4 B SUNDAY, UPI Correspondents Throughout the EDITOR'S NOTE: Whal lies ahead for the world In 11)64? Seeking the answer la this question, United Press In ternational correspondents throughout the glohe produced these look-ahead, on-the-spot reports. By RAYMOND LA1IR WASHINGTON - The year ahead in Washington will be filled with questions and uncer tainly about the course of gov ernment and politics. Wilh President Johnson just established in the While House, he and the Demncralic-lcd Con gress will try to handle domes tic and foreign affairs so as to win a vole of confidence In the nalional elections next Novem ber. Afler the political Iruce de clared when President Kennedy was assassinated, the Republi can opposition will return to the attack in an effort to discredit the Kennedy-Johnson programs and the Democratic record in Congress. The nexl six months will tell whether Johnson will have more success than Kennedy in gelling action from Congress. Johnson, once one of the shrewdest con- gressional leaders, is committed In the Kennedy policies, partic ularly Ihe unfinished civil rights and tax reduction legislation. Those two issues will extend inlo WM as Ihe biggest ones be fore ConRress. While dealing with domestic issues in a pnlilir.il year, John son is expected to si and by Ihe Kennedy foreign policies. These were aimed al easing tensions wilh Ihe Soviet Union, keeping Southeast Asia outside the Com munist camp and curing Ihe ills of NATO, Lalin America and Africa. By HENRY SHAPIRO MOSCOW The Soviet Union faces 11164 with a cautious hope Ihe cold war will warm up and Ihe improvement in East-West relations brought by the parlial nuclear lest ban pad will con tinue. Premier Nikita Khrushchev is expected lo try to avoid rocking the international boat while siz ing up Ihe new Johnson admin istration. This includes nol pro ripitaling a showdown over Ber lin although there may be some prohings. Little progress toward general disarmament is antici pated. A showdown world Commu nis! congress is in the cards at which the Kremlin-backing ma jority will move lo oust Peking from the Communist fold.

The resumption of diplomalic relations, severed last Septem ber, is only a matter of time. But both countries must still settle the major issue between them: the Philippine claim to Sabah (North Borneo), which is now a slate under Malaysia. The Philippines has asked for Malaysia's agreement that the claim be placed before the In ternational Court of Justice for adjudication as a pre-condilinn to the restoration of diplomatic ties. Malaysia appears reluctant to agree to any specific scltlemenl at present. But an eventual compromise probably a gen eral agreement to settle I h e claim without any specific pro cedure is expected. Should Ihis compromise come aboul and their relations are restored. Ihe two countries slill will have a long round of furl hcr diplomatic bargaining on how best to settle the claim. By R. E. STANNARD JR. DJAKARTA The economic impact of Indonesia's own cold war anainst Malaysia and Bril ain will shape Ihe coming year here.

Should t rder harrassmenl erunt inlo open warfare and rii recl conflict wilh Malaysia's western allies. Indonesia might well turn to Communist China for support. The anli-western tone of cur rent Indonesian politics and President Sukarno's theory of Ihe "new emerging forces" will inevitably strengthen Ihe radi cal leftist position internation ally at Ihe expense of moderate elements.

The Afro-Asian hloe will un doubtedly press its campaign against this counlry more vig orously than ever. Main targets will be to expel South Africa from the United Nath.ns and cut her oil supplies.
