United Nations: There is a prospect for a head-on
collision between the UN and the Republic of South
Africa, which may result in South Africa's withdrawal.
P50
Forty-nine Afro-Asian members have tabled a reso-
lution on South
-West Africa in the General Assemblv.
Despite legal and constitutional problems, the resolution
will probably win enough support for passage.
It states that the General Assembly has decided to
take over the South African mandate and will assume
direct responsibility for administration in South-West
Africa. A UN administering authority is proposed
which would recommend to the next General Assembly
a date for the territory's independence. The resolu-
tion calls for the Security Council to take steps to en-
able the administering authority to discharge its func-
tions.
Attempts by the West and more moderate Africans
to win support for a milder resolution have so far failed.

Congo (Kinshasa): President Mobutu continues to
press his campaign against internal opponents and sup-
posed external threats.
As many as 3,000 Katangan mutineers who escaped
from Kisangani (Stanleyville) iast.week-end have been
reported in the Punia area. The Katangan commander
reportedly wants to negotiate the surrender of his unit
and their return home, but Mobutu is demanding that the
Katangans surrender unconditionally. Congolese Army
units supported by both French- speaking and South Afri-
can mercenaries are setting up roadblocks and ambushes
along possible escape routes.

The militar governor of troubled Sud-Katanga Prov-
ince, is apprehensive
about his ability to hancile the populace and is cautioning
Mobutu not to execute or imprison Governor Munongo,
who has been detained in Kinshasa. The US Consul in
Lubumbashi (Elisabethville) comments that if Mobutu
moves carefully, he may be able to get away with the
removal of the governor and other officials.
In New York, Congolese Foreign Minister Bomboko
has rounded up African supporters for a UN Security
Council resolution condemning Portugal for allegedly
allowing pro- Tshombe mercenaries to use Angola as
a base for operations. Bomboko appears impervious
to suggestions that Kinshasa's evidence is weak and
that the resolution invites a strong Portuguese rebuttal
and could also produce economic countermeasures.

Panama: Street demonstrations in Panama City
are likely to accompany today's opening session of
the National Assembly.
Protests are scheduled by students, urban slum
dwellers, and the Christian Democratic Youth organiza-
tion. The inauguration of a new assembly session has
traditionally sparked a heavy offensive by administra-
tion critics.
The most serious potential threat to the govern-
ment is posed by opposition leader and ex-President
Arnulfo Arias the only figure in Panama with a mass
following.
Arias has altered his policy of watchful waiting to one
of cautious encouragement of antiregime actions, in-
cluding those of extremist-led student groups.
This tactic appears designed to. erode public sup-
port for the Panamanian president rather than to pre-
cipitate his immediate downfall. In all probability,
Arias does not believe he yet has a clear-cut issue
which would ensure popular backing for a full- scale
confrontation with the government. He is hoping such
an issue will be provided later by dissatisfaction with
the canal settlement now being negotiated with the US.
In the basically unstable situation in Panama,
violence could break out at any time. The Robles
government has consistently been firm in dealing with
disorders and the National Guard can be counted on to
act quickly if trouble develops in the next few days.

NOTES
Nigeria: The constitutional conference recessed
yesterday for two weeks. Delegates are to return to
their regions to discuss the current proposals involving
a strong central government and creation of several
small states from the present Eastern and Northern re-
gions. Lawlessness and violence continue in the North,
however, and could trigger a complete breakdown in
the dialogue and end all early chance of agreement.
Brazil: Congress is to select the next president
on Monday in an election in which retired Marshal
Arthur da Costa e Silva is unopposed. He will serve
a four-year term beginning 15 March 1967. The pro-
government party holds a substantial majority in both
houses, and even some opposition members may defy
their party's policy of abstention and vote for Costa
e Silva. Students in Sao Paulo have called for labor
support for protest demonstrations on Monday against
the "repressive military dictatorship. " Similar demon-
strations may occur in other cities.
