MAJOR PROBLEMS
MIDDLE EAST
The need to placate Moshe Dayan and to give Labor
Party campaigners something to talk about before the
October national elections may push Golda Meir into an
awkward corner. By allowing the party to adopt Dayan's
hawkish formula for retention or control of key sections
of the occupied territories, Mrs. Meir will make it all
the More difficult for any future government to settle
for anything less.
SOVIET AFFAIRS ?
The large-scale air exercise, involving Soviet,
Polish, and Czechoslovak units,- ended on 2 August. As
it turned out, this exercise was the largest and most
complex of its kind ever held in Eastern Europe./
the ma-
neuvers had been in the works for several months.

II, OTHER IMPORTANT DEVELOPMENTS
'NIGERIA
Last June the Biafrans vowed to disrupt federal
petroleum production, but in the ensuing months achieved
only limited success toward that goal. On Saturday,
however, an infantry unit thrust to within 15 miles of
the Trans-Niger Pipeline and now has a good chance of
intersecting it. If the Biafrans cut the line, Nigeria's
total petroleum output could be reduced from its present
500,000 barrels per day to about 300 000.
