1. Taiwan Strait
50X1
b. No new military movements have
been detected in the Foochow Military
Region. There are, however, tentative
indications of a redeployment, involving
at least elements of two divisions,
along the southern coast of Chekiang
Province, immediately to the north.
Air and naval activit the
area appears normal. 50X1
C. The belief t a elping s
primary goal has been to put National-
ist China off balance politically is
gaining ground among top officials
in Taipei.
Chinese Communist treatment
of the President's press conference
notes, and even stresses by indirec-
tion, references to the US' defensive
intent. This seems to be designed to
head off any panic reaction on the
part of the population. At the same
time, the regime is using the threat
of Chinese Nationalist "Aggression" to
get whatever dividends it can by calling
on the people for stepped-up production.

2. West New Guinea
3. Algeria
a. Sukarno has accepted the
Dutch assurances and has given the
go-ahead for new talks. Subandrio be-
lieves they can get under way late
this week or the beginning of next,
at the outside.
b. Having said this,. Subandrio
went on to give Jones a preview of what
could become the major sticking points
in the next round of talks. He intimated
that Djakarta will press to have the
time-table for the transfer of administra-
tion cut back from the two years en-
visaged in the Bunker plan; and, that
the Indonesians will put their backs
up if the Dutch try to obtain a cease- 50X1
fire.
As the referendum results continue
to record the expected landslide for
independence, the Algerian Nationalist
factions are edging closer toward an
open break. Troops loyal to the PAG
are reportedly drawn up along the
Tunisian border to block the entrance
into Algeria of the more militant
elements of the Liberation Army. The
latter have declared their defiance of
the PAG and say they will continue to
obey orders from the military commanders
who were cashiered by the PAG on
Saturday.

4. Argentina
The government government is deeply mired
in economic troubles. Economic Minister
Alsogaray is on his way out for failure
to find remedies for ailments which
have produced a record number of bank-
ruptcies, spreading unemployment, and
a depreciating currency. On top of
a loss of public confidence, the govern-
ment is faced with growing restiveness
in the armed forces, some elements of
which have not been paid since April.

A. Khrushchev is scheduled to go on the air later today, ostensibly
to report on his recent trip to Rumania. He can be counted
on, however, to go beyond that subject and could offer some
hint on how Moscow views the Taiwan Strait situation.
B. In Laos, Communist China, East Germany, and North Vietnam
have gotten the diplomatic jump on their non-Communist
counterparts. Vientiane this morning announced its
recognition of those three plus Poland and Czechoslovakia.
C. Ambassador Martin reports that the sugar legislation issue
has backed the Dominican government into a corner politically,
but he is convinced that Saturday's go-it-alone statement was
designed almost solely to cut the ground out from under the
Leftist opposition.
D.
The propaganda apparatus in East Germany, where the regime has
had to concede publicly that there is a serious food shortage,
has been given the job of telling the people that they
to pull in their belts because relief is not in sight.
