2. Haiti - Domini-
can Republic
a. The result of yesterday's
flap in Haiti appears to have been
a substantial defeat for Cantave's
rebel force.
b. (
/Cantave
crossed the border into Haiti and
then retreated after a few hours of
skirmishing with reinforced Haitian
troops. The Haitians claim 13 rebels
killed.
c. Stray shots from the fight-
ing gave rise to the Dominican charges
that the nearby border town of Daja-
bon was being attacked.
d. Cantave has been interned
by the Dominicans according to the
press.
3. USSR agricul- a. Khrushchev is again resort-
ture ing to sensational methods to boost
agricultural production.

b. TABS reports the Komsomol
has called on its 20-million-odd
members to help finish 59 mineral
fertilizer plants before the end
of the year.
C. TABS compares the operation
with the "new lands" campaign of
1954-58 when thousands of Soviet
youth went east to assist in bring-
ing hitherto uncultivated land under
the plow.
d. The Soviet premier has al-
ready outlined a crash program to
expand the chemical industry in sup-
port of agriculture. He hopes to
increase chemical fertilizer by 8-9
million tons annually to reach a
goal of 100 million tons a year by
1970.
e. However, his troubles will
not end there because the more fer-
tilizer, the more equipment he will
need to handle it. In fact, he told
Governor Harriman that 2 billion
rubles annually was little enough
for this purpose.

6. Indonesia-UK
d. Following the writers' meet-
ing, Khrushchev received several par-
ticipants including Aleksander Tvard-
ovsky previously in the doghouse.
He read an unpublished, anti-Stalin
poem. Izvestia published the poem
a few days later along with a de..,
scription of Khrushchev's participa-
tion at the reception.
e. It remains to be seen how
many authors will regard these and
other developments as a green light
to resume the de-Stalinization theme.
a. Indonesia is attempting to
prevent further anti-British inci-
dents while Foreign Minister Suban-
drio is at the UN.

NOTES
A. EEC The Common Market is thinking of eating its
own rice along with its chicken. A West German
Economics official says the EEC may soon establish
regulations designed to protect Italian and French
rice producers by supporting a price well above the
world market. The US sold over $11 million worth
of rice to the Common Market from August 1962 to
May 1963.
B. Cuba Late photography shows that the 40 odd Soviet
T-54 tanks have moved out of the Soviet armored camp
at Holguin and that 29 T-34 tanks from a nearby
Cuban encampment have moved in. This is the first
time we have ever seen these tanks move outside the
camp area. One possibility is that thee
T-54s have passed to Cuban control.
C. South Vietnam Reuters reports that a Pan American
707 was hit by a rifle bullet early this morning
about seven miles from Saigon airport. The plane
suffered damage to one of its oil lines. This fol-
lows the Viet Cong bomb sabotage yesterday of two
USAF C-47 aircraft and Saturday's bombing outside a
theatre frequented by Americans.
