DAILY BRIEF
L THE COMMUNIST BLOC
2 / Communist China - Taiwan:
activity at two more coastal airfields--Nantai and
.H.man�suggesting that these fields, in addition to Lungtien,
are being readied to receive Chinese Communist aircraft.
Swatow, Lungchi, and possibly Liencheng airfields have be-
come operational since 27 July. Chinese Communist prop-
aganda calling for the "liberation" of Taiwan remains at a
low level of intensity. The Nationalists, for the time being,
continue to operate under orders not to engage Communist
aircraft,. (Page 2) (Map)
*Khrushchev,letter to Macmillan: Khrushchev's 10 Au-
gust letter to Prime Minister Macmillan reaffirms Moscow's
bid for a summit meeting on global issues. Most of the letter
is devoted to rationalizing the USSR's sudden switch to a spe-
cial session of the UN General Assembly. Khrushchev seeks
to reinforce Soviet charges of Western "maneuverinff" to ore-
ITPTIf Pn rl v reRnlution of the Middle East crisis.,
IL ASIA-AFRICA
Morocco: French Ambassador Parodi in Rabat believes
that Moroccan Premier Balafrej has completely lost the abil-
ity to govern and will fall from power by October at the latest.
Other evidence tends to support the view that Balafrers posi-
tion is in jeopardy. Parocii is considering throwing French
support to Vice Premier Abderrahim Bouabid. Bouabid rep-
resents the left wing of the dominant Istiqlal party, demands
the evacuation of all foreign troops, including US forces from
the five bases in Morocco, and advocates a policy of neutrality.
