DAILY BRIEF
I. THE COMMUNIST BLOC
USSR-Geneva talks: Moscow apparently believes .
that both Geneva conferences are entering the final stage
and is maneuvering for the strongest possible positions in
the event of an early breakoff. Bloc delegates are seeking
to establish a record which they hope will place the onus for
any failure to reach agreement on the West. There have been
no hints of any major changes in bloc proposals at either con-
ference.
USSR-UAR: Negotiations begun this summer for the sup-
ply of additional bloc arms to Egypt are still in progress in
Moscow. In addition to jet fighter aircraft, Cairo is seeking
naval equipment and probably a wide range of land armaments.
Deliveries contracted for earlier in these negotiations are
now under way, with at least three Soviet merch.m+ chirl� onhieI
uled to transport arms to Alexandria shortly.
IL ASIA-AFRICA
UAR alert reduced: Cairo on 25 November called off
the precautionary alert of UAR forces instituted in late Octo-
ber in anticipation of a crisis in Jordan. Units were instructed
to revert to their previous state of readiness, with the excep-
tion of Egyptian forces in Sinai which will remain on alert.

Syria-Jordan: Reports of Syrian dissatisfaction with
the UAR and of possible new difficulties for Cairo in the
UARys northern region are increasing. The disgruntled
elements, however, appear to be primarily members of
conservative groups. Current reforms are largely di-
rected against their vested interests, and neither Nasir
nor the Syrian Baathists have ever counted on their polit-
ical support. Even if unrest develops to the point of open
violence, UAR security measures nnear aciPnuatp fn
maintain control in Syria
uncuid: rrime minister Nxruman nas incticatea tnat
if he does not receive the assistance he desires from the
West to implement the 50,000,000 Volta River hydro-
electric-aluminum project, upon which his regime is count-
ing heavily, he will do "all possible" to get such assistance
from "any source anywhere." A spokesman for Nkrumah
said offers of technical assistance and machinery from Po-
land and Czechoslovakia are already being considered and
that Nkrumah would be "reluctantly" receptive to major
help from Moscow if it is not forthcoming frnm thp Wt

III. THE WEST
Uruguay: The Colorado party, which has dominated
the government for almost a century, is likely to suffer
severe losses in the 30 November general elections because
of widespread discontent over economic conditions. The
party's fear of losing control of the nine-man executive coun-
cil as well as of Congress has led to talk of a preventive coup,
but the party is probably willing to rely on its organizational
ability and the advantages it expegain at the polls from
its recent pro-labor measures. (Page 6)
