1. Origin of story on
Soviet German propgr-sAL
I i
Our Embassy in Moscow has definitely
established that American correspond-
ents there got their story oh the 50X1
!!new" 4-point proposal from Soviet
sources. Ambassador Thompson inter-
prets the maneuver as a Soviet effort
to speed up moves toward negotiations.
50X1
2. Soviet feelers on Their UN representatives have lately
disarmament negotia- been trying to sound out our position
tions through the Canadians. They told the
latter earlier this week that they
would welcome further bilateral dis-
cussions with the US on disputed
points, such as the make-up of the
negotiating forum, and that they
hope to renew negotiations "early
next year." Other statements to
the Canadians indicate that they
would like to avoid extensive debate
on disarmament in the UN.

4. Algerian developments
5.. Congo
De Gaulle's recent public admission
that the Provisional Government has
the majority of the Algerian popula-
tion behind it removes what has been
a major obstacle to the success of
current negotiations by easing-the
rebel government's fears for its
own future in Algeria. At the same
time, he has been offering very
little consolation to the European
settlers, who may take out their
frustrations in the demonstrations
scheduled for this weekend.
The Katangan government has lost
Albertville in northeast Katanga
to a Gizengist force which invaded
from Kivu province to the north.
The Tshombe government, whose hold
on the Baluba tribal areas in
northern Katanga has been tenuous,
offered virtually no resistance.

however, preparations are under 50X1

6. Khrushchev comments
to Italian elaborated
?
In addition to reports carried in the
press on Khrushchev's interview late
last month with Codacci-Pisanelli,
head of the Interparliamentary Union,
our Embassy in Rome has learned the
following: (1) Khrushchev said that
he had abandoned his December 31
deadline on an East German peace
treaty "in order to remove the quality
of ultimatum"; (2) he told the Italian
that he should tell the US, French and
British that Khrushchev really wanted
to negotiate; (3) when Codacci
observed that negotiations implied
readiness to modify positions,
Khrushchev replied that he understood
and that Codacci should pass that on,
too.

NOTES
A. The sudden but brief show of Military might in Ciudad Trujillo
on Thursday is still unexplained. Our Consul: there, who saw
President Balaguer just before the demonstration, reported him
to be confident that all was normal in the armed forces.
B. Former President Inonu was chosen premier of Turkey yesterday
more than 3 weeks after the election which returned the country
to nominal civilian rule. This outcome should mollify the
military, whose patience with civilian politics had already
begun to wear extremely thin.
C. An outbreak of anti-American violence is threatening in
Bolivia, where leftist and Communist agitators are getting
a receptive hearing for allegations that the US is to blame
for economic distress. The government, miffed over the
recent cancellation of an aid credit, might make only token
gestures to curb street demonstrations.
D. Ambassador Kennan reports considerable embarrassment in
Belgrade over a number of recent rebuffs from Moscow, including
renewed heresy charges at the Soviet Party Congress. He notes
that doubts about the soundness of Belgrade's demonstrative
support of Soviet foreign policies are already prevalent in
some sections of Yugoslav officialdom.
E. The Venezuelan government, which expects its intended diplo-
matic break With Cuba to be the signal for anti-Betancourt
disturbances, is taking preventive security measures.
