1. KHRUSHCHEV AND BULGANIN TO VISIT EAST
GERMANY IN AUGUST
Khrushchev and Bulganin will arrive
in East Berlin on 3 August and remain
until 5 or 6 August,
The announcement that
the Soviet leaders will visit East Germany
in August reduces the possibility that Ul-
bricht will be removed soon. With internal
opposition to Ulbricht reportedly higher than
ever before, they will probably give him pub-
lic support and lay down the line to party members that they must
again demonstrate their unity and avoid differences of opinion
which could lead to factionalism.
The Soviet leaders may use the occasion to
attempt to influence the forthcoming West German elections
by renewed references to the possibility of reunification if the
West German government will renounce its NATO alliance and en-
ter into direct negotiations with East Germany. The trade talks
going on between the Federal Republic and the Soviet Union will
undoubtedly be cited as evidence that the USSR is making a sincere
effort to normalize its relationships with West Germany and as an
indication of the advantages that could accrue to a reunified Ger-
many inclining to the East. (NOFORN)

2.. COMMUNIST LEADERS FROM FREE WORLD MAY
BE GATHERING IN MOSCOW
Leading Communists from outside the
Sino-Soviet bloc may be convening in
Moscow in the wake of the gathering of
Soviet- satellite leaders that apparently
took place late last week. Although the
primary aim of such a meeting would
probably be to give the Communist lead-
ers the official version of the recent
presidium shake-up, some steps might
be taken to set up a new international Com-
munist journal, as has been urged by some
foreign Communists.
The number-two Italian and French Com-
munist leaders, Luigi Longo and Jacques
Duclos, flew to Moscow on 16 and 20 July
respectively. The French Communist
secretary general, Maurice Thorez, left for Moscow by ship
on 21 July. A Belgian Communist delegation led by Party
Secretary Gerard Van Moerkerke was reportedly scheduled
to go to 'Moscow on 15 July. Austrian Party Chairman Johann
Koplsnig was in East Germany on 22. July and could easily have
gone to Moscow. Khalid Bakhdash, the leading Middle East
Communist, was en route to Switzerland two weeks ago and is
rumored to have gone on to Moscow. (NOFORN)

3. REDUCED BLOC PARTICIPATION IN POLAND'S
NATIONAL LIBERATION DAY CELEBRATION
Poland's National Liberation Day cele-
bration on 22 July, marking the anni-
versary of the founding in 1944 of the
Soviet-sponsored Lublin Committee of
Liberation, did not have the participa-
tion usual in past years by parliamentary and party delega-
tions from other satellite states and the USSR.
It may be that Warsaw, to emphasize
Gomulka's dictum that the new Polish road to socialism must
be underlined by a greater display of national independence,
did not extend invitations to foreign Communist delegations
to attend this year's celebration. The only non-Polish bloc
leader present was Ho Chi Minh of North Vietnam, engaged
in a tour of all satellite countries.
The USSR in the past has invariably sent
a ranking member of the party's presidium to convey the greet-
ings of the Soviet party and government. This year the USSR's
delegation represented the USSR's Society for Cultural Relations
with Foreign Countries. The Kremlin leadership limited itself
to a joint telegram of greetings from Khrushchev, Bulganin, and
Voroshilov. A boycott of the occasion by orbit leaders seems
unlikely since cordial telegrams were received from all Com-
munist capitals, and Polish embassy receptions abroad were
well attended and fully publicized in the Communist-controlled
press. (SECRET)
