DAILY BRIEF
I. THE COMMUNIST BLOC
USSR: In recent speeches, Premier Khrushchev and
senior Eviet military officials have stated that a separate
4 missile command has been established in the USSR, with
Chief Marshal of Artillery M. I. Nedelin as its commander.
The composition of the newly announced rocket command and
, the types o nder its control cannot be determined
at present. (Page 1)
IL ASIA-AFRICA
South Vietnam: [-president Diem shows no inclination to
liberalize his regime despite discontent within the government
and rising public criticism. Isolated from this dissatisfaction,
he dismisses his local critics as opportunists, crackpots, or
crypto-Communists. Diem has, however, indicated concern
over international reaction, particularly. American, to criticism
of his governmen.0 ) (Page 3)
Iraq: The Qasim regime, trying to block attempts by anti-
regime elements to take control of the socialistic National
Democratic party, has nullified the election of party leaders
representing the faction of the party led by Kamil Chadirchi.
The Chadirchi faction has demanded withdrawal of the partyt
support for Qasim. This move strengthens party elements led
(-1 by Muhammad Hadid, minister of finance who resigned from the
cabinet last week, presumably as a tactical move. The Hadid
faction insists on the party's participation in the cabinet.

Belgian Congo: Increasing instances of violence in the
Belgian Congo, stemming both from political factors and from
historic tribal rivalries, pose a serious threat to internal se-
curity. Police appear reluctant to intervene in any dispute
having political or tribal overtones, thereby leaving responsi-
bility for public order to the Force Publique, consisting of
Belgian officersandnative troops. Some Africans as well as
Europeans fear that the security situation will deteriorate fur-
ther folrine proclamatio7 of the Congo's independence on
30 June. (Page 4)

I. THE COMMUNIST BLOC
Establishment of a Separate Rocket Command Within
The USSR Reported
Premier IChrushchey and senior Soviet military officials
have stated in recent speeches that a separate missile command
has been established in the USSR,with Chief Marshal of Artillery
M. I. Nedelin as its commander.
Khrushchev, in his speech before the Supreme Soviet, is
quoted as having referred to the formation of "a strategic rocket
command." Moscow press releases in English cite Nedelin as
"commander in chief of the rocket forces of the Soviet Army."
Marshal Grechko, commander of the Soviet ground forces and
a first deputy minister of defense, announced on 6 May: "Rocket
troops. . . have been formed into a separate service with its own
command." Press reports quoted Defense Minister Marshal Mal-
inovsky as referring on May Day to "soldiers of the army, fleet,
and rocketry:'
Marshal Nedelin, identified as a deputy minister of defense
in February 1955, has held all of the most important positions as-
sociated with the artillery forces and has been promoted rapidly
since World War II over the head of many senior artillery officers.
In May 1959 he was promoted to chief marshal of artillery�the
second officer in the history of the Soviet Army to hold such rank.
As a deputy minister, he is on a level with the commanders in chief
of the various arms of services. He is apparently chief of a high
echelon of the Ministry of Defense.
His importance in the actual Soviet rocket weapons research
and development program is shown by his personal supervision in
September 1958 of an elaborate demonstration for high-ranking
military and governmental officials of all major ballistic missiles
being tested at Kapustin Yar. He may have attended the ICBM shot

from Tyura Tam on 30 July 1959, the first launching in which
only four hours of the countdown appeared on range communica-
tions.
The degree to which the new rocket command will control
missile units throughout the Soviet armed forces is not yet clear.
The suspected ballistic missile division under the operational
control of the 5th Long Range Air Force in the Soviet Far East
continues active in communications.

Growing Pressure kir Liberalization in South Vietnam
[South Vietnamese President Diem thus far has shown no
inclination to liberalize his regime despite discontent within
the government and rising public criticism. He holds that
the Communist threat to the nation requires firm leadership,
and views any concessions in the other direction as dangerous,
if not fatal, under present circumstances. This inflexible
stand largely proceeds from Diem's tough-minded personality,
but a contributing factor is that� subordinate officials do not
yet have the temerity to speak in his presence on this issuej
CA_ number of important Vietnamese figures, including
high government officials, labor organizers, members of the
National Assembly, and leaders of political parties have pri-
vately expressed their discontent and frustration with their
"puppet" roles. Their complaint is that Diem's refusal to
delegate authority beyond a tight circle of relatives and close
associates has paralyzed effective government; fostered fa-
voritismand corruption,, and facilitated Communist subversion.
The venal activities of the government's elite political in-
strument --the Can Lao organization, led by Diem's brother,
Ngo Dinh Nhu--are basic to much of this criticism. Resent-
ment extends even to the military, to a lesser known degree,
as a result of the Can Lao's efforts to establish political cells
among the armed forces3
[-Diem scores public criticism of his regime as the work of
opportunists, crackpots, or crypto-Communists. He has ex-
pressed disdain for the public petition for more democratic
practices issued in Saigon on 30 April by a group of former.
Vietnamese government officials and civic leaders. However,
he has indicated concern over international reaction, and
reportedly summoned an adviser to brief him on "what Ameri-
cans were sayingolD

Continuing Disorders Threaten Internal Security
In Belgian Congo
Increasing instances of violence in the Belgian Congo, stem-
ming both from political factors and from historic tribal rivalries,
pose a serious threat to internal security. Disorders in Stanley-
ville and Luluabourg from 3 to 5 May have heightened anxiety among
Europeans, many of whom plan to leave the Congo before it becomes
independent on 30 June. The Stanleyville riots of 3 May, in which
European cars were stoned, were the first major instance of vio-
lence directed against Europeans.
The primary agency for internal security in the Congo remains
the 28,000-man, Belgian-officered Force Publique. Despite occa-
sional reports which have cast doubt on its political reliability, the
Force Publique to date has stayed aloof from Congolese politics and
has been a major stabilizing factor in the colony. In the past year,
however, it has been hard pressed to maintain order between the
Lulua and Baluba tribes in Kasai Province, where intermittent war-
fare has cost several hundred lives. The absence of any formal
agreement concerning the status of the Force Publique following the
Congo's independence has been a source of apprehension to many
Africans as well as Europeans.
Among the factors detrimental to the maintenance of order are
inflammatory oratory, in connection with the current campaign for a
Congo legislature, the inability of Congolese leaders to control their
followers, and the general excitement of the populace in anticipa-
tion of independence. The consulate general in Leopoldville reports
an increasing reluctance on the part of the police to intervene in cases
of violence having political or tribal overtones.
