Taiwan Strait: Chinese Communist artillery on 4 June
fired about 500 rounds at Nationalist naval escort vessels en-
gaged in a troop-rotation operation in the Chinmen area. Since
the firing was at Nationalist vessels rather than at the offshore
islands, it did not constitute a change in the Chinese Communist
pattern since the fall of 1958 of firing at the islands on odd days
only. From a reassessment of information on Communist flights
Into the coastal area between 29 May and 4 June, it now appears
that about 55 aircraft may have been involved rather than the larger
numbers reported earlier. Chinese Communist propaganda asser-
tions that thefl US is deliberately creating "tension" in the Strait
have increased in the past two days, but the "liberate Taiwan"
theme has not appeared. (Page 1)

uled for Addis Ababa from 14 to 25 June to consider a total
boycott of South Africa.

from South Africa. (Page 3)
III. THE WEST
I,. Cuba: The Cuban Government is likely to seize the three
refineries owned by US companies in Cuba when these firms
announce, as they presently plan, their refusal to comply with
the formal Cuban order to process Soviet crude. The US Em-
bassy in Havana believes the Cuban Government may seek Soviet
assistance in providing technicians to replace displaced US cit-
izens. Soviet petroleum experts may already be among the
numerous technicians who have recently arrived in Cuba to help

Cuba: The caneelIation of the Conferen'ceof Underdeveloped
Nations which the Castro regime had assiduously promoted since
last December is, in effect, Havana's public acknowledgment of
the paucity of official support in Latin America and the Afro-
Asian bloc for Castrot sponsorship of such a meeting. In an-
ouncing the cancellation in Brazil on 2 June, Cuban President
Dorticos said there would be "consultations among several coun-
tries" instead. (Page 4)

Taiwan Strait
r, Chinese Communist batteries on the Weitou Peninsula fired
about 500 shells at four Nationalist escort vessels in the Chin-
men area on 4 June, The Nationalist naval units were escorting
landing vessels carrying troops relieving a garrison division on
Chinmen. The troops were landed safely, but one of the escort
units was slightly damaged and four members of the crew injured;
Nationalists did not return the fire. The Ministry of Defense will
decide on 6 June whether to rotate the remainder of the Chinmen
garrison. Initial Nationalist press reactions to the incident have
been conservative.
From a reassessment of information on the Chinese Commu-
nist fighter aircraft movements into the Taiwan Strait area from
29 May to 4 June, it appears that about 55 aircraft were involved
rather than the larger numbers--up to 100 aircraft--which had
been reported earlier.
Chinese Communist military communications activity has men-
erally been at normal or near normal levels.
since 2 June increased
night schedule activity has been observed on a naval air net serving
all naval headquarters in North, Northeast, and East China. This
activity may be related to the recent air movements into the Strait
area.
Communist Chinese claims that the US is deliberately creat-
ing "tension" in the Taiwan Strait have increased in the past few
days and Peiping has denounced the continued "intrusions," despite
repeated "serious warnings," of US naval and air units along the
China coast. There has been no appearance of a "liberate Taiwan"
theme in Chinese propaganda, and the official line fed to Commu-
nist newsmen in Hong Kong on 30 May indicated that while the

liberation of Taiwan still forms a part of Peiping's policy, the
regime now has no intention of resorting to "military measures"
to accomplish this objective.

lated to the recent activity in the Taiwan Strait, continues.

Nkrumah Exploiting South African Situation
Ghana's Prime Minister Nkrumah appears to be preparing
new initiatives to increase pressure on the government of South
� Africa and to project himself as the foremost champion of black
Africans in that country. On his return to Ghana last week from
the recent Commonwealth prime ministers' conference, Nkrumah
� publicly berated the present South African Government for its
"fascist" apartheid policy and its refusal to place the mandated
territory of South-West Africa under UN trusteeship. He said he
regarded that government as an "alien" one "temporarily" func-
tioning on African soil and urged discussion by the growing bloc
of independent African states of a total boycott of South Africa.
Nkrumah's blast almost certainly foreshadows a militant ap-
proach to South African issues on the part of his representatives
to the second conference of independent African states scheduled
for 14 to 25 June in Addis Ababa.
expected the conference to devote
most of its time to the South-West African question, apartheid,
and two other issues. these four as matters which now
have reached "critical stages requiring decisions."
Meanwhile,
Nkrumah has recently been "working to form in Accra
a government-in-exile" composed of political refugees and exiles
from South Africa. the idea
was being opposed by spokesmen for the militant Pan-Africanist
Congress (PAC), one of the African political organizations sup-
pressed as a result of the recent racial disorders in South Africa.
The PAC's attitude was said to be based largely on its opposition to
the multiracial character of the free government Nkrumah appar-
ently has had in mind and to the movement's inevitable domination
by Ghana. Despite this rebuff, Nkrumah may continue to explore the
idea with other exiled South African elements. In April it was esti-
mated that over 100 exiles were already in Ghana, and Nkrumah has
subsequently made a major effort to bring others to Accra.

Cuba Cancels Underdeveloped Nations Conference
Cuban President Dorticos announced on 2 June that the con-
ference of underdeveloped countries Cuba had scheduled for next
September will not be held. Speaking in Brazil, which he was
visiting on his current good-will tour, he said that instead there
UL be "consultations among several countries."
Cuba had tried hard to promote this conference in Latin
America and the Afro-Asian bloc. However, Venezuela, Mexico,
and Panama were the only Latin American countries to accept in-
vitations, and their acceptances were qualified. The only other
nations to accept were the UAR and Indonesia. Most of the coun-
tries accepting invitations later showed doubts as to the wisdom
of going through with the conference.
efforts by the UAR and Vene-
zuela to persuade Cuba to substitute informal meetings at the UN
General Assembly. The Cuban UN delegation now may attempt to
expand and strengthen the "neutralist" bloc at the General Assem-
bly.
There may still be a conference in Havana of unofficial rep-
resentatives from Latin America and the Afro-Asian countries
which could be more easily manipulated to serve Castro's prop-
aganda aims than could a formal international conference.
The underdeveloped-nations conference had been a major
objective of Cuban foreign policy ever since it was first announced
last December. The cancellation tends to add further substance to
recent rumors that Fore' n Minister Raul Roa may soon be re-
placed.
