ity arm COPCON blamed the Communists and right-
wing "reactionaries" for much of the country's politi-
cal crisis.
A statement criticized "Communist attempts at di-
recting the aopparatus of state" and said the Com-
munists and their satellite party had proved "incap-
able of solving local problems" in the municipalities
and rural areas where they seized power soon after
the revolution.
The COPCON splinter statement also said the docu-
ment presented. by Lourenco and the other officers
"could be taken advantage of by the right wing" de-
spite its authors' intentions.
GONCALVES, meanwhile, huddled with 20 members
of the Revolutionary Council, the top military body
under the junta.
The council was meeting without nine of its memn-
bers responsible for circulating the dissident document
late last week as anti-Communist rioting rocked the
nation.
The meeting was believed to be an 11th-hour attempt
to sideline the nine and slow down the moderate mili-
tary opposition to Goncalves.
