DAILY BRIEF
gl(V1\6 I. THE COMMUNIST BLOC
Communist China - USSR: Chinese Communist spokesmen
used the World Federation of Trade Unions meeting which ended
in Peiping yesterday as a forum for encouraging dissent from
Moscow's views on East-West relations and soliciting support for
China'srhax&I,inetcwardrth:e US. The president of the All-China
Federation of Trade Unions insisted that "no talks can take the
fJ place of struggle." The vice president of the same organization
said it is "inconceivable" that there could be general disarmament
before "the socialist revolution is victorious throughout the world."
Chinese leaders probably feel that these attacks on negotiations
and general disarmament may deter Khrushchev from returning
to detente tactics with the United States, or at least lend some
support to his critics in the bloc. (Page 1)
II. ASIA-AFRICA
Turkey: The center of real power in Turkey at present is
the National Unity Council, a group of about 40 officers--most
of them still unidentified�who arranged the overthrow of the Men-
deres regime. Although the provisional government has a free
hand in economic matters, it acts on internal matters only with
the council's approval,
. A spokesman for the council has stated
that it will give up power only after a genuine opposition party ex-
ists and free elections, are assured.

prefer to keep Lumurnba out of the new government, they appear
disposed, in the absence of any acceptable alternative, to invite
him to form one. Such a step could well trigger secessionist ef-
forts in one or more of the Congo's six provinces.

Chinese Continue Attacks on Ehrushchev's Foreign Policy
Liu Chang-sheng, member of the central committee of
the Chinese Communist party and a vice president of the
World Federation of Trade Unions (WFTU), told the WFTU
general council on 8 June that it is "inconceivable" that
there could be general disarmament until "the socialist
revolution is victorious throughout the world." The day be
Liu Ning-i, president of the All-China Federation of
Trade Unions, had stated, "No talks can take the place of
struggle." These statements and a recent People's Daily edi-
torial are the most outspoken public criticism yet made Py
the Chinese of policies with which Khrushchev personally is
associated,
Liu Chang-sheng gave cursory support to the Soviet dis-
armament proposal of 2 June and then described it merely
as a means "to arouse the people... to unmask the aggres-
sive nature of imperialism." He denied that the Soviet pro-
posal could be realized. Paraphrasing earlier comments
by Khrushchev that disarmamegit.wMild.lneanthoith,;Fatqualid"
West could give more financial aid to underdeveloped coun-
tries, Liu said that to attribute any Such intention to the
West was a "downright whitewash of imperialism." Liu
Ning-1, who spoke in a similar vein on 7 June, said any
implication that "peaceful coexistence" could be stretched
to include "genuine cooperation" is a "lie to deceive the
people."
Such statements as these before an international gather-
ing of Communists make it clear that Peiping intends to en-
courage bloc dissent from Moscow's views on East-West re-
lations and solicit support openly for Communist China's own
hard line toward the United States, The Chinese leaders
probably believe that Soviet diplomatic maneuvering may,
again require a "thaw" in Soviet-American relations. They
also may feel that undisguised polemics now are justified
in a situation where, since the U-2 incident Wand collapse of
the summit meeting, Ithrushchev possibly finds it more dif-
ficult
to ignore those elements in the bloc whic1- oppose any
return to detente tactics.

Military Committee Supreme in Turkey
The 40-member military National Unity Committee (NUC),
consisting mostly of field-grade officers, is the supreme author-
ity in Turkey at the present time,
General Gursel was added to the group at the last minute to give
prestige and authority to the committee, but he apparently, enjoys
no more influence than any of the other members. The names of
committee members may be released soon to prevent further ru-
mors about its composition. 1
, The NUC is permitting the provisional government a free
hand in economic matters, but all other major decisions must
have committee approval, the committee
will not authorize elections until it has approved the new consti-
tution and electoral laws and until a real opposition party is
established, if either Gursel or the provisional
government tries to abolish the committee's authority, the NUC
will again resort to military force. The committee apparently
wants the Democratic party (DP) to emerge under new leadership
and to re-establish its organization throughout the country.
/The future of members of the former regime remains in
doubt. In a recent speech Gursel referred to them as the great-
est "criminals in history," and claimed to have proof that they
had discussed annihilating the entire student body of the Military
Academy. There are rumors in Ankara that an attempt will be
made on 10 June during a massive proregime demonstration to
march on the Military Academy in an attempt to lynch ex-Pres-
ident Bayar, ex-Premier Menderes, and other former leaders be-
ing held there. Security forces have been warned of this possibil-
ity, however, and should be able to control any demonstration.
Despite the committee's apparent desire to avoid responsibility
for the ultimate disposition of the cases against the members of
the former regime, there are Turkish press reports that trials
may be held soon.

Congo Situation Worsening
Widespread but disorganized opposition to Patrice Lu-
mumba among Congolese political groups may bring a wor-
sening of the Congo!s_pre -independence political crisis. Lu-
mumba�whose party gained a plurality of seats in the Congo
legislature in the elections held in late May--is opposed by
many of the colony's minor and splinter parties, particularly�
since his post-election demands for the withdrawal of Belgian
troops and for his own investiture as premier.
In addition to stimulating fears of dictatorship among his
rivals, Lumumba's actions have revived separatist sentiment
in at least three of the Congo's six provinces. In Leopoldville
Province, a spokesman for the Abako party announced on 8
June that the party plans to form a provincial government
within the framework of a "federal" Congo of autonomous prov-
iiiceso, In Kasai Province, Lumumba's bitter rival Albert
ICalonji reportedly has called for the establishment of a sep-
arate Kasai state. In mineral-rich Katanga Province, the
separatist Conakat party, which holds a majority of seats in
the provincial assembly, may revive its threats of secession
if its demands for provincial autonomy are not met.
In the absence of an attractive alternative, Belgian au-
thorities may invite Lumumba to form a government, al-
though they will probably refuse his demand that the premier-
designate also be made chief of state. Congo Resident Min-
ister Vandermeersch reportedly indicated, prior to flying
to Brussels on 8 June, that it might be safer to bestow the
premiership on Lumu.mba than to turn to a weakly joined co-
alition of moderates which would be open to the charge of
being Belgian puppets,
