France-NATO: The rift between France and the
NATO allies over the status of French forces in Ger-
many has widened.
In July the French rejected two proposals of the
Fourteen that outlined a framework under which nego-
tiations should proceed. A new proposal made recently
has also been rejected by the French, even though it
followed a procedure endorsed publicly last June by all
the foreign ministers, including France's Couve de
Murville. In rejecting the most recent proposal, the
French member of the council claimed that Couve's
June endorsement had been made without President de
Gaulle's approval and was now being "withdrawn. "
The Fourteen appear divided on how they should
now proceed. They could call a special foreign min-
isters' meeting to attempt to resolve the issue, or
they could have their permanent representatives on
the council instruct SACEUR and let the French issue
their own instructions to their military representative.
On the other hand, they could do nothing and allow the
interim French and German arrangements covering the
status of French forces in Germany suffice for the
present. 25X1

Brazil, A political showdown between President
Castello Branco and members of Congress is devel-
oping which could result in the President's recessing
Congress.
Adauto Cardoso, president of t1 e lower house, has
refused to accept Castello Branco's authority to cancel
congressional mandates without ratification of such
moves by the Congress itself. Cardoso has allowed
the six congressmen whose mandates were voided on
12 October to continue their normal functions and has
permitted them to thwart arrest by remaining in the
Congress building.

The government has reportedly delivered a 48-
hour ultimatum to Congress to cease its defiance or
face severe reprisals- I
y their defiance o
the President, opponents o e regime may hope to
em hasize the arbitrary nature of the government.

 NOTES
25X1
Israel-Syria: Israeli Prime Minister Eshkol de-
clared Tuesday that "there will be war" if border inci-
dents do not cease. Nevertheless, yesterday's clash be-
tween Israeli security forces and Syrian infiltrators on
the Israeli-Syrian border probably will not draw Israeli
retaliation as long as the UN is still seized with Israel's
complaint against Syria. Thereafter, continued terrorism
will almost certainly draw a strong military retaliation
from Israel, whatever the outcome in the UN. F 25X1

Uruguay: Public uneasiness is increasing as the
drawn-out labor crisis continues. Communist-led
unions have not ceased their agitation as the govern-
ment had expected, following the conclusion of the
congressional session on 15 October. They are now
trying to force the convening of a special session of
congress to push through additional wage and labor
benefits. The government is reluctant to take strong
measures to halt labor unrest because of the 27 No-
vember general elections. Although the US Embassy
knows of no moves being planned b the military,
coup rumors have begun again, 25X1
