a Berlin solution is achieved.
USSR-Berlin: Ehe USSR has renewed efforts
to induce the Adenauer government to adopt a more
favorable attitude toward four-power negotiations on
Berlin and Germany and to stimulate West German
interest in a direct approach to Moscow on these prob-
lemsI
II talks last week with officials of the Free Demo-
cratic Party and with West German correspondents,
Soviet Embassy officials in Bonn took the line that the
prestige which the USSR gained from its recent space
achievements has reduced pressures on Moscow for an
early Berlin settlement. The Soviet spokesmen indi-
cated that, although the Soviets will not wait indefinite-
ly, they would "go along' if the West were willing to
engage in "true negotiations." They complained about
Adenauer's unwillingness to sanction four-power talks
and hinted that the Berlin wall could be dismantled if
Khrushchev be-
Is a cnange in the Western attitude toward neaoti-
lieves the present impasse can be overcome only by
another meeting with President Kennedy. He warned
that since the West seems unwilling to improve the
Berlin situation, the USSR would have to bring the
problem before the UN and demand that Western
troops be removed from the "powder keg:'
These overtures probably are designed to con-
vey the impression that the Soviet leaders are not
committed to any firm deadline for signing a sepa-
rate peace treaty and that they would be willing to
postpone any final decision for some time if there

USSR-Indonesia: Indonesia reportedly has been
seeking ways to cut back Soviet military assistance
now that the West New Guinea agreement has been
signed. Moscow, however, is continuing to fulfill its
military aid commitments to Indonesia.
A Kronshtadt- class submarine chaser, a small
mine sweeper, and two torpedo recovery craft, all un-
der tow by merchant ships, departed the Black Sea
earlier this week and are apparently bound for Indo-
nesia.
fireparations for developing surface-to-air mis-
sile sites in Indonesia are also under way. Surveys
25X1 for these sites have been completed in the Surabaja
area and locations for three sites in the Djakarta area
have been selected. Construction of the latter report-

French military units in Germany last month drumming

Algeria: Ben Bella, by appealing to Algerian
National Army units loyal to him to enter Algiers and
establish the authority of the political bureau, has
staked his prestige on breaking Wilaya IV's hold on
the city. Spokesmen for Wilaya III and Wilaya IV have
said that they no longer recognize Ben Bella's political
bureau, and Wilaya IV leaders have announced that
they will defend Algiers.
The military forces at Ben Bella's disposal are
superior to those of Wilaya IV, and Wilaya M's troops
will probably not be committed to defend Algiers.
Nevertheless, a quick decision is not assured. The
restiveness of the Algiers populace, frustrated over
unemployment and the lack of effective government, and
pressure from middle level Algerian officials, disgusted
with political bickering, could still force Ben Bella to
-compromise. I I
Ghana: / Nkrumah's dismissal anT-de'tention of two
cabinet mem b-ers and a high official of his party on
29 August should have the effect of reducing the inf lu-
ence of the pro-Communist bloc faction in his regime.
The action appears to be related to the abortive attempt
on Nkrumah's life earlier this month, however, and
probably does not ref lect a shift to the right in Nkrumah's
thinking
L.2ne of the dismissed ministers has been among the
regime's most militant left-wingers. A short time ago
he appeared to wield greater influence than any other
cabinet member. The party official is also well known
as a pro-Soviet mouthpiece. The other ex-minister is
a moderate who was never a member of the regime's
inner circS

may be imminent. i I
