The latest satellite photograph shows new con-
struction under way at two incomplete ABM launch
complexes near Moscow. This activity, begun since
mid-1970, is in each case in the immediate area of
a partially completed "Try Add" ABM radar on which
construction had been suspended for several years.
One complex is located southeast of Moscow in the
direction of China and some possible Polaris launch
areas; the other is southwest of the city toward
the Mediterranean.

PAKISTAN-INDIA
The Pakistani.press, under strict government
censorship, is,. sharpening its attacks on India.
Previously, in reporting action by the armed forces
in East Pakistan, the press focused attention on
the actions of "miscreants" and "anti-state ele-
ments"7-synonyms for the Bengali separatists--but in
recent days these terms have been accompanied by the
words "Indian infiltrators" Western observers have
occasionally reported seeing individuals who appeared
to be. Indian soldiers in mufti well inside East Pak-
istan..
Pakistan's campaign to raise the Indian
threat once again is having some impact
in West Pakistan, where Indian interven-
tion is seen increasingly as the cause of
the difficulties the armed forces are
having in rapidly re-establishing control
over the eastern province.
? New Delhi, for its part, has accused Pakistani
troops of "unprovoked firing" into Indian territory
on at least three occasions in recent days. The In-
dian protest, described as "strong," contained the
usual warning that if these actions do not stop,
the Pakistani Government will be "solely responsible
for any consequences."
As West Pakistani troops continue to ad-
vance into border areas previously held
by Bengali secessionists, the chances of
new and possibly more serious incidents
will increase.

FOR THE PRESIDENT ONLY
, YUGOSLAVIA
Speaking to a political gathering Wednesday in
the autonomous province of Kosovo, Tito lashed out
at the narrow self-interest of republic officials
who undermine national unity, balk at financial as-
sistance to underdeveloped regions, and resist the
idea of a unified internal economic market. He said
that those who continue this behavior will be ex-
pelled from the party.
Tito has been on a country-wide speaking
tour to promote support for his reform
programs, which will delegate further eco-
nomic and political power to the republics
and autonomous areas. His words were
aimed primarily at Croatian officials who
have recently been linked with separatist
extremists abroad and who have also strongly
opposed diversion of their resources to
areas outside their republic. Other re-
publics, however, have also vigorously
pressed their own specific objectives and
goals. Having become frustrated over the
Zack of cooperation in implementing his
programs, Tito apparently decided to un-
burden himself in Kosovo, the most under-
developed region in Yugoslavia, and one
which has been earmarked for massive as-
sistance from the wealthier republics.
Tito has said that the Communist party
will be reorganized after pending consti-
tutional changes go into effect on 31 Au-
gust. His concluding remarks in Kosovo
that a party presidium meeting will be
called shortly and remain in session untiZ
full unanimity is reached are a clear in-
dication that he is determined to make
regional interests subordinate to the
Yugoslav federation.

NOTES
Egypt-USSR: We now have satellite photography
confirming the presence of Foxbat air-
craft in Egypt. Three of the aircraft were seen at
Cairo West airfield.
Jordan: The fedayeen withdrawal from Amman has
left the army in a position of commanding advantage,
and the chance of serious armed resistance grows
less every day. Thorough house-to-house searches,
which may continue for weeks, are enabling the army
to secure areas formerly considered irretrievable.
As many as 1,500 to 1,700 commandos and 150 trucks
carrying personnel and equipment already have left
Amman.
Communist China: The Chinese recently have ex-
panded naval operations in the area of southern
Hainan and the Paracel Islands. Satellite photog-
raphy shows four R-class diesel-
powered torpedo-attack submarines at Yulin Naval
Base on southern Hainan Island. We believe that a
total of six R-class submarines have been produced
at Canton and assigned to the South Sea Fleet.
Haiti: Duvalier's failure to appear at his
public birthday Observance Wednesday is the clear-
est evidence to date that he.is,seriously ill. In
mid-March he collapsed for the third time in. five
months, and he has not been seen in public since
then. Early this week Haitian officials sought to
scotch rumors of his incapacity by predicting that
he would appear on his birthday. Highly placed .
Haitians are doubtless planning for various contin-
gencies, but ,no signs of general alarm or uneasi-
ness have yet appeared.
