congress is to suspend Albania's membership in the Commu-
nist bloc until its leaders demonstrate the proper contrition
or are replaced. Ulbricht's accusation in his speech on 20

October that Albania had "grossly violated. joint decisions

of the Warsaw Pact" suggests that Albania may be formally

expelled from that body. zThe Albanians were not represented
in the last Warsaw Pact meeting on 8 September and had sent
such a low-level delegate to the preceding meeting in August
that his presence was taken as an insult. Ulbricht, who was
presiding, reportedly ousted him
The European satellites, Mongolia, and Western Commu-
nist parties have allied themselves with the Soviet Union in the
attack on Albania. North Korea's Kim II-sung and North Viet-
nam's Ho Chi Minh, however, carefully avoided commitments
to either side in their speeches to the congress, as did the
Indian and Indonesian delegates.
The Soviet attack on Albania is an implicit criticism of the
policies and leaders of Communist China, and the groupings
within the Communist camp that developed during the earlier
phase of the Sino-Soviet dispute in 1959-60 are reappearing.
Moscow may still hope, however, that it can preserve some
facade of friendship for China while continuing its attack on
Albania; Khrushchev and Party Secretary Kozlov saw Chou off
at the airport when he left Moscow for Peiping. Chows depar-
ture probably reflects a decision of Communist China's leaders
to hold top-level consultations on developments at the Soviet
party congress. Prior to his departure, Chou made a pointed
gesture of Peiping?s disagreement with Moscow by laying a
wreath on Stalin's grave with a legend which described the for-
mer Snvint lPa.i1 r is "the rrraat Marxist-T.Pninict"

*Dominican Republic: The situation in the Dominican
Republic continues tense as sporadic rioting by revolution-
minded youths shows no sign of letting up. The government
postponed the deportation of leaders of the pro-Castro Popu-
lar Democratic Movement (MPD) since, according to an aide
of General Ramfis Trujillo, only some MPD leaders were
caught and others are in hiding? What purported to be pro-O
Communist, pro-Castro demonstrations by the MPD on 22
October were widely recognized by the public as staged by
the government for its own purposes..
General Arismendi Trujillo has left the country, and
Hector and ot]ier members of the Trujillo family plan to leave
25X1 tomorrow. Their forced departure is the first step in the pro-
gram agreed to by Ramfis to divest his family of the sources
of its economic, political, and military power,; An aide of
Ramfis informed the consul general on 20 October, however,
that Arismendi Trujillo intends to wait in the French West
' Indies until, convinced that- his departure has contributed to
an improved international position for the Dominican Govern-
ment., . According to his aide, Ramfis wanted the US Govern-
ment to know that he has placed himself in a "most difficult 25X1
j position"; that Arismendi and Hector have friends, especially
j in the armed forces} and. that it is vitally important for the US 25X1

Cambodia-Thailand Break May Strengthen Cambodia-
Bloc Ties
Cambodia's relations with Thailand and South Vietnam
have never been good.. In 1956, charging both these neighbors
with harboring hostile intentions against Cambodia, Sihanouk
embarked his country on close political and economic rela-
tions with the Communist bloc. In July 1958, angered over
a boundary dispute with Saigon, Sihanouk granted diplomatic
recognition to Peiping; later that year he temporarily sus-
pended Phnom Penh's relations with Bangkok in the heat of a
press war between the two nations. In early 1959, Sihanouk
invoked Peiping's moral support in quashing a coup plot against
him which was abetted by Thailand and South Vietnam. Thus
far, however, he has held back from such strong ties with the
bloc as military aid agreements.
The current spate of charges and counter-charges between
Thai Premier Sarit and Prince Sihanouk reflects the tensions
created by the Communist gains in Laos and South Vietnam. The
November 1960 agreement between Cambodia and Thailand to
abandon. their propaganda campaigns against one another has been
increasingly ignored. In a major address on 20 October in Bang-
kok Sarit charged Sihanouk, without specifically naming him,
with "treachery to Southeast Asian nations" and with planning to
make his country the jumping-off point for Communist attacks.
Prince Sihanouk, using this attack as the basis for breaking off
relations, accused Sarit of "getting ready to throw us into the
arms of the socialist camp against our will," but added that this
would be "preferable to the conquest of our country b Thais
and South Vietnamese,'
