GENERAL
1. Chinese may offer an "East Asian Regional Economy" plan--The State
Department has received as informal report that in the near future the
Chinese will present to US Embassy Nanking a plan for an "East Asian
Regional Economy," which in substance would subordinate the econo-
mies of Japan and South Korea to a China financed by US loans.
2. eteconomic "difficulties" Ms defer membershi in UN cies--
A Soviet delegate to the UN has told the US Delegation that, because of
difficulties in bringing the Soviet internal price structure into line and
because of drains on dollar exchange resources, the USSR may not be
able to join either the International Trade Organization or the Interna-
tional Bank and Monetary Fund for some time. Previously the excuse
given was a shortage of technical personnel.
EUROPE
3. GERMANY: USSB, may take more German scientists--General McNarney
reports the possibility that more scientists and technicians may be de-
ported from Berlin to the USSR. He urges action on those wanted by the
US and adds that German scientists from the Soviet Zone have arranged
meetings with US authorities at personal risk.
4. USSR: US to press for new consulate in USSR--The State Department
has advised US Embassy Moscow that it is prepared to close a Soviet
consulate here if the USSR persists in refusing to permit additional US
consulates in the Soviet Union.
5. AUSTRIA: Soviet action inst US oil r ies--General Clark re-
ports that the Soviets still refuse to recognize US ownership of certain
oil properties in Lower Austria and intend to force the US companies
into bankruptcy, "thereby permitting their complete seizure and opera-
tion by the Russians." Clark adds that the current petroleum shortage
in Austria is entirely the result of Soviet exports of Austrian oil.
