Haiti: [Two public appearances within the past
week by President Duvalier have served to ease ten-
sion in Port-au-Prince over the possibility of a coup
Duvalier was present--with his usual heavy guard--
at a military parade marking his birthday on 14 April
and at the opening of the Legislative Chamber on 18
April. His appearance at these functions lends credi-
bility to indications that, for the moment at least, he
has suppressed plotting against himself and is confi-
dent he controls the situation
25X1
The US Embassy in Port-au-Prince noted on 20
April that with Duvalier alert and suspicious, the odds
M
seemed very high against a coup attempt during the
next few d

USSR on the separate status of Berlin]
has ordered its foreign trade enterprises to rene.L L "5 UV

contracts with West Germany and to cover West Berlin
in separate contracts. Foreign trade enterprises also
have been ordered to import from the Netherlands
rather than from West Germany until negotiations for
a new trade agreement with Bonn are completed. More-
over, it appears that the Czech postal service hence-
forth will not forward mail, addressed to West Berlin
as part of the Federal Republic]
this policy was reportedly determined in talks
between Soviet leaders and Czech President Novotny
in the past six months. It has led to further delays in
the talks with the West Germa_ s, which have alread
been under wa for two ears.

The lack of progress in the talks has encouraged
the Communists, who are eager to enter the cabinet,
to push for a "socialist-based" government. Social
Democratic. chairman Paasio has said that his party
will not accept this solution unless the Center also
participates in such a coalition]
[If the Social Democrats and the Center are unable
to agree on a two-party coalition, Paasio may form a
Social Democratic minority government, with non-
political civil servants in several key posts. Such a
government could probably survive until the presi- 25X1

NOTES
UK - South Africa: rA senior official at the British
Foreign Office has indicated that Prime Minister
Verwoerd, although unwilling to mediate the Rhodesian
dispute, has offered to help bring about a meeting be-
tween Prime Ministers Wilson and Smith. Verwoerd
suggested that the talks could be held either in South
Africa or in Switzerland. The British official com-
mented that such a meeting would be premature and
that there would first have to be secret negotiations at
lower levels. Oliver Wright, Prime Minister Wilson's
former private secretary, has recently been sent to
Pretoria and Salisbury on an undisclosed mission. F-
Austria: The program and cabinet presented to
parliament on 20 April by People's Party Chancellor
Klaus show that the new one-party government has
moved to the right. The new regime plans to reorgan-
ize certain economic sectors--such as subsidized
municipal housing and nationalized industry--which had
been controlled by the Socialist Party in coalition gov-
ernment with the People's Party for the last 21 years.
First priority, however, is to be given to concluding
an arrangement with the EEC. The principal Austrian
negotiator with the EEC, Fritz Bock, has been promoted
to the vice chancellorship, and retains the Trade Min-
istry.

European Space Programs: ~he European Launcher
Development Organization ministerial conference in
Paris on 26-28 April, according to various European
space officials, will probably involve a "major con-
f rontation" provoked by British threats to withdraw- -
essentially for financial reasons. The other five mem-
bers are concerned over the implications of the British
position for the future of European regional and national
space programs. Uncertainty over the prospects for
joint European space efforts may delay agreement on
US proposals for cooperative US-European space ar-
rangements-I 2 5/X
