The program, which is to be adopted
by the Party Congress-in'October to
replace that of 1919, will be a
blue print--in fairly general terms-- anYi
of what the Soviets plan to accomplish
-)--
in the next 20 years. According to
Mikoyan, it will call for 60 percent
of citizens' needs to be provided
free by the state, 40 percent through
money wages, a point which he says
is causing intense discussion in
the party. (The question of incen-
tives is one of the most touchy
between Moscow and Peiping.) Publica-
tion of the dOcument, which Mikoyan
says is 185 pages long, will be fol-
lowed by one of the largest domestic
propaganda campaigns of recent years.

He thinks the presence of French
forces, against the will of Tunisia,
is a "threat to peace" under the UN
Charter, and will probably say so
to the Security Council today. He 50X1
is almost certain to recommend that
France accept the principle of eva-
cuation. Tunisia has asked the Arab
League to supply weapons rather than
volunteers. I _15W1

Husayn 50X1
rather sympathizes with Iraq and
has been talking vaguely of working
out some sort of Iraq-Jordan federa-
tion which could be extended to in-
clude Kuwait. Saud, not unmindful
that Qasim's claim includes a piece
of Saudi territory, has given strong
support to Kuwait.

A. After a drop on Sunday, the rate of East German refugee registra-
tions has again risen to nearly the level of last week. 50X1
C. North Korea is working out from Havana to expand diplomatic
contacts in Latin America, as the Communist Chinese have done
for the past year.
D. We reported a week ago that the UN was trying to stop exchanges
of fire between Indian and Pakistani troops in Kashmir. Our
latest report is that these have died down at least for th!
time being.

G.
Whites in Southern Rhodesia have accepted by a 2-1 majority
a new constitution admitting Africans to the legislature,
although to only 15 of 65 seats. There will be continuing
pressure for more representation from the Africans, who
outnumber the whites 9 to 1.
