DAILY BRIEF
I. THE COMMUNIST BLOC
ii
USSR Communist China: The Soviet Communist party
in late August sent a secret letter to the Indian Communist
party--and apparently sent similar letters to Communist par-
ties throughout the world--calling for support of the Soviet
position at the forthcoming international Communist conclave
at Moscow in November. The letter to the Indian party, a
formal and sober appraisal of admitted "sharp" differences
with Peiping, firmly repeats Moscow's views regarding the
disputed questions of "peaceful coexistence" and the policy to
be followed by bloc countries and local Communists toward
the non-Communist governments and leaders in underdevel-
oped countries. Strongly asserting Soviet leadership of the
world Communist movement and Soviet primacy in interpret-
ing doctrine, the letter declared that 'Peiping's policies are
hampering the cause of Communism "in more than one way"
and that Chinese "dogmatism" is actually aiding imperialism.
While placing great stress on unity, Moscow is bidding for the
support of all other parties as part of its effort to isolate the
Chinese Communist leaders and to force them to back down
beforp nr rhirincr thp November meeting.
Pei-
ping, substantiate earlier accounts of the sudden departure of
Soviet experts from China. Although there is no information
on the precise scale of the movement,
estimates that from half to two thirds of all Soviet
technicians in China have left. It remains uncertain whether
the initiative for their departure came from Moscow or Peiping.

IL ASIA-AFRICA
Iran: The combination of Soviet advances to Tehran and
the Shags continuing dissatisfaction with the extent of American
aid and support, especially in the military field, is posing a
threat to the United States position in Iran, according to Am-
bassador Wailes. The ambassador fears that the Shah, in an
effort to regain lost prestige, has "opened doors which may be
difficult to close" and which can lead to a weakening of Iran's
Internal, stability. Meanwhile, the new, nonpartisan cabinet of
Prime Minister Sharif Emami "certainly seems no better than
the last."
UAR-Jordan: Vitriolic exchanges between Cairo and Amman
are keeping tensions high following the 29 August assassination
of Jordanian Prime Minister Majalli. The UAR shows no inten-
tion of complying with King Husayn's demand for the extradition
from Syria of the Jordanians allegedly involved in the killing.
The special UN representative in Amman is personally convinced
of UAR complicity, and UN Secretary General Hammarskjold is
likely to urge Nasir to take steps to calm the situation.
Laos: General Phoumi is bitter over the course of events
in Laos and appears to be considering military action of some
kind against the newly invested Souvanna Phouma government.
Phoumi made threats at his head-
quarters in Savannakhet on 2 September to divide Laos in two.
According to Phoulni, his compromise settlement with Souvanna
Phouma was only to gain time, and if he returned to Vientiane,
he would have no choice but to "uphold Souvanna Phouma's policy
of making Laos red,"
*The clandestine Pathet Lao radio, meanwhile, has responded
to Souvanna Pboun-ia's proposal to negotiate, stating that although the
Pathet Lao movement welcomes this proposal, it demands the

IA. THE WEST
Venezuela- Cuba:
that Fabricio Ojeda, a leftist Vene-
zuelan political leaoer ) has s-pent considerable time in
Cuba since late 1959; lanning a coup attempt in Venezuela
with the support of Cueee officials. The move may be timed to
exploit the current pro-Castro agitation in Venezuela following
the recent OAS foreign r,-,inisters' meeting. Venezuela has more
private US investment r.an any other Latin American country,
and is currently a ta.cee.-.5t of Castro's anti-US revolutionary pro-
gram in the area.
Dominican Republic: General "Ramfis" Trujillo, the Do-
minican dictator's son who is now in Europe, has almost cer-
tainly established conteels with the Soviet bloc. ;Anti-US, pro-
Cuban, and pro-Soviet ;tirades are being continued in the
government-controlled Dominican press and radiobroadcasts.
An extensive propaganda campaign has been preparing the pub-
lic for the dictator's res,..unption of the Presidency. The US
'Consulate in Ciudad Trujillo fears the Dominican leader will
kill many dissidents who belong to a coalition led by pro-US
moderates.
*El Salvador: Unless President Lemus takes forceful meas-
ures against an antigovernment demonstration scheduled for 5
September, the army may intervene and replace him with a man
of its own choosing. Antigovernment agitation, led by Pro-Com-
munist and pro-Castro students and labor elements has been
increasing in frequency and violence since early last month.
The National Civil Orientation Front, a loosely knit organization
composed of opposition groups--most are Communist-controlled--
reportedly is planning to coordinate actions with the student pro-
test movement. However, some non-Communist elements, in-
cluding a group led by ex-President Osorio, may be attempting
to use the student agitation to regain power.

LATE ITEM
Con:Ex UN Secretary General Hammarskjold has con-
firmed ffat the Soviet IL-14s which arrived in Stanleyville last
week with overt cargoes of food and spare parts also carried
heavy boxes which he suspects contained disassembled weapons.
He also feels sure that the ten eight-man crews, which will re-
main in the Congo, are in fact military crews. The fact that the
five Soviet AN 12 turboprop transports now en route to Stanley-
vine by-passed Athens and possible inspection by the Greek gov-
ernment there suggests that larger quantities of Soviet military
material are on the way to Lumumba.
