DAILY BRIEF
I. THE COMMUNIST BLOC
Czechoslovakia -India: Czechoslovakia, the second bloc
country to commit itself to aid for India's Third Five-Year
Plan (1961-66), on 24 November extended a $46,000,000
credit for the construction of heavy industrial projects. The
USSR agreed in July to provide an initial credit of $375,000,000
for the third plan. Bloc credits to India since 1955 now total
almost $750,000,000, less than $175,000,000 of which has been
delivered. Most of the aid projects agreed on earlier will be
implemented after the start of the third plan.
. II. ASIA-AFRICA
Yemen: he Imam has armed and alerted at least 2000
loyal tribesmen after learning of a plot aimed at his overthrow.
The leader of the plot, according to a 24 November message
from the Imam to Crown Prince Badr, is the sheik of the
Hashid tribe of northern Yemen. The sheikfr xesentihk the
Imam's orders to return a subsidy granted him by Badr last
summer, apparently, has planned an assassination attempt. He
may also be in league with the tribal group which earlier this
month sousrlit Rritish sunnort for a revolt against the Imani.
Tunisia: Tumsian ioreign policy may Lie moving Lowcu-u
a more neutral position. The government, which a few weeks
, ago claimed it would not accept a resident Czechoslovak am-
bassador, apparently now will accept the Czech nominee and
V also name a Tunisian ambassador to Prague. Tunisia has also
agreed to the establishment of diplomatic relations with Poland,
and Bourguiba has declared his intention of "normalizing rela-
tions" with the USSR early in 1960. I

Japan: Prospects for the development of an effective anti-
Communist Japanese Democratic Socialist party have improved
with the defection on 25 November of twelve more Diet mem-
bers from the leftist-dominated Japan Socialist party. The twelve
immediately moved with the moderate Socialist group to organ-
ize the preparatory committee for the new party, which is to be
officially established in January. The Diet strength of the mod-
erate Socialist group now totals 45--about one fifth of the Social-
ist? strength in the Diet. The new party's staying power will
depend not only on attracting additional Diet members but also
on developing local support organizations.
III. THE WEST
Cuba-USSR-IVIexicoCSoviet Deputy Premier Anastas Mikoyan
may be invited to visit Cuba by pro-Communist Cuban leader "Chee
Guevara. Guevara reportedly will attend a dinner to be given on
26 November in Mexico City by Mikoyan. Mikoyan on 19 Novem-
ber said he had no plans to go to Havana;
\`
Mexican press reaction to Mikoyan's visit to Mexico to in-
augurate the Soviet cultural and industrial exhibition has been
predominantly critical to date. Criticism has centered on Mikoyan's
propaganda attacks against the United States
� France: A considerable number of French deputies, irked
over the Debre government's high-handed treatment of the Na-
tional Assembly, are using the politically popular issue of vet-
erans' pensions to press the first vote of censure under a provi-
sion of the new constitution. While there is broad sentiment in
\\\,`-' favor of the Socialist-sponsored censure motion which comes to
a vote on 27 November, the majority of the deputies are probably
not ready to risk the dissolution of the assembly which De Gaulle
has threatened if the cabinet is censured by the assembly
