DAILY BRIEF
ME
*USSR: Voroshilov's 3 November Pravda article
giving unqualified endorsement of Khrushchev's lead-
ership was obviously written at Khrushchev's behest.
Its defensive tone reflects Khrushchev's awareness
that Soviet policy on Cuba has left him vulnerable to
attack throughout the world Communist movement.
. The Chinese Communists reportedly have already
referred to Cuba As the "Soviet Munich:' Khrushchev
may feel compelled not only to answer this and any fu-
ture Chinese criticism, but also to try to overwhelm
in advance possible criticism inside the USSR. An ef-
fort of this kind is suggested by Voroshilov's implicit
comparison of Lenin and Khrushchev and his emphasis
on Lenin's intolerance of "ideological adversaries:'
Voroshilov specifically praised Khrushchev's "ex-
ceptional self-control" in handling the Cuban crisis as
preventing "a world catastrophe:' He also endorsed
Khrushchev's letters to President Kennedy as showing
that the crisis "can be solved speedily by peaceful
means" and that this will open the way for other meas-
ures to relax international tension.

Despite his repeated emphasis on the need for
peace, Voroshilov asserted that the socialist camp

blow against an aggressor at any point on the globe.
He said "our peacefulness is not a sign of weakness."
Voroshilov, who was denounced last year as a
member of the Stalinist-oriented antiparty group, was
probably chosen to write the article because no pres-
ent member of the top leadership can claim personal
association with Lenin and because he personified Khru-
shchev's magnanimity toward opponents who publicly
confess their error.
*USSR-Cuba: A fourth delivery of IL-28s appar-
ently was made to ba about 20 October, just a few
days before the US quarantine measures were enacted

possibly as many a 41.
GS far there is no confirmation that this latest
shipment was taken to San Julian airbase, where the
others are located.

USSR-Satellites: Khrushchev may be informing
all o the -satellite-leaders of steps the USSR intends
to take in the near future in its attempts to cope with
the Cuban affair.
Since 29 October he has held successive meet-
ings with four of the East European party chiefs. Pol-
ish party leader Gomulka arrived in the Soviet capi-
tal yesterday, following visits by Czech President
Novotny and East German boss Ulbricht and a one-day
trip by Bulgarian party first secretary Todor Zhivkov.

November. While it is possible that Khrushchev woul
satellites,
feel the need to brief Zhivkov on the Cuban episode in
any event, it is unlikely that he would have summoned
the Bulgarian leader from other pressing business un-
less the action under consideration would have a major 25X1
impact on the Bulgarian regime along with the other

Bulgaria: Recent developments in the Bulgar-
ian party suggest that first secretary Zhivkov may
be expecting a Stalinist challenge at the party's
eighth congress, which opens on 5 November.
Dissatisfaction over Soviet policies toward Cuba
may have encouraged the Stalinists to reopen their
attacks against Zhivkov's pro-Khrushchev leadership.
His economic policies, which recently have led to ra-
tioning of basic foodstuffs in Sofia and probably else-
where in the country, are also likely targets.
In what may have been an attempt to forestall a
challenge, Zhivkov took the unusual step of conven-
ing the central committee on 31 October to approve
the report he will deliver to the congress. The cen-
tral committee also approved a "draft resolution"
whereby the congress will accept the report as de- 25X1
livered.
