Poland amends Rapacki plan: Polish Foreign Minister
Rapacki has added a proposal for a general ground and. air
control system with "adequate" control posts to his plan
for a nuclear-free zone in Central Europe. He also sug-
ests that the nations concerned might assume their obli-
ations under the plan by making unilateral declarations--a
easure designed to meet West German objections to deal-
ng with East Germany. These amendments appear to be
part of an effort to make the plan more palatable for discus-
ion by Western governments.

Indonesia: The military commander in North Celebes

with Djakarta. Although the distance between the two rebel
groups is too great for.. effective cooperation, the defection
of North Celebes may encourage other wavering areas, such
as Borneo, to take similar action. The military commander
in North Sumatra, however, has declared his continuing
loyalty to the central government, Djakarta has called for
the arrest of six rebel civilian leaders in Sumatra. There

Okinawa: The newly formed Okinawan Socialist party,
headed leftist l] ftist Naha mayor Saichi Kaneshi, aims to at-
tract members from the extreme left and from middle-of-

enjoy considerable success and will further weaken the con-
servativest chances in legislative elections on 16 March.

The Polish Inspection Proposal
In a memorandum on 14 February to the governments
of the US,' Britain,,, France, and the VSSR, '-Polish Foreign....
Minister Rapacki elaborated on his previous proposals for
a nuclear-free zone in Central Europe. In an effort to force
more serious consideration of his plan by the Western powers,
he made modifications designed to answer certain of the West-
ern objections. He added proposals for a general ground and
air control system with "adequate" control poi?ts, and in order
to overcome West German objections to dealing with East Ger-
many, he suggested that an agreement could be in the form of
unilateral declarations "bearing the character of an interna-
tional obligation. "
Rapackits memorandum pointed out, furthermore, that
agreement on a system of control for the "denuclearized zone
could provide useful experiences for the realization of a broader
disarament agreement" Specific obligations of the four great
powers were spelled out in terms similar to earlier Polish
proposals. Nuclear weapons should not be manufactured nor
stockpiled in Poland, Czechoslovakia, East Germany, or West
Germany. Equipment or installations designed for the servicing
of nuclear weapons should not be located in the zone. The use
.or possession of nuclear weapons by any power in this area or
against it should be prohibited.
The Poles suggested that following agreement on the obliga-
tions that the 'four powers would undertake, the procedure
of the establishment, operation and reporting of the control
organs could hp ject of further mutual stipulations.

Israel's Reactions to Arab Mergers
The Israeli Government does not consider the union of
Egypt and Syria as substantially affecting Israel's security
since the two Arab states for the past year and a half have
had a unified military command without any noticeable change
in Israel's border relations. An Israeli Foreign Ministry of-
ficial has stated that, until some "new element" is introduced
into the situation, the Israelis intend to observe quietly the un-
ion's development. He contrasted his government's present
attitude with its stronger reaction to the Egyptian arms deal
with Czechoslovakia in 1955..
The. Israelis believe the merger may result. in an increase
of Soviet training and technical assistance in the United Arab
Republic. They do not concur with a view they consider preva-
lent in the West--that Egypt's leadership in the republic will
retard Soviet penetration of Syria.
Jordan's merger with Iraq apparently is taken more seri-
ously by Israeli government and military leaders in view of
the absence of even an armistice agreement between Iraq and
Israel, and Iraq's persistent hostility. According to the Israeli
official, the lack of any guarantee respecting the "behavior" of
the new Arab federation causes particular concern. This ex-
pression of concern probably presages a renewed Israeli effort
to obtain defense guarantees from Western powers.
