j Iran. The appointment of Amir Asadollah Alam j
as prime minister is a clear indication of the Shah's j
intention to maintain closer control over government
operations than he wa.s able to exercise during Amini's %
tenure. The 4.4-year-old Alam is in the Shah's en-
j tourage, is director of the $130,000,000 Pahlavi Foun- j
dation set up by the Shah, and is one of Iran's largest

Jordan: Prime Minister Wasfi Tal is exploiting
the recent conviction of two senior officers on cor-
ruption charges in his campaign to assent civilian
control over the army. He has initiated an investiga-
tion into another alleged. case of army corruption and
plans soon to reorganize the military command system.
The army has enjoyed a privileged. position as the
grin ipal instrument for maintaining the security of
the regime. Army Commander-in-Chief Ma.jalli op-
poses any reduction of army authority and. has resisted
Tal's proposals for relaxing internal security controls.
A possible coalition of Majalli and his army support-
ers with conservative politicians and prominent mer-
chants who oppose Tal's other reform proposals would.
provide formidable opposition to the prime minister's
program'
King Husayn strongly supports Tal's objectives of
elimi ating corruption and increasing political free-
dom, hoping thereby to increase popular support of
the regime. However, the King also likes Majalli and
needs the army's loyalty. Tal's vigorous efforts to
subordinate the army to cabinet control may eventuall
force Husayn to choose between the two men.

Congo: UN representative Gardiner flew to Elisa-
j bethville on Jul intendin to tell T homb6 that he
y g s t
question of UN roadblocks around. that city could be
discussed only in the context of an over-all Congo set-
tlement. Gardiner believes Tshomb~ wants to force
the UN to remove all its roadblocks, and that he in-
stigated the 17 July attack by Katangan women to that
end. The UN reinforced its barricade involved, in that
incident and is sending in 400-500 more troops from
Leapoldville~The mood of Africans and. Europeans
in Elisabethville is reported, to be dan Brous and
further incidents are likel .

Belgium-Congo:/ Ambassador MacArthur in
Brussels considers unlikely that the Union Miniere
du Haute Katanga (UMHK), the principal Belgian
mining company in Katanga, can be persuaded to
suspend its payments to Tshomb~. MacArthur re-
cently told high officials of UMHK and its parent
company that the outcome of the Congo crisis could
be fatal to Belgian interests there, that world, opinion
blamed Katanga's continued secession on its "massive"
UMHK revenues, and. that they should not count on UN
abstention from force in achieving integration. He
urged a declaration acknowledging UMHK''s legal ob-
ligations to Adoula's central government even if taxes
and export duties are paid, to Tshomb~ under duress.
The UMHK officials rejected MacArthur's arguments,
pleading the exposed position of their installations and
employees, and. said acknowledgment of Adoula might
give Tshomb~ a pretext to nationalize UMHK. Mac-

Tshomb~ rather than run the risks they cite.: ~

Spain: Foreign Minister Castiella indicated to
US Ambassa or Woodward on 17 July that the Spanish
Government is actively preparing a number of re-
forms in its institutions and. policies, and that he ex-
pects the recent reorganization of the cabinet to lead
to "accelerated economic, social, and political prog-
ress:' According to Castiella, decree laws to be
issued later this year will modernize the Cortes;
drastically change the syndicate system, which "ob-
viously has not met the needs of labor"; and "gradually
liberalize" 'the government's policies toward press
censorship and the treatment of Protestants.

These changes probably are being made chiefly
in or er to offset Spain's reputation throughout Eu-
rope as a reactionary state and thus improve its
chances for eventual admission to the Common Mar-
ket. The proposed reforms are also concessions to
the growing domestic demand for improvement of
social and economic conditions. It is evident, how-
ever, that Franco does not intend to bestow an effec-
tive political authority upon the Cortes or to extend
civil liberties to a degree that could generate popular
pressures endangering his regime.]
Castiella also mentioned thatV-rice Premier Munoz
Grander was given enlarged authority over the armed
services in order to facilitate the renegotiations for
an extension of US base rights in Spain--which expire
in September 1963. The minister also offered to
"assist" the US in its Azores base rights negot'
when he visits Lisbon within the next few week~-
