DAILY BRIEF
I. THE COMMUNIST BLOC
East Germany: East German party officials are dis-
turbed by the activities of the Chinese Communist Embassy
in East Berlin and Chinese students in East German univer-
sities. Despite strong Soviet objections at the Bucharest
conference and since, these groups have continued to prop-
agate Chinese Communist ideas at variance with those pro-
mulgated by Moscow, particularly on "peaceful coexistence,"
and German party officials probably fear the effect this will
have on party functionaries, some of whom have earlier shown
sympathy for the Chinese line. (Page 1)
Communist China: Peiping is sending an unusually strong
team to Moscow to participate in meetings with world Com-
munist leaders next week. Headed by number-two man Liu
Shao-chi, the delegation includes five other politburo members,
of whom three took part in earlier negotiations with the USSR,
as well as some of the regime's leading writers on Marxist
theory. The composition of the Chinese delegation suggests
that Peiping will make a strong effort to get acceptance of doc-
trinal formulations favored by the Chinese

China: The state of the Sino-Soviet dispute may be caus-
ing Communist China to look for alternate sources of petroleum
to give it leeway for maneuver and to reduce its vulnerability
to a possible Soviet oil embargo.
Peiping is trying to
arrange for sea delivery of 12,000 tons of gasoline and 12,000
tons of diesel fuel from Iran. China has always relied on the
bloc for these products except for one smaller Iranian shipment
in March. During the past two months China has reduced con-
sumption of some petroleum products. Recent Soviet comment

has implied that Chinese obstinacy in the dispute could
lead to economic isolation from the rest of the bloc.

no prospect for a representative, relatively -(9 cx.A)t
stable government in the Congo "for a very long time." With 4
reference to an early reconvening of parliament, as is fa-
vored by the UN, he says that the only choice available to it
would be to support or reject Lumumba.
even if Lumumba were capable of obtaining par-
liamentary approval for his government, anti-Lumumba sen-
timent among tribal leaders is so intense that national unity
could be achieved only through coercion.:}

III. THE WEST
*France-Algeria: De Gaulle's 4 November address couples
a stern warning to opponents of his policy of self-determina-
tion for Algeria with hints that he is prepared to take decisive
measures to reach an Algerian settlement. His clear threat to
dissolve parliament and call for new elections if the Debre gov-
ernment falls through lack of parliamentary support is a warn-
ing to the rightist opponents of his Algerian policy not to try to
join forces with critics of his NATO policies if the Senate re-
turns the proposed nuclear striking force bill to the National
Assembly. He also implied that he would deal severely with
any illegal moves. By emphasizing the great decline in the
number of war victims and hinting that he may be considering
a unilateral cessation of offensive operations in Algeria, De
Gaulle is evidently trying to persuade the army that it now has
achieved the military "victory" it insists on. Last year he
suggested that when terrorism reached a low level, he would
consider pacification complete.
The Algerian Provisional Government had already sched-
uled a plenary session in Tunis, possibly to begin this week

end. In view of their growing international support and the
imminence of the UN General Assembly debate on Algeria,
the rebels will probably persevere in their present uncom-
promising stand and demand concrete evidence of French
good faith.
LATE ITEM
*USSR:
a ballistic missile was tired on 4 November to the
Kamchatka impact area from an unidentified launch point in
the Soviet Far East.
Analysis of reported altitude and speed of the vehicle in-
dicates that the missile had a range between 700 and 1100
nautical miles. The missile was launched from some point
along a line running through Sakhalin and the Maritime Region
(see map).
This firing represents the first identified instance of
Soviet launching of a large ballistic missile from a site not
on the test rangeS.

East GermanVificials Disturbed Over Chinese'
Communist Activities
Recent evidence indicates that East German party offi-
cials, since the Bucharest Communist conference in June,
have become increasingly disturbed at Chinese Communist
efforts to propagate their point of view in East Germany. It
apparently was Chinese lobbying in international Communist
organizations and among other Communist parties which led
Moscow to shift from a purely defensive position to a deci-
sion to bring matters into the open at Bucharest At this
meeting, Khrushchev attacked the Chinese for their attempts
to convert members of other parties by sending the parties
information sheets and letters.
During recent months, the Chinese Communist Embassy
in East Berlin reportedly has circulated copies of controversial
articles fromthe People's Daily and Red Flag.CMedium-level
East German functionaries are reported to believe that the
mid-October visit to Moscow of Hermann Axen, chief editor of
Neues Deutschland, was concerned with an investigation of ac-
tivities of the Chinese embassies throughout the bloc to deter-
mine to what extent they have attempted to propagand*
ideological disagreement with the Soviet leadership
an East German Central Committee
official expressed concern over a report from the East German
universities stating that all Chinese students who spent the sum-
mer in their homeland had brought back propaganda material
and were conducting agitation among East German students, An
immediate and careful investigation was ordered to be conducted
in Dresden Technical University--and probably in other univer-
sities--where there are many Chinese students.
Chinese Communist attitudes toward "peaceful coexistence"
probably evoke sympathy among some East German Commu-
nists who would prefer a stronger line on the German and Ber-
lin questions, but have been restrained by the party leadership.
Party spokesmen are intensifying their efforts to weed out "dog-
matist" tendencies and spell out the correct line to functionaries.
All party members have been ordered to study a recent article in

Kommunist, the Soviet theoretical journal, which presents
a statement of the current Soviet position in answer to earlier
Chinese criticism.
These considerations may account in part for the reported
requirement that all party members must make a public decla-
ration of their ideological conformity before receiving new party
membership cards in December and January.

China Arranging to Purchase Petroleum From Iran
Communist China is trying to arrange for
purchase of 12,000 tons of gasoline and 12,000 tons of diesel
fuel from Iran. Peiping has heretofore bought all of its pe-
troleum products from the bloc, except for a single purchase
of 12,600 tons of Iranian fuel oil through an independent Swiss
broker for delivery in March 1960.
There has been a reduction in consumption of some pe-
troleum products in China during the past two months. Civil
and military air transport activity has declined by 50 percent
since August, and evidence of a curtailment in bus and taxi
schedules in major cities and possible reductions in gasoline
allocations indicates that surface transport may also have been
affected.
Recent Soviet comment has implied that Chinese obstinacy
could lead to Peiping's economic isolation from the rest of the
bloc. A purchase of petroleum products from a nonbloc source
suggests that the Chinese may be attempting to arrange for an
alternate source of petroleum in the event that the Sino-Poviet
dispute leads to economic sanctions.

The Situation in the Congo
On a pessimistic assessment of the current political
stalemate in Leopoldville, has char-
acterized "even the most sympathetic observers" as believing
that the Congo "cannot govern itself in any intelligent fashion
and that, left to its own devices and without outside aid if
could not survive as a national entity."
he does not share the UN's enthusiasm for an early parliamen-
tary solution to the present governmental impasse since there
is not "one single Congolese who has more than a impasse,
idea of even the most elementary principles of democracy."
He observes that, in effect, the only decision parliament could
make today would be to support or reject Lumumba.
even if Lumumba were capable of
obtaining parliamentary approval for his government, opinion
has somiyat2dlized against him among tribal leaders that na-
tional unity could be obtained only through coercion. At the
same time, the absence of lead-
ership among uongo moderates renders doubtful any prospect
for agreement among various anti-Lumumba elements as to a
government should parliament be reconvened.
Meanwhile, the military regime of Colonel Mobutu con-
tinues to function despite its strained relations with the UN
Command. anti-Lumumba
leaders Kasavubu, Ileo, and Bomboko are cooperating more
closely than in the past. Among Mobutu's student commis-
sioners, at least two have expressed "contempt" for the UN's
"one-sided dealings" with pro-Lumumba elements. They are
said to be confident that Mobutu will prevent any reconvening
of parliament before the end of the year.

i Elsewhere, two officials of the Belgian Communist party
responsible for Congo affairs reportedly plan to leave Brussels
for Conakry on about 5 November.
they will first discuss the Congo situation with
President Toure and then meet with unidentified "Congolese
representatives" in Accra. The Communist officials claimed
to have received "considerable" money from Moscow for their
Congo operations, but they complained of being out of touch
with "appropriate" Congolese.'
