(Thus far in 1962 China has agreed to purchase

Further grain imports in 1963 can be expected.

Yugoslavia-Poland: Yugoslavia has just revealed
that it has been granted a credit of several million
dollars by Warsaw--the first credit of any kind that
Belgrade has received from the bloc since 1956.
The credit, negotiated earlier this year, is ear-
marked for the purchase of unspecified types of tech-
nical equipment. It probably reflects Yugoslavia's
improved political relations with the bloc.
Yugoslav diplomats have indicated that they ex- 25X1

October.

In recent weeks, Communist propaganda has
singled out the US Embassy and various US civilian
agencies in Vientiane as "cover" for concealed mili-
tary personnel. The North Vietnamese, who them-
selves have significant forces dispersed in Laos, an-
confuse the whole issue.

*Brazil: Partial returns on Sunday's elections--
reflecting less than a quarter of the total vote in the
country--have failed to show conclusive trends.
The eleven gubernatorial races are extremely
tight except in Sao Paulo, where conservative machine
politician Adhemar de Barros is increasing his lead
over former President Quadros.
In Pernambuco, pro-Communist Miguel Arraes
is slightly behind conservative Joao Cleophas. The
vote was somewhat lower than expected in the state
capital, where Arraes is strong.
In President Goulart's home state of Rio Grande
do Sul, Egidio Michaelson of Goulart's labor Party
is slightly behind conservative Ildo Meneghetti, with
Fernando Ferrari, Goulart's long-standing enemy,
now counted out of the race.
Extreme leftist Silveira has a small initial lead
in a five-way race in the state of Rio de Janeiro.
Conservatives appear to have small leads over
leftist opponents in Bahia and Sergipe and a more
sizable lead in Ceara.
Only the vice governorship was at stake in anti-
Communist Governor Lacerda's state of Guanabara,
but the race has considerable importance because
Guanabara includes the city of Rio de Janeiro. Leftist
Eloy Dutra, a bitter enemy of Lacerda, has a slight
lead over Lacerda's candidate.

candidates are moderates--a millionaire industrialist

close to pro-Communist Miguel Arraes appears to
be winning in Pernambuco and an extreme leftist is
in the lead in Rio de Janeiro State. In Guanabara, a
candidate of the far left Socialist Party is appar-
ently outdistancing all other candidates.
Almost no federal deputy returns are available.
Goulart's anti-US brother-in-law Leonel Brizola ap-
pears, however, to be winning heavily in Guanabara. 25X1
Early returns in Rio Grande do Sul indicate that
Goulart's Labor Part may win a majority of that
state's deputy seats.
*Venezuela: Government action to halt the leftist
violence has eased tensions somewhat but the political
situation remains unstable.
Military leaders reportedly have given President
Betancourt an ultimatum to outlaw the Communist
Party and the Movement of the Revolutionary Left
(MIR) or face overthrow. If Betancourt is unable to
allay military pressure by other means, he may have
to accede to the military's demands. It is still un-
determined whether the Social Christian Party (COPEI)
would agree to the severe action demanded by the
military.
While more than 300 terrorists have been ar-
rested since constitutional guarantees were suspended
on 7 October, disturbances continue in the capital.
Police and security officials will probably be unable
to eliminate the violence as long as the Communist and
MIR leaders remain at large, according to the US Embassy.
Betancourt plans to meet with COPEI leaders and
labor officials in ho es of atherin support for further
government action.

*Argentina: The Peronist Coordinating Council
has drawn up a list of demands as the price of its
cooperatio in returning the country to constitutional
normalcy.)
These demands will provoke a strong reaction
from hard-line military elements opposed to the early
resumption of activity by political parties. The de-
mands will also complicate the efforts of the Guido
regime to achieve unity of democratic elements
They call for repeal of the proscription of the
Peronist party, complete freedom for all sectors of
Argentine political life, a timetable permitting instal-
lation of a new president by 1 May, repeal of restric-
tions on organized labor, and adoption of an economic
plan to benefit the 1 wer classes and stimulate eco-
nomic development
The Peronists also demand that Peron be allowed
to r urn to Argentina, with restitution of his citizen- 25X1
ship, military rank, and economic assets, when con-
stitutional normalcy is restored.

Yemen: The buildup of UAR troops and equip-
ing to a Middle East News Agency dispatch, charged

were tantamount to aggression, and stated that Yemen

*This statement, while certain to add to tensions
in the area, appears to be primarily an attempt to
justify the presence in Yemen of Egyptian forces. It
follows frequent recent assertions by Cairo that the
UAR, under the old "Jidda Pact" signed in 1956 by
Egypt, Yemen, and Saudi Arabia, would defend Yemen
against outside aggression.
