PRESIDENT'S INTELLIGENCE CHECKLIST--21 APRIL 1962
1. ARGENTINA:
THE LATEST ACT IS STILL BEING PLAYED OUT. THE COMMANDER
OF THE CAMPO DE MAYO GARRISON NEAR BUENOS AIRES, WHO CALLED
OUT HIS TROOPS IN SUPPORT OF GUIDO ANDIN OPPOSITION TO THE 50X1
MILITARY LEADERS WHO HAVE BEEN FORCING GUIDO'S HAND, HAS BEEN
NAMED WAR SECRETARY BUT HAS NOT BEEN SWORN?IN. GUIDO HAS
CALLED A MEETING OF MILITARY COMMANDERS FROM THROUGHOUT THE
COUNTRY, EVIDENTLY INA BID FOR SOME KIND OF CONSENSUS. THE
PRO?GUIDO FORCES APPEAR TO HAVE THE UPPER HAND IN BUENOS
AIRES, BUT KEY MILITARY ELEMENTS ELSEWHERE HAVE YET TO DE?
CLARE THEMSELVES. PENDING THE OUTCOME OF THE CONFERENCE OF
MILITARY COMMANDERS, THE ISSUE IS STILL OPEN.

2. ADOULA DAMAGED BY TSHOMBE PULL?OUT:
HE PROBABLY FACES SOME BAD MOMENTS WHEN HE RETURNS
TO LEOPOLDVILLE, WHERE TSHOMBE'S DEPARTURE IS BEING VIEWED AS
AN "ESCAPE." HIS POLITICAL OPPONENTS IN PARLIAMENT ARE CLAM?
ORING FOR AN OFFICIAL EXPLANATION AND MAY TRY TO FORCE A VOTE
OF CONFIDENCE.
/GENERAL MOBUTU CONTINUES TO STAND BY ADOULA.
3. SOVIET WALKOUT THREAT AT GENEVA:
ZORIN'S "WARNING" YESTERDAY OF A WALKOUT WHEN US
TESTS ARE RESUMED RUNS COUNTER TO WHAT A NUMBER OF BLOC DELE?
GATES, INCLUDING SOVIETS, HAVE BEEN SAYING
THE PIC?
TURE MIGHT BE DIFFERENT IF THERE WERE A GOOD CHANCE THAT THE
NEUTRALS WOULD GO ALONG IN PROTEST, BUT PRESENT SIGNS ARE THAT
THEY WILL NOT. HOWEVER, THE RUSSIANS ARE LIKELY TO DECLARE
THEMSELVES OUT OF ANY FURTHER TEST?BAN TALKS, WHATEVER THE NEU?
TRALS DO.
4, NOTES:
A. THE SOVIETS HAVE PROPOSED A MEETING IN EAST BER?
LIN BETWEEN OUR BERLIN COMMANDANT AND THEIRS TO DISCUSS THE IM?
PASSE OVER INTERSECTOR CROSSINGS BY THE TWO. THEY SAY THERE
WILL BE NO INSPECTION OF THE US COMMANDANT'S PARTY BY THE EAST
GERMANS, THEY ARE HYPERSENSITIVE ABOUT ANY PUBLICITY, AND ARE
NOT SURE YET HOW THE ISSUE CAN BE SOLVED WITHOUT LOSING FACE
FOR ULBRICHT.

B. WITH SALAN IN A PARIS JAIL, FRENCH SECURITY
OFFICIALS ARE NOW BRACING FOR AN ALL-OUT, DESPERATION MOVE
BY THE OAS IN ALGERIA.
C. THE COVERING ANNOUNCEMENT ISSUED YESTERDAY
ON THIS YEAR'S SING-SOVIET TRADE AGREEMENT WAS BRIEF, PER-
FUNCTORY, AND AS WE READ IT, NO TOKEN OF ANY THAW IN THEIR
RELATIONSHIP. WE LOOK FOR THEIR TRADE THIS YEAR TO DIP TO
ABOUT .11AIR OF THE 1959 PEAK LEVEL.
? D. A SOVIET ICBM TEST LAUNCH SEEMS TO HAVE
FAILED YESTERDAY. THERE ARE INDICATIONS THAT IT WAS A CAT-
EGORY 7C" VEHICLE, LIKE THE ONE LAUNCHED SUCCESSFULLY LAST
WEDNESDAY, WHICH WOULD MEAN THAT THIS TYPE IS MAINTAINING AN
UNEVEN RECCaI4.
