USSR-Rumania: Khrushchev plans to go to Rumania for
the celebration of the 15th anniversary of its "liberation" on
23 August, according to reports from various Western dip-
lomats stationed in Bucharest. Although Khrushchev has vis-
ited Rumania twice before, such a trip would be his first of-
ficial state visit and follows the pattern of his recent formal
trips to Poland and Albania.

Kerala: A final decision by India's central government to
intervene in Communist-governed Kerala State appears near.
Intensive discussions among the top national leaders may reach
a climax during a cabinet meeting scheduled for 29 July, al-
though imposition of President's Rule may be deferred until af-
ter Parliament reconvenes on 3 August. Such action would be
followed some time later by a call for new state elections. Both
Congress and Communist party leaders continue their prop-
aganda pressure on the government, as, demonstrations in Kerala
r, I
and other key states take on a more violent tone.
Africa-France: A growing number of African nations are
rotesting proposed French atomic tests in the Algerian Sahara.
Morocco has lodged a strong note of protest with the French
Embassy in Rabat In Libya, the prime minister recently con
demned French plans, and the local press is unanimously crit-
ical of them. The provisional agenda of the forthcoming confer-
ence of nine independent African states at Monrovia already in-
cludes the subject of Saharan nuclear tests, and the African
nations are expected to endorse a resolution critical of France's
proposed activity.

formed them of its latest proposed overflights. Paris may have
decided against discussing the matter with London in view of the

proceed with its proposed overflights of Libya on 29 July and

I. THE COMMUNIST BLOC
Khrushchev Reportedly Plans Visit to Rumania
Khrushchev reportedly plans to visit Bucharest in late
August in conjunction with the celebration of Rumania's 15th
"liberation" anniversary on 23 August. Reports from British
US, and Austrian diplomats stationed in Bucharest in icate
that active plans were under way for this visit at least ten days
before Khrushchev canceled his 9-27 August visit to Scandinavia.
The American air attache in Bucharest learned. from a suppos-
edly reliable source early in June that a visit-by :Khrushchev was
definitely planned for late August. Despite the seeming conflict
in travel plans, the projected Rumanian visit probably had no
bearing on the decision to cancel his Scandinavian trip.
Within the past five months Khrushchev has made major
state visits to East Germany, Albania, and Poland. This would
be his first official state visit to Rumania, although he -has visited
that country twice before. Khrushchev would undoubtedly avail
himself of the opportunity to survey at firsthand the status of
Rumania's accelerated domestic program and might discuss mat-
ters which will be considered at the third Rumanian Communist
party congress, probably to be held in December.
Unconfirmed reports persist that Khrushchev may also visit
Sofia in conjunction with Bulgaria's "liberation" ceremonies on
9 September. His commitments in the near future include a ses-
sion with a visiting British Labor party delegation headed by
party leader Hugh Gaitskoll on 29 August, and. possibly attend-
ance at a reported bloc summit meeting in Moscow early in
August.

Nftoi II. ASIA-AFRICA
Africans Critical of French Nuclear Tests in Sahara
French plans to hold nuclear tests in the Sahara are arous-
ing a growing storm of criticism among African leaders who
profess fear of the effects of radiation. They also probably see
in the issue a popular subject for anticolonialist propaganda.
Several nations have already lodged official protests, the press
has given increased coverage, and labor unions have called for
mass protests. In early August, a conference in Monrovia of
nine independent African states is expected to pass a resolution
condemning France. 25X1
[In the most recent action, Morocco--where the prospective
tests will almost certainly heighten agitation for the evacuation
of foreign forces- -last week lodged a strong note of protest wi
the French Embassy in Rabat] In Libya the prime minister's
press bulletin has condemned the French, and the Libyan press
appears unanimous in its criticism of Paris. Tunis is also
deeply concerned, and the local American Embassy believes
the foreign secretary will push the matter at the August confer-
ence in Monrovia.
Ghana and Liberimade official protests to France earlier
in July, an the subject of nuclear testing was discussed at the
recent meeting at Sanniquellie of West Africa's three leading ~u
spokesman. The topic is already on the provisional agenda of
the Monrovia conference, and a critical resolution will prob-
ably be supported by all the participants with the possible ex-
ception of Ethiopia. The subject was given attention in April
1958 at the first conference of independent African states at
Accra and was on the agenda of the Accra meeting last Decem-
ber.
The issue has attracted considerable popular attention,
aroused in part by extensive press treatment. In early. July,
after university studies on the possible effects of nuclear blasts
were released, crowds, stimulated by government officials,
demonstrated in front of the French. Embassy in Accra. Sim-
ilarly, in Nigeria the press has developed a. strong campaign
and the .leading university has published studies on the dangers
of radiation.
