NOTES
USSR-Egypt Khrushchev will arrive in Cairo
next Saturday(
He will depart from Odessa
on Wednesday for a leisurely boat trip.
B. Rumania-US A Rumanian Government industrial
and commercial delegation hopes to begin talks
in Washington next Friday. Included in its
shopping list are rubber plants, chemical and
synthetics factories, several oil industry
plants, a nuclear power station, and a glass
factory.
C. Communist China Prospects for the winter wheat
crop are not bright. The crop, plagued with
unseasonal cold and excessive moisture, is now
threatened by an infestation of rust, which the
Chinese are ill-equipped to handle. At present,
Chinese grain purchases abroad are running at
about the same rate as last year's record level.
D. UK The latest Gallup Poll shows a further
decline in the popularity of the Conservative
Party. Labor is now 13.5 percent ahead.
E. Cuba Castro devoted about a fifth of his May
Day speech to the issue of US overflights. He
stressed Cuba's determination to bring about an
end to the flights by violence if necessary, but
stressed even more his regime's determination
to exhaust every peaceful means before taking
action against them.
