1., Soviet Party Central
Committee in session
2. Laotian princes meet in
Zurich
3. Balaguer giving in to
Trujillo elements
We believe a special meeting of the
committee opened in Moscow today. Its
agenda may include:
0 High-Level personnel changes, es-
pecially if the balance of power among
Rhrushchev's subordinates has been upset
by Kozlov's illness;
b) ..A report on the Vienna meeting;
c) Relations with China and Albania;
d) The Party Congress scheduled for
October.

After the first meeting this morning
Phoumi announced an agreement to seek
formation of a "government of national
unity." Given the expressed views of
the three, we doubt that this will be
easily achieved, but we think they will
seriously attempt it. In Laos itself,
the Communists renewed pressure yester-
day on government forces which were 50X1
driven out of Ban Hat Bo on 13 June.
The Dominican president has eased the
OAS investigators out of the country
and on Wednesday allowed his foreign
minister to renege on his promise that
they could return at any time. The
government has stopped its efforts to
establish better contacts with the US
Consulate, and the Consulate last night
reported a number of indications that
the police apparatus has gone back into
action. 50X1

4. Philippine Foreign Minister Serrano has been concerned over what he
worried over direction of feels is a softening of US Laotian
US policy policy, and believes US recognition of
Outer Mongolia would be an indication
of a broader policy shift. He warned
Ambassador Hickerson on 13 June that
? anti-Communist Asians would have to re-
vise their policy toward the US if they
had to rely on their own resources to
stay independent. 50X1
5. First Soviet jet fighters
probably delivered to
Cuba
6. French found Algerian
rebels completely un-
compromising at Evian
7. Soviet ICBM shot aborts
A Soviet ship arrived Thursday with 18
crates on deck of a type usually used 50X1
for shipment of MIG-15's and 17's.
The French insist they will not resume
the talks until the Algerians respond 50X1
to the French unilateral cease fire.
While both sides have shown no will-
ingness to compromise so far, neither
is willing to break off negotiations
completely.
A test at Tyura Tam early yesterday
morning either failed immediately afteami
launch or was cancelled at the last
minute'./Previously this year there
have been ten successful ICBM shots,
six failures, and three with undeter-
mined results.

Unlike the routine shows of recent years,
we expect the Soviets to demonstrate
some new types of aircraft, as well as
air-to-air and air-to-surface missiles.
One new bomber, apparently supersonic, 50X1
has already been spotted in rehearsal.
Our present guess is that the show will
take place on 9 July./

The first two TU-16's (comparable to the
B-47) will arrive late this month, under
agreements signed since last September50X1
The Soviets have never given aircraft of
this capability to any nation, even in
the bloc. The main point is the pres-
tige which will accrue to the Indone-
sians.
