number of civilians were wounded in shooting incidents
in Santo Domingo.
Numerous government offices in the capital were
either closed or operated with reduced staffs and most
private concerns in the downtown El Conde area were
closed. While many employees probably remained home
to avoid becoming involved in expected disorders, the
strike appears to have some popular support in view of
the general feeling of repugnance over the shooting of
the students.
The decision by Bosch's PRD yesterday to back
the work stoppage 'added iinpetus to the strike call. In
an effort to present the strike as a "spontaneous move-
ment" against the military, PRD leaders plan to with-
hold any public announcement of support. Should Rivera
depart the country, the strikers will claim success and
Bosch apparently plans to step forward and hypocriti-
cally call for an end to the strike.

around the Dominican Revolutionary Party's (PRD)
radical labor leader, Miguel Soto. Policemen caught

to find a peaceful solution, if possible, to the civilian-
military confrontation. The President, accompanied by

A new chief of the national police, Colonel Jose
Morillo Lopez ,. was sworn in yesterday. Morillo is not
well thought of by senior Dominican military officers,
but US Embas officials consider him "the best avail-
able choice."

Mauritania: An outbreak of racial violence in
Nouakchott has greatly heightened tension and may
seriously strain the capabilities of the meager secu-
rity forces.
The current incidents,, reportedly planned in ad-
vance by aggressive young Moorish extremists, bean
on 8 February with attacks on Negro students in the
Nouakchott high schools. On 9 February, roving bands
of Moors attacked Negro houses in the native quarter
and pitched battles with clubs occurred.
*Although small-scale attacks on Negroes were
reported yesterday, troops were present in force in
the capital and appeared capable of limiting violence
there. The schools have been closed temporarily and
possibly for the remainder of the academic year.
The Negro minority--25 percent of the popula-
tion--holds most of the country's jobs requiring literate
or semi-skilled workers, including the civil service.
The French-speaking Negroes lack cohesion and leader-
ship, but appear to be united in their opposition to new
requirements on the use of the Arabic language and to
the militancy of the politically dominant Moors. If
they believe they are seriously threatened, they almost
certainly will seek help from their tribal relatives in
Senegal.
President Moktar Ould Daddah, who was out of
the country when the violence began, now has returned.
His firm handling of a Negro school boycott and a
threatened civil service strike early last month headed
off a crisis at that time.

West Germany - France: The Erhard - De
Gaulle meeting on 7 and 8 February took place in a
better atmosphere than expected but, failed to make
progress on basic issues between the two countries.
De Gaulle's assurance that he will raise the
question of German reunification during his June
visit to Moscow was probably the most satisfying
result from the German viewpoint. The French
leader asserted, however, that a solution to this
problem is possible only by overcoming Soviet dis-
trust of Germany.

The two leaders discussed the need for prac-
tical steps to increase European political cooperation
but apparently were unable to agree on how or when
to proceed. The Germans avoided detailed discussions
of NATO problems such as nuclear sharing, but they
gained the impression that the French timetable of
demands for changes in NATO has slowed down.
Although the Germans assert that they made it
clear to the French that agreement on EEC agricul-
tural regulations depended on French cooperation in
the Kennedy Round, there is nothing to indicate that
Paris is less insistent than before on prior settlement
of the agricultural issues. Moreover,
he French doubted the 25X1
urgency of the tracte an tariff negotiations and were
concerned over the effects on French industry of

Albania: Albania is showing interest in improving
relations with selected Communist and Western coun-
tries after a long period of self-imposed isolation.
Tirana has responded positively to friendly over-
tures from Rumania and Poland, and on 28 January
Poland raised its representation in Tirana to the am-
bassadorial level. The Albanian representative in
Budapest for the first time in recent years requested
and received an audience with a Hungarian Foreign Min-
istry official this month.
Albania has also moved to improve its relations
with Turkey, France, and Italy. The Albanian foreign
minister stated in a press interview in January that
Turkish-Albanian relations could be good despite dif-
fering political systems. Shortly thereafter the two
countries raised their diplomatic representations to the
ambassadorial level. Franco-Albanian cultural ex-
changes have increased, and Tirana's cultural and eco-
nomic relations with Italy have expanded.
There is no reason to believe that Albania's ac-
tions foreshadow a deterioration of its close relations
with--or dependence upon--Communist China. Tirana
has continued to parrot without letup the ideological
line set in Peking.
The Albanian moves may, however, be a reflec-
tion of Tirana's belief that Peking should do more than
it has to build up Albania's weak economy. There is
evidence that Tirana is dissatisfied with the amount of
aid Peking has offered in support of Albania's fourth
five-year plan (1966-70). Tirana may believe it can
profit economically through better relations with other
countries without jeopardizing its good standing with
Peking.

Greece: The protracted debate on the shaky

Stephanopoulos government's controversial tax meas-
ures may delay a crucial parliamentary test for as
much as three weeks. A rash of strikes and student
demonstrations during the last several weeks has cre-
ated an uneasy atmosphere in the country. Former
premier Papandreou's Center Union party is trying to
keep agitation going and has scheduled a mammoth
rally in Athens next week.
