DAILY BRIEF
I. THE COMMUNIST BLOC
USSR-Libya: A Soviet delegation arrived in Tripoli
and began formal discussion on 31 July of a revised offer
by Moscow to construct and equip two gift hospitals in Libya.
Earlier negotiations dating back to early 1958 were stymied
by the USSR's insistence that it furnish staff personnel; ac-
cording to a Libyan health official, however, the new proposal
involves Soviet training of Libyan medical personnel. Such an
arrg.ngemerit would apparently provide a way of side-stepping
the Issue of a permanent Soviet staff, but presumably would re-
quire the presence in Libya of Soviet medical personnel during
941 extended trainiu period.
e u e s-
tics TraTiTired on 3 August from Kapustin Yar possibly to an
extended range. Preliminary analysis of available data indi-
cates that the missile was apparently launched on an azimuth
about 30 degrees north of the normal line of flight and traveled
between 1,000 and 2,500 nautical miles. The area of impact is
currently unknown. The pattern of associated practices at Kapus-
tin Yar during July and the fact that the missile was not destroyed
in flight suggest that the deviation from the normal azimuth of
Kapustin Yar launch was intentional. The missile was consider-
ably more heavily instrumented with telemetry equipment tha
has been customary in Kapustin Yar firings.

*USSR-Britain: In his letter of 4 August to Prime Minister
Macmillan, Khrushchev dropped the deferential treatment he
previously has accorded the prime minister and sharply attacked
British foreign and colonial policies. Khrushchev's letter, which
reflects the tougher, more militant line that has come to dominate
the conduct of Soviet policy since the collapse of the summit meet-
ing, is intended to embarrass Macmillan and to advance broader

objectives of weakening Allied confidence in US leadership and
generating opposition to American overseas bases.
Khrushchev reaffirmed his early postsummit commitment
that unilateral action on Germany and Berlin would be deferred
until these questions could be discussed at another summit meet-
ing. He recognized that such a meeting could not be convened
before the American election but warned that if the West should
subsequently refuse a meeting and prevent agreement, the USSR
would slam a senarate treaty with East Germany I

Nationalist Demonstrations Threatened in Southern Rhodesia
Lifrican nationalist disorders are planned for 8 August in the
African townships adjacent to Salisbury,
On that date the
presiaent ot boutnern tiliodeSia's leading native organization, the
National Democratic party, is being brought to trial on a charge
of violating the Unlawful Organizations Act. It was the arrest of
this leader, Michael Mawema, and several others that triggered
the disturbances in July in Salisbury and Bulawayo. The rioting
at that time resulted in widespread property damage in the Afri-
can townships and led to about a dozen African deaths the first
caused by racial violence in Southern Rhodesia since 1896.
cNationalists are organizing a city-wide strike of African em-
ployees, and they plan that school children will play an impor-
tant role in inciting disorders within the townships. Agitators
are collecting riot funds by canvassing homes and stores)
e government's Native Education Department, which discov-
ered the plans, advised the teachers on 2 August that they would
be fired if the African children did not attend school on 8 August.
They were also warned that the schools would be closed indefi-
nitely. However, the teachers responded that the fear of nation-
alist reprisals and pressure from nationalist-minded parents made
them cooperate
LAfrican opponents of the planned disorders say that it is too
late to stop the disorders; moreover, the government's ban on
public meetings makes it impossible for them to address African
crowds and urge moderation. The police are preparing for trou-
ble on 8 August and intend to provide maximum security for all
African townships. However, if violence breaks out in Salisbury,
it is likely to spread to othtr areas where the National Democratic
party (NDP) has branches..

Security Situation Situation in South Vietnam
LThe size of Communist guerrilla bands operating in South
Vietnam seems to be increasing after some tapering off of
large-scale assaults with the advent of the rainy season in late
March. Engagements with regular army units by guerrilla
bands of up to 400 men have been reported in the past few weeks.
Most recently, on 30 July, three guerrilla companies totaling 300
to 400 men, together with about 100 armed mountaineers, seized
a government district office in Binh Tuy Province 70 miles east
of Saigon, killing a small number of the defending Civil Guard and
Self-Defense Corps forces and kidnaping 34 Defense Corps mem-
bers and all civilians in the village. An attack on army units in
an area about 40 miles north of Saigon by an estimated 100-200
guerrillas occurred on 27 July. This activity north and east of
Saigon may reflect a Communist design to relieve pressure by
the Vietnamese Army on the principal areas of guerrilla activity
in the southwes0
CTravel on main roads near Saigon continues to be uncertain.
Prior to the anniversary of the Geneva accords on 20 July, Viet-
namese security officials warned American motorists against
travel on a major route north of Saigon, as well as in certain
southwestern provinces.:_i
[President Diem is reported recently to have held meetings
with his top civilian and military advisers to study recommenda-
tions for strengthening antiterrorist operations submitted by the
Malayan defense mission which visited South Vietnam in April.
Diem has indicated particular interest in proposals to improve
the army's communications network and to centralize intelligence
collection. The mission also recommended that military opera-
tions be coordinated with nsycholoeical warfare and rural develop-
ment programtj

Morocco Presses for Spanish Troop Withdrawal by April
The Moroccan Government has rejected Spain's offer to
withdraw its 3,000 troops from Moroccan territory by the end
of 1961 and is demanding that these forces be pulled out by
7 April, fifth anniversary of Spain's agreement to Moroccan
independence,
The Spanish foreign minister had claimed on 2 Au-
, gust that Madrid had Morocco's consent to the offer, which
would not have included the13,0003Spanish troops now stationed
in the Spanish enclaves of Ceuta and Melilla. The Moroccans
argue, that because the Republic
of the Congo is demanding and obtaining immediate complete
evacuation of foreign military forces, Morocco can accept no
less than total evacuation at a very early date.
the Moroccan Government
has in effect embargoed trade with Spain by refusing in recent
weeks to grant any import permits. Although Spain has re-
sponded in kind, it will be more difficult for Madrid to restore
normal trade when the embargo is lifted because Spain imports
only phosphates and iron ore from Morocco, whereas the latter
imports a wide variety of Spanish commodities. Under. a 1957
commercial agreement, Morocco is obligated to import an-
nually for four years $13,500,000 more in Spanish goods than
the value of Moroccan products sold to Spain in order to pro-
vide capital for Spanish investment in Morocco. Morocco has
not lived up to this agreement, however, in fact maintaining a
credit with Spain in both 1958 and 1959.
In view of Morocco's adamant stand with regard to Spanish
evacuation, Rabat can be expected to intensify its efforts to seek
/the early withdrawal of the a5,000 to 20,000French troops now in
Morocco. It will probably also seek to accelerate the withdrawal
of American troops, now slated to be completed in December
1963.

Simulated Coup Against Trujillo Reportedly Planned
For 7 August
Dominican dictator Trujillo may be planning a simulated
coup on 7 August to convince other Latin American governments
that his regime has fallen. Dominicans have been told to remain
home on that date to await census takers. Such a plan,
would be consistent with Trujillo's
past tactics. A group of army officers would oust newly installed
President Balaguer and seize power, perhaps prevailing upon a
member of the clergy to participate in the resulting junta. The
"revolutionary" government would send delegates to the OAS
foreign ministers' meeting claiming that the Trujillo regime
had been overthrown. In reality, however, Trujillo would hope
to maintain control of the government from behind the scenes,
resuming full powers openly at a time of his choosing.

chiefs of all radio stations to maintain permanent
service until further orders.
A "controlled coup" might backfire, since anti-Trujillo senti-
ment is at an unprecedented high in the country and is believed
even to have reached key military figures.
Trujillo's appointment on 4 August to head the Dominican
delegation to the United Nations' session beginning 20 September
does not necessarily mean his loss of control. Trujillo has
gone abroad before and on one occasion his departure was fol-
lowed by a particularly bloody period of repression. The date
of his departure has not been nnounced.
