FAR EAST
1. Rhee's police plan "special" 15 August demonstrations
against NNSC:
COMMENT
South Korea has set a midnight dead-
line on 13 August for the removal of
the commission teams from South Korea.
mobs may assault the commission com-
pounds if the deadline is not observed.
Although earlier plans called for differ-
ent armed services to assault each of the five commission
compounds in South Korea on Liberation Day, 15 August,
the army and navy chiefs of staffs have indicated that they
would not approve the use of force in such a venture. Police-
inspired demonstrations by civilians appear likely to con-
tinue, however. Pusan is particularly liable to new violence
because of the presence there of a paramilitary force com-
pletely loyal to Rhee�General Won Yong-tok's Provost Mar-
shal General Command.

3. Moroccan nationalists call for demonstrations on
20 August:
Leaflets are being distributed by
Moroccan nationalists in the native
quarter of Casablanca calling for
demonstrations on 20 August, the
second anniversary of the dethronement of former sul-
tan Mohamed ben Youssef, to be followed by a week of
general strikes throughout Morocco.
Meanwhile, the French settlers are
consolidating their forces in an effort to have Resident
General Grandval replaced. General Duval, army com-
mander in Morocco. is being mentioned as his successor.
COMMENT Widespread demonstrations on 20
August would probably result in con-
siderable bloodshed--particularly if by that tinis Paris
has not announced a policy for Morocco or replaced
Grandval. Removal of the present sultan, Mohamed ben
Arafa, the minimum demand of Moroccan nationalists,
would on the other hand incite the French settlers to
resort to violence.
French premier Faure recently told
American representatives in Paris that Grandval is his
personal choice as resident general, and he intends to
back him.
