DAILY BRIEF

25X1
*USSR: The tone of Khrushchev's 19 July Moscow
speech suggests that he expects the tripartite talks
to reach an early agreement on a limited nuclear test
ban.
The Soviet premier seemed to treat an agreement
virtually as an accomplished fact by expressing the
hope that it will be "useful" in improving the inter-
national atmosphere. He also claimed that it would
demonstrate the validity of his policy of peaceful co-
existence.
Khrushchev did not indicate that an agreement ban-
ning tests in the atmosphere, outer space, and under-
water would be conditional on a moratorium on under-
ground tests or on a NATO - Warsaw Pact nonaggres-
sion treaty. He simply stated that "we would like to
hope" that the Moscow talks will produce agreement
on a nonaggression pact and hinted at considerable
flexibility on the precise formula for such an agree-
ment.
Khrushchev apparently intends to use the current
talks as a point of departure for further negotiations
on a nonaggression pact and other proposals bearing
on European security. He renewed previous Soviet
proposals for reductions in military budgets and
measures to prevent surprise attack. The only vari-
ant he suggested would provide for stationing Western
representatives with Soviet forces in East Germany
and Soviet representatives with Western forces in the
Federal Republic.

USSR--Industry: Soviet industrial production con-
tinues to expand at about the same rate as in recent
years.
The midyear plan fulfillment report issued by the
USSR Central Statistical Board on 18 July claims an.
8. 5-percent increase in production over a year ago---
a figure in line with the somewhat lower rates of
growth since 1960. Continuing problems of planning,
resource scarcities, and supply difficulties are re-
flected in the reported increase of only 4 percent in
state-planned -investment compared with a 10-percent
rise reported last year at this time.
The chemical industry apparently is maintaining
its strengthened position in the economy. Its share
of total investment has increased markedly over last
ear.

India:( The cabinet has reneged on the Indian-US
agreement signed earlier this month to build a com-
bined VOA relay and All-India Radio (AIR) transmit-
ter in Calcutta.
(AIR had planned. to use the transmitter to expand
anti-Chinese programming to Southeast Asia. The
cabinet's 17 July decision to request renegotiation of
the agreement results from anxiety about the impact
that India's growing intimacy with the West is having;
on Indian independence.)--
(The Indian left, strongly critical of the VOA-AIR
agreement, now will be heartened to redouble its
efforts to for edo the Indian -U~'3 -UK a ree ent on
air defense.)

*Syria: The pro-Nasir character of the 18 July
abortive coup has emerged more clearly as identifi-
cation of the participants is established.
ME,
25X1
The coup group was heavily made up of pro-
Nasir Palestinians and former followers of Nasir's
Syrian viceroy, Abd al-Hamid al-Sarraj. The con-
spiracy appears to have been hastily arranged with
no coordination with pro-Nasir elements in other
parts of Syria, especially in their stronghold of Aleppo.
The Cairo press has attacked the Syrian regime.
Egyptian newspapers today charge the Syrian Baaths
with "massacres"--"an unprecedented campaign of
terrorism."
The situation in Damascus is tense and sporadic
shooting continued yesterday. However, the Baath-
ist regime remains in control throughout the country.
The summary execution of nearly a score of partici-
pants in the plot is indicative of the Baath's determi-
nation~ to crush all opposition. In the past, unsuc-
cessful conspirators were either jailed or sent abroad.

British Guiana: Premier Jagan and opposition
leader Forbes Burnham, neither of whose parties
is enthusiastic about forming a coalition government,
appear to have suspended talks on the subject be-
cause Jagan has rejected Burnham's demand to lift
the emergency regulations. Meanwhile, the renewal
of jurisdictional labor disputes indicates that the
Jagan regime is continuing its efforts to gain con-
trol over organized labor. These disputes have al-
ready touched off some minor disturbances.
Communist China - Cuba-(A Chinese Communist
military delegation headed by General Liu Ya-lou,
the highest-level Chinese to visit Cuba since 1960,
has arrived in Havana for the 26 July Revolutionary
Day celebrations. Peiping's motive in sending a
person of Liu's stature--he is chief of the air force
and a party central committee member--is unknown.
Although China has been training some Cuban Air
Force personnel, it is unable to rovide ,.Havana with
Si nificant military assistance.

Austria -Berlin: The Austrian Government, in
response to Allied an'Rest German representations,
will terminate on 27 July the authorization recently
granted to East Germany's Interf lug airline for weekly
flights from East Berlin's Schoenefeld Airport to Vi-
enna. The Austrians, however, have reserved the
right to authorize unscheduled charter flights by East
German aircraft between these points. In any event,
Vienna's action apparently spells the end. for the pre-
sent to Austrian Ai lines' efforts to establis
servic-e-to Berlin,
