DAILY BRIEF
25X1
Brazil: Congress appears to be sharply divided
on President Goulart's request for a state of siege,
on which it will vote within the next few days.
The action of the bank workers in Rio de Janeiro
and railroad employees in Sao Paulo in ending their
strikes will tend to strengthen the opposition argument
that a state of siege is unnecessary at this ti
the National Democratic Union--is unanimously against
Goulart's request.
the
Iargest opposition bloc in the Chamber of Deputies--
Whatever the outcome of the vote, it is becoming
increasingly apparent that Goulart's key military ad-
visers are prepared to play a more active and perhaps
a dominant political role. War Minister Jair Ribeiro
is emerging as the leading figure on the scene, and
reportedly is having a strong influence on the decisions
of Goulart, whose position appears to be increasingly
difficult- F_

Honduras: A new civilian-military government
has been formed with Colonel Oswaldo Lopez Arellano,
leader of the recent coup d'etat, assuming the office
of head of state.
Individuals with previous experience in the Hon-
duran Government predominate in both the new cabi-
net and the Supreme Court, to which new appointments
have been made. Colonel Lopez and Colonel Armando
Escalon, chief of the air force and new minister of
Defense, are the only military officers who hold high
positions.
At a conference for foreign newsmen on 5 October,
Colonel Lopez hinted that a constituent assembly would
be convened but gave no indication when or how such
a group would. be chosen. Lopez went on to,say that
his government would stay in power for about one
year and had no intention of repealing any of the so-
cial legislation passed under Villeda's adminstration.

Although Lopez'. government appears to be in
control and to be winning the support of professional
and business groups, further outbreaks of violence
can be expected from die-hard Liberals and Commu-
nists.

Dominican Republic: The new civilian govern-
j /
ment is stepping up efforts to portray itself as free
from military pressure and aggressively anti-Com-VON,
munist, but not reactionary.
This theme, emphasized in numerous public
statements by ranking officials of the provisional
regime, is being combined with charges that the de-
posed Bosch administration was guilty of large-scale
corruption. US Embassy officials in Santo Domingo
believe that the latter charges are probably exag-
gerated. In any case, the questionable character of
several high-ranking officials of the new government
suggests that its record for honesty will be equally
poor, if not worse.
In a speech on 5 October, a member of the three-
I
man executive indicated that new anti-Communist
legislation was under study but that no "witch hunt"
would be allowed. The spokesman also announced
that a controversial private school run by the country's
leading Marxist and Communist intellectuals in Santo
Domingo was being closed.
What seems to have been the first sizable public
protest against the coup occurred on 4 October. Ac-
cording to the local press, a gathering of Dominican
students--said to number about 1,000--was exhorted
by several unidentified speakers to march on the
presidential alace on 7 October.
