PANAMA PRESIDENTIAL SHOO-IN FEARS ALLIES
PANAMA (AP) - It aeema
certain Arnulfo Arias will be
elected president next May—tils
supporters are said to be al-
ready pitting his overthrow.
That’s precisely the way the
1968 election scene it currently
portrayed in this capital of polit-
ical intrigue.
Ariaa, it is being said openly,
has more to fear from his new
enemies. It’s the kind of situ*
tioir that once inspired someone
to call Panama the "double-
crossroads of the world."
As a result, apprehensions
over another political explosion
are growing here and next door
in the U.S.-govemed Canal
Zone.
Disturbances In January 1964
involving Panamanian rioters
and Canal Zone police and U S
troops, aroused strong national-
.. ,. lstic pressures that subsequent-
political allies then from his old (y ^ to negotiations for a new
Panama Canal treaty. Still not
ratified by either countrV, the
new accord partly meet* Pans

the Canal Zone status and ad-
ministration of the strategic
waterway.
Current pre-election amjety Is
the product of an alliance in De-
cember between Ariaa add the
powerful presklent-makers of
Panamanian politics—the same
ones who violently opposed and
defeated him in 1964 elections.

has merely thrown in with one

tion Is why.
This tiny republic connecting
North and South America hai
known unusual alliances in the
past, but none perhaps like this
It had Its beginnings In late
October when the eight-party
government coalition began
shopping for a successor
President Marco Robles.
Roblei fissured the coalition
by picking David Samudlo, hU
reform-minded finance minis-
ter. Four groups, in which most
of the powerful elite Is concen-
trated, refused to go along. Ih
the weeks after, Robles changed
his mind several times, even re-
jecting his first choice, Samu-
dk>, at one point. He and four
other factions in the govern-
ment coalition finally agreed to
stay with Samudio.
The rebel elite groups at first
gave some consideration to
Raul Arango, first vice presi-
dent, as their standard bearer.
Then in a move that rocked the
political community they (hose
archrival ot past elec-
and Armed a formidable
combine called National Union
These factions and Ariaa' own
Panamenista party polled tome
70 per cent 6f the vote in 1964.
Powerful conservatives in the
government coalition found Sa-
mudio unpalatable, it is said,
because he was "'too radically
reformiat" and advocated
changes in the banking and tax
system that could frighten for-
eign and domestic Investors.
Spotlight: investors.
Disputing this, persons in A
position to know say the presi-
dent-makers unhesitatingly and
successfully backed a luckluster
hut pliant Robles in 1964. They
were really fearful, these
sources say, of Samudto’s tax
reforms and the probability
they might not be able to ex-
tract from him "'an adequate
working arrangement."
They were finally forced ihto
the Arias alliance, it is said, by
a cohviction that without the
help of other parties in the gov-
ernment coalition they could
elect no raie.
Samudio aroused the antipa-
thy of Panama’s wealthy ruling
classes by taking Alliance for
