II. ASIA-AFRICA
UAR-Israel-Iraq: While no new UAR troop movements
into Sinai have been noted, some reserve units reportedly
have been called up in both Syria and Egypt. Units deployed
In Sinai have been issued extra artillery ammunition. Some
additional Syrian troops have been ordered to the Israeli
frontier. Nasir was informed that Lebanese
Army intelligence had information that certain Israeli Army
units had been strengthened along the Syrian border, but that
these measures appeared to be prerautionary and that no at-
tack against Syria was expected.

=mist government elements are hopeful that the lack of rap-
port between President Sukarno and Khrushchev and the latter's
casual attitude and behavior, apparently irritating to Sukarno,
will obviate a "deal" between the two. Dependable sources
earlier told American officials they believed Sukarno was will-
ing to include Communists in the Indonesian cabinet and further
reduce the army's power in return for major economic and mil-
itary assistance from thci USSR.

India - East Germany: lIndian Foreign Ministry Secre-
tary Dutt believes India may be compelled to recognize East
Germany by the end of 1960. Although Nehru has made it
clear to East German representatives that he has no inten-
tion of extending such recognition in the near future, Dutt cur-
rently believes trade and political considerations may force
Nehru to change his nog:M(1/1-1
III. THE WEST
France: he initial series of French nuclear tests is ex-
pected to involve three additional e
devices,
'ine next shot is planned before May and possibly
within a month. The third and fourth shots in the series are
planned for the fall of 1960, presumably after September, when
the summer heat abates. A version of the device suitable for use
as a weapon is not expected, however, for about a year. The ex-
tent of adverse foreign reaction to the first test has reportedly
annoyed President De Gaulle and will probably stimulate France
to study means for underground testing. One of the three remain-
ing shots may be an underground test�lthough the site hss nnt
yet been selertern
Peru: a Peruvian Communist congressman has requested
Moscow to grant a loan for reconstruction in the area of south-
ern Peru affected by the earthquake on 15 January and is said to
have received an encouraging response. The reported reply of-
fered a loan of $7,100,000�not a usual form of Soviet disaster
relief�conditioned on official government acceptance from Lima
While the conservative Peruvian Government would prefer not to
accept this offer, Prime Minister Beltran informed the US Em-
bassy in Lima that he was on the spots intimatin that h
feel obliged to accent
Luba: The Caistr vernmen is gtowing rapport with the TJAR
may be used to facilitate purchase of arms and the aircraft C
has been seeking in many countries.
