*Cuba: The Cuban Ministry of Armed Forces
has been reorganized on a pattern closer to the So-
viet system; Five vice-ministerial posts have been
created, at least three of which are filled by men
close to Fidel Castro and only one by an old-line
Communist.
Juan Almeida Bosque, a close friend of Fidel
Castro and former chief of staff of the Central Army,
has been named first deputy minister of the Armed
Forces Ministry. Almeida has never been. regarded
as being particularly effective, and his appointment
was apparently made as a reward for his loyalty to
Fidel.
Four other deputy ministers were also named.
Sergio del Valle, chief of the Armed Forces General
Staff, has been named deputy minister, chief of the
General Staff, Del Valle is a "new" Communist
who joined Fidel Castro's forces about two years
before Castro's victory in 1959.
Jaoquin Ordoqui, an old-time Communist leader
who was chief of supply on the Army General Staff,
has been named deputy minister of the services de-
partment of the ministry. Ordoqui is also a mem-
ber of the National Directorate of the Integrated
Revolutionary Organizations. It appears that in the
cases of Del Valle and Ordoqui their duties have not
been changed but their posts have been integrated in-
to the Ministry of the Armed Forces..
Efigenio Almejeiras, former chief of the Na-
tional Police and a member of the Armed Forces

General Staff, has been named deputy minister for
"special affairs." Almejeiras, like Almeida, was
one of the 12 who survived Fidel Castro's landing
in Cuba in 1956. Belamino Castillo, a former staff
member of the Eastern Army, was also appointed
a deputy minister for "special affairs." The future
duties of Almejeiras and Castillo are not known.

USSR: Khrushchev's remarks in his 24 April
speech that he is 69 and cannot "forever" occupy
his present posts have the effect of feeding recent
rumors that he is planning to relinquish one of his
leading positions. These remarks therefore will
probably increase the prevailing sense of uneasi-
ness within the party.
The principal economic theme of the speech was
the need for greater industrial efficiency. Khrushchev
ridiculed the Western press for stressing Soviet eco-
nomic problems, but admitted that construction was
going poorly again this year and called for a further
tightening up of controls over investment.
While he gave no clear line on the trend in de-
fense expenditures, he implied that rising costs of
military hardware are a significant problem and
exhorted the bureaucracy to be more concerned with
reducing such costs. He strongly affirmed that the
party intends to maintain its control over the mili-
tary-industrial complex.
Khrushchev suggested that the regime may be
preparing an even greater crack-down on economic
crime and showed continuing concern over the prob-
lem of nonconformist intellectuals. He admitted
that "some of our people" question the role of au-
thority in society, demand greater individual free-
dom, and envy the "free society" of the West.

East Germany: The East German population,
already resentful of heavier work pressures to make
up plan lags, will be further irritated by the regime's
admission. that. it. has food supply difficulties.
Party leader Ulbricht warned in an open letter
on 20 April that present agricultural production is
not sufficient to assure steady and better food sup-
plies. Heavy food imports have been planned for
this. year, but Ulbricht warned that his regime can-
not continually import meat and other foods in ex-
cess of plans.
(Despite these difficulties, the Council of Minis-
ters is reported to have passed a. secret decree re-
ducing economic plans for domestic production of
consumer goods, including food, in order to con- 25X1
centrate more heavily on industrial development.

West Germany: The Bonn cabinet on 24 April
approved West German participation in t 4e proposed
NATO multilateral nuclear force (MLF)).

According to a Foreign Ministry official, the
cabs et agreed to accept for the present a force em-
ploying surface vessels, and the rule of unanimity
in the control of the force. The cabinet's decision,
however, was made on the understanding that the
possibility will remain open for evolution of the
MLF along lines favored by West Germany. Bonn
favors shifting t submarines at a later date, and
to majority rule
The official said Bonn expects to pay at least
30 p rcent of the costs of the force, but believes
that for political reasons the US shar should be
Jar-aer than that paid by the Germans

MalaysiaoA formula for easing tensions among
,Indonesia, Malaysia, and. the Philippines over the
proposed Malaysia federation is being quietly ad-
vanced by U Thant's Chef de Cabinet Narasimhan).
The plan allows formation of Malaysia on sched-
ule by 31 August. The new federation would have
administrative control of the Borneo territories,
but the question of sovereignty over them would be
held in abeyence pending a plebiscite to be held
within two years under UN auspices. Narasimhan
hopes the formula can be introduced at the tripartite
ministerial talks scheduled for mid-May)
(Narasimhan apparently has gained the support
of Philippine President Macapagal, and is to. seek
Sukarno's backing when he visits Djakarta on 28-30
April. Sukarno may well accept the formula in the
belief that Indonesia could use the interval before
the plebiscite o bring about a result in favor of
independence
The main difficulty is likely to come from Malaya.
Nar simhan claims that he can persuade Prime Min-
ister Rahman of the plan's merits, but both Malayan
and British authorities have previously expressed
apprehension over granting a plebiscite in the Borneo
territories. They fear that a basic desire for inde-
pendence, further stimulated by Indonesia, might
result in rejection of Malaysia and upset the del'- 25X1

*Cyprus: A new constitutional court ruling on the
politically explosive municipal administration issue
raises the possibility of renewed violence between
Greek and Turkish communities. The ruling voided
recent actions of both communities in setting up ri-

government organs. Faced with this impasse, both
factions will probably seek a compromise solution
