THE COMMUNIST BLOC *USSR: Unscheduled flights to Moscow from several bloc caiiitirg between 13 and 16 June suggest that a meeting of bloc leaders may take place in Moscow before Khrushchev's expected departure for Bucharest to attend the Rumanian party congress scheduled for 20 June. The Chinese Communists may also attend; one of the flights went from Moscow to Pei- ping on 14 June, and probably left Peiping on its return flight on 16 June. there would be a meeting of bloc leaders in Moscow between 16 and 20 June.3 En route home from Paris, Khrushchev said twice in Berlin that he would be discussing future policy in the light of the sum- mit failure with other members of the bloc. The Soviet Union, In the 12 and 13 June Pravda articles, has firmly reasserted its position on the isFIETTC, dispute with Peiping; in the event of a bloc meeting, discussion of the Sino-Soviet dispute would be unavoidable. (Page 1) USSR! Soviet delegates at both the disarmament and nuclear test talks Geneva have issued thinly veiled warnings that the USSR may withdraw from the negotiations and resume nuclear weapons tests if Western concessions are not forthcoming. At the disarmament conference, the Soviet delegate is making a strong effort to exploit differences in Western reactions to Mos- cow's latest proposals. Soviet spokesmen have hinted that, in view of the "lack of viestern cooperation," the USSR may take the issue to the UN General Assembly. Moscow's representative In the nuclear test talks has warned that if the US and Britain go head with the experimental underground explosions without ac- cepting Moscow's conditions for Soviet participation, the USSR will consider itself free to resume nuclear weapons tests.

ASIA-AFRICA EJapan: Kishi's humiliation in being forced to cancel the President's trip will almost certainly result in his early resig- nation as prime minister and party chief. An acceptable com- promise successor will be difficult to find and extensive political wrangling is likely. The 15 June Soviet note and widespread Identification of the Japanese Communist party as the source of the recent violence will tend to focus Japanese attention on the ex- tent of Communist influence over leftist elements. The extrem- ists under Communist leadership, however, now are greatly en- couraged and likely to increase their violence in an effort to de- feat the ratification of the security trentv TinriPr thpsp prinditiOnS anti-American incidents may ()emir k Indonesia. Fresident buicarno, aespite unprecedlentedly heavy criticism, apparently intends to proceed with his plan to install a new parliament with strong Communist representation. Sukarno has previously announced that "some improvements," involving the appointment of additional members, will be made, but he has not disclosed how many he will name nor their political orientation. He is expected to confer shortly with political leaders, but it is not expected that he will materially modify his program. (Page 5.) LUAR-Israel: The UAR is quietly reinforcing its forces in the Sinai, evidently as a precautionary move following Israel's well- publicized decision to hold summer army maneuvers in the central Negev. The UAR is still concerned over Israeli plans to undertake a new dredging project, on the Jordan River channel in the demil- itarized area between Israel and Syria, even though Tel Aviv appar- ently has decided not to proceed with such work now without per- mission of the UN Truce Supervisory Organization. There have been several minor shooting incidents in this area in the past few days. some incidents,, but described the general situation as "quiet." dune 1)0 DAILY BRIEF ii hi \N �TOP�SEERET-- lApproved for Release: 2020/03/13 C03189338 t\.\ \\1 roved for Release: 2020/03/13 C03189338' %re A 14.0, A .4.1,1-.1%..110Li UI t- Turkey: The National Unity Committee which controls Tur= key has established contact with Turkish military attaches abroad and instructed them to report on the activities of ambassadors and other members of each embassy. possibility of a split within the committee.

THE WEST L France-Morocco: France has made a preliminary offer to evacuate all its bases in Morocco by 1963, and will try for "rea- sonable" settlements on other disputed questions such as French property holdings and certain border problems. The French are probably willing to concede the evacuation of troops in order to protect their large economic stake in the country �a move that would be consistent with De Gaulle's policy in other new African states.

A special flight also went from Moscow to Peiping on 14 June, possibly to bring Chinese leaders to the USSR, and probably left Peiping on its return flight on 16 June. A VIP flight from Simferopol to Moscow on 16 June in all prob- ability returned the vacationing Khrushchev to Moscow. there would be a meeting of bloc leaders in Moscow between 16 and 20 June) --�� * In his speeches in Berlin on 19 and 20 June, Khrushchev had said that in light of the summit failure, he would discuss post- summit policy with the governments of all socialist states. If the Chinese Communists attend such a meeting, discussion of Sino-Soviet differences over policy toward the West, particularly the United States, would probably be unavoidable. The Soviet Union in the 12 and 13 June issues of Pravda firmly asserted its position on the issues in dispute with Peiping, thereby putting the Chinese on notice that their continuing lobby- ing within the bloc will represent open defiance of the USSR. Mos- cow and Peiping, however, have taken care not to mention each other directly in the open arguments, in an effort to keep their dif- ferences within certain bounds. The continued public conflict has nevertheless brought into question Moscow's leadership of the bloc and seriously disrupted its unity of action. The Chinese Communist attempts to get sup- port for their tougher line at the recently concluded vVFTU meeting in Peiping generated considerable "pulling and hauling" among del- egates. The general resolution which came out of the WFTU meeting appears to be a compromise which puts the heaviest stress on the 17 June 60 cENTD Al lh.1T=I I irIckirc am TIM Approved for Release: 2020/03/13 C03189338 age 1 Approved for Release: 2020/03/13 C03189338 --T-49P�SEERET � Soviet position while accepting some aspects of the Chinese line. In a bloc meeting Khrushchev could face the unpleasant choice of attempting to force Chinese acceptance of the Soviet view, thus risking an open break, or of hammering out a compromise such as the WFTU resolution which would either gloss over or conceal the conflict and reaffirm Soviet leadership of the bloc.

Soviet delegate Zorin is making a strong effort in the ten- nation disarmament conference to exploit differences in West- ern reactions to Moscow's latest proposals. iThe British, French, Italian, and Canadian delegates have all expressed the view that some modifications must be made in the Western disarmament plan .;1 Zorin has singled out French delegate Moch for special attention, complimenting him on his efforts to bridge East-West differences. He has pressed for a full French reply to the new Soviet proposal to prohibit and destroy all means for the de- livery of nuclear weapons in the first stage of a disarmament program--a proposal particularly designed to exploit French insistence on top priority to measures for controlling nuclear weapons delivery systems. Soviet spokesmen in London have hinted that, in view of the "lack of Western cooperation," the USSR may soon pull out of the disarmament conference and take the issue to the United Nations General Assembly. Zorin has warned that if the West continues to refuse to discuss Soviet proposals for complete and general disarmament, there will be no basis for further negotiations. These tactics suggest that Moscow's principal current aim at Geneva is to build the strongest possible record for again presenting the Soviet disarmament position to the United Na- tions General Assembly next fall or, possibly, to a session of the 82-nation UN Disarmament Commission prior to the as- sembly's regular meeting.

Tsarapkin has warned that if the United States and Britain proceed with underground nuclear explosions for research purposes without accepting Moscow's conditions for Soviet participation to verify that the explosions are not being utilized for military purposes, the USSR will consider itself free to resume nuclear weapons tests "for the purpose of ensuring its security.

He has made the minor concession, however, of promising to name additional members and is ex- pected to confer with selected political leaders before the in- stallation. Sukarno has not announced how many more members he plans to appoint. Indonesian sources claim the number will total 23 to 25, all of them representatives of Moslem groups. The forthcoming political discussions probably will involve bargaining on the distribution of the appointees, and Sukarno may also find it expedient to make a further slight increase In membership. Of the original 261 appointees, 24 percent are Communist. The Democratic League, which led criticism of Sukarno during his absence on a world tour during April and May, has renewed its charges that non-Communist elements are under- represented and that parliament is unconstitutional. Signifi- cant factions in the National party and the orthodox Moslem Nandlatul Ulama oppose the parliament, although the national leadership of both parties supports Sukarno. Apparently in reply to these criticisms, a cabinet spokesman announced on 13 June that Sukarno and the cabinet would not be intimi- dated on the parliamentary issue, although they .were ready to entertain constructive suggestions. Sukarno has ordered the dissolution of the Democratic League, but no action appears to have been taken against it. -)Some top army officers appear apprehensive that during the next few months Sukarno will attempt to reshuffle army leadership in retalia- tion against the army's quiet support of the league.

To further consolidate its position, the NUC has established direct contact with Turkish service attachds abroad to report on ambassadors and their staffs. Each of these attachds is said to be in contact with a member of the military committee in Ankara. The NUC contact in Washington reportedly received his initial assignment from Colonel Turkes, adviser to interim President - Prime Min- ister Gursel and apparently a key figure in the committee. Whether these contacts are with the NUC as a whole or with only one faction of the larger committee has not yet been determined. Turkes has been reported to be .a leader of a group within the NUC which opposes a return to power of Inonu and the RPP. There are other reports of a 12-man "Control Unit" or watchdog committee which has maintained close contact with the RPP since before the overthrow of the Menderes regime. General Cemal Madanoglu, who has been referred to as a member of such a "control unit," is reported to be angered by Gursel's growing popularity. Any major split that develops within the National Unity Committee could re- sult in a cleavage within the military forces. , The new regime also faces major financial problems and has already begun making informal approaches to American of- ficials for emergency economic aid. All development projects, unless nearing completion, have been halted pending reassess- ment of the situation. A national planning group, to be assisted by foreign advisers, is to be organized in the near future to de- 1 m for Turkey.

France Makes New Settlement Offer to Morocco The French ambassador in Morocco has resumed "serious discussions" with King Mohamed V on outstanding French Moroccan problems, according to a senior French Embassy official. On 13 June he made a preliminary offer providing for France to give up its military bases in Morocco, not excepting its major naval and naval air installations at Kenitra (Port Lyautey) and Agadir, when evacuation of American Air Force bases is completed in 1963. Paris probably will concentrate on obtaining a "reasonable settlement" of the extensive property claims of French nationals in Morocco. It would prefer to let the frontier questions wait, pending Mauritania's anticipated accession to independence and clarification of Algeria's future status. This new French move appears consistent with De Gaulle's general policy of physical French withdrawal from Africa in ex- change for good relations with the new states there. In Tunisia, France has already withdrawn from all military installations ex- cept the base at Bizerte, which it maintains is essential for the defense of French interests in the Mediterranean. There have been intermittent negotiations on French property in Tunisia, but no settlement has yet been reached, although the French holdings there are smaller and less complex than those in Morocco. Although French officials expect the King's government to be more tractable than that of former. left-wing Premier Abciullah Ibrahim, the King will seek maximum French concessions in line with his proclaimed policies of obtaining commitments during 1960 for the evacuation of all foreign troops, Moroccanizing the adminis- tration and economy, and "regaining lost territories." The King will be especially wary of giving the nationalists a chance to charge him with having sold out to France. A French official in Rabat claims that the King asked that talks not proceed too rapidly "lest the op- position be encouraged to attack the results solely on the grounds of undue haste," and anticipates that several months will pass be- fore results become apparent.
