FAR EAST 
Possiblp mansion of enemy air activities noted: 3.3(h)(2) 
The US Air Force Security Service believes 
that  
it build-up ot air tacillties ana 3.3(h)(2) 
personnel in the Sariwon area of Nor& Korea 
(30 miles south of Pyongyang) foreshadow 
an intensification of enemy air activity in the 
"near future." It is believed that the impending 
"activity" probably will involve jet fighter, 
ground attack and bomber- units. 
The Far East Command considers that enctiny, , 
night attacks on Suwon airfield (20 miles south of Seoul) on 14 and 17 June 
by single planes indicate that enemy air forces may soon begin an attack 
against UN air installations near the front lines. 
Indochina: 
General Chase, chief of the Military Aid anc1.3.3(h)(2) 
Advisory Group in Taiwa 2 recommends that 
the US take strong action to assist the Chinese 
Nationalist Government in effecting the release 
and transportation to Formosa of all Chinese military personnel interned 
in Indochina. He states that they are good troops and badly needed as 
replacements. The Chinese Nationalist Government can transport them from 
Indochina at no expense to the French, who would thus be relieved of the 
present heavy cost of maintenance. The US Charge in Taipei concurs, 
and suggests that favorable action from the French would provide an 
excellent example of international cooperation against the Communist threat 
and, at the same time, constitute an important contribution to the defense 
of Formosa.

Comment: An estimated 309 000 Chinese 
Nationalist soldiers of unknown effectiveness are currently interned in 
Indochina. On several occasions since the end of 1949, the French 
have considered requests originating in Taipei that these troops be 
returned to Taiwan. For fear of provoking Communist China into more 
overt action against Indochina, the French have refused to acpede 
to these requests and have maintarnei a diplomatically (aTtitude "correct" 
in the matter. They are not likely to be easily persuaded to reverse 
this policy. 
NEAR EAST 
3. tian ForeignEgyp_ Minister opps new rttish taa )osals on Suez and 
5udan issues:  
3.3(h)(2) 
The Egyptian Foreign Minister has informed 
the US Ambassador in Cairo that the latest 
British proposals on the Suez and Sudan issues 
are unsatisfactory. The Foreign Minister 
stated� that while he personally 'would like to break off the Anglo-Egyptian 
talks and denounce the 1936 treaty, any action must await the King's 
return. When the Ambassador urged. that Egypt follow a pyllicy of moderation, 
the Foreign Minister stated that the controversy might drag on until the 
opening of Parliament in November but that a definite decision would have 
to be made at that time. 
comment Considerable popular pressure to 
break off the Anglo-Egyptian talks continues to be exerted on the Egyptian 
Uver ra m e nt particularly si ce no agreement on ,,,ny important issue 
seems forthcoming. The absence of the King and government officials 
from Cairo during the summer, however, makes it unlikely that Egypt 
will yield to popItlar pressure and' cause a break with the UK at this time.

3.3(h)(2) 
The Government's intention to request the Federal 
Constitutional Court to declare the neo-Nazi 
Socialist Reich Party unconstitutional has again 
raised the question whether similar action 
should be taken against the West German Communist Party. Various 
government leaders reason that it would be illogical to restrict rightist 
extremism while ignoring leftist extremism. They also claim that a ban 
on the CommunistParty:wouttl plit teeth Into the government's other anti-
Cornmunrst moves, namely, the present ban, of the Communist anti-
- re-a,rmament-sUnaturei campaign ,and the proposed law to remove from 
public latrevice members of anti- democratic groups.

Comment: Previously the general feeling 
among government leaders has been that banning the West German Communist 
Party would do more harm than good. The emergence of the Socialist 
It etch party, �however, is causing a stiffer attitude toward extremist 
grqups. Federal Minister of Interior Lehr has recently stated that since 
only a small part of the Communist Party's activities are legal, it should 
be possible to abandon former objections to a ban.
