5. ATHENS WARNS OF ANTI-GREEK RIOTS IN TURKEY
25X1A
Under instructions from Prime Minis-
ter Karamanlis, Greece's acting foreign
minister has told Ambassador Allen that
the Greek government is "greatly wor-
riecr, over a possibility of anti-Greek disturbances in
Istanbul during the UN debate on the Cyprus issue. Athens
is anxious, according to the minister, that Ankara "know in
advance such disturbances are expected so that the Turkish
government cannot say that the police in Istanbul were taken
by surprise:'
Allen comments that Karamanlis is now
in an angry mood and may take some drastic anti-Turkish move
if trouble recurs in Istanbul.
A similar warning was given by the Greek
government just before the Istanbul riots
of September 1955.

6. FORMER OPPONENTS OF ULBRICHT ADMITTED TO
EAST GERMAN PARTY CENTRAL COMMITTEE
25X1A
The admission to the central committee
of the East German Socialist Unity
(Communist) Party (SED) of three for-
mer opponents of First Secretary Walter
Ulbricht's policies may be designed to
appease the restive intellectual ele-
ment by giving it greater representation
in high party circles. The most promi-
nent of the three is. Franz Dahlem, for-
mer politburo member who was once regarded as Ulbricht's
principal opponent in the party, The other two are Hans
Jendretzky, former Berlin party boss, and Alexander Abusch,
leading East German intellectual. All three men were pub-
licly criticized by the party in 1952-53.
These appointments do not necessarily
presage any fundamental concessions to dissident elements
demanding more freedom, as Dahlem, at least, appears to
have been intimidated into supporting Ulbricht's policies.
Ulbricht, in his speech to the central committee meeting
last week, sharply rejected the concept of national Commu-
nism, once'espoused by Dahlem, and declared that East
Germany would not follow the Yugoslav pattern.
The ferment among intellectuals and stu-
dents and their demands for more freedom are causing the
regime serious concern. One group, led by a university pro-
fessor who was arrested in late November 1956, reportedly
had contacts with intellectuals in Hungary and Poland and with
Social Democrats in Germany with a view toward encour in
changes in East Germany.

8. PROVISIONAL PRESIDENT OF HAITI REPORTEDLY RESIGNS
Provisional President Pierre-Louis of
Haiti is reported to have resigned in the
face of a general strike, cabinet resig-
nations, and increasing criticism of his
government. A meeting of presidential
candidates and army leaders reportedly
decided to set up an interim revolutionary
government. It is possible that a junta
will assume power.
The question of legal succession is unclear.
The American embassy believes that Pierre-Louis, who be-
came chief executive following the ouster of dictator Magloire
on 12 December 1956, could be followed constitutionally by
J. B. Cineas, a senior judge of the court of appeals. Cineas
is reported acceptable to several presidential candidates and
a majority of the interested public.
Opposition to Pierre-Louis had developed
over his delay in setting a date for elections and his failure
to obtain enactment of electoral reform laws and laws seques-
tering the assets of members of the Magloire administration.
The financial and economic situation of
the country is serious and political unrest can be ex ected to
continue
