He told US .Charge Hoyt that the move will be made after other countries have been notified of the decision and as soon as the UN debate on Cuba's charges against the United States is finished.

President Frondizi is probably still the key to assuring that Argentina will actually sever relations with Cuba. Argentine military officials had earlier told the US serv- ice attaches in Buenos. Aires that they had a secret agreement in writing with Frondizi that there would be a break with Cuba, and they made clear their intent to insist that their demands for such action.be met.

In mid-January, for example, Macedonian and Slovene members of the parlia- mentary committee charged with drafting a new constitution were so vehement on the issue of preserving "states' rights" that Tito's personal intervention was necessary to effect a com- 25X1 promise. Similar differences over the economic plan for 1962 led in late. December to its open criticism in parliament, with two Slovene deputies taking the unprecedented action of voting 25X1 against the plan. 7 Feb 62 DAILY BRIEF Approved For Release 2002/10/22 : CIA-RDP79T00975AO06200160001-5 Ir~~0////~~/O/ODO.~D//000/DO~~,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, 5 25X1 A d F 56200160001 25X1 pprove or - - Finland: The Communist-front Finnish People's Demo- cratic League lost 3 of its 50 seats in the 4-5 February par- liamentary election and will probably again be excluded from the cabinet. A majority coalition is likely to succeed the pres- ent minority Agrarian government. However, the. victory of President Kekkonen's Agrarian party, which gained 7 seats to become, with 54 seats, the. largest party in the 200-mandate parliament, is a further endorsement of Kekkonen's foreign policy that good relations with the USSR are vital for Finland's survival. 25X1 a coalition government, 25X1 In mid-January, Kekkonen won an overwhelming victory for. re-election to a second six-year term as president.

Although at least two provincial first party secretaries closely associated with the "leap forward" program have been discharged or demoted, the regime evidently does not contem- plate a major purge. A People's Daily article on .10 January emphasized Mao's dictum "to cure the disease, but save the pa- tient," It urged severity in criticism but suggested.that ".organiza- tional disposition" of erring individuals should not be necessary except. in the most extreme cases. The authorities apparently feel that left deviationists are not likel to become a serious danger to the present leadership. 25X1 25X1 25X1 7 Feb 62 CENTRAL INTELLIGENCE BULLETIN Page 3 Approved For Release 2002/10/22 : CIA-RDP79T00975AO06200160001-5 Approved F - Regional Independence Grows Markedly in Yugoslavia Yugoslavia is composed of six republics and two auton- omous regions containing six distinct nationalities. These peoples have diverse religious and cultural heritages, com- pounded by occupation of the north by the Austrians and the south by the Turks, which left Slovenia and Croatia rela- tively industrially developed and Macedonia, Montenegro, and Bosnia-Herzegovina poverty-'stricken. The Tito regime has attempted to speed the growth of the backward areas, despite the resentment engendered in the other republics. The growth of regional independence appears to stem pri- marily from the program of economic and political decentrali- zation introduced with Western financial assistance. early last year, and from the disappointing economic results. achieved under this new program. Aathough the regime intended decen- tralization .to spark local initiative and considers debate of eco- nomic issues healthy, it may feel that the regimes. of various republics have: exceeded acceptable limits and fear. that dissent may spill over into purely political questions. Economic nationalism has become particularly evident in Slovenia, which in recent months has established its own air and shipping lines, apparently primarily for. prestige reasons. Breaking with past practice and other. republics, the Slovene parliament last month decided to enact a "resolution of direc- tion" rather. than an economic plan for 1962. This "resolution" will only outline broadly the aims and problems of the republic, such as productivity, industrial production, and exports. The other. republics are apparently also experiencing strong, though less obvious, surges of nationalism. The heads. of both the Croatian and. Bosnia-Herzegovinan parties are. known to be- lieve that the 1962 plan is unrealistic and excessive. In the generally permissive atmosphere, open disagreement with official proposals has also been noted for reasons other than regional interests. The Yugoslav trade unions have, for example, 7 Feb 62 CENTRAL INTELLIGENCE BULLETIN Page 4 25X1 25X1 Approved For Release 2002/10/22 : CIA-RDP79T00975AO06200160001-5 Approve - 60001-5 announced their opposition to a proposal for public financial participation. in the public health plan. The rubber-stamp Yugoslav parliament in late December rejected draft amend- ments to an existing economic law on.the;grounds that it had not had time to study them. A group of deputies in the Mon- tenegrin parliament in early December challenged a plane redistricting courts. and was defeated by only six votes. 7 Feb 62 CENTRAL INTELLIGENCE BULLETIN Page 5 25X1 25X1 25X1 Approved For Release 2002/10/22 : CIA-RDP79T00975AO06200160001-5 25X1 Approved For Release 2002/10/22 : CIA-RDP79T00975AO06200160001-5 Next 1 Page(s) In Document Exempt Approved For Release 2002/10/22 : CIA-RDP79T00975AO06200160001-5 Approved Fo THE PRESIDENT The Vice President Executive Offices of the White House Special Counsel to the President Military Representative of hhe President The Special Assistant for National Security Affairs The Scientific Adviser to the President The Director of the Budget The Director, Office of Civil and Defense Mobilization The Director, National Aeronautics and Space Administration The Department of State The Secretary of State The Under Secretary of State The Under Secretary of State for Political Affairs The Deputy Under Secretary of State for Political Affairs The Counselor and Chairman of the Policy Planning Council The Director of Intelligence and Research The Treasury Department The Secretary of the Treasury The Under Secretary of the Treasury The Department of Defense The Secretary of Defense The Deputy Secretary of Defense The Secretary of the Army The Secretary of the Navy The Secretary of the Air Force The Assistant Secretary of Defense (International Security Affairs) The Assistant Secretary of Defense The Chairman, The Joint Chiefs of Staff Chief of Naval Operations, United States Navy Chief of Staff, United States Air Force Chief of Staff, United States Army Commandant, United States Marine Corps U.S. Rep., Military Committee and Standing Group, NATO Supreme Allied Commander, Europe Commander in Chief, PaciFic The Director, Defense Intelligence Agency The Director, The Joint Staff The Director for Intelligence, The Joint Staff The Assistant Chief of Staff for Intelligence, Department of Army The Director of Naval Intelligence, Department of Navy The Assistant Chief of Staff, Intelligence, Department of the Air Force The Department of Justice The Attorney General The Federal Bureau of Investigation The Director The Atomic Energy Commission The Chairman The National Security Agency The Director The United States Information Agency The Director The National Indications Center The Director 25X1 25X1 Approved For Release 2002/10/22 : CIA-RDP79T00975A006200160001-5 e D...I9Ffj A R l 5 pproveor e eas Approved For Release 2002/10/22 : CIA-RDP79T00975A006200160001-5
