*Berlin: The East German. Government decree announced
on 8 September requiring We-'--t- Germans to secure special per-
mits to enter East Berlin is a further step toward incorporation
of the Soviet sector of Berlin Into East Germany and gives the
city sector border the character of an East German frontier.
The West Germans now must meet the same requirements for
entry into East Berlin as for travel in East Germany. The move,
which clearly violates the four-power agreements guaranteeing
freedom of movement within the city, appears to have bypassed
the procedures normal in the past under which East Berlin munici-
pal authorities re-enacted any legislation applying to the Soviet
sector of Berlin.

Communist China:: Peiping has used the occasion of the
100th Sino-UF-a-m-Fa-ssadorial meeting to indicate that it does
not expect any material results from further negotiations with
the United States. A long editorial in the 8 September issue of
Peoale's Dail asserts that Peiping has no "unrealistic illusions"
about the talks, but is willing to continue the meetings, which
have been-going on since 1955. The editorial reiterates Pei-
ping's refusal to renounce the use of force in the Taiwan Strait
area.

Chinese Communists Issue Statement on Sino-US
Ambassadorial Talks
Peiping has used the occasion of the 100th Sino-US ambas-
sadorial meeting, which took place in Warsaw on 6 September,
for a long People's Dail editorial blaming US "insincerity" for
the fruitlessness of the talks. The editorial says that Peiping
harbors no "unrealistic illusions" about the meetings, which
have gone on since 1955, indicating that the Chinese do not ex-
pect any material results from further negotiations. Peiping
argues that "imperialist" states will negotiate seriously and
carry out agreements only when compelled to do so by a superi-
or Communist negotiating position,
While Peiping says it will continue the meetings as long as
the United States is also willing, it apparently intends to main-
tain its adamant position on all Sino-US issues. In the editorial
the Chinese again assert that they will not renounce the use of
force in the Taiwan Strait and reiterate their insistence on an
agreement guaranteeing the "equal and reciprocal" exchange of
newsmen between the US and China. Peiping has called for such
an agreement since the United States said in 1957 that it could
not guarantee "reciprocal" admission because of existing laws
and regulations. The editorial reasserts the Chinese position
that US "nationals" detained in China are rightfully convicted
"criminals" and thus not subject to release under the Sino-US
agreement of 1955.

Congo Situation
Premier Lumumba's formal request on 8 September for the
withdrawal of UN troops stems from his anger over what he sees
as UN support for his rival Kasavubu. UNtroops, in. addition to
controlling the radio, station and the two Leopoldville airports,
are guarding Kasavubu's residence. As a result of the steadily
increasing tension, violent incidents may take place between UN
forces and supporters of the premier.
UN Secretary General Hammarskjold can be. expected to put
the whole weight of h tIn office behind his effort to retain. the UN
troops in the Congo. late August, before the Congo crisis had
reached its present impasse, he indicated that Lumumba must be
"broken:' He planned to insist that the UN forces must remain in
the Congo to maintain peace and order because the Congolese
National Army was incapable of doing so, His aim at that time

arguing that in the absence of such a resolution the UN military
presence in the Congo would in effect be endorsed.
Radio Moscow followed up its strong support of Lumumba in
Kasavubu's attempt to oust the premier with a slashing attack on
Hammarskjold and the UN authorities in the Congo. In a widely
broadcast commentary on 7 September it charged that they have
"grossly contravened" the UN Security Council's resolutions by
"openly pursuing an inimical attitude toward the Congo's legal gov-
ernment:' Another commentary, based on an Izvestia article,
charged that the Western powers, especially the United States,
are acting under the "cover" of the United Nations banner and
that Hammarskjold has violated his duty by "grossly interfering
in the Congo's domestic affairs:' Such support presumably en-
couraged Lumumba in his demands for evacuation of United
Nations forces.
In Leopoldville the power struggle between Lumumba and Kasa-
vubu remains unresolved. Lumumba, however, retains the initia-
tive and has reasserted his control over the Congolese legislature.
Following the confused session of the lower house on 7 September--

whose results pro-Lumumba forces are treating as a victory for
the premier-- Lumumba won unexpected backing from the Senate,
which supported the government with a 41-2 vote of confidence.
The large number of abstentions and absences in the 78-member
house indicates that opponents of Lumumba are unwilling to en-
gage in an open test of strength with the premier.
Sympathy for Kasavubu's moderate position is indicated in
the recent activity of army Chief of Staff Mobutu, who apparently
is accepted in both the Kasavubu. and the Lumumba camps and is
highly regarded by Western military observers. Mobutu warned
Foreign Minister Bomboko of his impending arrest, thereby ena-
bling Bomboko to escape to the American Embassy and thence to
Kasavubu's residence. Mobutu apparently is trying to remove the
army from politics and is also concerned over the presence with
the army of Soviet mechanics who accompanied the recent ship-
ment of trucks from the USSR.
