DAILY BRIEF
I. THE COMMUNIST BLOC
the USSR has been equipping and training
its iipter iorces with air-to-air missiles, possibly guided
by a heat-seeking (infrared) or by a beam-rider (radar) sys-
tem0 at least
seven Soviet Farmer (MEG-19) aircraft from units in the
Murmansk area engaged in probable air-to-air missile fir-
ing on both 23 October and 17 November 1959. This firing
furnishes further evidence that operational units are equipped
with the missiles and are being trained in their use; since last
summer MIG-19 fighters in East Germany have been
equipped with four externally mounted missiles, two under
each wing. (Page 1)
Sino-Indian Border: Lcr- ommunist China's Premier Chou
En-lai will suggest the formation of a joint Sino-Indian border
commission when he meets Indian Prime Minister Nehru in
April,
border talks must be kept going until a solution
is reached and therefore no time limit should be imposed on
any such commission. Peiping, which found a similar tactic
useful in easing its dispute with Burma, apparently hopes to
ascertain Indian reaction to the possibility of a Sino-Indian com-
mission and to broaden the effort to convince New Delhi that
Communist China is prepared to be cooperative in border tall_cl)

Watch Committee Conclusion�Middle East: al,ere has
been an easing of tensions between the UAR and Israel. Al-
though the withdrawal of some UAR military forces from the
Sinai has begun, serious incidents continue possible as long
as UAR forces remain near the Israeli border areas in rein-
forced strength)
Morocco: t he cabinet crisis pending since December and
halted by the Agadir disaster of 1 March may come to a head
within another week,
Most members of the cabinet took
practically no part in daling with the disaster, thus demon-
strating the moribund state of the government.
(Page 3)
III. THE WEST
ECuba: The US Embassy in Havana sees no hope that the
US will everb e able to establish a satisfactory relationship
with any Cuban government dominated by Fidel Castro or his
close associates. The embassy believes that the government's
charges of US responsibility for the explosion in Havana har-
bor and the mounting anti-US frenzy in government-controlled
media indicate a deliberate attempt to precipitate a crisis and
force the US to take drastic measures. There have also been
reports that Cubans who previously were cool to Castro's anti-
American diatribes seem increasingly resentful of the US, and
a minor incident could cause an outbreak of violence against
US personnel or interests:1

Initial Air-to-Air Missile Firing From Soviet Fighters Indicated
The probable firing of air-to-air missiles by at least seven
Soviet MIG49 fighters of the Northern Fleet naval regiment based
at Murmansk on 23 October and again on 17 November 1959 is the
best indication to data of the operational employment of these weap-
ons. Available evidence on Soviet development of at least two
guided air-to-air missiles suggests they were of a heat-seeking
(infrared) or beam-rider (radar) type.
On 23 October, seven aircraft entering singly a
"combat run" at an approximate altitude of 37,000 feet..
The air-
craft reversing heading, descending to 20,000 feet
and apparently returning to base.
The 17 November activity duplicated that in October except
suggesting the fighters may have released two mis-
siles with the first one possibly serving as the target for the sec-
ond.
This regiment may have been re-equipped with missile
launchers in the spring of 1959. It was inactive for six weeks
prior to 2 June, and when flying resumed, the pilots engaged in
intensive take-off and landing exercises--an unusual practice for
a trained operational unit.
The limited tracking capability of the airborne radar installed
on the MIG-19 suggests that an infrared heat-seeking type of mis-
sile rather than a beam-rider wasusedin this exercise. The more
advanced fighters now beginning to appear at several key areas of
the USSR are believed adaptable to the use of air-to-air guided
missiles.

C hou En-Lai May Propose airao-Inaian border commission
Ld9mmunist China's Premier Chou En-lai will propose a
joint Sino-Indian boundary commission when he visits New
Delhi in April,
Repeating Peiping's current propa-
ganda line that nothing must stand in the way of friendship be-
tween the two countries,
no time limit should be set on the work of
such a conamissiog
[Peiping found the establishment of a boundary commission
a useful device for easing its dispute with Burma and one
which could be used to prolong "friendly negotiations indefi-
nitely." Peiping's willingness to present this proposa
strong-
ly suggests an attem t to a e Indian reaction and its probable
influence on Nehru. comments also seem intended
to broaden Peiping's iff�iEto convince New Delhi the Chinese
will be cooperative in border talks. He said China "might"
agree to demilitarizing "certain portions" of the disputed
territory if India accepts the fact that China has a claim to
such territory. The Chinese may hope this remark will be
interpreted as a veiled hint that some accommodation can be
reached on "neutralizing" portions of Ladakil
gehru reportedly has speculated that Chou may point to
China's recant border agreement with Burma and possibly
one with Nepal by the time of his visit and suggest that a
precedent has been set for India:7

IL ASIA-AFRICA
Replacement of Moroccan Cabinet Asain Seems Imminent
Tr Moroccan cabinet crisis�halted by the Agadir disas-
ter March--may come to a head within another week
Most
members of the cabinet, including Premier Abdallah Ibrahim and
Vice Premier Abderrahim Bouabid, took little part in dealing
with the disaster. Most prominent in directing disaster relief
were Crown Prince Moulay Hassan and Director of National Secu-
rity Mohamed Laghzaoui, who have long pressed King Mohamed V
to revamp his government and have for the past three months di-
rected the police repression of left-wing supporters of Ibrahim
and Bouabid.
Premier Ibrahim, who in the past few months appeared to
have lost the King's confidence, was reported to have offered his
resignation. Just prior to the Agadir disaster, the King appeared
ready to accept the resignation and to name Si Mohamed MtBarek
Bekkai, who was premier from December 1955 until May 1958,
to head a caretaker government to serve until after local elec-
tions are held in May.
Meanwhile, security forces� continue to move against veter-
ans of the Moroccan resistance group and alleged terrorists said
to be involved in a plot to assassinate the crown prince. ateft-
wing political and labor leaders contend that the only plot is one
invented by the government as an excuse to suppress Ibrahim's
sunnorters to the hEnefit of Moroccan righttht grouns 7
