The Soviet premier's speech marking
the 20th anniversary of the Nazi in--
vasion was even more categorical on
this point than the 15 June television
report. Khrushchev also indicated that
the Soviet reply to the US note on a

the US resumes testing the USSR would
follow suit. 50X1

the crates delivered recently
could contain MIG-19's, a fighter
rated below the US Century series
in performance. Only two other non-
bloc countries--the UAR and Iraq--
have received these jets.
By releasing two of the Communist labor
leaders arrested earlier, this month,
Paz has made a partial concession in
his violent dispute with Lechin. This
may be part of the price paid for
getting most of Bolivia's mines back
to work. Top officials of the
Bolivian Mining Corporation have,
meanwhile, departed for Washington
in quest of modernization funds.

Syrians provoked a series of incidents
on the Israeli-Syrian border on 19 and
21 June, interrupting several months
of relative quiet. Approaching
Israeli elections, scheduled for August,
may prompt Ben-Gurion to recoup lost
prestige by reinstituting his popular
"reprisal" policy against Arab incur-
sions. ( Map, last page)50X1

Balaguer, while intimating that re-
paired diplomatic relations will
strengthen both him and the forces
of liberalization, appears, in fact,
to doubt his capacity to influence
domestic developments.
