Cuba-USSR 2. Cuba- missile sites a. ?We believe Cuba is probably. getting IL-28 twin jet light bombers. The IL-28 has a combat radius of about 700 miles with a bomb load of 4400 pounds and external fuel tanks; its top speed is around 400 mph. b. aJ Soviet ship which arrived in Cuba about 1 October carrying ten aircraft crates identi- cal to the distinctive, specially designed crates used to ship IL-28s c. Several weeks would be required before these bombers could be assembled and made operable. d. We have one shaky piece of evidence suggesting that Spanish-speaking pilots are receiv- ing training in the IL-28 in the USSR. a. two more surface-to-air missile sites, making a total of twenty. b. At least some, possibly many of these sites could now be operational, but we are not sure of this yet. .en I -r Declassified in Part - Sanitized Copy Approved for Release 2015/07/24 : CIA-RDP79T00936A001100080002-5 50X1 50X1 50X1 50X1 50X1 (7":1 r=i (-7-1 E r rri r=g ' Declassified in Part - Sanitized Copy Approved for Release 2015/07/24: CIA-RDP79T00936A001100080002-5 d. There is no evidence yet that Cubans are receiving training in any of the military equipment associated with the missile installa- tions in Cuba. ( e. Cuban per- sonnel are being excluded from the missile sites suggest that security preparations may not yet be far enough along in Cuba. f. In any case, we believe the sites in Cuba will be made operational as soon as construction is finished, with Soviet personnel running them during the rather long (a year or more) transition to full operation by Cubans. r r1 ??? ?

Cuba - exter-, a. The Arab delegates at the nal relations UN have been putting concerted pressure on Ben Bella not to go on to Havana directly after his Wash- ington visit. They believe they have persuaded him. b. He seems to be seeking a face-saving formula, and we are now informed he will probably return to New York to pursue his efforts to reconcile differences within the Arab World. e: The Alpha 66 raid of last Monday was apparently ?flop, except in the organization's press re- leases. Cuban police reported one i'time bomb exploded, nobody hurt. 50X1 50X1 Declassified in Part - Sanitized Copy Approved for Release 2015/07724 : CIA-RDP79T00936A001100080002-5 Declassified in Part - Sanitized Copy Approved for Release 2015/07/24 : CIA-RDP79T00936A001100080002-5 Abha ?

Sana's leaders last night declared war on Saudi Arabia. b. The idea is to legitimize the presence of UAR forces by call- ing into play the "Jidda Pact of 1956, under which Egypt and Saudi Arabia undertook to defend Yemen against outside aggression. c. d. To expedite deliveries to Yemen, Soviet pilots are now flying supplies and equipment in from Cairo in AN-12 conventional transports which have a capacity for upwards of SO combat-ready troops. Morale of the government troops is poor.

The Pathet Lao are trying to get Souvanna's units in the field to back the North Vietnamese charge, that US troops remain in Laos. d. The Pathet Lao have taken violent exception to assembly's grant of full powers to Souvanna to govern for one year. They say the assembly is not an assembly and has no authority to grant such power, but what they really mean is that they have no intention of letting Souvanna exercise full powers, -.however derived. r l- Declassified in Part - Sanitized Copy ;or 'ROalse 20T5/07/24 : dIA-RDP79T00936A001100080002-5 50X1 50X1 50X1 50X1 EJ I=1 GZEi -en ea Eif EM3 1=21 CSESI Declassified in Part - Sanitized Copy Approved for Release 2015/07/24 : CIA-RDP79T00936A001100080002-5 6. Argentina 7. Brazil e. We are worried by the fact that the ICC team pulled out of. Nhommarath on Monday, evidently thinking their job was done. a. The Peronists have set their price for cooperation in returning the country to consti- tutional government. b. Essentially they want full freedom for political activity including the return of Peron. They also want a new president installed by next May. c. Since these demands are totally unacceptable to most of' the military, they will not help Guido. a. Trends, such as they are, are mixed judging from early returns (about a quarter have been tabu- lated) in Brazil's election. b. In Sao Paulo the conser- vative machine is overrunning former president Quadros. Elsewhere, the eleven races for governor are very close, with the conservatives hOlding a slight edge in all but two.

East Germany Nothing was said in Berlin yesterday when the Soviet party delegation arrived which gives any further clue to what might be afoot within the East German party and government. B. USSR C. Britain-EEC The Common Market countries are taking a dim view of intimations from across the channel that the British Labour Party, if and when in power, would not feel bound by any accession agreement. Well founded or not, their doubts will further complicate negotiations. D. China-India Yesterday's engagement along the McMahon line in the Bhutan-Tibet area was the most severe so far. It was the result, we believe, of India's intention to push the Chinese back from positions along the line. 50X1 50X1 . ? .

Its report notes the combined forces maneuvers in northeast Europe. Otherwise, however,military ?training activity and the call-up and release of conscripts in Soviet and East European forces are following a normal pattern.
