North Vietnam 3. Algeria Today's explosion at a floating restaurant in Saigon may be the begin- ning of a new Communist terrorist cam- paign. At last report, the waterfront blast had killed 14 persons (9 US) and wounded 28 (9 US). The Viet Cong also announced today that a captured US serg- eant had been executed in retaliation for the government's execution of a ter- rorist last Tuesday. A Soviet news cor- respondent who recently visited the Viet Cong is said to be predicting more at- tacks against US personnel and installa- tions. ? No serious public reaction to the new regime's austerity and mobilization program has been noted. 50X1 No major new developments were re- ported today.

Aidit is also scheduled to visit Peiping in late July, and Sukarno may also turn up there. Aidit's travel plans seem consistent with the Indonesian party's set policy of keeping up fraternal relations with both antagonists in the Sino-Soviet dispute. An assessment of the Communist Party's growing role in Indonesia is Annex 1. 50X1 The USSR is apparently stepping up its reconnaissance satellite program. Cosmos 69 was launched this morning, only ten days after Cosmos 68. The usual period has been about twice that. 50X1 50X1 The British may have stalled an Arab League effort to extend its influ- ence in the Persian Gulf area. The league had been offering the Trucial States economic aid. The Brit- ish opposed this, and the five local sheikhs had threatened to break their longstanding Protectorate Treaties with the US unless London acquiesced. Now, however, their ringleader--the Sheikh of Sharjah--has been ousted, almost certainly. with British connivance. The other four are likely to take the hint.

Jordan 9. Ecuador King Husayn told Ambassador Barnes yesterday that the French have said they are unable to fill his request for super- sonic jet fighters. The King said he is now appealing again for US assist- ance. He feels that he must have a con- tract by September, or bow to Arab League demands that he either buy Soviet fighters or allow other Arab states to station their Soviet-equipped air units on Jordanian soil. Local police have warned the US Consulate in Guayaquil of a plot by a pro-Communist youth organization to bomb the consulate and kidnap a US official. The police say they expect "city-wide" trouble during the next two weeks and are taking precautions. 10. Dominican Republic Loyalist police and military re- pulsed rebel attacks this morning in the town of San Francisco de Macoris, re- portedly killing seven and'wounding 40. The rebels, some of whom may have exfil- trated from the rebel stronghold in Santo Domingo, had a number of automatic weapons. There was trouble in this town back in May, but elsewhere, rebel hopes of incit- ing disorders have so far come to nothing. Last night, Imbert for two hours lectured a group of business and profes- sional leaders in Santiago on the suc- cesses of his government. His manner-- that of a chief of state--did not go down well, nor did his neglect of the efforts which members of his audience had been making to find some way back to national order. In Santo Domingo, representatives of the third-ranking Dominican political party in point of size, the conserva- tive National Civic Union, have provis- ionally accepted the Organization of American States' proposals, with a num- ber of general reservations. 50X1 Declassified in Part - Sanitized Copy Approved for Release 2015/07/24 : CIA-RDP79T00936A003800110001-3 Declassified in Part - Sanitized Copy Approved for Release 2015/07/24 : CIA-RDP79T00936A003800110001-3, jxi ANNEX 1 Communist Gains in Indonesia The Communist Party of Indonesia has substan- tially expanded its governmental influence during the past year. Sukarno seems to feel the need for haste in pressing toward his."SocialiSt" objectives for the country, and is increasingly relying on the Com- munist Party to help him. During the same period, the. military--hitherto the main brake on the Commu- .nists--has loyally supported Sukarno's policy, with the result that its ability and Will to resist Com- munist encroachment has been seriously eroded. The results today are: - Pro-Communists head several important ministries, and hold a number of provincial governorships and municipal and other local government offices throughout the country. - The Communists have demonstrated their power by their redent successful efforts against US offi- cial and economic enterprises. -The political fortunes of anti-Communist ele- ments have declined. The most prominent anti- ? Communist politicians are in eclipse; shorn of their once considerable administrative authority. Sukarno has in effect made anti-Communism a spe- cies of felony, thereby discouraging all but the most determined oppositionists. - The army has been forced to accede--after long opposition--to a limited program of training and arming a "people's militia." By Sukarno's.fiat, military doctrine taught in the army's schools now holds that "Western imperialists" rather than the Communist Chinese are the likely national enemy. Senior officers, hitherto pro-Western, are trimming their sails, or have already suc- cumbed to the new line. In the lower ranks, it is fair to conclude that significant Communist influence exists. 50X6 50X1 Declassified in Part - Sanitized Copy Approved for Release 2015/07/24 : CIA-RDP79T00936A003800110001-3 Declassified in Part - Sanitized Copy Approved for Release 2015/07/24 : CIA-RDP79T00936A003800110001-3 ?AJX1 ANNEX 1 (Cont'd) While Sukarno lives, the likely prospects are: - The trend toward increased Communist power under Sukarno's sponsorship will continue. - Sukarno will appoint more Communists and pro-Com- munists to national and local government offices. - Sukarno will probably ?continue harassing and grad- ually confiscating remaining US and other foreign economic interests. - The Indonesian economy will continue to deterio- rate seriously, though 80 percent of the popula- tion which lives a relatively self-sufficient rural life will not be greatly disturbed. In any case, Sukarno will not be gentle in using the, army and police to put down any civil disorders that may ensue. However, Sukarno's main object is probably not to create a Communist state in Indonesia, but rather to create a genuinely unified radical-nationalist community loyal to himself and his policies. He probably regards the Communist Party'as a fitting- instrument handy to his purposes. As long as the army remains essentially hostile to the Communists, Sukarno will feel no danger that they will threaten his personal dominance. For their part, the Commu- nists are probably counting on present gains to place them,in entrenched positions from Which they:cannot be dislodged when Sukarno.leaves.the scene, -2- 50X1 Declassified in Part - Sanitized Copy Approved for Release 2015/07/24 : CIA-RDP79T00936A003800110001-3 Declassified in Part - Sanitized Copy Approved for Release 2015/07/24 : CIA-RDP79T00936A003800110001-3 ?

Some of these programs may also be related to space launch systems. Additional test programs may become evident soon. For example, at the last Moscow parade we saw one new liquid-fueled and one new solid-fueled ICBM, neither of which has yet been identified in Tyuratam testing. From satellite photography we know of three types of soft launch pads recently completed at Tyuratam, and two types of hardened single silos under rapid construction there. (See graphic.) Also from photography we know that similar silos of both- types are being deployed in substan- tial numbers at operational sites. We are still sorting out and correlating these various developmental and deployment programs. They are clearly designed to give the Soviet Strategic Rocket Forces a more effective, less vulnerable ar- senal of long-range missiles. 50X1 50X1 50X1 50X1 50X1 50X1 Declassified in Part - Sanitized Copy Approved for Release 2015/07/24 : CIA-RDP79T00936A003800110001-3 Declassified in Part - Sanitized Copy Approved for Release 2015/07/24 : CIA-RDP79T00936A003800110001-3 TOP SECRET TOP SECRET Declassified in Part - Sanitized Copy Approved for Release 2015/07/24 : CIA-RDP79T00936A003800110001-3
