Cuba-USSR a. The six crates brought to Cuba aboard the Ivan Polzunov turn out to have housWa-1 type of Soviet motor torpedo boat new to Cuban waters. b. Photos of Havana harbor taken after the Soviet vessel docked reveal six newly arrived P-4 torpedo boats at the naval shipyard on the north side of the bay. c. I one of the crates can- tamed a "light motor torpedo boat." d. Smaller and faster (55 knots) than the 16 P-6 types de- livered earlier, the P-4 strikes us as ideally suited for maritime de- fense against anti-Castro raiders.

British Guiana a. Bickering and distrust within the anti-Jagan forces, plus their lack of a clear-cut plan of action, are enhancing the Premier's chances of weathering the current crisis. c. Prolongation of the strike after the demise of the labor bill that set it off is making more credible, especially among Indian workers, Jagan's allegations that it is a purely political attempt to bring him down. d. He will accordingly not be likely to compromise in any negotia- tions to end the strike. e. The expected return to Georgetown of the. extremist Jack lie/shall, will/ \further stif- fen Jagan's resistance to settle- ment overtures. 50X1 50X1 50X1 Declassified in Part - Sanitized Copy Approved for Release 2015/07/24 : CIA-RDP79T00936A001700180001-9 LJ FT1t=1 Declassified in Part - Sanitized Copy Approved for Release 2015/07/24 : CIA-RDP79T00936A001700180001-9 5.

USSR Khrushchev has moved to fill the gap created by the incapacitation of the party's number two man, Kozlov. The closing session of the party plenum yesterday raised Brezhnev and Podgorny to the power- ful secretariat. The promotions mark the two men as among leading candidates to succeed Khrushchev. B. Italy Giovanni Leone is to be sworn in as premier today. Though by law he must seek a vote of confi- dence within ten days for his one-party (Christian Democratic) cabinet, the requirement is not always enforced. In any such vote his government's survi- val will depend on the benevolent abstention of several parties, including the deeply divided Social- ists. C. Ireland Prime Minister Lemass' government may run into trouble when parliament votes on the budget next Tuesday. Opposition leader Dillon is trying to round up support for a no-confidence motion using the government's unpopular sales tax proposal as a rallying point. The government needs the votes of two of the four independents who generally support it to beat back the attempt. D.

Venezuela American officials in Venezuela have been alerted that Castro-backed terrorists of the FALN will try to kidnap a senior embassy official. Venezuelan security services are making a special effort to prevent this, but, we note, they have not been able thus far to contain the FALN.
