3. Hilsman Reports:
a. "Soviet Strategy in UN Discussions of Cuba"
Not much new except that Hilsman predicts the Soviets
will seek to promote "compromise" proposals which tend to under-
cut the US position. (ER 62-7833)
b. "Soviets Continue to Seek Abandonment of Quarantine
While Missiles Stay"
Hilsman reported on Friday that Soviet strategy is designed
to gain time and flexibility for political action and to get the quarantine
stopped while the missiles stay in Cuba. (ER 62-7848)
c. "Hungarian in Charge of Destalinization Becomes Its
Gyorgi Marosan, Politburo and Secretariat memberyhas
been ousted and thus has become a victim of the processes he helped
to set in motion. Personal rivalries apparently played a key role
in his fall. (ER 62-7803)
d. "The Resurgence of Politics in France"
Although Hilsman's people predicted the winning of the

in the elections scheduled for November 18 and 25. (ER 62-7802)

pressures on the US to end the quarantine and give rise to compro-
mise proposals.
f. "Communist Chinese Statements Concerning Japan"
An historical paper of overt quotations dating back to
1951. (ER 62-7759)
