CENTRAL INTELLIGENCE BULLETIN

DAILY BRIEF
I. THE COMMUNIST BLOC
*USSR: The USSR launched a test vehicle from Tyura
Tarn to the predesignated impact area in the Pacific Ocean
on 7 July at about 1128 EDT (1528 GMT), approximately 48
hours after a similar launching on 5 July. TASS news an-
nouncements stated that the dummy last stage of the vehicle
had arrived in the impact area and that this would be the last
launching in the present series of tests. Preliminary analysis
confirms the
general success of the launching as announced by TASS.
At about 10 minutes before impact, Kamchatka commu-
nication facilities of the Tyura Tam Range engaged in a prac-
tice exercise, believed to be in anticipation of a forthcoming
normal ICBM test or a test of the cruise-type "HOTCROSS"
missile from Vlarlirnirovka about 3 '7(0 nautical miles from
Kamchatka,..
Soviet Bloc - Cuba: Repeated Soviet assurances of both
economic and political support to Cuba have strengthened
Castro's hand in his anti-US policies. Moscow is accelerating
Its deliveries of oil and is capable of supplying all of Cuba's
petroleum needs. Shipments of promised machinery and equip-
ment to date have been minor, but are expected to increase.
Raul Castro's mission, now in Prague, probably is discussing
military matters, and it is likely that a military aid agreement
will be concluded. No bloc equipment is known to have
arrived in Cuba thus far. (Page 1)

III. THE WEST
Italy: The strikes and rioting deriving from the neo-Fascist
party's attempt to hold a party congress in Genoa reflect Commu-
nist exploitation of a widespread popular apprehension over the
resurgence of Fascism as exemplified by the reliance of Premier
Tambroni's caretaker government on neo-Fascist parliamentary
Support. The tensions which have been building up over the grad-
ual moves to the right of recent Italian governments will probably
continue, and even more extensive disorders are possible. Al-
though the neo-Fascists would be reluctant at this time to with-
draw their support of the government, they may do so if the gov-
ernment is forced to take an openly anti-Fascist stand in parlia-
mentary debates this week. It is also possible that if the govern-
ment does not dissociate itself from the Fascists, it may lose
sufficient numbers of Christian Democratic deptities in a vote of
confidence to bring it down. The Communists may use this a.gita-
tion to revive their hitherto unsuccessful campaign against US
missile bases in Italy. (Page 2)
Austria: Top defense officials have informed the American
mb7s717-'t at they now have dropped the plan to buy MIG-17 air-
01, aft from Poland, and are considering the Purchase of military
ts from Sweden instead. Austrian officers plan to go to Sweden
in August for final negotiations. Such a deal would further the
Austrian policy of increasing trade with European Free Trade Area
partners. (Page 4)
Finland: The Finnish Government expects to open negotiations
next week on the question of most-favored-nation treatment for
Soviet exports. The Finns consider solution of this problem a pre-
requisite to Finnish affiliation with the European Free Trade Asso-
ciation (EFTA), and a special session of parliament reportedly will
be called following the negotiations. The Finnish export industry,
which strongly advocates ties with EFTA, has anticipated such a
link by reducing prices of certain exports to EFTA countries equal
to the 20 percent tariff reduction they put into effect on 1 July.

Cuba: Reacting to the reduction in Cuba's sugar quota, the
Castro regime has called a mass rally of "a million and a half"
on 1,0 July to protest "the aggressive and pro-Nazi" policy of
the United States. Castro may use this opportunity, or his sched-
uled speech on 8 July, to announce the confiscation of further
American-owned properties. Anti-US feeling has reached such
a Ditch that there is dancer of violence acainst Americans

Sino- Soviet Bloc Support for Cuba
Repeated Soviet assurances of both economic and politi-
cal support have strengthened Castro's hand in his attempt
to reverse Cuba's traditional ties with the United States.
Steps toward assuring a steady supply of Soviet oil have
been accelerated.
recent Soviet-Cuban talks have involved future
deliveries of up to 5,000,000 tons of Soviet crude annually--
considerably more than Cuba's normal imports. Adjustments
under way in bloc tanker operations suggest the Soviet Union
is taking action to supply whatever amounts Cuba needs.
The USSR has been shifting some of its long-term commit-
ments to free-world tankers in order to free Soviet tankers for
the Cuban trade. Arrangements already made will enable
fulfillment of present commitments.
The cutback in Cuban sugar exports to the United States
may present new opportunities for bloc exploitation. The
bloc's general low level of sugar consumption enables it to
absorb whatever purchases are considered politically expedient.
Cuba's losses on the US market could be only partially replaced
by bloc imports, which would be at world prices and probably
under bi. rter arrangements rather than for foreign exchange.
Several contracts under the bloc economic agreements with
Cuba have been concluded amid great public fanfare, but actual
deliveries--other than Soviet oil and fertilizers--have been
minor. Some agricultural machinery, a few trucks, five com-
mercial helicopters, and small quantities of other machinery
and equipment have been shipped. A greater volume of such
shipments is expected during the remainder of this year and
in 19610 Thus far no bloc military equipment is known to have
arrived Cuba, but such deliveries could begin at any time.

Disorders in Italy
Recent strikes and riots in Rome, Genoa, Ravenna, Reggio
Emilia, and in several cities of Sicily exemplify the tension that
has built up as the result of the gradual move to the right by post-
war Italian governments in the face of an electoral shift to the
left.
The uproar deriving from the neo-Fascist Italian Social Move-
ment's scheduled congress in Genoa and its subsequent cancella-
tion points up current popular opposition to Premier Tambroni's
all - Christian Democratic government which maintains itself by
virtue of neo-Fascist support against all six of the other parties
in parliament.
This government is operating in a caretaker capacity to pass
the budget and deal with routine problems until after the nation-
wide local elections scheduled for this fall. Although the party
has officially resolved in favor of a center-left government, a right-
ist minority blocked two attempts at a center-left government this
year, leaving a policy stalemate. The Christian Democrats have
tried various short-lived government expedients, but have reached
no clear decision as to the direction the government should take.
The neo-Fascists opposed the government earlier this week
in the Senate, where their vote is not needed, but they are prob-
ably reluctant to withhold their votes in today's budget vote in the
lower house, although they have threatened to do so. This would
bring down Tambroni and cost the neo-Fascists their influence on
the government, and could bring on a center-left government. It
is also possible that If the government does not dissociate itself
from the neo-Fascists, it may lose sufficient numbers of Chris-
tian Democratic deputies in a vote of confidence to bring it down.
The Communists, too, anxious to avert isolation from their
former Nenni Socialist allies, wish to avoid bringing on a reform-
ist government which the Nenni Socialists could support. Never-
theless the depth of popular feeling offers them a good chance to

promote further widespread disorders. They may also try to
use the situation to revive their campaign against US missile
bases. which they first tried in the snring of 1959.

Austria Plans to Buy Swedish Aircraft Instead of
Polish MIG-17s
Austrian defense officials, who in mid-June were strong-
ly considering the purchase of MIG-17 aircraft from Poland,
have informed the US Embassy in Vienna that they have dropped
this plan in favor of purchasing Swedish Saab J-29F transonic
interceptors. The Austrian Army will send three officers to
Sweden in August to inspect the aircraft and discuss the price.
American officials in Vienna expect this deal to be con-
cluded rapidly. They view the move as logical for Austria,
considering Foreign Minister Kreisky's affinity for all things
Swedish as well as his distaste for Khrushchev's current per-
formance in Austria. Purchase of Swedish planes would
serve to underline Austrian neutrality, somewhat called into
question by Chancellor Raab's enthusiastic endorsement of
his Soviet guests. It is also the policy of the Austrian Gov-
ernment to build up trade with its partners in the European
Free Trade Area, including Sweden.
For its heavy arms Austria depends upon outside sources,
mainly the United States. In the past Austria has purchased
antiaircraft guns from Sweden, tanks from the USSR, and
light training aircraft from Czechoslovakia. Since March the
Austrians have been under pressure not only from the Poles
to buy the MIG-17s but from the USSR to buy tanks and air-
craft.
Austria's air force, now equipped with only 80 planes,
seeks jets in order to gain a degree of combat effectiveness.
The unit cost of the Swedish planes is relatively low, and
Sweden plans to re-equip five or six of its J-29F s uadron
with more advanced aircraft by the end of 1960.
