Greece a. Political maneuvering in the wake of Karamanlis' resignation threatens to end in the breakdown of the leading non-Communist parties. b. The King is trying to lure elements of both parties into a transitional cabinet with authority to revise the controversial election law before new elections are held. c. The leaders of the two larg- est parties oppose the King's solu- tion, but may not be able to hold their followers in line.

Brazil d. Should the King succeed, the two parties would fragment and a period of intense political jockey- ing for personal power would follow. a. Goulart is letting it be known in various ways that he in- tends to get rid of his anti-Commu- nist war minister, General Kruel. c. He has promised leftist leaders that he will drop Kruel, and the press is now keeping the subject well covered with stories of allegations and denials. All of which looks to us like maneuvering preliminary to the actual deed.

South Vietnam No real progress was made at today's meeting between the government commission and Bud- dhist leaders, although the Buddhists say they de- tected some sign of give in the government position. The meeting was concerned mostly with procedural matters, however. It is not even clear that the Buddhists have been able to arrange the meeting be- tween their leader Khiet and Diem which they are seeking. Co 50X1 USSR-Iraq Moscow has now agreed to substitute con- ventional air and ground force items for the SAM project suspended by the new Iraqi government. Moscow had earlier declined ?? 0- 50X1 WA1 50X1 D. Common Market French officials see continued Ger- man opposition to further integration of agriculture as a greater problem for EEC than the question of Britain's relationship to the community ever was.

Laos Communist forces have surrounded the Phoumi VEFFIson at Attopeu, an isolated town in southeastern Laos near the South Vietnam border. Elimination of this garrison would add to the security of Communist supply and infiltration routes to the Viet Cong. Phoumi calls the situation "very grave" and has called for an ICC investigation. F. West Europe British, Germans, and Scandinavian socialist party and labor leaders plan to meet in Stockholm next month. Their purposeT will be to get the European unity movement back on the tracks. Senator Humphrey and Walter Reuther have been in- vited. G. USSR space operation The Soviet space operation is now underways A vehicle, apparently the first of at least two, was launched at 0800 EDT.
