had cut off petroleum
supplies to Zambia, and Zambia has had to impose
gasoline rationing. On 19 December the Rhodesian
Government sharply increased taxes on coal and coke
exported to Zambia.)
These measures may encourage the "already
skittish" European population to leave Zambia in
sufficient numbers to cripple the economy, The am-
bassador and key British officials agree that there is
"no more than a fifty-fifty chance" of maintaining sta-
bility in Zambia.
Zambia's President Kaunda apparently has been
encouraged by some British officials to expect a
"Berlin-type" airlift of supplies other than petroleum?
which would enable his country to join in economic
sanctions against Rhodesia. Kaunda has indicated to
the US ambassador that he believes this is impossible
without US assistance and he has probably instructed
the mission he is sending to Washington to press hard
for assurances that the US will meet critical Zambian
needs.

Indonesia's basic intentions toward Singapore and
Malaysia remain unclear. There are obvious economic
and political advantages to be realized from the restora-
tion of normal relations. It is possible, however, that
the army leaders intend replacing confrontation with a
policy of exploiting tensions between Singapore and
Malaysia and within the Federation of Malaysia itself.]
~rmy leaders apparently are also hopeful of re-
establishing a sound relationship with the United States.
There are indications that the army is not inclined to
proceed at this critical juncture with earlier plans to

NOTES
Dahomey: (According to army chief Soglo, the
army intends to take over the Congacou government
this week and to hold power indefinitely. It has no
plans for holding elections or for installing a civilian
government. The French, who could prevent a mili-
tary takeover, are apparently making no effort to do
so. Since Soglo may be unable to retain leadership,
an army coup of this nature increases the possibility
that direction may be assumed by arm commandant
Alley in concert with leftist elements.
