The Soviets are moving ahead rapidly
on their huge new space launch facility
at Tyuratam.
The latest satellite photography
shows the base for a massive swiveling
service tower at one of the two identical
launch pads. This tower--expected to be
well over 300 feet high--will pivot up to
the pad to fuel and service the booster
rocket, and then swing back before the
launch. (See sketch)

The French press is saying De Gaulle
will soon announce his intention to visit
Canada this year. We believe such an an-
nouncement could come after Sunday's
elections. De Gaulle would most likely
show up for France's "national day"--
25 July--at Montreal's EXPO 67, and also
visit Quebec City and Ottawa.
Pearson might try to promote a meet-
ing between President Johnson and De
Gaulle. He would figure to be included
in any meeting on Canadian soil.

A committee of Congress today voted
50X1
to strip Sukarno of his title of Presi-
dent. This is farther than Suharto
probably wanted to go
50X1
We still expect 50X1
he will try to keep Congress from putting
Sukarno on trial.
