On 17 April, the day the new cabinet was an- nounced, the Chamber of Deputies, with only three dissenters, voted to limit the President's authority to recess Parliament by requiring the prior agree- ment of both chambers. Should the same measure pass the Senate, as seems likely, the Congo's basic . W oula and President Kasavubu had planned to re- ss Parliament by the end of April in order to re- move the threat of hostile measures. This action. increases the chances that Adoula will have to release Antoine Gizenga, The premier had planned to stall until after Parliament had been sent home? Gizenga's supporters are charging that there is a S-instigated plot afoot to murder the former Stanleyville leader. They are also seeking to question the premier on alleged US assurances of military support to Adoula to block the Congolese radicals from coming to power. 19 Apr 63 law governing this subject will have been amended DAILY BRIEF ME INI I it i~~,i~rii~ ~~r~~ i~i~ii iriri ~, Approved For Release 2003/04/11 : CIA-RDP79T00975AO06900430001-8 Approved For Release 2003/04/11 : CIA-RDP79T00975AO06900430001-8 Pakistan - Afghanistan: Pakistan has proposed to Afghanistan that diplomatic relations, broken for 19 months, be restored. 25X I. loll The Pakistanis, who made their approach through the Iranian Government, presumably intend to allow some form of consular representation in the key city of Peshawar.

CIA-RDP79T00975A0069 0001-8 Poland: The Polish leadership is showing con- cern over widespread popular dissatisfaction with its consumer economic policies. Gomulka, who rarely appears on television, de- voted a two-hour telecast with top-level party offi- cials on 17 April to an effort to stifle growing criti- cism. This apparently has included attacks on trade unions for failing to defend workers' interests. The Polish leader defended recent significant price rises and failures to meet increased demands for consumer goods since 1961 as unavoidable. He accused capitalist radios of spreading hostile rumors that the standard of living was falling because of a "crisis of Polish socialism" and exports of coal to Cuba. 25X1 25X1 19 Apr 63 DAILY BRIEF 7 Approved For Release 003/04/11 - 00430001-8 25X1 Approved For ReleaseViJ3/04/11 : CIA-RDP79TOO975AO0690 0001-8 Czechoslovakia: ~~Iard-line Czech leader Novotny has fin-ally ni~de an important de-Staliniza- tion gesture in response to internal party pressures. ~vhnq Novotny has engineered the n votn resignatio of his long- time associate Karol Bacilek, first secretary of the Slovak party and a member of the presidium of the Czechoslovak party.

On 17 April,, a deputy minister of Foreign Trade joined the Chinese negotiators already in Moscow to complete trade talks, which began last November. Trade in 1962 is estimated to have dropped to around $650 million--about one third ak level reached in 1959. 1 I I I PH!garia: Bulgarian party chief Zhivkov report- edly scored thiRdeplorable state of the Bulgarian econ- omy at a closed session of the Bulgarian Academy of Sciences on 16 February. He stated that Bulgaria had the worst economic situation in the Communist bloc, in part because 90 percent of its workers are lazy and incompetent and because shoddy Bulgarian goods are hard to sell, even in bloc markets. This exaggeration of some negative features of the Bul- garian economy probably presages changes in r- sOnnel or in the current economic progr~z-,~ ~, 25X1 25X1 25X1 Haiti: President Duvalier reportedly holds the U& Embassy responsible for inspiring last week's abortive military plot against his regime. He is said to have expressed an intention to expel Ambas- sador Thurston, the US military attachds, and the naval mission. Perhaps a harbinger of such action is a government communiqu4 issued on 16 April which announced the discovery of plotting by several Haitian army officers.

On 18 April, a student federation de- scribed military rule as "an act of treachery against democracy." A large university group adopted a mani- festo which called for the end of military rule and condemned all former civilian leaders "who even slightly impaired Korean democracy:' The mani- festo also attacked "foreign interference" in Korean domestic affairs- -specifically interference "that is as well as imperialism or colonialism." 25X1 backed up with strong economic and military resources Togo: Elections now seem likely to take place as scheduled on 5 May, with provisional president Grunitsky as the only candidate for president. After a period of intensive maneuvering, elements of assassinated President Olympio's party and Togo's three other parties joined in filing a single electoral list just prior to the deadline on 16 April. Finance Minister Meatchi, backed at first by the leader of the January military coup, made a strong bid for the top spot before finally accepting the vice presidency. 25X1 19 Apr 63 DAILY BRIEF 10 j Approved For Release 2 00430001-8 25X1 Approved For Relea THE PRESIDENT The Vice President Executive Offices of the White House Special Counsel to the President The Special Assistant for National Security Affairs The Scientific Adviser to the President The Director of the Budget 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 Commander in Chief, Atlantic 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 Approved For Releas 001-8 25X1 25X1 Approved For TOP 2 CRET RDP 00975AO06900430001-8 Approved For 20SIt RDP79T00975A006900430001-8 Top
