Congo: Adoula's reshuffling of his government
does not appear to have eased his problems with
Parliament.
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.

While expressing satisfaction with the present

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.

Czechoslovakia: ~~Iard-line Czech leader
Novotny has fin-ally ni~de an important de-Staliniza-

~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. Bacilek, now 66 and an unpopu-
lar figure, was minister for National Security during
the notorious Slansky purges in 1952, His ousterp
which has not yet been officially announced, is likely
to arouse popular hopes and demanP within the party
for further de-Stalinization move V
(Novotny, however, clearly does not intend to
carry the de-Stalinization program much beyond
,possibly permitting the rehabilitation of a few un-
important victims of the Slansky trials. He probably
hopes, to play down the significance of Bacilek's ouster

Communist China - USSR: Conclusion of the
1903 Sino-Soviet trad-e 'agi-9-ement appears imminent.
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

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-

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. Ile communiquL& asserted 25X1

South orea: -Students are using the anniversary
01
j
of their April 1960 uprising against.the Rhee regime
to express dissatisfaction over current conditions in
South Korea. 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."

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.
