DAILY BRIEF
'/ *USSR-Berlin: The latest Soviet moves in the corri-
dors are intended to demonstrate further that present
procedures are inadequate to guarantee air safety. Mos-
cow is gradually trying to build a case to demand changes
which would increase Communist control over Western
.flights in the corridors. In addition, the gradual increas-
ing pressure against Western air access is designed to
maintain a sense of urgency for negotiating a Berlin set-
tlement. Shortly after the six Soviet transport flights in
the southern corridor were completed on 15 March as
scheduled, the USSR protested that Western aircraft had
"deliberately violated established flight procedures" and
"endangered air safety in the corridors." The Soviet con-
trollers in BASC charged that one commercial and two US
military transports overtook Soviet transports in the same
flight levels and "approached inadmissibly close."
Four Soviet transport flights--two outbound and two
inbound--are scheduled in the northern corridor for 16
March during the hours of darknesq (1400-1500 EST) at
altitudes from 6,500 to 9,500 feet.

 *Guatemala: The security situation in Guatemala City has
deteriorated further as Communist-led students, with grow-
ing support from other elements of -the population, continued
rioting for the third successive day. Several deaths have
been reported, and the number of injured is estimated above
150. Police ineptness and brutality have led, as the Commu-

students and the Communist-inf luenced labor unions which
launched a sympathy strike on 14 Nfarch.
11 the disturbances continue and.if there are indications
that popular hostility toward the President is becomingwide-
spread, a Military coup may result. President Ydigoras has
expressed determination to use whatever force may be re-
quired to end the disturbances, but the army reportedly is ap-
prehensive! lest it be called in to restore order. Some officers
have said that if called upon, the army will not use force against
25XJL the students bu * t will, instead, force Ydigoras from office and
install a military junta.

Guerrilla activity which broke out east of the capital on

tention to send two destroys and two submarines through the
Panama Canal for a tour of American Pacific coast ports may
25X1 destroy prospects for preliminary secret talks with Indonesia
on West New Guinea and could provoke some form of Indonesian
military action. The Netherlands and Indonesia had agreed on
12 and 14 March respectively to proceed with the talks in the
presence of an American mediator. The Dutch decision to send
the ships to Pacific coast ports apparently is a compromise to
meet the demands of elements in the cabinet which favored dis-
patch of the vessels to West New Guinea to allay growing concern
in the Netherlands for the safety of Dutch nationals there Indo-
nesia will probably regard the transfer of Dutch naval units

25XI
Eastern European satellites have withdrawn almost all of
Soviet-Albanian dispute. In Pyongyang's most outspoken re-
cent assertion of sympathy for Peiping's position toward the
West, a North Korean party newspaper on '12 March pub-
lished a compilation of Lenin quotations to support the prop-
osition that peace propaganda not accompanied by the call
for revolutionary action of the masses can only sow illusion
and corrupt the proletariat. The paper included quotations
from Lenin often used by Peiping in its rebuttal of Soviet po-
sitions. In a statement made at the North Korean party
plenum last fall, Kim II-sung implied that the denigration
of Stalin was strictly an internal affair of the Soviet party
and that attacks on the personality cult had no place in Korea.
Kim continues to receive personal credit in his regime's prop-
aganda for North Korean progress. North Korea on 10 1&rch

18 March. The Soviets have generally used opportunities to
attend congresses of free world Communist parties to consult
on regional Communist. tactics, and to consult with local sub-
versive elements.
The Chilean Communist party, in coalition with other lef t-
ist parties, almost defeated Alessandri in the presidential
election of 1958. Their present tactics are to achieve power
through legislative means rather than by revolutionary vio-
lence.
Situation Report- -Greece: Relations between the govern-
ment and the non-Communist opposition have become more
embittered than at any time in recent years as a result of the
opposition's continued allegations of electoral corruption. The
Communists, attempting to recover from the. smashing de-
feat suffered by their front party in the elections, appear in
a position to profit from the growing antagonisms between the
major parties. another noteworthy aspect of the present sit-
uation is the increase in criticism by the opposition of the
monarchy itself, especially for financial extravagance. The
Queen is reported especially disturbed that Prime Minister
Karamanlis has not made a strong defense against such crit-
icism

African Nationalist Pressure On Portuguese Guinea
ortuguese Guinea has an area of 14,000 square miles--
leshan half that of Portugal- -and a population numbering
approximately 550,000. Except for a few thousand whites
and mulattos, the inhabitants are African tribesmen who are
among the most backward in West Africa. Two of the most
important tribal groups are the predominantly Moslem Fulani
and Mandingos who inhabit the interior of the territory and
have traditionally maintained close contacts with Wlow tribes
men dwelling in Senegal and the. Republic of Guinea
addition to the nationalist pressures emanating from
Conakry, which hopes ultimately to annex Portuguese Guinea,
Senegal has for some time been providing propaganda and at
least some financial assistance to other, more moderate Por-
tuguese Guinean emigre elements. The most important of
these are organized in the Dakar-based Liberation Movement
of Guinea and the Cape Verde Islands (MLGC). A "United
Liberation Front" which was proclaimed by MLGC and PAIGC
leaders at a conference in Dakar last July apparently never got
off the ground and has since been superseded by an alignment
between the MLGC ap4 Holden Roberto's non--Communist Angolan
People's Union (UPA)
Although both the MLGC and the PAIGC claim to have the
greater support within Portuguese Guinea, a Senegalese offi-
cial characterized the MLGC last fall as "substantially weaker"
than its rival. In January,
the MLGC did not appear to be in a position to en-
gage in any significant action since it lacked arms and other
necessary materiel and was not well enough organized either
within or outside Portuguese Guinea. This situation in part re-
flects the much more cautious support being given Portuguese
Guinean nationalists by Senegal, which is under French pres-
sure to minimize provocation of the Portuguese. Paris is re
portedly concerned that it might become involved, because of

Chile's 12th Communist Party Congress
Among the issues confronting the congress which opened
on 13 March is the Peiping-Moscow dispute. The Chilean
party, unlike many of its Latin American counterparts, has
failed to issue a formal statement supporting Khrushchev and
his condemnation of Albanian leadership. Chile's Communist
leader, Luis Corvalan, and his lieutenants appear to support
the Soviet position, but there reportedly is doubt among many
of the Chilean party's 17,000 to 20,000 members regarding
Khrushchev's treatment of Stalin, China, and Albania,
Chile broke diplomatic relations with the USSR in 1947 and
has not reestablished them. The Alessandri government has
been tolerant toward the Chilean Communists, however, and
the presence of a Soviet party delegation suggests a belief by
Moscow that with proper guidance the Chilean Communists may
be of considerable assistance in furthering Soviet interests in
Chile.
A major consideration during the five-day congress will
probably concern tactics to strengthen the party's popular ap-=
peal in view of the 1964 presidential elections. The party,
legalized in 1958 after ten years of being outlawed, received
11.8 percent of the vote in the 1961 congressional elections. As
a result, it holds 16 of the 147 seats in the Chamber of Deputies
and 4 of the 45 Senate seats.
During the past two years the party has failed to increase
its influence in the labor movement. Ways to correct this
weakness will also probably be a major consideration of the
congress.
Emphasizing his belief in ultimate victory, Corvalan de-
clared in opening the congress that "the Chilean Communists
are in favor of the country's deciding its internal problems
without civil war." He warned, however, that if the free ex-
pression of popular will is prevented, the working class will
have to defend with violence its right to govern. He urged
"the nationalization of US firms and the expropriation of in-
ternal monopolies:'

Situation Report: Greece
The elections resulted in a vote of confidence for the right-
of-center party of Premier Karamanlis, which won slightly
over 50 percent of the popular vote and 176 of the 300 seats in par-
liament. Equally significant was the defeat of the Communist-
dominated United Democratic Left (EDA). It dropped from
nearly 25 percent of the popular vote in the 1958 elections to
less than 15 percent in 1961, with the result that its represen.-
tation in parliament dropped from 79 to 24 deputies. A coali-
tion of nationalist opposition parties--the Center Union and
Progressive-elected 100 deputies, reestablishing. a non-Com-
munist alternative.to Karamanlis after three years in which
EDA had been the major opposition party,
Since October the. Center Union, with 76 deputies, has main-
tained a constant attack, charging that the elections were con-
ducted in a.fraudulent manner, and has refused to accept the
legitimacy of the present government. Parliament has been
forced to delay discussion of crucial domestic and foreign prob-
lems, in order to debate this issue. Following the rejection
on 2 March of opposition motions to censure members of the
caretaker government under which the elections. were held, the
Center Union announced plans for public demonstrations through-
out Greece. The next one is scheduled in Crete on 18 March.
George Papandreou, veteran Liberal politician and leader of
the Center Union, is waging the campaign in the hope of forcing
the King to name a caretaker. government and hold new elections.
The leadership of EDA appears to be badly split over the
issue of responsibility for the party's poor showing in the elec-
tions. The confusion will probably continue until specific guide

lines for future policies are received from the proscribed
Communist party of Greece, whose headquarters are lo-
cated in Eastern Europe. Meanwhile, EDA is collaborating
with the Center Union in denunciation of the elections, there-
by gaining a degree of respectability which it has long sought,
Recent reports of dissatisfaction within the Center Union at
Papandreou's largely negative policies could be the forerun-
ner of fragmentation of his party with resultant benefits to
EDA.

Recent attacks on the crown by both EDA and the Center
Union have reopened old wounds in Greek political life. Pub-
lication of recently available correspondence between the late
King Constantine, father of King Paul, and the Kaiser during
World War I has, revived charges of disloyalty against the mon-
archy. Other attacks against the palace involve the size of the
dowry for Princess Sophia's forthcoming marriage, the renova-
tion of a new palace for the crown prince, and other financial
issues. The attacks on the royal family have been denounced
by the government as political blackmail designed to force the
King to call new elections.
//Both King Paul and Queen Frederika are described as
"furious" with the opposition. While palace irritation with
Karamanlis has also been. reported over his alleged.. failure to
take a strong stand in defense of. the royal family, it is most
unlikely that the'King would accede to opposition pressure for
new elections Karramanlis has a sizable working majority in
parliament, and his. present government is generally regarded
as the most competent of the four he has formed. It is unlikely
that a significant number of his deputies would desert him,
despite some personal antagonisms, unless it became appar-
ent that he had lost the supp rt of one or more of the major
"factors" in Greek politics,/ he palace, the army, or the Amer-
