*Congo- UN officials in Elisabethville say they are "go-
ing s o' in their military action pending further rein-
forcement. UN forces at the airport, however, were under
pressure from Katangan troops on 8 December, as were
UN forces along the road from Elisabethville to the airport.
Fighting within the city was sporadic; many Western diplo-
mats believe that if the UN continues its present tactics of
"destroying" houses suspected of containing belligerents,
there will be large-scale civilian casualties. UN troop to-
tals in Elisabethville reached 4,500 on 8 December.
UN representative Urquhart stated on 7 December that
the UN Command hoped to disarm Katangan forces in Elis-
abethville within two days. He indicated that after securing
Elisabethville the UN would turn its attention to Jadotville
and Kolwezi. Such a timetable appears overoptimistic.
The UN Command has warned the Union Miniere mining
combine that unless it denies its communications facilities
to Tshombe's forces, such installations will be attacked as
military targets. A Union Miniere official has contended
that such facilities are not at the disposal of Katangan forces,
but that on occasion they have been commandeered at gunpoint.
Western consuls plan to remind UN officials that attacks on
Union Miniere installations could disrupt railroads, telecom-
munications, and water power over a large part of Katanga.
The UN Command in Elisabethville reportedly has begun
to broadcast over the same frequency as Radio Elisabethville
in an effort to counter Katangan propaganda. UN representative
Linner in Leopoldville has ordered. that Radio Elisabethville be

may order some form of military action aimed at either out-

conquest or. the creation of a situation which would
force international action to restore peace and thereby ad-
vance world recognition of Indonesia's claim. Sukarno has
summoned Indonesian service chiefs to discuss the New 25X1
n onesia? in iscu sing u.
with there n ambassador on 8 December, President
Sukarno strongly implied his intention to use force at an
early date to acquire the area. Sukarno commented that
force is the only language the Dutch understand. He said
that unless administration of New Guinea is transferred to
Indonesia either directly or under UN auspices, his only
alternative will be military action. Ambassador Jones feels
that Sukarno was not exaggerating his intentions and that he
be decisive in Indonesian planning.
Berlinobricht, in a television interview taped on 6
December for showing in the United States on 4 January,
said that conditions for entry into East Berlin would "soon"
be "normalized" to require passports with visas at the sector
border, which he characterized as "the GDR's state frontier."
This would be designed to confront West Berliners and the
NATO countries, including West Germany, with the, choice of
not entering East Berlin, or obtaining East German visas--
tantamount to de facto recognition of the GDR.
Ulhricht was deliberately evasive, however, on the sub-
jec of Allied military entry to East Berlin. He said this ques-
tion would not arise since there would be "no place" for Allied

*Brazil-, Public protest is mounting in northeastern
Brazil over a parliamentary threat to emasculate the pro-
posed $900,000,000 "SUDENE" plan, drafted during the
Kubitschek administration, for rehabilitation of the eco-
nomically depressed area. Senate-approved amendments,
not yet passed by the lower chamber, create major obstacles
for resettlement and drought relief phases of the plan and
will have the effect of reopening the door for graft. Demon-
strations on 6 December resulted in injuries to 10 people.
Mguel Arraes, pro-Communist mayor of Recife and lead-
ing candidate for governor of Pernambuco, the most impor-
tant northeastern state, appears to be profiting politically
from the protest, which is backed by students, labor unions,

first time, limiting them to 15 of the 65 seats. Africans charge
its real purpose is to perpetuate the hegemony of the colony's
white minority of 225,000. The demonstrations were called by
the National Democratic party (NDP), which, after a period of
indecision earlier this year, seems to have decided that pres-
sure in the form of civil disobedience is the only way to effect
further change. The government of Prime Minister Whitehead
has repeatedly stated its intention to keep the security situation
few months.
