American economic development plan, "Operation Pan Ameri-
ca," is resulting in a cautious and neutralist Brazilian approach
to the Cuban problem and a tolerance for Cuban and pro-Commu-
nist activities in Brazil. Kubitschek's policy is based on the
views of his key foreign policy adviser, Frederico Schmidt,
LATE ITEMS
*Republic Of The Congo: Increased stresses within the Congo-
lese Government suggest that Premier Lumumba may not be able
to retain power in the absence of outside aid. The endorsement
by ICasavubuis Abako party of a Congo confederation such as is
favored by Katanga Premier Tshombe, together with disaffection /
in Equator Province and near anarchy in Kasai Province, may .
prompt Lumumba to request that Ghana and Guinea unilaterally
dispatch troops to bolster his regime. (Page 4
The UN Security Council has again called for the immediate -
withdrawal of Belgian troops from the Congo and has, in effect, ----,
given assurances to Tshombe and other dissident provincial lead-
ers that the UN will in no way interfere with their attempts to
organize a Congo confederation. Armed with this resolution,
Hamrnarsk)old will probably return to the Congo and proceed with
his plans to bring the country under the control of the UN forces

In a sudden and unexpected action. The takeover was seemingly
carried out unilaterally by Kong Le, although it may have had
the secret backing of certain high-ranking army officers disgruntled
over the meteoric rise to preeminence of Defense Minister Gen-
eral Phoumi. The objectives of the takeover are as yet unclear;
however, a leaflet signed by the "revolutionary committee" exhorts

Ci:azil Relates Cuban Problem to US Aid for Economic Development
The dominant group of Brazilian officials concerned with
foreign policy, including President Kubitschek and his chief
adviser, Augusto Frederico Schmidt, favors a cautious neutral
approach to the Cuban problem, in contrast to Brazil's past pol-
icy of marshaling support for the US at inter-American meetings.
This group, spearheaded by Schmidt, sees in this approach a way
to pry "massive support" from the US for Kubitschek's plan for
Latin American economic development, "Operation Pan America"
(OPA), which he regards as essential to hemisphere security.
A minority group in the Foreign Ministry, including Foreign
Minister Lafer and Political Chief Pio Correa, advocates a "hard
line" on Cuba. but this is rejected by Schmidt
Kubitschek almost fired Pio Correa for
putting special restrictions on the issuance of visas to Cuban na-
tionals, and he rescinded the restrictions immediately.
The American Embassy in Rio de Janeiro believes that at the
forthcoming meeting of foreign ministers in Costa Rica, Brazil
will probably tend to withhold full cooperation on the Cuban issue
unless it receives quid pro quo on OPA or unless other Latin
American nations provide substantial unreserved support for US
viewpoints.
