[104]l. Venezuela a. Election campaigning ended
[105]' at midnight, but boosters for the
[107]several candidates continued to mill
[109]about streets of Caracas in defiance
[111]of terrorist threats to shoot anyone
[112]who ventured out for the next thre
[113]days.
[115]b. The terrorists, it seems,
[116]were all but drowned out by the car-
[117]nival air. ,
[119]c.. The FALN, meanwhile, is
[120]trying to bargain off Colonel Chenault
[121]for as high a price as it can, de-
[122]manding variously release of all its
[123]comrades, of all women detained by
[124]the government, and of the six hi-
[125]jackers who have been returned from
[126]Trinidad to custody in Venezuela,
[128]2. Sino-Soviet a. The Chinese Communists
[129]dispute ' will have nothing to do with the
[130]idea of bilateral talks with the
[131]Soviets under present circumstances,
[133]b. Chinese party Secretary
[134]General Teng Hsiao-ping, one of the -
[135]select few in Peiping's ruling cir- ©
[136]cle, recently told a group of visit-
[137]ing Latin Americans that such a meet-—
[138]ing could accomplish nothing.
[140](Cont 'd)
[142]For The President Only - Top Secret
[144]c. Teng put the issue of
[145]another meeting of world Communist
[146]parties even deeper into Limbo by
[147]saying that Peiping would be in favor
[148]only when assured of the support of
[149]a majority of the world parties,
[151]d. Moscow, for its part, has
[152]- apparently stopped thinking about:
[153]another gathering of world Communist
[154]party representatives,
[156]e. The feelers it put out
[157]after the conclusion of the test-
[158]ban treaty were received coldly by
[159]some of the fraternal parties. They
[160]felt such a meeting could only make
[161]matters worse with the Chinese,
[163]£. Indeed, Peiping saw this
[164]to be Moscow's purpose, and when
[165]the idea failed to take hold,the
[166]Chinese took it to be a setback for
[167]Khrushchev personally.
[169]g. Their reaction to Khrush-
[170]chev's subsequent call for a cessa-
[171]tion of open argument was to press
[173]the offensive, and this they have
[174]been doing in roundly abusive terms
[175]since. ,

[213]Communist Bloc
[215]h. The forthcoming Afro-Asian
[216]visits by Chou En-lai and Chen Yi-
[217]have awakened suspicions that the
[218]Chinese are in hot pursuit of a
[219]second Bandung-type conference-~-a
[220]more rewarding enterprise from their
[221]point of view,
[223]a. Yesterday and on Thursday,
[224]we detected what we believe to have
[225]been operational training Launches
[226]of standard 350 nautical mile sub-
[227]marine-based ballistic missiles.
[229]_ be. Two and possibly four mis-
[230]siles were fired from submarines
[231]based in the Petropavlovsk area to
[232]the impact area at Klyuchi.
[234]c. Seven similar instances
[235]have been detected previously this. an
[236]year, and there may have been others.
[237](INTERCEPTS) ;
[239]a. The Soviet Bloc will soon
[240]gain an important propaganda outlet
[241]in Nairobi, communications hub for
[242]East Africa,
[244]b. Plans are for a state-
[245]controlled news agency to be set up
[246]by the Kenyan government when it
[248](Cont'd)
[250]For The President Only - Top Secret
[252]achieves independence on 12 Decem-
[253]ber. This will fall under the juris-
[254]diction of communications minister
[255]Oneko, who has well developed con-
[256]tacts within the Soviet Bloc.
[258]~ c. TASS has already agreed to
[259]: equip the new agency, and Kenyan re-
[260]quests for further financial and
[261]techincal help are being discussed
[262]in Prague and Moscow.
[264]d. Kenyan journalists have
[265]been training in Prague and, on re-
[266]\ turn, will find ready employment in
[267]the new agency.
[269]5. Czechoslovakia- a. Czech President Novotny
[270]USSR returned from Moscow on Thursday
[271]after signing a renewal (for another
[272]20 years) of the treaty of friend-
[273]ship and mutual assistance.
[275]b. He apparently got little
[276]else out of Khrushchev. The final
[277]communique was conspicuously cool.
[279]c. There were no Soviet con-
[280]cessions, nor were there the usual
[281]references to Czech "progress" or
[282]to public support for Novotny's
[283]leadership.

[287]6,
[289]South Vietnam
[291]a. The first suicide by burn-
[292]ing to occur under the new regime
[294]was witnessed today by bystanders
[296]at a crowded intersection in Saigon —
[297]where a young girl went up in flames.
[299]b. A note she left behind said
[300]she was protesting the war of Viet-
[301]namese against Vietnamese. At the
[302]intersection are three villas which
[303]house the ICC delegations.
[305]c. There were no Buddhist
[306]overtones,
[308]d. Some think the Viet Cong
[310]encouraged her, but if they did,
[312]they did not write her script. They
[313]would have said it is the Americans
[314]who are fighting the Vietnamese. ,

[351]NOTES
[353]South Vietnam Plans are now afoot to shuffle
[354]South Vietnam's Corps commanders so that General .
[355]Khanh, considered by General Harkins to be the best
[356]of the lot, will take over in the crucial delta (IV
[357]Corps) area, General Dinh, the ambitious Minister —
[358]of Security, is still resisting pressure to relin-
[359]quish command of the III Corps area,. and is not in-
[360]- volved in the current shuffle.
[362]Cuba-USSR There are about 8,000 Soviets in Cuba,
[363]5,000 of these military, according to a bloc offi-
[364]cial in close touch with Soviets in Havana. The
[365]figures are close to our own estimate of 4,000 to
[366]7,000. Some withdrawals continue,
[368]Cambodia~Vietnam Sihanouk seems.to feel that cut-
[369]ting off his noSe to spite his face was not enough, |
[370]Now he says he will formally recognize North Vietnam
[371]if the US does not silence the Khmer Serei radio.
[372]South Vietnam will cut Cambodia's primary access to
[373]international markets via the Mekong river if he
[374]does. (INTERCEPT)
[376]Indonesia-Cambodia Sukarno apparently plans to go
[377]to Cambodia on an official visit following his trip
[378]to Manila, The Cambodian ambassador in Djakarta has
[379]advised Phnom Penh that Sukarno plans to leave for
[380]Manila on 6 December and directly from there for
[381]Phnom Penh on the 10th. He will stay three days.

[390]Coal and Steel Community Coal and Steel community
[391]members at their next meeting on Monday will prob-
[392]ably vote to raise community steel tariffs by an
[393]average of nine percent, This would , bring the tar-
[394]iffs of each member into line with Italy' s, the
[395]highest in the community. Only the Dutch oppose the
[396]idea.
[398]British Guiana - Cuba GIMPEX, trading arm and
[399]source of funds for Jagan's party, has worked out a
[400]deal to supply the country's major electric utility
[402]‘next year with fuel oil from Cuba. Texaco and Esso
[404]have been the traditional suppliers.
[406]Brazil-US . A press report from Rio cites "well in-
[407]formed Sources" to the @ffect that Goulart plans
[408]soon to invite Mrs. Kennedy to visit Brazil so that
[409]Brazil can pay her the honors which it had planned
[410]to render the late President. }
[412]_Cuba-Morocco A three-man Cuban delegation is on
[414]its way to Morocco to try to patch up relations
[415]broken by Morocco because of Cuba's assistance to
[416]the Algerians. in their border war. (INTERCEPTS)
