of Kompong Cham and Kratie provinces appears to be
reconciled to Communist control.

Despite past animosities, they appear to be coop

implied that the Khmer Rouge are
maintaining an organization distinct from the nom-
inally pro-Sihanouk front, but this seems unlikely.
Although differences within Communist ranks on the
Sihanouk issue undoubtedly persist, it is question-
able whether the North Vietnamese, who are the
guiding force in the Communist organizational ef-
fort in Cambodia, would allow or encourage old-
line anti-Sihanouk forces to maintain a separate
identity. The Vietnamese have made it clear that
Sihanouk's front is the vehicle for overt organi-
zation in the countryside.

USSR-Egypt: A trainload of new SA-3 equipment
has been observed moving into Cairo, but it is too
early to judge whether this is replacement material
or for new sites.
rain carried 38 SA-.3 missile transporters
and other exclusively SA--3 related equipment. No
sudden increase in shipping, which would be required
if equipment were being delivered for a substantial
number of new sites, has yet been observed.
This is the first sighting of SA-3 equipment
in transit since March, when hi s were
ivering such equipment
Those ships are believed to have brought
in the SA-3 equipment since reported to have become
operational. Recent seaborne military deliveries
to Egypt have slowed, although they are still above
the 1969 rate.

Fedayeen: The Palestinian commando organiza-
tions are meeting to try to work, out a common course
of action in response to current Middle East peace
moves,
The 115-man Palestine National Council began
an emergency meeting late yesterday in al-Wihdah
refugee camp in Amman. It was decided to convene
the council shortly after Egypt's and Jordan's ac-
ceptances of the US peace proposals to discuss
steps Palestinian fedayeen organizations could take
to counter Arab-Israeli peace negotiations.
Just before the meeting, the Popular Democratic
Front for the Liberation of Palestine, one of the
more extreme groups, called upon the council to
establish a revolutionary political body that would
provide a practical means for mobilizing popular
opposition to peace negotiations.
Sporadic and uncoordinated shooting incidents
had taken place in Amman for a few days prior to
the council meeting, when individual fedayeen
clashed with one another and with Jordanian police.
Moderate commando leaders and government officers
apparently were able to prevent the incidents from
provoking any larger outbreaks.
The council meeting most probably will result
in attempts to achieve greater fedayeen unity so
as to present a common front in the campaign against
the peace negotiations. However, it is unlikely
that this will long deter individual fedayeen or-
ganizations from followin their own courses of
action.

Argentina: Textile union leader Jose Alonso
was k y-men firing from two speeding cars
yesterday.
Alonso was the second of the country's top
labor leaders to be murdered in the past 14 months.
His violent death resembles that of his principal
rival, metalworkers' chief Augusta Vandor, who was
murdered in his office in June 1969.
Alonso was an experienced and intelligent
labor leader, who was particularly effective as a
moderator and conciliator and was respected by
nearly all sectors of labor and. of the Peronist
political movement. After the military takeover
in 1966, he demonstrated an ability to negotiate
with the government when he believed that he could
thereby obtain benefits for labor.
Alonso's relatively moderate attitude toward
the government earned him the bitter emnity of
some extremists within the labor movement. Ex-
tremist political groups who are determined to
create a climate of unrest also had sufficient
motives. Both sectors were suspected of being
behind Vandor's killing, but no proof has ever
been found. The method of Alonso's murder may
make it similarly difficult for authorities to
clarify this case.
C Several other union leaders reportedly have
also received anonymous threats in recent days
and are taking security recautions.

ing to carry out a new phase of terrorist and mil-
itary actions within the next few days. In the
southern half of the country,

the northernmost provinces, the Communists pose
more of a threat; they could deliver on some of
their promises to mount significant. attacks to
disrupt the 30 August elections and to mark impor-
tant North Vietnamese anniversaries next week.
Burma: Communist insurgents along the Chinese
border in the northeast are still able to maul
Burmese military forces, despite recent army gains
in the area. An army column was ambushed on 14
August by a superior force of about 500 insurgents
and forced to withdraw after sustaining heavy cas-
ualties. Follow-up government air strikes caused
considerable damage to civilian property and trig-
gered strong popular resentment that could further
complicate government military efforts in the area.

Egypt-Iran: The resumption of full diplomatic
relations tween the two countries is imminent,
according to Iranian officials in both Tehran and
Cairo. Egypt severed relations in 1960 because of
Iran's close contacts with Israel, but has recently
been advocating a resumption of ties. Cairo is
probably interested in countering Israeli influence
in Tehran as well as in attempting to draw Iran
closer to the Arab cause in the conflict with Is-
rael. For its part, Iran looks upon friendship
with Egypt as a counterbalance to the mutual antag-
onisms between Tehran and the radical Arab states
whose ideology it fears and distrusts.
'Uruguay: Terrorism by the Tupamaros continues
to increase. The group carried out three bank rob-
beries last week, stole $56,000 from a department
store on Monday, and have since bombed four radio
and television stations and a Montevideo newspaper
in order to gain greater public impact, The Tupa-
maros' determination to prove that they have weath-
ered the government's massive campaign against them
is likely to result in further small-scale but
headline-grabbing operations. They have given no
new hints about the fate of their two ptives or
about negotiations for their release. Meanwhile,
police in Montevideo shot and wounded (tree sus-
pected Tupamaros last night during a search for the
hostages. 31 1
