*Panama: ,Marco Robles, the government candi-
date, has apparently been elected president of Panama.
Although final official figures are not yet available,
Robles seems to have won with a plurality of approxi-
mately 10,000 votes in a total of around 300,000. His
heavy plurality in most outlying provinces offset
Arnulfo Arias' narrower than expected victories in
Panama City and Colon.)
[Robles' pre-election deal with pro-Communist
labor adviser Carlos Ivan Zuniga, who won election
to the National Assembly, has thus paid off for both
in the Chiriqui, Arias' home province. There is
also reason to believe that Robles' last-minute cam-
paign efforts attracted many voters away from Oppo-
sition Alliance (OA) candidate Juan de Arco Galindo,
who ran a poor third. Pro-Castro deputy Thelma
King of the OA went down to defeat in Colon, where
Arias' slate apparently swept the board
For the present, there is little evidence that the
government rigged the election for Robles. There
are, however, indications that many Arias backers
may have been declared disqualified
[Panama City was quiet but tense yesterday, un-
certain over what the unpredictable Arias might do
in reaction to his defeat. His followers, however,
seem to be disorganized and may be intimidated by
the National Guard, which has so far handled the
election in a professional manner.

Algeria-Frances President Ben Bella, who has
been pressing for greater participation in France's
Algerian oil operations, may be on the verge of na-
tionalizing them.
French-Algerian economic talks have been under
way since early this year. The Algerians demand
51-percent ownership of oil installations, control
over marketing arrangements, and repatriation of
all proceeds from sale of Algerian oil abroad.
A new round in these negotiations began on 11 May.
French officials have indicated that, although Paris
would "give somewhat," it would not turn over to the
Algerians a majority interest in all the French-Al-
gerian companies.
Although nationalization might lead the French
to cut off their economic aid--$200 million this year--
and would endanger Algeria's present $50 million in
annual oil revenues, Ben Bella and others in the Alge-
rian Government are obsessed by a desire to break
the French economic "stranglehold" over the country.
During his recent visit to Moscow, Ben Bella
described the USSR as Algeria's "shield", against
"imperialist" pressures. Probably at his request,
Moscow has offered to set up a petroleum institute
and to provide technical assistance. It is unlikely,
however, that in the event of nationalization the USSR
would be willing to provide Algeria with the quantities
of aid now coming from France.

Kenya-Somalia: The struggle between Kenya
11
and Somalia for control of Kenya's Northeastern
Region is sharpening.]
~Somali terrorists, abetted by the region's Somali
inhabitants and sheltered and resupplied by the Somali
Republic, are gradually increasing their effectiveness.
They appear to have the edge over the available Kenya
security forces, which are o r ting near the limit
of their present capabilities~e
[I'n the past six months there have been 137 raids
or ambushes in which 26 Kenya troops and 35 Kenya
civilians have been killed. Over 1,000 armed ter-
rorists are operating within Kenya. Their increas-
ingly bold attacks now extend beyond the Northeastern
Regio~_-7
~Recent Somali broadcasts referring to the ter-
rorists as the "National Liberation Army" have par-
ticularly disturbed Nairobi. Mogadiscio had earlier
denied any connection with these armed raiders. To
reassert its authority in the disaffected Somali areas,
the Kenya cabinet has approved closing the border
completely and removing all people--at least 10,000
nom ads - -and livestock f rom a f if ty -mile -wide strip
along the 450-mile border
6somalia has already begun what appears to be a
major propaganda attack on both Kenya and the UK
British officials still administer the region and Brit-
ish military personnel provide technical and logistical
support for the Kenya forces. Mogadiscio may step
up support of the insurgents after a new Somal*
ernment is formed later this monthYe

NOTES
*Communist China - Canada: Peiping has con-
tracted for an additional 1.1 million tons of Canadian
wheat valued at $84 million, bringing this year's pur-
chases of Western grain to about 5 million tons. De-
livery is scheduled for the second half of the year on
terms similar to previous Sino-Canadian grain deals
--25 percent cash and the balance over 18 months.
If excessive spring rains in central and north China
persist, damage to grain crops may induce Peiping
to buy more grain. Last year Peip' ed about
5.9 million to Us of Western grain.
