DAILY BRIEF
*Brazil: Tensions have relaxed following the vir-
tually bloodless overthrow of the Goulart government,
Civilian and military leaders are cooperating to
restore normality, with the armed forces showing
every indication of refraining from any interference
in the governing process. Acting War Minister Costa
e Silva has given assurances that the military will
respect the congress and abide by next year's elec-
tions.
Interim President Mazzilli's first few cabinet
appointments reflect a generally moderate, pro-West-
ern orientation. Mazzilli is expected to fill the re-
maining posts with capable men of similar political
outlook.
There are conflicting reports as to ousted Presi-
dent Goulart's whereabouts, but he is believed to have
taken refuge in his Sao Borja ranch on the Uruguayan
border, from where he could easily go into exile. A
number of other leftists have taken asylum in various
Latin American embassies or crossed into neighboring
countries, Meanwhile, the roundup of Communist
leaders continues.
The general atmosphere throughout Brazil is one
of relief. Relative calm was reported everywhere
following the collapse of the last pocket of resistance
yesterday in Rio Grande do Sul state. In Rio de Janeiro

a holiday mood prevailed, reflected in the anti-Goulart
demonstration of some one million persons. However
some pro-Goulart demonstrations have taken place in
Recife and one or two smaller cities and several strikes
have broken out. The important coffee port of Santos
was virtuall paralyzed yesterday ortworkers

*USSR .-, Communist China: The publication of
Suslov's speech to the Soviet party Central Committee
meeting in mid-February marks the first step in a
Soviet counteroffensive, against Peiping.
This move probably is designed to set the stage
for further pronouncements by Khrushchev during
his present visit to Hungary and at ceremonies in
Moscow on the occasion of his 70th birthday on 17.April.
Although Suslov placed the USSR on record as fa-
voring a new world Communist conference to "surmount
the difficulties that have arisen in the Communist move-
ment," the summary of his speech contains no indica-
tions of imminent moves to force a complete break with
the Chinese,
The speech and a 15 February Central Committee
"decision" also published yesterday suggest that the
Soviet leaders, under pressure from certain Eastern
European and foreign Communist parties, plan to con-
tinue efforts aimed ostensibly at restoring unity rather
than to provoke an early showdown and the expulsion
of the Chinese.
These pronouncements, however, make it clear
that the Russians intend to intensify their attempts to
isolate the Chinese by making them appear irrespon-
sible and indifferent to the interests of foreign parties
and the Communist movement as a whole. .
Suslov. insisted that Peiping's behavior requires
that "we come out openly and strongly against the in-
correct views and dangerous actions" of the Chinese
leaders. The Soviet party "decision" demanded the
"ideological exposure" of Chinese heresies and a
"decisive repulsion of their splitting actions."

In response to Peiping's "invitations" to the Soviet
party to overthrow Khrushchev, the documents pub-
lished today make a special point of praising his leader-
ship and the solidarity of the Soviet leaders. Suslov
declared that the Central Committee headed by Khru-
shchev "has never been so united and monolithic" and
that the "Leninist line pursued by our party cannot be
separated from the Central Committee and from Khru-
shchev.11

Ma.karios has stated he will ask the UN to help gov-
ernment security forces enforce the order against any
units which refuse to surrender their weapons.
Turkey?s rejection of Makarios? request to with-
draw its troops astride the Nicosia-Kyrenia road may
provoke early countermoves. Makarios may announce
unilateral abrogation of the 1960 Treaty of Alliance
among Cyprus, Greece, and Turkey which provides
for the stationing of 950 Greek and 650 Turkish troops
on Cyprus. Press reports speculate that Greek Cyp-
riots may attack Turkish positions.
The drive to bring former underground leader
George Grivas back to Cyprus from Greece gathered
strength with the parade of several thousand Greek
Cypriot students through Nicosia yesterday. A special
committee to promote his return has been formed and
it is slated to hold a demonstration on 5 April, accord-
ing to the press.

LThis may be keyed to demonstrations planned for this
weLlk-end in Panama City and elsewhere to commemorate
the fifth anniversary of the "Cerro Tute uprising." This un-
successful rebellion was notable because it was planned to
coincide with a Cuban-supported landing in Panama.1
~,A banana workers, strike, which began ten days ago
and now embraces some 5,000 workers, increases the pos-
sibility of trouble in the interior. The danger that the strike
will spread--and perhaps erupt into violence--is enhanced by
the fact that the workers are being incited by ro-Communist
agitators, some of whom are Cuban trainedY
L:Ameanwhile, the prolonged difficulty in choosing a new
rector for the national, university is improving the Commu-
nists' chances of finally dominating the university's admin-
istration as well as its students.

~In response to charges that he is assisting Communist
eff r s to take over the university, Education Minister Solis
Palma recently defended the choice of "communist solutions"
when other methods do not solve a country's problems.

South Vietnam: [ZGeneral Khanh -remains wary of

Khanh and his defense minister, General Khiem,
El
have voiced concern in recent weeks about efforts of
the Dai Viet Party to recruit followers in the armed
forces. They apparently feel that such activity could
eventually make the Dai Viets, who have several min-
isters in the government, a threat to the military
leadership.-7

Britain:5ir Michael Fraser, the influential di-
rector of the Conservative Party's research depart-
ment, is strongly advising Prime Minister Douglas-
Home to put off general elections until the fall. Fraser's
analysis of the political situation indicates that public
sentiment is gradually shifting in the Conservatives'
favor, but not fast enough to catch up with labor for
several months unless something unexpected occurs.
It is not certain that Douglas-Home will heed this ad-
vice. Other important party figures, fearing an eco-
nomic downturn, are dubious about deferring elections
to the last possible momento
