DAILY BRIEF
j
*Berlin: The Soviet Union has now given its support to
the East German regime's systematic efforts of the last
several days to force US officials to acknowledge the right
of East German guards at the Friedrichstrasse checkpoint
in East Berlin to exercise control over US-licensed vehicles
driven by civilians, or accept a self-imposed denial of entry
to the Soviet sector. In response to a protest personally
made by the American commander in Berlin on 25 October
against these East German practices, the Soviet commandant,
Solovyev, insisted on the right of the East Germans to exer-
cise controls at the East-West Berlin sector border. Solov-
yev further maintained that the USSR can not influence or
interfere with East German actions at the sector border.
US officials maintain that US forces license plates are
sufficient identification, while the East Germans have in-
sisted.that the occupants must, when not in uniform, show
identification documents, Soviet officials in Berlin had in-
dicated their acceptance of the US position as recently as
22 October when the Soviet political advisor told the Ameri-
can political advisor that the East Germans had made a mis-
take in not permitting the passage of US-licensed vehicles
and that this would be corrected. This statement was fol-
lowed on the next day, however, with an East German In-
terior Ministry announcement that the regime's police were
under instructions to permit foreign citizens to pass only
after showing their passports. The announcement claimed
that "persons in civilian clothes" were trying to evade these
regulations without "proving" membership in the Western
occupation forces.

Iran: .Che Shah, who has reluctantly supported Prime Min-
ister Amini for six months, may be considering resuming per-
sonal control of the government as complaints increase from
special interests affected by Amini's reform program. The
Shah. has probably been dissatisfied by his lack of complete con- r
trol over Amini, who was appointed in May following public dem- /v
onstrations directed against last February's rigged elections. A
number of politicians, landowners, and government officials who
have the Shah's ear are reportedly urging early elections, which
would be so arranged as to result in the removal of the Amini
governmen`fl
The Shah's leadership has not been effective in the past,
and his return to running the government would invite wide-
spread criticism and encourage more plotting against him.7n

South Korea - Japan, /Korean security chief Col. Kim
Chong-pil, a key figure in the junta, is in Tokyo
25X1
o expedite the negotiations under way since 20 Octo-
ber for the settlement of outstanding differences between Japan
and South Korea. The Japanese Foreign Ministry has indicated
that Prime Minister Ikeda is not prepared to discuss figures for
a financial settlement of South Korean claims, which is the issue
of paramount interest to the Koreans. Tokyo will, however, try
to prevent Kimyfrom appearing to have failed as did a previous
Korean mission. j
Kim may also intend to explore the possibility of negotiat-
ing a mutual defense pact with Japan and Nationalist China. Kim
was in Taiwan earlier this month. He is almost certain to be
turned down on this proposal because of Japanese fears of be-
coming involved in any military arrangement. Public knowledge
of such a proposal would provide the Japanese opposition with
an issue for attacking the government and further jeopardize the
prospects of normalizing relations between the two countrie` '
