MAJOR PROBLEMS
SOVIET AFFAIRS
An uneasy calm prevails in Czechoslovakia. Many people
gathered in the downtown area of Prague last night, but
there was no evidence of public protest over the regime
crackdown on "antisocialist" criticism. Rumors were plenti-
ful as hard information was difficult to come by; there has
been no confirmation of press reports that Soviet Deputy
Foreign Minister Semyenov handed the Czechs a note threaten-
ing that Soviet forces would restore order if the Czechs
did not.
Party boss Dubcek made a radio-television address to-
day. First reporting indicates it to be a "more in sorrow
than in anger" speech warning the people that further out-
bursts will take the country back to last August. Addi-
tional information on the speech will be provided in the
Late Notes tomorrow morning.
Continuing search of satellite photography for Soviet
ICBM deployment shows that construction has been started on
three more SS-11 groups of ten silos each during the last
six months. All known SS-11 groups now under construction
should be completed by mid-1970. At that time there will
be 780 operational SS-11 launchers.
