611,"- Soviet Space Vehicles: Doviet intentions to launch another
� vehicle soon, probably a space vehicle, are indicated by re-
curring practice exercises on the Tyura Tam Missile Test
Range following the lunar-related failures on 15 and 1.6 April,
The next optimum period for a lunar-associated launch is be-
tween 7 and 14 May, although the USSR also has the capability
to launch a lunar vehicle at other less favorable times. Al-
most two years have elapsed since the launching of Sputnik
III, and, with the summit conference approaching, the USSR
0 would probably consider it advantageous to have a recently
launched scientific space vehicle in evidence.
Although the specific nature and purpose of the next
vehicle cannot be predicted with any degree of certainty, an
Instrumented lunar satellite or an unmanned lunar "soft land-
ing" seem most likely. It is also possible that the USSR may
launch a major scientific earth satellite, perhaps with a re-
coverable package. The optimum periods for probes toward
Mars and Venus do not recur until the fall of 1960 and early 1961

I. THE COMMUNIST BLOC
Chou En-lard Visit to Nepal.
Communist China's Premier Chou En-lai left Katmandu
on 29 April after a three-day visit during which he took every
opportunity to increase Peiping's influence in Nepal. Stress-
ing the advantages of closer economic cooperation, Chou-char-
acterized both Nepal and Communist China as "poor" nations
which must help each other--"the Chinese Government is will-
ing to give support within its capability for the construction
of Nepal." Chinese aid, now totaling $33,600,000, is "sincere,
without any condition attached," Chou said. He proposed
that some of these grant funds be used to build a road linking
Tibet and Nepal.
Chou stressed that the Sino-Nepalese border problem could
easily be settled in a manner "satisfactory to both sides." This
attempt to make it appear that Nehru was the intransigent part-
ner to the recent unsuccessful border talks in New Delhi was
highlighted by Chou's denial that Communist China had any
intention of claiming the southern slopes of Mount Everest.
Just before leaving Katmandu, Chou and Nepal's Prime
Minister Koirala signed a treaty of peace and friendship omit-
ting the clause on military nonalignment reportedly sought by
the Chinese. The joint communiqu�however, did include
expressions of sympathy and support for Afro-Asian national-
ist movements. Reportedly, Chou had attempted to get Nehru
to do this in the joint Sino-Indian communiqu�igned on 25
April, but the Indian prime minister refused. Chou, who in-
tends these statements to make it appear that Peiping is lin-
ing up support for national liberation, also tried unsuccessfully
to get Nehru to join him in a recommendation for an Afro-Asian
conferencej
Chou's irritation with the lack of progress in the Sino-In-
dian talks was reflected in his charge on 29 April that Nehru
had been "unfriendly" when he told the Indian Parliament on
26 April that China had committed aggression in Ladakh. -

Acting South Korean Chief of State Indicates Heavy
Reliance on US
__outh Korean acting chief of state Ho Chong has given Ambas-
sador McConaughy the impression that he will lean heavily on the
United States for support to strengthen his position. Ho assured
the ambassador on 28 April that he hoped to promote the closest
possible relations between the two countries and requested a public
statement of support for his caretaker cabinett--to aid in "calming
down the situationD
Lo particularly requested American assistance in making a com-
plete overhaul of the police system. In response to public demands
that the police be politically neutralized, the home minister has an-
nounced that most provincial police chiefs will be dismissed and that
college graduates would be hired as the first step toward reforming
the National Police force,
policemen
charged with atrocities are being arrested and investigated.
ao also emphasized that he wanted to normalize relations with
Japan. He indicated, however, that before this could be done he
would need American assistance in persuading Tokyo to end the re-
patriation of Koreans in Japan to North Korea. The resignation of
South Korea's ambassador. to Japan, Yu Tae-ha, lends further hope
for improved relations with Tokyo. Yu's machinations have been a
major deterrent to any settlement of outstanding differencest?
ilapanese Prime Minister Kishi, impressed by Ho's recognition
of the urgency of a settlement between the two countries, had his
foreign minister issue a statement promising Japan would do the
utmost to promote friendly relations. The Japanese Foreign Minis-
try is cautiously optimistic that a new era in Tokyo-Seoul rela-
tions is possib1,23

Student Demonstrations Spread in� Turkey
Student rioting spread on 29 April to at least seven other
cities after originating in Istanbul on the preceding day. Some
of the most serious rioting occurred in the capital, Ankara, where
several students were reported killed. Reports in Ankara indicate
that Erzurum in eastern Turkey, site of Ataturk University, was
also the scene of serious demonstrations. Other cities affected by
the student demonstrations against the repressive policies of the
Menderes government are Izmir, Adana, Trabzon, Sivas, and Sam-
sun. Martial law, applied in Istanbul and Ankara on 28 April, may
soon be imposed on the entire nation. Thus far, there has been no
evidence that the riots have assumed an anti-American character.
Reports indicate that the demonstrators have been almost ex-
clusively, students, with the general public taking no active part in
the rioting. The police have been the special target of the students,
while detachments of soldiers sent to assist the police have usually
been greeted as potential allies against the government. There
have been no reports, however, of troops joining with the students.
Premier Menderes addressed the nation and called for calm
on 29 April. He also denounced the "party fanatics" who have insti-
gated the demonstrations= an apparent reference to the leaders of
the opposition Republican People's party (RPP). The premier prom-
ised swift punishment for those responsible for the riots and stated
his government's intention to preserve peace and tranquillity. A
Ministry of Interior statement on the same day specifically blamed
the �RPP for instigating the demonstrations in Istanbul on the 28th.

Pressures Mount in Indonesia
Lrrgssures by the army ana anti-communist political par-
ties in Indonesia to prevent installation of President Sukarno's
appointed parliament have reached the point of provoking ex-
changes between Djakarta and Sukarno, now midway on a two-
month global tour. The 261-member parliament is approxi-
mately 25-percent Communist and was appointed by Sukarno
in late March to replace the elected body he had dissolved
earlier the same monthg
cting President Djuanda reportedly has advised Sukarno
to reconsider his plan to install the parliament in June.
the President remains deter-
mined to install and maintain the new parliament until elections
are held in 1962. Sukarno has reportedly sent back orders
that "no principal measure" is to be taken before his return
and that newspapers which are criticizing his policies should
be banned. While the dailies have not been banned,
Army Chief of Staff Nasution, who
is concurrently security minister, ordered the papers to cease
criticism of Sukarno but continue antiparliamentary articles.
Recent issues of the newspapers concerned tend to substanti-
ate these report19
{Army leadership has insisted that the recently formed coali-
tion, the Democratic League, and the newspapers which sup-
port the league must take the initiative in opposing Sukarno.
The league now is attempting to create regional opposition to
the parliament. Army support of these activities, although
covert, has become an open secret. Should pressures by
the army and political parties prove insufficient to keep Sukarno
from installing parliament in June, the President, in retali-
ation for army opposition, might further reduce Nasution's
power or even dismiss him/

coup during Sukarno's absence or shortly after his return )4._1:',/

Moroccans Apparently Plan to Use VOA Facilities on Behalf
Of Algerian Rebels
dhe director of Radio Maroc, the Moroccan Uovernment's
broadcasting facility, has informed an American newspaper re-
porter that his network will shortly begin to broadcast programs
prepared in conjunction with the Algerian rebels' provisional gov-
ernment. These programs would total 21 hours weekly and be
addressed to "eastern Algeria." Apparently these broadcasts are
to emanate from the Voice of America's Tangier. installation. Un-
der the agreement of 31 December 1959 extending VOA relay opera-
tions in Morocco until the end of 1963, the Moroccan Government
can use up to 80 hours of broadcast time weekly from the Tangier
facilities; Moroccan broadcasts from VOA transmitters are ex-
pected to begin on 30 April:7
[Last January, the French Foreign Ministry protested the con-
clusion of the VOA operations agreement, pointing out that facil-
ities accorded the Moroccans would enable them to expand broad-
casting to Algeria and the east and thereby cause trouble for France.-

III. THE WEST
Prospects for Cuban May. Day. Rally
The mammoth May. Day rally, planned to demonstrate over-
whelming support for Fidel Castro, seems certain to be primarily
a concentrated attack on the United States and on what remains
of private enterprise in Cuba. Developmentswhich the US Embassy
considers likely include announcements of the nationalization of
public services and of the reorganization of the labor movement
under strict government control, statements that there must be
some change in the status of the US Naval Base at Guatanamo Bay,
and calls for puerto Rican freedom� and Panamanian control of the
Panama Canal. Castro is expected to condemn strongly alleged
US intervention in Cuba through political and economic pressures
and "bombings."
Castro may also try a political gambit, such as setting a date
to hold elections in order to deflect criticism of his dictatorial gov-
ernment. An announcement on May. Day that diplomatic relations
with the USSR will be resumed is considered by the embassy to be
unlikely, tiut reports that an
"Important" Cuban-Soviet announcement is planned for 8 IVlayj
The US service attaches report that the Castro government
for the first time is having to use strong-arm methods and threats
to ensure large attendance at the rally. Government controlled
Radio Mambi is haranguing its listeners to be present to show the
world that there "is a small nation ready to face up to the colossus
of imperialism."
Organizers of a simultaneous large demonstration in Santiago,
capital of western Oriente Province, have not yet stressed the anti-
US campaign. However, the principle speaker at Santiago will be
