2. ISRAEL MOBILIZING ON "SUBSTANTIAL" SCALE
25X1A
The American army attache in .Tel Aviv
believes that the Israeli defense force
is in the initial stages of a "substantial"
mobilization preparatory to an overt
hostile act.
DIA 25X1
Comment Israel may be preparing to retaliate
against Jordan for the 4 October am-
bush killing of five Israeli civilians. Israel has not, how-
ever, mobilized on the current scale for any of the three
recent retaliatory raids. Israel may therefore be prepar-
ing for possible unfavorable developments in Jordan as a
result of the entry of Iraqi troops into Jordan, or a further
deterioration there in the internal situation.
the first elements of the
Iraqi contingent scheduled to be stationed in East Jordan
are to arrive on 9 October.

3, YUGOSLAV PRESS TREATMENT OF TITO-
SOVIET TALKS
Comment on.
Commenting on the Tito-Khrushchev
visits, the Belgrade government news-
paper Barba on 7 October stated that
there "exist naturally certain differ-
ences of views on the contemporary
world, above all differences of an
ideological character:' Borba added
that "there are also certain unsolved
problems in mutual relations." It stated, however, that
a "guarantee" that Yugoslav-Soviet relations would develop
successfully was the fact that the existing differences are
being discussed sincerely and openly.
Borba re-emphasized the validity of
the agreements already worked out with the Soviet leaders
in June 1955 and June 1956, It selected for particular em-
phasis the principles of equality and noninterference in re-
lations, condemnation of the policy of blocs, and complete
adherence to the view that the paths of socialist develop-
ment are different in different countries.
The Yugoslav press also reportedly
has stated that these last principles will be emphasized
in the forthcoming Yugoslav talks with the Italian, Rumanian,
and.French party delegations. Similar matters presumably
will be discussed with the Hungarian delegation which will
visit Belgrade beginning 15 October.
Tito apparently has not been swayed
by his talks with Khrushchev from his independent posi-
tion, and does not intend to lessen his pressure for Satel-
lite change.

4, HUNGARIAN "SILENT DEMONSTRATION" DURING
REBURIAL OF EX-"TITOIST" RAJK
25X .Comment on,
The attendance of 200,000 Hungarians
at the reburial ceremony of Laszlo Rajk
on 6 October was acclaimed by Budapest
radio as a "silent demonstration" reveal-
ing an -"inextinguishable hatred" for
despotism and the personality cult.
Szabad Ne the Communist Party daily,
interpre-fe-&the demonstration as public
support for de-Stalinization and liberalization policies and
repledged itself to the new policies of moderation.
The Rajk reinterment apparently was
designed to stimulate popular support for the policies
and to help improve relations with Yugoslavia. Hungarian
regime spokesmen, in condemning charges against Yugo-
slavia in the Rajk trial and other past slanders, have shown
increasing admiration of Yugoslavia's independence,
Yugoslav editorial comment on the Rajk
funeral is similar in tone to that of the Hungarian state-
ments. Belgrade radio claimed on 7 October that the funeral
revealed that the "new fresh tendencies" in Hungary are gain-
ing ground and that it represents an additional obstacle to
"any attempt to return to the old ways:' Belgrade also indi-
cated that some additional measures may be pending against
Rakosi. According to the Belgrade editorial, the Hungarian
assertion that "the guilty ones should be nailed to the column
of shame" was aimed primarily at Rakosi.

7. SUKARNO'S VISIT TO PEIPING
Comment on:
25X1
Indonesian president Sukarno left Peiping
on 6 October for a week's tour of Commu-
nist China, The Indonesian leader thus
far has responded warmly to the reception
arranged for him by the Chinese,
In numerous speeches, Sukarno empha-
sized the common aspirations of the Chinese and Indonesian
people, He endorsed Peiping's goal of annexing Taiwan,
told university students that Sino-Indonesian friendship was
"indestructible," and invited Mao Tse-tung to visit Indonesia.
It is doubtful that Mao will visit Indonesia,
since the official Chinese Communist news agency advised
all editors not to use the heading "Chairman Mao accepts in-
vitation to visit Indonesia" for stories on Sukarno's departure
from Peiping. Mao has never visited a non-Communist coun-
try,

9. CHINESE COMMUNISTS MAKE ECONOMIC GRANT
TO NEPAL
25X1A Comment on:
Under an economic aid agreement
signed on 7 October, Communist China
will provide Nepal with rupees to the
value of approximately $12,600,000 dur-
ing the next three years as a gift to help carry out Katman-
du's first five-year plan. This agreement follows the treaty
of friendship signed on 20 September between Nepal and
Communist China and advances Peiping's effort to estab-
lish closer ties with Nepal.
No Chinese technicians will be sent to
Nepal in connection with the aid grant, probably out of def-
erence to Indian sensitivity to Chinese influence in Nepal.
New Delhi is considering a $21,000,000 aid program for
Nepal.
The agreement to aid Nepal is Peiping's
second grant of economic assistance to a non-Communist
country. The first was made to Cambodia last June and
provided for $22,400,000 to be advanced over a two-year
period.
