*USSR-Berlin: /oscow may use the anniversary
of the erection of the Berlin Wall on 13 August to try
to impress the West with the bloc's determination to
defend East Germany. The Soviets may also announce
plans on that date for convening a conference to con-
clude a peace treaty with the GDR. F_ 7

recent weeks, Moscow has gone to some lengths
O
to onvince the West that if there is no progress to-
ward a negotiated agreement on Berlin, the bloc will
go through with its threat to sign a separate peace treaty.
Evidence is insufficient, however, to conclude that
Khrushchev now has decided to abandon the cautious
approach which has characterized Soviet policy on this
issue and to proceed unilaterally to conclude such a
treaty.

Israel: Se Israeli Government reportedly in
tends to launch a two-stage rocket within the next
two weeks. This rocket would most likely be a ver-
sion of the three-stage Shavit ILI meteorological rocket
the Israelis fired on 5 July 1961 to a claimed altitude
of 50 miles. An unsuccessful attempt to launch a 0 er
rocket of this type apparently was made last March.

opment because of the UAR's launching and display of
surface-to-surface missiles last month. Israel's
rocket program reportedly includes an effort to develop
a tactical surface-to-surface missile with a range of
30 miles. The Israelis have been seeking surface-to-

Algeria: ~Problems created by general economic
distress, especially that of massive unemployment,
threaten to overwhelm the new Algerian leadership be-
fore it can assert administrative control of the coun-
try. The US consul general in Algiers believes that
only immediate action by France to finance large-scale
make-work projects would enable the Algerians to cope
with the situation. French officials have made it clear,
however, that Paris does not intend to do more than
continue to meet operating expenses under the ordinary
Algerian budget until elections --scheduled for 2 Sep-
tember--are held and a responsible, representative
government is formed. Abderrahmane Fares, presi-
dent of the Provisional Executive, has been in Paris
seeking a loan of $70,0003,000, apparently without suc-_
cess. I

*Congo: Premier Adoula claims that he initiated
his measur s o isolate Katanga in an effort to bolster
his political position. He has told the US ambassador
he would have preferred acting in line with a Western
program for reintegrating Katanga, but felt he needed

has`Mppointed an inner cabinet of eight men to speed
the making of decisions, and reportedly has replaced
the influential General Lundula in Stanleyville with a
junior officer who may be more tractable. Lundula,
onetime commander of Gizenga's forces, reportedly
has been assigned to command Congolese troops in
northern Katanga.
)Katanga, presumably in reaction to the UN's im-
plementation of Leopoldville's decrees, has detained
at least 60 freight cars at two border points. Most
of the cars contain aviation fuel for UN forces. Mean-
while, Tshombd's hand has been strengthened by an
agreement with Union Miniere to pay in advance 65
percent of the eventual sales price of Katangan copper

Ithe government is especially concerned
over the safety of gasoline tanks and other targets of
military importance, particularly in the vicinity of
the eastern port city of Puerto Barrios. Opposition
elements set fire to gasoline stores near Guatemala
City during antigovernment agitation in May, and they
might plan further sabotage in their continuing effort

*Haiti:~Armed forces chief of staff Brigadier Gen-
eral Jean ne Boucicaut took asylum in the Venezue-
Ian Embassy late on 8 August reportedly following a
heated conference with President Duvalier over the
status of the 10,000-man civil militia. The civil mi-
litia was organized by Duvalier shortly after he came
to power in 1957 to counter the strength of the 5,250-
man regular force. On 9 August Colonel Constant,
G-4 of the armed forces who is believed to be an army
25X1 activist, was named the new chief of staff. 25X1
Ithe Haitian army 25X1
is not prepared to face up to Boucicaut's dismissal.

9 August Duvalier reportedly ordered his
strong-arm squads and outlying militia units to con-
centrate in Port-au-Prince within forty-eight hours,
presumably for a showdown with the regular armed
forces, which could also erupt in attacks against US
citizens and installations. Duvalier's forces probably
would have at least an initial advantage, since he con-
trols the main supply of ammunition and extra arms,
stored in the presidential palace, b I _y_ 9 to the reg
