		From an information viewpoint, the makeup of Varona's approved civilian-military junta is interesting, since it reveals for the first time willingness on the part of the Prio forces to join with the Castro-Ortodoxo movement in setting up a provisional government.
		Presumably, this junta would not come into existence until an armed forces coup had unseated Batista in lieu of a Castro-directed movement headed by a general strike.
		The suggested list of members of a civilian-military junta is a good one and this or one similar including possibly a labor representative might be named if Castro were unsuccessful in imposing his plan of installing a Government controlled entirely by his forces.
