NOTES
A. Yugoslavia-USSR Belgrade rumors have it that Khrush-
chev's scheduled trip to Yugoslavia in early June
will be postponed
B. USSR - West Berlin The Soviets are calling Chancel-
lor Adenauer's planned trip to West Berlin with
President Kennedy "provocative." Their argument:
since West Berlin is not a part of West Germany--as
US has confirmed--the head of the Government of West
Germany has nothing to do with West Berlin.
C. Britain Lord Home, in expressing London's reserva-
tions about the NATO Multilateral Force to Secretary
Rusk at Ottawa, indicated that the additional cost--
some $28 million--might prove to be the last straw.
The Macmillan government is more worried about Bri-
tish military objections than Labor's "ambivalent"
attitude.
D. North Korea - US Pyongyang's representative at
the military armistice meeting yesterday was still
stalling on return of helicopter pilots. No date
was set for the next meeting.
E. Indonesia Sukarno has agreed to review the Caltex
and Btanvac oil problems with a US special emissary,
preferably in Rome during his annual vacation. Am-
bassador Jones gathered from Sukarno's responses
during this last-minute appeal that Sukarno had prob-
ably not been completely informed by his subordinates
on the deterioration of the negotiations.
