DAILY BRIEF
I
j
USSR: Khrushchev continues to tell Western of --
ficials that he is about to undertake massive new in-
vestments in support of his agricultural and consumer
goods: programs.
In a conversation with Agriculture Secretary
Freeman on 30 July, Khrushchev linked his proposed
new course directly to a reduction in military spend-
ing: "We are fed up with rockets, we have enough
rockets. We are going to divert this money to agri-
culture." Khrushchev said chemical fertilizer pro-
duction would be increased from the present 20 mil-
lion tons to 100 million tons annually by 1970.. He
also said the USSR wanted to import plants for pro-
ducing fertilizer, herbicides, and mixed feeds.
There is good evidence that agriculture and the
chemical industry are already receiving increased
support and that even more will be forthcoming. How-
ever, none of it as yet justifies the conclusion that a
program of the magnitude suggested by Khrushchev
will, in fact, be seriously pursued.
In his references to having sufficient rockets,
Khrushchev may be referring to future levels which
will be reached from programs already under way.
Several programs--such as the SA-2 and the MRBM--
are probably approaching completion. There is no
indication as yet that the USSR has decided to phase
down the production and deployment of other missile
systems. However, any decisions taken recently
which affect Soviet missile programs would not be
apparent for some time.

Dominican Republic: (President Bosch's increas-

drastic, changes in his government or be forced out of

US Ambassador Martin comments that the situa-
tion has "not yet reached the flashpoint"--the military
high command is still loyal to Bosch- -but that, a crisis
needed social and. economic reforms.
(Bosch's difficulties are attributable largely to his
"si gular lack of capacity to govern," according to the
US ambassador. He has surrounded himself with
second-rate cabinet officials and advisers who are
largely incompetent or dishonest. He has lost much
of his initial popular support--including that of im-
portant segments of his own political party--through
failing to implement rapidly his program of urgently

Brazil: (The Brazilian Senate's approval on 7 Au-
gust of the nomination to the Supreme Court of extreme
leftist Foreign Minister Evandro Lins e Silva is a fur-
ther step toward giving President Goulart a sympa-
thetic court majority.)
(Lins' prejudice in favor of the extreme left is
likely to affect his court decisions. Lins is probably
going to pursue a course similar to that of former
Foreign Minister Hermes Lima, who has demonstrated
a lack of impartiality since his appointment to the
court earlier this year. In addition to Lins and Hermes
Lima, two other members of the 11-man court have
relatively recent extreme leftist connection
(Lins' replacement at the Foreign Ministry has
of been announced, but the individuals who have been
mentioned in public speculation range over a broad.

Burma: ~Geineral Ne Win has cracked down on
moderate op os tion elements who have been increas-
ingly bold in their criticism of the military regim!).

Among those arrested in Rangoon yesterday were

Ba ~Ve and Kyaw Nyein, leaders of the once dominant
Anti-Fascist Peoples Freedom League, as well as
several officers of former Premier U NuIs Union Party.
A government communique' has charged those arrested
with trying to wreck amnesty negotiations currently
under way.with various Communist and ethnic insur-
gent groups)
13a Swe earlier claimed that his arrest, which
has ((o'ng been threatened, would trigger a counter-
revolutionary movement. The decisive power factor
continues to be the military, which thus far has sup-
ported Ne Win despite solne discontent over. his ex-
treme socialist policies./ I

NOTES
South Vietnam: The growing effectiveness of the
government's Civilian Irregular Defense Group--a US-
trained. local militia force--has resulted in a sharp
step-up of Viet Cong action against the group. During
July, the Communists made a determined bid to dis-
rupt militia recruitment and training through armed
attacks and propaganda. There is some evidence that
the Communists hope to put more pressure on the mili-
tia by reinforcing Viet Con units o eratin near iso-
lafPd militia s.
Sudan: The refugee leaders of the southern Suda-
nese separatist movement are increasingly in favor of
attempting to develop guerrilla warfare in the southern
Sudan and may soon attempt to launch some insurrec-
tionary or terroristic activities. The government is
aware of these threats, and for some time has main-
tained. tight security controls in the south, Neverthe-
less, some minor disturbances ma occur.
