Arms, Aid,
Moroccan Crown Prince and.. Chief of Staff Moulay Hassan is
reported displeased. with the size of the token American shipment
of materiel scheduled for display- during the mid-November na-
tional holidays ,dome 26 items of mobile artillery and trans-port
vehicles compose the initial shipment under a $5009000 military
aid. grant which the prince expects to use to equip five units of
shock troops? These he envisages as an elite force to be used
for the protection of the monarchy should internal stability de-
teriorate markedly, Moulay Hassan is said to have characterized
the projected shipment as "ridiculously s-mall and entirely inade-
quate" for a spectacular de~nons1tration of American support far

Coup Rumors Circulate in Djakarta
Numerous rumors- of an impending army coup which have
circulated in Djakarta for the past few weeks appear to be part
of the general atmosphere of uneasiness in the Indonesian Gov-
ernmenta This uneas,ines,s, seems to pertain particularly to
President SukarnoPs attitude toward the army, His suspicion
of army powers although typical of his attitude toward any ele-
ment which might threaten his- position, apparently has, been
deliberately aggravated by the Communist party in its effort
to create dissension between the President and the army.
Since mid-Septemberp President Sukarno has, demonstrated
a renewed. interest in balancing the army`s influence in govern-
ment by concessions, to leftist elements, These include his de-
cision to speak at the Communist party's sixth national congressg
despite the army's attempts to minimize attention to the meeting,
and his, creation of a West Irian Committee weighted with ex-
treme nationalists and. leftists which is likely to obstruct the
army's- anti-Communis-t efforts, A reorganization of administra-
tive machinery governing implementation of prevailing martial
law seems likely to decrease the powers of Army Chief of Staff
and, Defense Minister General Nasutiona The former army intel-
ligence chief has implied. that and;iarmy elements are getting
closer to the Presidento
An army coup directed. at replacing President Sukarno or'
reducing his power appears unlikely at this tame. hc~wsver~.:.un-
le~a there i~ extreme provocation. The army itself would. be
sharply divided on anti-Sukarno action, and army leaders in
Djakarta are aware that an unsuccessful coup mi ht turn Sukarno
almost exclusively toward Communis-t support
