1. Soviet Northern The Soviet Northern Fleet Missile
Fleet missile Test Range, recently extended to 2,000
test nautical miles, was again active on
30 May. This was the fourth valid launch
from the Kola Inlet area in the past
six weeks. We cannot establish that this
missile, which we believe to have been
ballistic, was launched from a submarine,
but at least two of the earlier missiles
apparently were. As in the earlier in-
stances,/

suggests that a 2,000-nautical-
mile flight was intended. We do not
know the degree of success adhieved.

3. Bloc leaders'
conference
4. Venezuelan revolt
We expect the meeting of Soviet
Bloc leaders which opens in Moscow on
Wednesday to produce a strong statement
in the name of the Warsaw Pact warning
that time for solving the Berlin question
is fast running out. In the economic
field, we expect a blast at the Common
Market and a renewal of Khrushchev's
recent call for an international trade
conference. Other issues will be discussed,
particularly relations with Yugoslavia,
and statements on nuclear testing, dis-
armament, and Laos may well be issued.
Both sides suffered heavy casualties
in this week end's uprising at Puerto
Cabello. The revolt, which we believe
to have been part of a large-scale
Communist plot to overthrow the govern-
ment, was apparently triggered prema-
turely by government arrests of leftists
suspected of planning just such a move.
The government claims to have the situa-
tion at Puerto Cabello under control,
but press reports indicate that fighting
is still going on. We are not sanguine--
that the 50X1
quelling of this revolt will give 50X1
much of a breathing spell from further
violence in other parts of the country.

5. Soviets protest The Soviet Foreign Office went out
US high altitude of its way yesterday to call the attention
tests Of our Embassy in Moscow to yesterday's
strong publio statement against our
scheduled high altitude nuclear test.
Moscow hoped by such a statement td
capitalize on world-wide fears of the
effects of such a test. By accusing
the US of being the first to extend "war
preparation" to outer space, Moscow is
also laying the groundwork for justify-
possible high-altitude tests of.

NOTES
A. In Laos, matters remain in a state of suspended animation pending
the outcome of Souvanna's visit to the King today and the three
princes' meeting still scheduled for June 8.
B. The OAS has declared that the unofficial truce of the past few
days will end tonight in view of the provisional Algerian gov-
ernment's failure to respond to overtures from the European com-
munity.
C. Polish Foreign Minister Rapacki apparently will go through with
plans to visit Cuba. He intimated as much to Ambassador Cabot
this week end, and the Polish press has now announced he will
leave on 9 June,
D. Soviet monitoring of our Pacific tests involves not only the two
research ships and two trawlers now near the test area
