President Segni reportedly is considering first calling on Aldo Moro to try to reconstitute a center- left coalition. He apparently reasons that since none of the responsible leaders within the Moro govern- they should be given a chance to patch together a viable government. It seems unlikely, however, that a simple re- construction of the old coalition will be possible. Some reshuffling of cabinet posts would, be almost certain, and some rephrasing of party commitments will be essential. Vice Premier Nenni, for example, is reportedly anxious to return to active leadership of the Socialist Party, and rebellious wings of both the Socialist and the Christian Democratic parties will have to be reckoned with. In view of the crisis the Christian Democratic national congress, which had been scheduled for I July, has been postponed. If Moro fails to re-establish a coalition, Segni ment desired or were prepared for what happened 11- _- -A "AA%'n'.L'LV'.L %~JLIJL 10111MUL "4~L11uu.L - auu leader, P" erhaps Interior Minister Emilio Taviani, with the same objective. If all efforts to reconstitute a center-left coalition fail, an all - Christian Dem- ocratic caretaker government is probably in prospect. (continued) Approved For Release 2008/07/17: CIA-RDP79T00975A007700400001-2 25X1 Partly because of the extent to which current leaders are committed to the center-left concept and partly because of the prospect of Communist electoral gains, every effort will probably be made to reach an accommodation short of elections. extremists can be expected to increase their ef- forts to promote political instability. Just before the fall of the government, neo-Fascists, some Liberals, Monarchists, and other rightists had reportedly been organizing a "national demonstration" in the hope of provoking a counter-demonstration from the Commu- nists. The intention would then be to stimulate a political shift to the right in reaction to a real or alleged Communist danger. I Communist Party chief Togliatti has reportedly ordered his followers to campaign for a "new policy and a new majority:' The Communist-led General Labor Confederation will almost certainly foment new strikes, which could lead to violence.

Dar-es-Salaam announced on 25 June that all dip- lomatic missions in Zanzibar- -presumably including the East German Embassy--are to be reduced to con- sular level after 1 July. The same day Kambona, em- phasizing that he was acting as the United Republic's foreign minister, visited Zanzibar and installed an able Tanganyikan in the job that pro- Communist Babu- - still referring to himself as Zanzibar?s foreign min- ister--had been filling. Earlier last week, while four of Zanzibar's most ardent pro-Communist leaders were absent, another tough, able Tanganyikan took up a ministerial post close to impressionable Vice President Karume. At the same time, some fifteen Tanganyikan officials began merger talks with their colleagues in various Zanzibar ministries and the security forces. Karume has removed two of the three pro-Com- munist commissioners on Pemba Island following com- plaints about their brutal tactics, and a number of po- litical prisoners on Zanzibar have been released. President Nyerere has told the West German am- bassador in Dar-es-Salaam that reduction of the East German Embassy in Zanzibar to a consulate was "the limit of his ability" Nyerere, who pointed out that he had "inherited" this embassy and was not in a position "to solve the German problem," promised that the East Germans would not be admitted to Tanganyik3J Although West Germany would prefer to see East Ger- many represented by nothing higher than a trade mis- sion, Bonn may find a way to accept Nyerere's formula. log 29 June 64 DAILY BRIEF j Approved For Release 2008/07/17 :CIA-RDP79T00975A007700400001-2 / mentous transfer of power from Nehru *India: LPrime Minister Shastrils illness--de- scri6e-dmerely as "exhaustion" requiring a period of complete rest- -introduces uncertainties at a time when the air has. barely cleared f roln the mo- MEN El sox/ 0 Eit seems likely that the pace of his administra- tion, rather than the administration itself, will be the major immediate casualty.

Former political leaders have been released from the "civil isolation" imposed on them after the Baath seized power a year ago, many political detainees have been released from prison, and discussions are now in progress concerning the formation of some sort of limited "national front" government. It is unlikely, how-ever, that the Baathists will allow non-Baathist elements any meaningful role in the government.
