E. Somalia-USSR/
F. French Socialists - USSR A delegation of French
Socialist Party leaders, including Mallet, will be
going to the USSR later this month for an 8 to 10-
day round of talks with CPSU leaders who had invited
them to come. The French intend the talks to range
over international questions, minority problems and
ideological matters.
G. Oil Western oil companies with international in-
TeFests are in for some tougher bargaining with the
principal oil producing countries. Signs are that
the latter are more than usually determined to act
in concert through their Organization of Petroleum
Exporting Countries to combat the divide and conquer
tactics of the Western compaines. The organization
meets next week in Geneva and will probably consider
imposing new tax terms.
