*Cuba: Castro's proposal to submit the question of
US overflights to the International Court of Justice is
a further attempt to embarrass the US.
This bid was coupled with renewed threats to use
Soviet-supplied weapons against US reconnaissance
aircraft and also with renewed expressions of willing-
ness to negotiate with the US, provided "provocations"
are halted.
These are typical Communist tactics, combining
threats and inducements calculated to increase the
political costs to the US of continuing the overflights
and to encourage the US eventually to consider some
form of negotiated settlement of a whole range of US-
Cuban issues,
Moscow's intention to maintain firm support for
Castro's political offensive was evident in Mikoyan's
raising of the overflight question in his talk with US
Ambassador Kohler at a Moscow reception on 29
April. He claimed that US statements regarding the
overflights had made a Soviet reply necessary and
he repeated points in the 24 April Izvestia article re-
garding the illegality of the flights and Castro's right
to challenge them.
Although the Cubans and Soviets almost certainly
have little expectation that the US will agree to sub-
mit this issue to adjudication, they appear confident
that Cuba will be able to marshal international sym-
pathy as a "victim of illegal US actions" and as a
nation attempting to find. a peaceful solution to a dan-
gerous situation.

Castello Branco continues his present course, he

A major source of anxiety within military circles
is the possibility that political leaders such as ex-
President Juscelino Kubitschek will gradually regain
positions of power and influence. The military prob-
ably is also troubled by the prospect that, despite the
recent purge, the old alliance between Kubitschek's

Mexico: Communists are exploiting peasant un-
rest in northern Mexico where serious disturbances
may break out before national elections are held on
5 July.
The poverty-stricken peasants in this area are
resentful and sullen over the government's failure to,
improve their lot. In recent months, Communist ag-
itation in Chihuahua State touched off a series of land
invasions. Peasants and students also physically
assaulted Gustavo Diaz Ordaz, the ruling party's
presidential candidate who is certain to win in July,
while he was campaigning in Chihuahua last month.
I I peasant leaders
claim that arms are available in the states of Tamau-
lipas, Nuevo Leon, and Chihuahua for their followers,
who are bent on taking violent action in early May.
Communists also are promoting protests against
the Colorado River's saline content, which rose sharply
last month, and which has caused extensive damage in
the agricultural areas of Baja California.
President Lopez Mateos and other Mexican of-
ficials are greatly concerned over the success Com-
munist agitators have achieved in winning influence
among the peasants of north Mexico. They also fear
that the Communists may try to assassinate Diaz
25X1
Ordaz.

NOTES
IA
Haiti: The Duvalier government is apparently
behind a new spate of rumors that US Ambassador
Timmons is to be declared persona non grata. The
preliminary view of the US Embassy is that these
rumors are intended to convey the regime's displeas-
ure over what, it sees as US criticism of the "Du-
valier for life" campaign, and its unhappiness over
Washington's failure to be more responsive to re-
quests for aid. The embassy notes, however, that
the Haitians did not shrink from taking PNG action
against Timmons' predecessor a year ago this month.
Finland: The US Embassy believes that Presi-
dent Kekkonen instigated the current effort to replace
the four-month-old caretaker government with a co-
alition cabinet enjoying a parliamentary majority.
Although differences still exist, prospects for such a
coalition to emerge from talks now under way between
the Agrarians and three other parties appear fairly
good. Kekkonen presumably feels that such a govern-
ment would strengthen his hand in dealing with the
Soviets, as well as forestall opposition demands for
a general election at a time when his Agrarian Party
is having trouble maintaining its unity,

*Portugal: The Portuguese Security Police (PIDE)
are alerted to cope with the "moderate" mass participa-
tion they expect during Communist-sponsored May Day
demonstrations in Lisbon, Oporto, and other cities.
The Patriotic Front of National Liberation (FPLN),
the Algeria-based organization which seeks to over-
throw Salazar, appears to have made a maximum
effort to launch its "first uprising" on 1 May, The
US Embassy also comments that the stage appears set
for some type of confrontation, and that while the se-
curity forces appear able to deal with any likely situa-
tion, the methods employed by the police will deter-
