Reaction to US test
resumption announcement
2. Brazil tension eases
Information so far is limited to
early reactions in Britain and
Japan. The story dominated the
front pages of this morning's
British newspapers, with most
pointing out that the step mas
prompted by three Soviet tests
in five days and noting that US
underground testing would not
pollute the atm9sphere. The
Japanese response, less sympathetic,
has included an official government
communication to our embassy
"strongly urging" that the decision
not be implemented. Moscow has
reported the announcement factually
in a broadcast to Europe, but has
not yet informed its own population
of the US decision or of its own
tests.
1) Goulart arrived in Brasilia
last night without incident. A
last-ditch effort by military
extremists is still a possibility,
but their prospects appear to be
fading;
2) no date has yet been set for
Goulart's inauguration and the next
few days are likely to produce
considerable jockeying over the
composition of his cabinet;
3) we have no firm line yet on the
prime minister, but Moura Andrade
figures high in the speculation
within Brazil. He is the 46-year
old acting President of the Senate,
and a member of the conservative
Social Democratic party

3. Berlin developments
//-
a) On Sunday and Monday East German
police attempted unsuccessfully to
substitute themselves for Soviet
controllers in checking the pass-
ports of official US travellers
going to and from Berlin on the
autobahn;

4. Nonaligned conference
staements
The Belgrade Declaration, the second
of two statements issued by the 50X1
conference, reveals the anticipated
compromise. It shows that the
moderates, led by U Nu and Nehru,
agreed to sharp stands on some
anticolonial issues in return for
statements on current East - West
issues, such as disarmament and
nuclear testing, which were im-
partial or favored the Western
position. The moderates also
succeeded in holding back pressure 50X1
from Tito and others for recognition
of the existence of two Germanys.

cancellation of the 15-25 50X1
September NATO exercises in the Greek-
Turkish-Bulgarian border area, may 50X1
be the prelude to joint Bloc maneuvers
in the Balkans. The fact that the
Turks have not been treated to com-
parable pressures probably reflects
Moscow's view of the Greeks as NATO's
weak link. 50X1

NOTES
A. In addition to the tests at Semipalatinsk and those evidently
scheduled in the Arctic, there are some indications that testing
, may take place at Totskoye (about 600 miles southeast of Moscow).
It is believed that this proving ground was last used in 1954
to demonstrate tactical nuclear weapons. Activity, possibly
foreshadowing a nuclear event, has also been noted in c7 nnection
with, the Kapustin Yar missile test range.
