DAILY BRIEF

Wednesday's emergency session of
the Arab Defense Council in Cairo is
sure to be a shouting match between
Jordan and Egypt. After some hesita-
tion, King Husayn agreed to send a
delegation headed by his prime minis-
ter--a personal target for much of the
Arab antagonism against Jordan.
Demonstrations broke out again
today in west Jordan after several
days of relative calm. It looks sus-
piciously like a provocation by
Husayn's enemies designed to bring
new pressure on the King on the eve
of the Cairo meeting.
Lingering hopes of a last-minute
settlement seem to have finally been
put to rest today. Prime Minister
Wilson has dispatched George Brown to
New York to request an early meeting
of the UN Security Council on the
question of mandatory sanctions.

Nasir is getting nowhere in his
effort to have the Soviets bail out
the, Egyptian economy. He sent his
first vice president to'Moscow-recent-
ly and, from all accounts, the result
was more hard-nosed Soviet advice to
.economize and work harder.
The army has been making some head-
way in recent weeks against the Commu-
nist guerrillas. Troop morale has risen
and the wind has been knocked out of
rightist allegations that the govern-
ment is soft on Communism.
It will still be a long fight ahead,
though. Guerrilla attacks took place
last week in new areas of the countryside.
The terrorist network in the capital city
remains very active. Last weekend the
government extended its emergency powers
for another thirty days.
