Presidential runner-up Dzu may
get himself arrested if he continues
to harass the government. ?The Saigon
police chief, miffed by Dzu's un-
authorized (and hence illegal) press
?conference on Thursday, has said that,
unless instructed otherwise by higher
authority, he will arrest Dzu if he
attempts any other illegal moves.

4. Japan
5. Middle East
6. Chile
Public opinion is getting farther
?and farther out in front of Prime
Minister Sato on the Okinawa issue.
Fanned by the opposition parties and
the press, the pressures for a quick
reversion of the islands to Japan are
becoming so strong that Sato may have
trouble holding the line.
Sato is a tough customer, however.
At last word, he was still expecting
to come up with a formula that would
be acceptable to the public without
destroying the usefulness of the bases
to the US.
President Frei has growing prob-
lems on the home front)
? He has even lost control of his own
Christian Democratic Party to a radical
faction which is taking the same line
as Chile's strong Marxist political
alliance.
Last week, responding to pressures
for more forceful leadership, Frei
cracked down hard on leaders of a nois
but almost impotent rightist party.

Yet, unless he does something to stop
the present drift, the extremists could
before long become the dominant polit-
ical force in the country.

7. Cyprus
As the Greek and Turkish leaders
prepare to meet this weekend, there
are signs that Athens may be trying
hard for settlement of the Cyprus prob-
lem. This might well involve important
concessions to the Turks thoroughly
unacceptable to Archbishop Makarios.
Present leaders in Greece, however, are
not above trying to impose a settle-
ment on Cyprus by military force, if
necessary. This, of course, could
easily lead to considerable turmoil on
the island.
