France-Algeria: Serious misgivings concerning
the Alg6rian situati n may lead Paris to postpone
the early July date usually mentioned by French of-.
ficials for the self-determination - referendum. How-
ever, there: is evidence that the French military de-
sire an early referendum to relieve them of the bur-
den of a showdown with the Secret Army Organization.
As recently as 4,May, Consul General Porter was
told by the retiring director for Algeria of the Surete'
Nationale, Rene, Jann.in, that the.military wereipress-
ing the government to hold the referendum by 1 July.
Jannins.tated: "Surgery has to be performed here and
our people dont want to do. it:'
Berlin: Mayor Brandt has expressed concern
..over e -Increasing att ,
fff empts. of Soviet Embassy of -
ficials in East Berlin to expand contacts in West Ber-
lin government, business, academic 'and cultural. cir-
cles. In conversations with West Berliners they are
asserting. that under a "free city" agreement for West
Berlin, guaranteed by the four powers, the USSR.will
participate in West Berlin affairs on an equal footing
with the Allies. They are also predicting that the city
sooner or later will fall to the Communists, indicating
that it would be wise to establish good relations in the
interim. These efforts to undermine morale in West
Berlin accord with the larger pattern of Soviet attempts
to widen contacts in West German circles in.the inter-
est of weaken!pLBonn's Western ties.

the 23-day-old strike of some 60,000 coal miners
near Oviedo and 15, 000 industrial workers in the Bil-
bao area. For, the. first time. since the. spring of 1958
the regime has suspended various civil rights, in-
cluding freedom from search. without warrant; and
it has already jailed 50 strikers. A high official of
the syndicates has described the. strike as "the larg-
est, most costly and most political since the civil
war." Although the government as usual attributes
the strike to "Communists " it appears primarily eco-
nomic . in character.

*Italy- The. prolonged and bitterly contested
election of 71-year-old Antonio. Segni--the Chris-
tian Democrats' official candidate--as.. President
of the Republic by a narrow margin can be ex-
pected to increase existing strains between the
right and left wings of the Christian Democratic
party and between the Christian Democrats. and
their .lay coalition partners. Despite his partici-
pation. as foreign minister in Premier Fanfani's
present cabinet, Segni opposes this experiment in
center-left, Socialist-backed government, and his
election will be interpreted in many quarters as a
repudiation of it, Right-wing Christian Democrats
and the opposition parties--Liberals, Monarchists,
neo-Fascists, and Communists--will be encouraged
to attempt to sabotage the Fanfani government. Fan-
fani may take over the Foreign Ministry, a, post
which he has held before, because he is anxious. f
Italy to playa more prominent role in world coun-
cils. Otherwise Saragat--leader. of the Christian
Democrats' Social Democratic partners--who pushed
Segni hard in the election, may be mollified either
by appointment to the Foreign Ministry or the privi-
lege of naming a. man of his choice.

. Paris May Consider _P_ostponing_Aige.r.ian..Referendum
25X1
The Evian accords provide that the referendum must be
held not less than three months nor more than six months after
the cease-fire, which became effective 19 March. The provi-
sional executive must select the date within two months of its
formal installation on 7 April. Most informed comment in re-
cent weeks had focused on the end of June or early July as the
date already secretly agreed upon.
According to the US Embassy in Paris, the transitional
period since the cease-fire has "clearly been a disappointment"
to French officials. Among the factors contributing to current
official concern are frustration over the increase in OAS activity
despite the capture of its top leadership and growing fear that
Moslem discipline may weaken and that the ensuing- European-
Moslem clashes would again raise the problem of the French
Army's role, There is unhappiness over the slow progress in
transferring responsibilities to the provisional executive,- partly
attributable to OAS sympathizers in the lower levels of the French
administration in Algeria. Paris is also increasingly sensitive
to Algerian nationalist criticism of French inability to crush the
OAS.
Jannin told Porter that the French Army is insisting that,
at the rate De Gaulle is withdrawing forces from Algeria, the
army will be unable to carry out its duties beyond 1 July. Jannin
predicted "an unpleasant two weeks or so" for the OAS and the
Europeans hen Moslem authorities take over soon after the ref -
erendum. 11 His attitude, together with the view expressed in Paris
by Suretd ationale Director Aubert that the OAS will rapidly col-
lapse following the referendum, suggests that these top security
officials believe the army is unlikely to take the vigorous measures
required to crush the OAS prior to the referendum. According to
Aubert, the gingerly fashion in which General Katz is approaching
the re-establishment of the government's' authority in Oran is a
result of the official desire to avoid another bloody incident such
as the 26 March military fusillade against settlers in Algier .

Last summer, the USSR established a TASS office, in West
Berlin but failed in efforts to establish an Intourist office. Cur-
rently the Senat is being pressed to permit the Soviet film export
corporation to found a branch in the city. Soviet officials have
also contacted the Senat to inquire about the conditions under
which foreign countries could participate.in the Berlin Industries
Fair this. autumn. It is not clear, however, whether the USSR
plans to exhibit or merely is seeking to ascertain which African
countries have been invited to participate, with their expenses
.paid by West Germany under economic aid agreements, in order
to protest West Germany's "illegal" activity in sponsoring a West
tempt to arrange a meeting and secure RIGS mater
Soviet. Embassy Officials Seek. West Berlin Contacts
The efforts by officials of the Soviet Embassy in East
Berlin to assert their. presence in. West Berlin became more
vigorous after last December's. Soviet memorandum to West
German Ambassador Kroll. On.27 March, Ambassador Per-
vukhin and several embassy officials paid a visit to the im-
portant Siemens Works in West Berlin, without prior notifi-
cation to the West Berlin Senat. Soviet officials apparently
tricked the plant management into permitting. the. visit. They
requested permission for a group of Soviet trade specialists
to visit the plant to inspect the processing of an order placed
under the West German - Soviet trade agreement, giving the
ambassador's name only as.. "Engineer Pervukhine' More. re-
cently, the German-Soviet Friendship Society in West Berlin
invited Pervukhin and other officials to attend a dinner on 18
April in honor of the fortieth. anniversary of the Soviet-German
Treaty of Rapallo, which established close economic collabora-
tion and a degree of political. cooperation between the two out-
cast states immediately following World War I. West Berlin
authorities refused permission to hold the dinner.
Another embassy official; Second Secretary Beletsky, has
attended several sessions of West Berlin's House of Represen-
tatives, sitting in the public gallery and making efforts to en-
gage members in discussion. Ilkne embassy functionary has
twice telephone the . chief political commentator of RIB in an at-
Berlin fair.

Strikes in Spain Bring Strong Government Countermeasures
The Asturias strike began in mid-April with a walkout of
15,000 miners seeking pay raises equal to those given steel
and other workers in the north. Despite the government's an-
nouncement that increases in the price of coal had been author-
ized to meet their wage demands, many of the strikers late in
April refused to return to work unless the 50 who had been ar-
rested on charges of distributing Communist propaganda were
released. By 1 May strikes for higher pay had spread to the
government-controlled shipyards in Bilbao. Troops have been
sent to patrol the mines and Oviedo's streets, but food supplies
have not been cut off lest this lead to riots.
In the spring of 1958 strikes. in Barcelona and.Bilbao in-
volved at least 75,000 workers, many of whom were idle be"
cause of plant shutdowns. These strikes were basically eco-
nomic but had political overtones, and there were indications
that Communists were involved in attempts to turn them into
antiregime demonstrations.
In addition to Communist involvement in the present strikes,
there have been reports of agitation by promonarchist elements
and also the labor organizations of the clandestine Socialist and
Anarcho-Syndicalist political parties. Coal supplies are report-
edly adequate for only 72 hours. The prospect of a major slow-
down for Spanish industry after. they are exhausted will seriously
hamper the government's efforts to implement the economic stabi-
lization program. The government is reluctant to' grant substan-
tiai.pay raises on a nationwide:. basis;lest this. bring a return of in-
flationary. pressures that.have been curbed' since early 1960.: How-
ever, collective agreements which have already provided pay raises
for several hundred thousand Spanish workers in various industries
may incite other workers to strike for pay boosts.
