2. US Attache in Manila reports possible change in Huk policy towards 
Americans: irtitrir 
Commenting on the 26 March Huk raid on 3.3(h)(2) 
an American-managed chrome mining 
property, the senior US Military Attache 
in Manila states that US citizens in iso-
lated Philippine areas are in acute danger and that the Philippine 
Armed Forces are incapable of providing security. He comments 
that the mine incident, in addition to three previous affairs, strongly 
suggests that the Huks have changed their policy of non-violence to-
ward Americans. 
comment: The recent attacks cited by 
the Military Attache do not in themselves definitely justify a con-
clusion that the Huks have changed their policy of non-violence toward 
Americans. Americans have in the past been subject to violence in 
the course of Huk attacks against weakly defended targets.

Amid a rising tide of dissatisfaction 3.3(h)(2) 
with economic conditions and heavy 
criticism of Economics Minister Erhard's 
laissez faire policy, Chancellor Adenauer 
has been attempting to organize a special cabinet committee respon-
sible for providing integrated leadership in economic affairs. He is 
also trying to have Dr. Friedrich Ernst, head of the Berliner Central 
Bank, appointed his personal representative on the new Committee. 
The dominant Christian Democratic Party has given Erhard "one 
more chance," on condition that he submit an anti-cartel law, infro,. 
duce controls on raw materials and imports, and provide for the 
stabilization of domestic prices, especially of basic foodstuffs. 
Comment: Adenauer realizes that to 
hold the recently-acquired good will of labor, he must take action 
"in the face of rising prices. Economics Minister Erhard has been

widely criti ed for his unwillingness to impose controls, but 
Adenauer has been reluctant to remove him for fear of "rocking 
the boat." Adenauer's attempt to by-pass Erhard by bringing 
Ernst into the government in a position of authority was defeated, 
at least temporarily, by the Cabinet on 20 March.
