DAILY BRIEF
23 JUNE 1967.
A committee of non-aligned states--
led by India and apparently encouraged
by the Russians--is working on a reso-
lution which calls for withdrawal of
troops, respect for sovereignty, and
appointment of a special UN representa-
tive to facilitate discussions on set-
tling other issues. Similar efforts by
Western European and Latin American
groups have yet to produce anything sub-
stantial.
Nearly all mediation efforts are
focusing on whether withdrawal of Israeli
forces can be linked with the other is-
sues at stake.
The announcement of the Glassboro
meeting was "greeted with relief" by
all sides at the UN last night.

2. India
Public order in West Bengal is de-
teriorating badly. The food distribu-
tion system has broken down and Commu-
nist-inspired lawlessness is spreading.
Mobs have been looting grain trucks and
trains, and the supply of food to famine
areas in northern India could well be
seriously affected.
The present West Bengal govern-
menti
\ is al-
most totally ineffective. Direct rule
by New Delhi is likely if it falls.
3. Aden The situation is about the same--
serious.
4. Mexico The gubernatorial election in the
state of Sonora on 2 July is likely to
5. Chile
produce a new wave of violence.r
The basic issue is still popular
resistance to the government's high-
handed methods in selecting a candidate
for governor.)
The Frei government's attempts to
appease the articulate Chilean left by
maintaining good relations with Moscow
have brought a steady increase in So-
viet influence in Chile. Ambassador
Dungan says that the Russians have ac-
quired access to a wide assortment of
news media, as well as academic, scien-
tific, and social circles. The Soviets
are now trying to woo the Chilean mili-
tary.
