4 December 1959
DAILY BRIEF
I. THE COMMUNIST BLOC
USSR: Recently available evidence indicates that strikes
or similar disorders took place this fall in the vicinity of the
Karaganda metallurgical plant in north-central Kazakhstan.
Such disturbances are very seldom noted in the USSR, and while
they do not constitute a threat to the stability of the regime in
Moscow or even to the control of local authorities, they are symp-
tomatic of the chronic troubles Moscow constantly faces in the
minority republics. In this instance poor living conditions and
resentment of new work norms apparently touched off the inci-
dents; two reports allege that troops were called in. The sit-
uation was serious enough to prompt Moscow to send out one of
its high-level inspectors from the party central committee, and
three top officials in Karaganda Oblast were fired. The recent
replacement of the Kazakh chiefs of both State Security (KGB)
and Internal Affairs (MVD) may have some connection with the
disturbances. (Page 1) (Map)
II. ASIA-AFRICA
Iraq: There have been no incidents as yet in connection
with Prime Minister Qasimts departure from the hospital. A
"great march" has been scheduled for 4 December, however,
and a special student holiday has been declared for 5 December.
Clasibetween_rivalfactiang_mav_woll occur.
Iraqi security authorities
remain alert and concerned about possible disorders. The UAR
Embassy in Baghdad has been warned by an Iraqi nationalist that
the occasion might be used for a mob attack on it,
continued plotting against Oasim.

Mali-France: t De Gaulle and leaders of the Mali Federa-
tion�composed of the autonomous French Community republics
of Senegal and Soudan--appear to have agreed in principle that
Mali should become formally independent within the Community
next June. This is to be accomplished by a transfer of sovereign
power to Mali and simultaneous acceptance by Mali of coopera-
tion agreements with France. These agreements would create
special relationships between France and Mali in such fields as
defense, foreign affairs, economic aid, and education. More
militant elements in Mali, which have long favored a clean
break with the Community similar to Guinea's, can be expected
to exploit any difficulties which may develop during negotia-
tions prior to June on the details of these agreements.
(Pa.
*Philippines: Reports have been received that a Philippine
nationalist youth movement plans anti-American rallies in Manila
over the week end. Local security forces are considered capable
of maintaining order.
III. THE WEST
France: il-he Supreme Allied Commander in Europe has re-
ceived a report that France will shortly make a new proposal
regarding employment of the French Mediterranean fleet. Un-
der this plan, France's Mediterranean-Algeria-Sahara Command
of General Challe would permit the French fleet to undertake
certain limited NATO functions on a second-priority basis. Co-
ordination would be effected directly between the French Navy
and US and UK commanders, rather than through the NATO Med-
iterranean commander.} (Page 3)

*Brazil: Some 20 rebellious air force officers com-
mandeered five planes on 3 December and set up a "rev-
olutionary base" at inland Aragarcas about 1,100 miles
northwest of Rio de Janeiro. This surprise maneuver seems
designed primarily to support dramatically the reinstate-
ment of Janio Quadros as the presidential candidate of the
principal opposition party and several smaller parties whose
bickering prompted Quadrost tentative resignation. Thus
far no further military support for the rebels is evident. A
similar miniature rebellion by air force officers fizzled in
1956. The air minister considers the incident serious but
controllable by counter operations to hefyin on 4 Pliaentralc,r

I. THE COMMUNIST BLOC
Strikes in Kazakhstan
Accumulating evidence indicates that strikes or similar
disorders took place this fall in the area near Temir Tau in
north-central Kazakhstan where the large Karaganda metal-
lurgical plant is being built. According to the most recent
report, a Kazakh student who returned to Moscow from
Kazakhstan at the end of September stated that protests
against poor living conditions and new work norms by work-
ers in Temir Tau in early September developed into a civil
disturbance which required army intervention. There had
been unconfirmed reports and rumors earlier which referred
to work stoppages and unrest in the same area. One report
alleged that several miners were killed by the police in quell-
ing a strike in September.
Moscow was sufficiently concerned to send out one of its
high-level inspectors from the party central committee. The
party committee of Karaganda Oblast met on 21 October and
the central committee in Kazakh Republic on 24 October to
discuss the situation. The criticism, led at both meetings by
republic party First Secretary Nikolay Belyayev, focused on
the "intolerable indifference" to the "vital needs" of the con-
struction workers at the metallurgical plant. The first secre-
tary and another secretary of the Karaganda Oblast party or-
ganization and the chairman of the Karaganda Sovnarkhoz were
fired.
The replacement of the Kazakh KGB chief on 10 October
and the replacement of the minister of internal affairs (MVD) may
have been due in part to the disturbances in Karaganda Oblast,
although there are several other reasons, including Kazakh na-
tionalism and a nationwide drive by KGB chairman Aleksarlr
Shelepin to reorganize the secret police.

IL ASIA-AFRICA
Agreement Reported on Mali Independence Arrangements
rhench President de Gaulle and leaders of the Mali Fed-
eration�composed of the autonomous French Community
states of Senegal and Soudan--agreed in principle last week
during talks initiated by De Gaulle that, effective next June,
Mali should become independent with special contractual ties
with France, according to Mali Assembly President Senghor.
Senghor; who participated in the talks along with Mali Pres-
ident Keita and Vice President Dia, respectively the pre-
miers of Soudan and Senegal, told the American consul gen-
eral in Dakar on 30 November that French sponsorship of
Mali's UN candidacy would follow.
According to Senghor, De Gaulle agreed to Mali's plan
to achieve independence through a negotiated transfer of
"common" powers actually wielded by Paris, but insisted
that special agreements providing for cooperation in such
fields as defense, foreign affairs, education, and economic
aid be worked out beforehand and come into force on the date
of independence. On the basis of such arrangements--de-
signed basically to assure Mali's post-independence political
and strategic solidarity with France--De Gaulle is apparently
prepared to accept Mali as a continuing member of the French-
subsidized Community. The alternative with which Mali's rep-
resentatives were presumably confronted was Mali's complete
departure from the Community.
Concessions by the three leaders to De Gaulle's insistence
that there be no time gap between the transfer of powers and
the effective date of the association agreements will be sharply
criticized by more militant Mali elements which are partic-
ularly strong within the governing party of Soudan. These ele-
ments have long favored a complete break with the Community
and will exploit any future difficulties between French and
Mali representatives:/

New French Proposal on Mediterranean Fleet cooperation
With NATO
Lb-new French proposal concerning employment of the
Mediterranean fleet in wartime would have the Mediterra-
nean-Algeria-Sahara command under General Challe author-
ize the fleet to undertake certain limited NATO functions on
a second-priority basis. Coordination would be effected di-
rectly between the French Navy and US and UK naval force
commanders in the Mediterranean, rather than through the
NATO Mediterranean commander, CINCFMED. The French
proposal, revealed to the Supreme Allied Commander,
Europe, is to be presented to the NATO
Standing Group. According to SACEUR� the plan's subordina-
tion of NATO to French national responsibilities has led even
some responsible French military officers to describe it as
"obviously unacceptable."
The proposal seems in line with De Gaulle's reiterated be-
lief that NATO planning has been too narrowly focused on the
concept of an East-West struggle, and has ignored the danger
that Europe may be outflanked by the Soviet bloc through Africa,
a development which France claims it is seeking to prevent
through its effort to maintain control over Algeria and the Sa-
hara.
De Gaulle may also view continued withholding of the fleet
from full wartime cooperation with NATO as a means of stress-
ing his demands for a greater French voice in NATO and for
French participation on an equal basis with the US and
gpOlistategLcoordination-.)
