Checked with Jack Ticer, Senate Armed Services Committee stall, about the matter of a briefing of Frank Sullivan, of the Committee staff, on Soviet general forces and Soviet and Chinese nuclear programs. ,I reminded Ticer that we were awaiting word from him that Sullivan's top secret security clearance had been reinstituted through the Department of Defense before proceeding to grant him compartmented clear- ances and provide him with the briefing. Ticer recalled our prior conversation on this subject and assured me he would let me know when they have final word from DOD. 2. orothy Fosdick, Senator Jackson's Permanent Subcommi _b _ __ J_aff, called to say that Senator Jackson wanted Richard Perle and her to get a briefing on the "cease fire line" in the Middle East. I told her it was my impression there was no cease fire line as such but I would check and be back in touch with her. Later in the day, after conversations wit and Mr. Maury on the subject, I told Fosdick and Perle that indeed there were no clearly defined "cease fire lines" or clear lines establishing relative positions of the Arabs and Israelis. Perle asked what kind of a map Kissinger, State, had before his discussion in Moscow and I told him I had no idea. I went on to say that with respect to Kissinger's maps, he might want to check with the State Department or, as Maury had suggested to Senator Jackson the other day, they might want to contact the Department of Defense to see if they had any more specific information on the relative position of the Arab/Israeli forces. Perle's only comment was that he would go back to Senator Jackson and perhaps check with the "military people. " 3. 1 1 In response to a call from Scott Cohen, Executive Asrisrar rto iaioz harles Percy (R., Ill. ), Mr. Maury and I talked with him about the situation in the Middle East and Maury briefed him on the scale of military activities of both the Egyptian and Syrian forces using the latest situation reports and the prepared statement which the Director used before the House Armed Services Committee this morning.

In its initial stages, land reform in Communist China has followed, with some mod- ifications, the pattern established by the USSR, in particular as it has been applied in the European Satellites. First, the great land- lords and even the more well-to-do peasants are dispossessed, and their holdings are distributed among the landless and land-poor peasants. Then follows the fostering of various types of cooperatives, all within the aura of intensive propaganda aimed toward the complete socialization of agriculture. The process is proceeding in Communist China more rapidly than was anticipated. By the spring of 1952, land had been redistributed to about 300 million peasants (including mem- bers of their households). So far, it appears that agricultural production in Communist China has not been measurably affected as a result of the land distribution, although it is still too early to evaluate with any degree of certainty the effects on agricultural production. 1. Redistribution of Land. The Chinese Communist program of land reform was initiated under the Agrarian Law of September 1947.,1/* This law abolished owner- ship rights in land and provided for the confiscation of land and means of production belonging to "landlords and kulaks" and the trans- fer of this property to landless and land-poor peasants as private property. Land confiscation followed the "liberation" of new ter- ritories by the Chinese Communist armies, generally in a geographic pattern beginning in the Northeast (Manchuria) and North China -- so-called old liberated areas -- through the East, Central-South, and Southwest regions of China. * Footnote references in arabic numerals are to sources listed in the Appendix.

Instructions were given to create within 1 to 2 years the necessary conditions for land. reform; that is, a stabilized situation including the evacuation of all Nationalist troops, a demand from the majority of peasants for con- fiscation and redistribution, and enough agrarian reform workers guiding the movement to assure success. At the same time, steps were to be taken to prevent a falling off in agricultural production. Thus the actual work of land distribution was usually carried out after the fall harvests and relaxed at spring planting time. According to the official plan, land was to be distributed progres- sively over a series of years, so that by the spring of 1952 the first stages of land reform would have been completed and specified numbers of the rural population would have been benefited, on the following schedule _!? by the spring of 1949, 100 million people; by the spring of 1950, 157 million; by the spring of 1951, 285 million; and by the spring of 1952, 385 million. Certain districts have been excluded from this schedule: Sinkiang, Inner Mongolia, the Northwest, and Tibet. Because of the indigenous customs pertaining to land tenure among the minority ethnic groups living in these districts, a different technique to be described later is being applied. Members of peasant households in Honan received from 2 to 3 mou (0.13 to 0.2 hectare) of land per capita, and in Hunan and Hupeh the allotments of land ranged from 1 to 2.5 mou (0.06 to 0.17 hectare). ! By the spring of 1952, about 300 million peasants, including mem- bers of their households, had received land benefits, and it is the expectation that land distribution will have been completed by the end of 1952. J As a rule, certificates of proprietorship have been issued to peasants receiving land. 5/ As a means of checking the progress of their program, the Communist hierarchy sent out inspection teams in the early part of 1952 to deter- mine irregularities and report cases in which the land reform had not been successful. Persons accused of being deviationists were very often subjected to violence. It is, in fact, estimated that at least 1.5 million people have been executed and that perhaps 35 million to 45 million have been stigmatized as "exploiters" and have been. pauperized and maltreated in varying degrees. 61 It is possible that this pro- cedure has been used as a tool to create a "labor force" for use on government projects such as the Huai Ho water conservancy project.

Role of the Comunist Party in the Redistribution of Land. Con:i.st Party has rigidly controlled the redistribution of land inChina through directives to Party cadres, who are trained and then sent to the villages to organize work teams to effect the con- fiscation of land, to classify the inhabitants (that is, as landloi&s, middle peasants, and poor peasants), and actually to distribute the land. Furthermore, following the distribution of the land, the cadres engage in completely reorganizing rural life. By indoctrination and training they are attempting to gain control of the people at the grass-roots level, especially in old "liberated" areas like North China and the Northeast. 3. Further Steps in Chinese Communist Agrarian Policy. The Chinese Communists do not intend that the land redistribution is to be an end in itself. It is only-the first stage in their agrar- ian policy. Land redistribution was almost immediately followed by a second stage inaugurated by the organization of so-called Mutual Aid Teams. The programs set up for these Mutual Aid Teams have been of four general types: (a) The first type is the interchange of labor at seeding time in spring. (b) The second type is the interchange of labor during each of the three busy seasons of planting, cultivating, and harvesting. In this program, the winter season, when supplemental income is earned, is not included. (c) The third type is the estab- lishment of a year-round labor pool in which implements and animals sometimes are awned Jointly, and sometimes working capital is also pooled. (d) The fourth type is the cooperative farming of the land, with all operations of`planting, cultivating, and harvesting performed on. a partnership basis, production being divided according to inputs. This fourth type still excludes the winter supplemental work. 7 It has been officially announced that 80 percent of farm households in Manchuria and 55 percent in North China have been organized into Mutual Aid Teams of one or another of these four general types, Statistics are incomplete for the rest of China, but percentages of organization are undoubtedly lower than in the North and Northeast, where Communist control is not so firm. The 19-52 plan for North. China is to organize 70 to 80 percent of all peasants into cooperatives and other types of Mutual Aid Teams. The next stage of the agrarian reform is the organization of the Agricultural Producer Cooperative, in which all boundaries of house- .hold lands are eradicated and in which there is a complete division of activities among labor groups. The government encourages the S -E -C -R -E -T Approved For Release 1999/09/21 : CIA-RDP79T00935A000200170001-4 Approved For Release 1999/09/21 : CIA-RDP79T00935A000200170001-4 S-E-C-R-E-T evolution of the four types of Mutual Aid Teams into the Agricultural Producer Cooperative type. The shares of each member in the profits are governed by the individual's inputs of land, labor, and capital. In an April speech, Kao Kang, chairman of the Northeast China People's Government, stated that there are now more than 1,200 Agricultural Producer Cooperatives in the Northeast.* At the same time that Agricultural Producer Cooperatives are being encouraged by the government, state farms are being organized in increasing numbers. There are 52 relatively large state farms in various localities, 10 including 20 large mechanized farms in Man- churia. 11 The latter have been in existence since the Japanese occupation and were taken over by the Communist government'in 1948. The purpose of the large farms in Manchuria is to train cadres of young Communists. in modern mechanized farming methods and at the same time to indoctrinate them with the "political ideology" which is thought to be correlated with the idea of collective farming. Wheat and soy- beans are mostly grown on these farms. The goal is to establish a state farm at regional, provincial, county, and subcounty levels, to serve as a model for Mutual Aid Teams and Agricultural Producer Cooperatives. Nationalization of the land has not entered into the Chinese pic- ture as yet. The Chinese Communists are convinced, however, that agriculture must be collectivized if China is to acquire the capital and labor it needs for industrialization. 4. Evaluation of Chinese Communist Agrarian Policy. There are many indications that the Chinese Communists are in a general way following in the path of Communists in the USSR and the European Satellites, benefiting perhaps in some instances by their experiences and mistakes. As in the USSR, the first principle of action has been the abolition of private ownership of land "in order to free the rural productive forces, develop agricultural production, and thus pave the way for New China's industrialization." 12/ By this means the regime will gain control of agricultural production. Like the USSR, China needs agricultural commodities to barter for industrial goods. * Kao Kang further stated that the Northeast would be fully mechanized within 5 or 6 years. 9/ Before the Japanese war, 80 percent of the total value of China's exports cam from agricultural commodities. - 4 - S-E-C-R-E-T Approved For Release 1999/09/21 : CIA-RDP79T00935A000200170001-4 Approved For Release 1999/09/21 : CIA-RDP79T00935A000200170001-4 S E-C-R-E-T The genuine grievances of the Chinese peasants have been skillfully utilized by the Chinese Communists in their struggle for political power, agrarian reform being made an effective political instrument. Consequently, one characteristic of the land policy of the Chinese Communists is its synchronization with political expediency. Certainly it can be expected that the regime became popular to a degree, having given the "land to the tillers," 12 which was the promise of Sun Yat Sen. What has actually followed as an immediate after-effect is a matter of conjecture. There have been reports 13 that the taxes exacted by the Communists are higher than total taxes under the old government -- the announced rate is no higher than 37 percent of all crops produced -- but some reports indicate that it is often as high as 50 to 70 percent. When the 1952 wheat harvest turned out to be better than average, the government immediately announced a higher collection rate. In addition to taxes, farmers are induced to make "voluntary" contributions to "victory bonds" and to "arms for Korea." Since dune 1950, Chinese Communist tactics have been to encourage a "rich" peasant economy. By efforts to induce peasants to work with- out fear that their produce would be requisitioned, the government hopes to stimulate production. "Rich" peasants are encouraged because their land and means of production are generally superior and because their productivity is therefore higher than the average. At the same time, the government has taken steps to minimize resistance to its policies. As in all primitive countries, Chinese peasant farmers are wedded to the principle of private property and do not understand the "advantage" to be gained from nationalization. Another aspect of the Chinese Communist agricultural policy is that great stress has been placed on endouraging the peasants to organize voluntarily, a process which may permit China to avoid the disruption that followed the forced collectivization of land in the USSR in the early 19301s. According to one report, 25X1 X7 Kao Kang said 15/: "Cooperatives in such manner that is, forcibly organize d3 will produce very poor results and will leave a bad impression upon the people, adding dif- ficulties to the future development of Agricultural Producer Cooperatives." - 5 - S-E-C-R-E-T Approved For Release 1999/09/21 : CIA-RDP79T00935A000200170001-4 Approved For Release 1999/09/21 : CIA-RDP79T00935A000200170001-4 S-E-C-R-E-T Propaganda, political pressure, and economic inducements are combined to convince peasants of the "advantages" of Mutual Aid Teams and Agri- cultural Producer Cooperatives. For instance, farm equipment supply stations, fertilizer cooperatives, and so on, give priority of supply to Mutual Aid Teams and Agricultural Producer Cooperatives. In the Northwest and some other areas where there are ethnic minor- ities, the implementation of the land reform differs from that carried out in areas populated by Chinese. Chinese Communist officials have even stated 161: "Before land reform can be carried out well, it must be demanded by the local minority nationality masses, concurred in by the leading personages, directed by localities, and its method of implementation planned in complete conformity with local conditions. "There will be no expropriation of land owned by Mohammedan mosques and Tibetan monasteries for distribu- tion. These lands are closely related to the religious faith of the masses and they must be differentiated from the land of the landlords." In China proper the graves which, it is said, occupy 2 percent of the arable land, have so far been left intact, although many churches have been confiscated and are used for grain storage. It is perhaps too early to judge the results of the agrarian pol- icies, but it appears that agricultural production has not been meas- urably affected as a result of the land distribution. It is reported that some peasants have already become disenchanted with the regime -- with its interference in their private lives, and constant drives for donations added to the high taxes -- and have resisted through the weapon of lowered production. This result is difficult to ascertain, however, from production statistics, because of the long period of war with Japan, then civil war and disruption, and a serious drought in 1949. Among the problems which will confront the Chinese Communist govern- ment are a further subdivision of the tillable land and the practical application of mechanization. The latter cannot be accomplished with- out the consolidation of small holdings into units large enough for the economic use of modern farm machinery which is one of the reasons for the government stressing the Agricultural Producer Cooperative. - 6 - S-E-C-R-E-T Approved For Release 1999/09/21 : CIA-RDP79T00935A000200170001-4 Approved For Release 1999/09/21 : CIA-RDP79T00935A000200170001-4 S-E-C-R-E-T For the Communists, the mechanization of agriculture is pre- requisite to industrialization, and in China it seems a particularly formidable problem. Agricultural implements cannot be manufactured domestically in sufficient amounts, and the more urgent need of other items precludes the importation of agricultural implements. There is no evidence of the importation of agricultural machinery in signif- icant quantities either from the USSR or from other sources. On the other hand, the estimated industrial labor force of China and Man- churia today is about 2 million as contrasted with an agricultural labor force of 200 million to 240 million. Chinese industry is unable to absorb the present surplus agricultural labor, and there would have to be a tremendous expansion in industry before the additional labor supply released by the mechanization of agriculture could possibly be absorbed. It is believed that mechanization of agriculture in China will follow the same general pattern as was followed in the USSR, and as is being followed in the European Satellites today. This pattern is to propagandize mechanization, but to defer its being put into effect until such time as industry has developed to a point where it can pro- vide the necessary farm machinery and also absorb additional manpower. In all the present Communist countries, at the time that the Communist regimes came into power, there existed a situation similar to that now obtaining in China -- a general inadequacy of industry and a large agricultural population, generally under employed. In the USSR, mechanization of agriculture was not attempted until 10 or 15 years after the Russian Revolution of 1919. The European Satellite govern- ments are only now beginning to make serious attempts to mechanize agriculture, 7 or 8 years after gaining power. How long the mechaniza- tion of agriculture will require in Communist China is difficult to foretell, but it is believed to be several years in the future. -7- S E-C-R-E-T Approved For Release 1999/09/21 : CIA-RDP79T00935A000200170001-4 Approved For Release 1999/09/21 : CIA-RDP79T00935A000200170001-4 S-E-C-R-E-T APPENDIX SOURCES Evaluations, following the classification entry and designated "Eval.," have the following significance: A - Completely reliable B - Uusually reliable C - Fairly reliable D - Not usually reliable E - Not reliable F - Cannot be judged 1 - Confirmed by other sources 2 - Probably true 3 - Possibly true 4 - Doubtful 5 - Probably false 6 - Cannot be judged Evaluations not otherwise designated are those appearing on the cited document; those designated "RR" are by the author of this report.

A total of 31 Communist officials were PNG'd during the period. For every PNG case that is documented as public knowledge, there are countless instances of officials whose PNG cases remain unpublicized for political reasons, of officials who leave quietly before action can be taken against them, or of officials who through public exposure become identified as intelligence officers operating under the guise of commercial or other representation but against whom no action is taken. For example, during the summer 1970 trial in Bonn, West Ger- many, of confessed spy Joseph Eitzenberger, he named Ivan Semeno- vich MOSKALENKO, Counselor at the Soviet Embassy in Vienna as the recipient of classified NATO and West European s,eientific information. Vienna newspaper accounts of late June said the Austrian Foreign Office had requested a report on MOSKALENKO from the Interior Ministry and that if the report should indicate that MOSKALENKO were operating against the interests of Austria, "something will be done." MOSKALENKO remained in Vienna. Similarly, in Mexico during March 1970 Soviet intelligence officers were identified by Raya KISELNIKOVA during press confer- ences held after her escape from the Soviet embassy where she had been a secretary in the Soviet Trade Mission. According to accounts in El Universal, Excelsior, and other major Mexican news- papers, KISELNIKOVA told the Mexican secret police that four members of the consular section, whose names she revealed in secret, spent only eight hours weekly on their jobs of issuing visas,: and the rest of their time in secret operations involving Mexican workers and student organizations. She publicly identified Oleg Maksimovich NECHIPORENKO, embassy Second Secretary and Chief of the Consular Section, as the "watchdog" of Soviet personnel stationed in Mexico. She also publicly identified embas- sy First Secretary Yuriy Viktorovich KUPLYAKOV as active in espio- nage work. No actions were taken against these Soviets. The Second Secretary of the Rumanian Embassy in Switzerland Ion CROITORU, left suddenly for home when he was identified as the contact of an arrested Swiss spy whose case broke last February.

A former Second Secretary of the Soviet Embassy who had left Switzerland the year before, Aleksandr Fedorovich GRACHEV, was also identified as the KGB contact of the accused. Two Soviet commercial representatives were recalled to the USSR following publicity given them in the West German press during January 1970. They were Viktor BAKUNOV who represented Avtoeksport in East Germany and Vladimir Denisovich PAVLOV who was a commercial counselor in the Soviet Trade Mission in East Germany. Both BAKUNOV and PAVLOV were exposed as having tried to recruit stewardesses on international airlines flying into West Berlin to serve as couriers between Berlin and Western countries and to bring "espionage mail" and other secret material over the border without inspection. In Sweden, the First Secretary of the Soviet Embassy, Ivan Pavlovich KISELEV, was the subject of a two-part feature story which ran in the August-September 1970 issues of the magazine Lektyr. The articles were authored by an East German, Swedish- aa sed free lance journalist whom KISELEV had previously recruited. One of the articles carried photographs of actual agent meetings between KISELEV and the journalist. KISELEV, who was assigned to the Soviet Embassy in Sweden as of July 1967, had been one of the 20 Soviet officials declared PNG and expelled from Ghana during March 1966 in the wake of the overthrow of Kwame Nkrumah. The names mentioned above represent a mere handful of the examples which could be cited. The listings which follow concern PNG actions taken during 1970.

COMMUNIST OFFICIALS DECLARED PERSONA NON GRATA (PNG) DURING 1970 (By case, within geographic areas where the action was taken.) AFRICA Congo (Kinshasa) On 16 May 1970, the Kinshasa daily Le Progres reported the ex- pulsion of four Soviets -as'the-result of the'Congo (Kinshasa) Government's discovery of a Russian spy network operating within the Congolese army, Ministry of Information, and Ministry of Foreign Affairs.' The Soviet diplomats were accused of holding frequent meetings;with student elements to spread "false rumors." The press cited a reciprocal agreement made between the governments of Congo (Kinshasa) and the USSR to limit to seven the number of diplomats in the embassies of each country and noted that the USSR had upped the number of Soviets in the Kinshasa diplomatic community to 42. Kinshasa, meanwhile, had four diplomats in Moscow. The 20 May issue of La Tribune Africain identified the expellees and named three additional Soviets whose nefarious activities had been re- vealed during government investigations. The Soviet diplomats expelled were: Oleg Vladimirovich SIMANTOVSKIY, KGB official and embassy attache; Igor STUDENIKOV, KGB official and interpreter; Boris PODKILZIN, KGB official in the embassy consular office; and Fedor Fedorovich VALYALIN, long- term embassy visitor. VALYALIN first arrived in Kinshasa as an escort officer for a Soviet football team which visited the Congo in December 1969. He carried a diplomatic passport with a visi- tor's visa. When the football team left, VALYALIN stayed. He moved into the Soviet embassy and a few weeks later quietly asked for a permanent visa and a diplomatic identity card, both of which he got. The other Soviets' implicated by the article in La Tribune Africain were: Vitaliy Grigoryevich NOVIKOV, embassy Counselor and official; Ivan Ignatyevich STOVBUN, press attache and GRU official who had been previously expelled from Israel; and Boris G. TUMANOV, TASS representative. By late July, TUMANOV too had been expelled. The 6 June issue of the government- controlled newspaper, Tribune Diplomatigue, had charged that TUMANOV was in reality an officer in the Soviet GRU intelligence organization who disguised himself as a newspaperman. The article called for TUMANOV to leave the country; he ignored the suggestion.

The Congo- lese Ministry of Information announced that "TUMANOV was ordered to leave the former Belgian Congo within 48 hours" and noted that "the Ministry had informed TUMANOV that the measure was taken against him personally." Following investigations of charges that East German aid officials, including some teachers, had been actively "meddling in internal affairs," the Zanzibar government announced PNG action taken against East German Counselor Siegfried BUETTNER as of mid-June 1970. Belgium On 31 March 1970, Brussels daily La Lanterne reported the arrest of Boris Trofimovich SAVICH, a Sovietyee at the joint Soviet-Belgian motor vehicle business corporation, Scaldia-Volga. SAVICH was arrested in a Brussels restaurant where he was caught attempting to get Western military data. The Belgian Justice Ministry charged SAVICH with trying to set up "a spy network in- side the NATO military nerve center in southern Belgium." SAVICH was also accused of showing undue interest in the French Mirage-5. A few days later, he was declared PNG and expelled from Belgium. In mid-December 1970, the Belgian Security Service apprehended Assistant Polish Military Attache, Lt. Col. Wlodzimierz KWIATKOWSKI, "in the act of taking possession of NATO documents," according to press reports. KWIATKOWSKI and his chauffeur, Albert BALAWENDER, were subsequently expelled. In describing the incident, The Hague's Haagsche Courant noted, 28 December, that the Polish military attac returned home "for reasons of health." AP and Reuters Paris dispatches, of 23 July 1970, revealed that a Polish diplomat, Jan RODAK, had been caught "red handed" spying and that the French Foreign Office had demanded his imme- diate recall to Warsaw. RODAK was described as Second Secretary of the Polish Embassy, posted to Paris since 26 June 1970 and apprehended on 4 July 1970. Italy On 13 February 1970, Rome's La Stampa, Il Messaggero, and other 2 Approved For Release 1999/09/02 : CIA-RDP79-01194A000300140001-8 Approved For Release 1999/09/02 : CIA-RDP79-01194A000300140001-8 big dailies reported PNG action taken against two Soviets earlier that month. Vladimir Ivanovich ALEKSANDROV, an employee in the Soviet Military Attache's office in Rome since mid-1968, was expelled on the charge that he had obtained military information involving the security.of Italy from an Italian Air Force sergeant. Lolliy Petro- vich ZAMOYSKIY, Izvetiva representative in Rome since March 1968, was expelled for "infringing the rule governing the residence of Soviet journalists in Italy." The Zamoyskiy case was actually in retaliation for the USSR's earlier expulsion of Ennio Caretto, Moscow correspondent for Rome's La Stampa. On 10 March 1970, the Italian Government took formal PNG action against Albanian Foto SOFRONI, embassy Second Secretary. SOFRONI had been:involved in the collection of military intelligence through an Italian Air Force soldier based at the Italian Air Base, Foggia. The Italian Security Service decided to roll up the case when the Albanian sought detailed information on Italian Air Force radio frequencies. SOFRONI was also interested in NATO strength, NATO classified documents, and U.S. Air bases in Italy. The Dutch Government, on 6 May 1970, named as spies Soviets Boris Pavlovich NETREBSKIY, who acted as both Novosti representa- tive and embassy Second Secretary, and Vladimir S emenovich SHAROVATOV, a Soviet embassy employee without diplomatic status. Stories in De Volkskrant and Algemeen Dagblad of 8-11 May said the pair had come to of icial attention after a 17 February auto accident near Schipol airfield where their Volga car ran off the road and sank in- to a canal. Both were unhurt but were unable to get their belong- ings out of the car. The Foreign Ministry announcement said police had found a map of Dutch military installations and other incrimi- nating documents in the vehicle. At the time of the announcement, SHAROVATOV was in the USSR; he was refused re-entry. NETREBSKIY was given 48 hours to leave. (See attached reprint from Algemeen Dag- blad, "Novosti: Cover for Spies.") Norway On 29 January, stories broke in the Norwegian press regarding two Soviet diplomats who had been quietly expelled during 1968 as a result of two separate unpublicized military espionage cases. The officials were Sergey Mikhaylovich LEBEDEV, embassy Third Sec- retary, and Stanislav Grigoryevich UTKIN, embassy Second Secretary. The Norwegian Defense Association had recently issued a resolution calling for greater openness on the part of the authorities with respect to matters of a military or politico-military character. The resolution also indicated that "active intelligence agents having diplomatic status had been expelled from the country." Articles in Oslo's Morgenbladet of 29 and 31 January expressed Nor- Approved For Release 1999/09/02 : CIA-RDP79-01194A000300140001-8 Approved For Release 1999/09/02 : CIA-RDP79-01194A000300140001-8 wegian concern over the growing Soviet representation which totaled 80 members of the diplomatic community, and asked why the Soviets had been so quietly expelled and why the Norwegian people had not been previously informed of the cases. In mid-May 1970, a Soviet engineer who had been living in Osld since about October 1968 was declared PNG on charges of espionage. The engineer, Valeriy Moiseyevich MESROPOV, was an employee in the joint Soviet-Norwegian commercial venture, Koneisto-Norge A/S in Drammen. The Norwegian press reported 15 September that "a Soviet engineer was arrested after the authorities felt they had proof he had used his stay in Norway to recruit contacts who might be useful in illegal intelligence work." (See also the attached reprint from Morgenbladet of 22 September concerning the affairs of Koneisto- Norge and the MESROPOV case.) An espionage case in Switzerland during early 1970 resulted in the departure from that country of two Soviet officials and the identification of an additional Soviet intelligence officer. On 3 February 1970, Marcel Buttex, a Swiss official in charge of immi- gration and residence permits in Lausanne, was arrested as a Soviet spy. Buttex was responsible for supplying Soviet diplomats with large quantities of Swiss identity papers and other material that would enable Soviets to smuggle illegals using Swiss documents in- to Switzerland and other countries. The case of Marcel Buttex resulted in the expulsion from Switzerland of Soviet diplomats Nikolay Andreyevich SAVIN, Second Secretary, and of Aleksey Petrovich STERLIKOV, First Secretary. Former Second Secretary Aleksandr Fedorovich GRACHEV, who had returned to the USSR in July 1969, was also exposed for his role in the Buttex case. United Kingdom In October 1969 Polish Ambassador DOBROSIELSKI in London was called to the British Foreign Office and told that four members of his staff had been involved in "inadmissible activities" and that he should draw his own conclusions. Colonel Czeslaw TANANA, Assistant Military Attache, departed in early December 1969. When the other three Poles, Second Secretary Janusz PRYSTROM and two clerks in the Military Attach6's Office, had not left by 16 January 1970 they were ordered to leave the country. (See the attached reprint from The Daily Telegraph of 28 January 1970, concerning this case and retaliatory PNG action against British diplomats taken by the Polish government.) 4 Approved For Release 1999/09/02 : CIA-RDP79-01194A000300140001-8 Approved For Release 1999/09/02 : CIA-RDP79-01194A000300140001-8 West Germany On 19 December 1970, Die Welt and Bild Zeitun carried stories of an espionage case involving an un-named- oviet diplomat. At about the same time, the First Secretary of the Embassy of the USSR, Petr Fedorovich BOROVINSKIY, went home for the Christmas holidays. By 7 January 1971, the Bonn Government let it be known that BOROVINSKIY had been asked to leave the country and a Die Welt article asserted that BOROVINSKIY was a leading figure tH67Toviet intelligence service and that two West Germans who had been working with him, a Daniel Walczak and his son, had been arrested. The 20 January 1971. issue of Quick describes the Soviet diplomat as "GRU Colonel Petr Fedorovic OVINSKIY, legal resident and chief of an approximately 20-man GRU spy group in the Soviet embassy." Through his contacts with the West Germans, the article said, BOROVINSKIY had acquired infrared and other electronic gear from a West German Leopard-type tank, an ABC gas mask, NATO troop, maneuver maps, and other classified military data. WESTERN HEMISPHERE Argentina After 1 Soviets Yuriy Ivanovich RYABOV and Yuriy Leonidovich MAMENTOV were arrested on 4 November 1970, and expelled three days later, the Argentine Government issued an official statement to the effect that the two had been discovered carrying out activities "incompatible with their positions." According to articles in El Universal and other Buenos Aires papers of 6-8 November, RY arrived in Argentina in May as a representative of the Soviet travel bureau, Inturist, and MAMONTOV represented two Soviet commercial trade organizations, Medeksport and Soveksportfilm. As employees of the Soviet trade mission, neither had diplomatic immunity. Press reports at the time of their arrest said both men had been under police surveillance for several weeks and suspicion that they were KGB agents was confirmed to the government's satisfaction when, upon arrest, one was found to be carrying a metal tube which authorities said contained microfilmed data on military and industrial complexes. At the time of their arrest, RYABOV threw himself on the ground in an effort to; injure himself and thus prove mistreatment, and MAMONTOV tried to swallow a page of writing from his notebook. Janos HEGEDUS, First Secretary in the Hungarian Embassy in Ottowa was declared PNG on 7 January 1970. HEGEDUS was involved in an intelligence operation with a naturalized Canadian of Hungarian origin who fled Hungary in 1956 and was employed by a Approved For Release 1999/09/02 : CIA-RDP79-01194A000300140001-8 Approved For Release 1999/09/02 : CIA-RDP79-01194A000300140001-8 Canadian Government department. In retaliation, Canadian Consul S.G. Noble was PNG'd and left Budapest on 31 January 1970. United Nations In February 1970, Ale:ksandr Vasilyevich TIKHOMIROV, a Russian translator with the United Nations Secretariat since June 1965, was arrested in Seattle, Washington, and charged with conspiring with an un-named U.S. Air Force sergeant to get secret materials concerning the air defense system of the Pacific Northwest. TIKHOMIROV was declared PNG on 16 February and expelled on 17 February. The Soviets attempted to claim diplomatic immunity for TIKHOMIROV. Their claim was rejected on the basis that he was an employee of an international organization and had "functional immunity only when performing duties of an official capacity." Two members of the Cuban mission to the United Nations were asked to leave in October 1970 on charges they had used a female employee of a "friendly embassy" in Washington to collect political intelligence about the Americas. The officials were Counselor Rogelio RODRIGUEZ Lopez and First Secretary Orlando PRENDES Gutierrez. United States In retaliatory measures, two Soviet correspondents were declared PNG by the United States in 1970. Pravda correspondent in New York, Boris Mikhaylovich OREKHOV, was-ceclared PNG on 26 June for having engaged in "non-journalistic activities." OREKHOV was also charged with having twice violated travel restric- tions. Washington press corps member, Leonid Nikolayevich ZHEGALOV, was declared PNG in November.

THE TWO SOVIET INTELLIGENCE SERVICES: The Soviet Union has two large intelligence services: the KGB, which is the state security committee, and the GRU, which is the intelligence command of the Soviet general staff. The KGB is the more powerful of the two. It is directly under the Council of Ministers of the Soviet Union, while the GRU comes under the Ministry of Defense. The GRU is connected with the KGB in many areas, particularly with regard to the central files, which are kept by the KGB. All intelligence is kept there, regardless of subject or origin (even if it is from the GRU). In addi- tion, the KGB has two missions: one offensive (espionage) and one defensive (counter-espionage). The GRU has only one, principally: offensive intelligence, specifically related to the military domain. The KGB carries out its defensive role even inside the army and the GRU.

Savitch was carrying a Minox miniature camera, a large amount of film and a great deal of money. He was interested in the activities of NATO-SHAPE and in the Mirage 5, the French fighter-bomber ordered by the Belgian army. At the moment of his arrest, the spy attempted to escape. Both Savitch and his contact were taken into custody. They are still being interrogated by the Belgian Security forces, which is continuing its investigation throughout the country. Other Soviets ostensibly working in Belgium may be implicated in the affair. Savitch is the eighth Soviet agent whose activities have been discovered in Belgium in the past three years. Boris Savitch was born in Zhitmir, a city in the Ukraine (USSR) in 1934. He is 36 years old. Small, broad-backed, with wavy black hair, he is very talkative. He is married and has two sons. His apartment is located in the Scaldia-Volga building in Diegem, near the offices of the secretary-general of NATO, located in the commune of Evere. Savitch was sent to Belgium by the company in October 1967 as an engineering specialist. He obtained a work permit for Belgium, stating his official occupation as selling Scaldia-Volga trucks. This cover gave him great freedom of movement. Truck Salesman Savitch began his clandestine activities by first attempting to utilize radical left-wing anti-NATO groups to achieve his purposes in SHAPE. He was looking for collaborators. During a routine operation, the State Security became interested in him and began a close surveillance, shadowing him con- stantly-Shadowing is one of the techniques utilized by the counter-espionage services. It is not an absolutely reliable technique, but at least it helps determine whether or not the subject is a professional spy. In this matter, his behavior during movements is very significant. This surveillance led to the arrest of the "truck salesman" on Wednesday, March 25. On that day, Savitch and a contact were in a restaurant in the Linkebeek suburb of Brussels.* It is a fine, well-run place; the owner pre- pares the meals and the wife waits- on the table. "Open-air dining in a private and quiet location," the restaurant's advertisements say. It is the perfect spot for a rendezvous! A large parking lot surrounds the house. The property forms an enclave in the surrounding property. An access road is big enough for one car at a time to pass. It is an ideal spot: 1. for the location; 2. for its respectability;,. for its reputation; 4. for its food. Approved For Release 1999/09/022: CIA-RDP79-01194A000300140001-8 Approved For Release 1999/09/02 : CIA-RDP79-01194A000300140001-8 Savitch was able to appreciate all this. In fact, he had reportedly gone there several times before with a guest: a "contact" or a "truck salesman" or even a comrade from the Soviet Embassy, which he visited frequently and where he enjoyed certain privileges. On this particular day, Savitch and his guest were eating in the inside dining room of the restaurant. They were just finishing their meal. It was near 1500 hours. At that moment, a car entered the grounds. Four State Security agents got out. The two diners were confronted. Savitch, obviously panic-stricken, started to run, abandoning his guest, who stood rooted to,the spot. The agents caught the fugitive. The two-men were searched and taken into custody. A Miniature Camera When they searched Savitch, the Security Force found he was carrying a Minox miniature camera, a large supply of film, a great sum of money, and a map of a clandestine rendezvous. At the time of his arrest, the "truck sales- man" was trying to obtain information about Belgian military bases and about SHAPE-NATO. Savitch was especially interested in the Mirage, the French-made fighter-bomber which has been ordered by the Belgian army. Pilot training courses for the aircraft have already been set up.' The Soviets wanted infor- mation concerning the manufacturing of the Mirages. Other Soviets may be involved in the affair. An investigation is under- way in Brussels and in the provinces. The Minister of Justice announced yesterday that he had issued a deportation order against Savitch. The order had not yet been carried out. With this new affair, Soviet espionage again reveals the multiplicity of its "cover" activities, and shows that it does not hesitate to utilize all the machinery of the Soviet Union, but in the USSR and in Soviet enterprises a- broad. Thus, another of its covers has been unmasked. There have been other cases where a Communist "private" enterprise was serving as a cover for in- telligence agents. Notably, there was the case of Aeroflot in 1967. The many-armed structure of the Soviets' specialized organizations in- volved in espionage covers many areas: diplomacy, the press, tourism, scientific exchanges, and even commerce.

The petition was drafted two days ago and it was not known whether the text had actually been sent out of the Soviet Union. The dissidents made it available to Western corre- spondents apparently in the hope of reaching the United Nations through Western news- papers. The petition said the recent! arrests have compelled us to think that Soviet punitive organs have decided finally tol bar the activity of people pro-; testing against arbitrariness in Tour country." Coincident with the petition, it was also learned today that Ilya Burmistrovich, a 31-year- old mathematician, was sen- tenced yesterday by a Moscow court to three years in prison for circulating typescripts of works of the imprisoned au- thors Andrei D. Sinyavsky and Yuli M. Daniel to some friends. He was arrested on April 16, 1968, and spent more than a) year in jail before his one-day trial. He was convicted under Ar ( titles 190 and 191 of the Rus- sian Federation criminal code against the spreading of anti- ;Soviet slander. Earlier this week, Ilya Gabai, n teacher of the Russian lan guage, was arrested, and docti~ 1. tents putting forth the case of Crimean Tatars were seized. with him. I 'On Satlin's orders the Crime- an Tatars were expelled from their' homeland during World 'War II on charges of collabora- tion with the Germans.

ARE SAID TO CLASHi Fighting on Central Asian Border Is Reported MOSCOW, May 10 (UPI)-` Well informed sources said to. day that Soviet and Chinese troops clashed in "serious bor- der incidents" in Central Asia several times this week. They said these incidents oc- curred on the border separating Soviet Kazakhstan and China's Sinkiang region. Both sides suffered casualties, tr ese sources said. There was no official confir- mation of the incidents. The Soviet Union is conducting mil itary maneuvers along the Si- berian and Far Eastern stretches of its border with China. At least 50 Russian troops' were killed in border incidents: ..on the Ussuri River in the Far East on March 2 and March 15. Sources said the border in Central Asia has been "very. tense" for scevral ? weeks. There were persistent reports that the border situation be-. tween Sinkiang and Kazakstan has been tense. .since' thb early stages of :the Chinese-Soviet ,dispute. Pravda, the. Communist party newspaperY :.recently disclosed that more than 200 persons weer killed when; they tried to cross from China to the Soviet Union in::'May, 1962. First Ship This Year MOSCOW May 10 (Reuters) -a Soviet ship has started up the Ussuri' River on a voyage that will take it near the scene Of border clashes between China dlid the Soviet Union in March. A' Moscow radio correspond- ent in Khabarovsk reported that the Ship had set out from there on the first voyage of the year up the border river. The ship is heading for Iman, the nearest large town to the scene of the clashes. . . The River was frozen and i covered with ::now at the time) of the border battles in March. It was reported clear of ice at the end of April.

Aleksey Belyakov, the chief of the Scandinavian on of the CPSU, has been leading the negotiations with representatives of the different camps of the FCP since last Monday. He has recommended to chairman Aarne Saarinen, former Secretary General Ville Pessi, and one of the opposition leaders, Taisto Sinisalo - who have visited the Soviet Embassy in Helsinki -;the arranging of an extraordinary FCP party congress. The Extraordinary congress would renew the central committee of the FCP in such a way that.. the internal opposition would abandon its plans to found a new communist party, he has suggested. Belyakov, who landed in Helsinki on Monday unnoticed, is accompanied by Pravda's writer Stefan Smirnov - signature "Observer" - and by World Peace Council Secretary Nikolay Voshinin. Aarne Saarinen was immediately called to the Soviet Embassy, where the CPSU representatives are staying, and where he heard the greetings of the CPSU leadership. The previously presented demand of the CPSU, that a split of the opposition's plans to.found a new communist party but also the demands of the supporters of the party's present policy for a party purge. were condemned. As far as is known, the big district organization meeting of next weekend arranged by those who walked out of the 15th Party Congress of the FCP was merely touched on at the meeting; the CPSU representatived did not demand .a cancellation of the meeting. Ville Pessi, formerly Secretary General and presently secretary for International Affairs pf the FCP, arrived at the Soviet Embassy on Tuesday !at noon-time. The CPSU representatives announced that they trust him in a ,mediating role. It was noted in the disscussions that the internal situation in the FCP has led to a blind'alley. One can get out of this dilemma only by the friendly assistance of fraternal parties and by the different FCP camps desire for reconciliation. Belyakov, who before and during the FCP congress tried to bring the FCP's ranks into order, suggested as a possibility that the central committee call together an extraordinary party congress. A compromise proposal, according to which opposition representatives would also be elected to the central committee, would be prepared and accepted by the party's membership before the extraordinary congress. According to the FCP's by-laws,. an extraordinary congress can be con- voked in two weeks. The delegates of the ordinary congress would be .delegates to the extraordinary congress too; in this case, it would be the same delegates as those-who were at the 15th party congress during Easter holidays. One obstacle,however, is the fact that the FCP's by-laws prescribe that the central committee is elected by a regular party congress. Party organization technicians, however, have discovered a way around this: The by-laws say nothing about long the mandate of the central committee is. The by-laws say that "the mandate of the central.committee lasts until a new central coFommittee's members could be persuaded to abandon their seats volunta- A~Yihsrtpsii"bi=0i~ffe'rplos-sibil7Ey wo J" beYgo-c~iange the pes of arty's CPYRGHT MPPI by-laws by a two-thirds majority and then to elect a new leadership. This procedure would, however, take three months. Sinisalo is planned as the leader of a new party Some members of the FCP leadership and certain opposition circles are, however, doubtful about holding an extraordinary party congress. It is assumed that the majority is sharply against compromise proposals. The communists, on the other hand, are waiting for the results of the Stalinist meeting. The Stalinist group which meets on Saturday in Helsinki and on Sunday in Uusimaa might even decide to found a new communist party. Strong groups in the FCP's district organizations of Turku, Uusimaa, Kymenlaakso, south Karelia, Lahti,~and Kuopio are leaning in this direction. Smaller groups have been gathered to support this effort from other district organiz- ations as well; the pensioners in particular have been a welcome power reserv for the FCP opposition in the struggle for power. However, it is surmised within the FCP that the opposition will not, at least at this stage, found a new party. It is assumed that the opposition will stake everything on one card: All or nothing. The opposition has prepared a "Shadow" program. Adoption of this pro- gram would probably lead to the dismissal of some of the opposition leaders from their posts. In such a case, it would be easier to explain the founding of a new party to the membership and the fraternal parties. The opposition group also contains some extreme elements who are of the opinion that the founding of a new communist party cannot be avoided. It has even been planned in some district, organizations that Taisto Sinisalo would become the chairman of the new party. Among the names suggested for the new party are "Finnish communist workers party" or "Finnish workers' communist party." The Opposition Rejected a Proposal on Reconciliation About 2,000 communists from all over the country have been mobilized for the meeting of the opposition on Sunday. Bus-loads of people will come from districts which are loyal to the party leadership. E.G. a bus-load of pensioners from northern Finland will come to Helsinki to approve the resol- utions of the opposition meeting and to become acquainted with Helsinki at the same time. Only dyed-in-the-wool Stalinists have received an invitation to the opposition's meeting. Access to the meeting for persons who support the party's line has been sharply refused. Negotiations about a reconciliation between the different camps of the FCP are being held today. Representatives of the party leadership and the opposition are meeting in Helsinki. They will deal with a conciliatory proposal presented by the official party leadership; the proposal has been rejected by the opposition. The opposition is expected to present its own demands today. -0 Approved For Release 2000/08/29 : CIA-RDP79-01194A000500100001-0 2 Ed W i i t !r .Q~0~L:Me d lRP,P MO fli3 M CPYRGHT Positions in Opposition Districts ooe0001-0 The information that some of the districts in which the Opposition is in. control have softened their position and are ready to negotiate comes as a surprise if we recall the demand made in the Opposition congress that it be recognized as a faction and that negotiations be held with a 95-member committee of its own choosing. Thus it now seems that the Opposition is not, after all, standing "as solid as granite" as it vowed as late as a couple weeks ago. Thus it seems to be a matter of the regular party leadership, which was stymied on party regulations, winning the opening round on the procedural matter. If certain Opposition districts have in fact softened their position, it means the strengthening of the "third line" on the example of the Tampere District. The decisive, behind-the-scenes factor in this kind of change is the negative attitude of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union (CPSU) con- cerning the establishment of a second Finnish Communist party. Nevertheless, it is not a matter of the whole Opposition going tame. One sign of this is the fact that the Opposition is establishing parallel organiza- tions in districts that are under the control of the regular party leadership. This means that the Opposition itself is breaking up into two parts: "a third line," whose idea is to stay within the regular party, and the "irreconcilables" who are driving toward the establishment of their own party. Or else the party is sitting on two stools: in opening the door to reconciliation just a crack, they are not closing the door that leads to a party split. In undertaking to negotiate district by district, the Opposition stays within the bounds of party regulations and in that way saves its face before the CPSU. At the same time, it saves its face in its own eyes in that negotiators in the districts can at the same time be members of the afore- mentioned negotiating committee of the Opposition as a whole. If no agreement is reached in the negotiations, the Opposition can still claim to have followed party regulations, but at the same time it will have a ready-made party organization. ppositioplirien asenne Jos eraat oppositiopiirit oust to. lohkeamassa kahteen osaan, puo- Tiedat ainakin erai~ien Skp:n lueen sisalla pysymiscen tahtaa- oppositio iirien Bella lieventaneet asenteitaaxt, p pehmenneista vaan "kolmantcen linjaan" ja asenteista ja neuvotteluvalmiu. morkitsee se Tampereen piirin esl- Oman puolueen perustamiseea pyr= desta ovate yl19tt9via, jos palau.te- merkin mukaisen "kolmannen, lin- kiviin "leppymti.ttomiin".

OF EAST GERMANY 1. May 1969 can be. entered on political calendars as the month during which East Germany's Walter Ulbricht thought the pendulum was swinging his way. Official diplomatic recognition granted East-Germany by three non- Communist governments -- Iraq, Cambodia and the Sudan -- has given Ulbricht the entree he thinks he needs to gain broad acceptance of the concept of "GDR sovereignty" in: time to. celebrate his regime's 20th anniversary in October of this year. 2. Our aim is to get our assets and mass media tapped into a concerted propaganda effort to clarify for Third World audiences, and to remind Third World leaders about, the oft-repeated but apparently forgotten fact-of-life concerning Germany and the underlying reason why the pendulum does not swing in Ulbricht's favor: "East Germany" is a temporary, artificial structure whose survival depends mainly on the continuing presence of 20 Soviet Army divisions and, further, that diplomatic recognition of this government does entail a choice between East and West. Third World leaders, even the more radical ones, might well be reluctant to undertake action that would antago- nize Bonn, which in both short and long-range-terms offers greater economic advantages than does Pankow. 3. To accomplish our aim, the following themes are among many which could be embellished in terms of local conditions. Support material from which to draw is found in the attached unclassified backgrounder and samp- ling of current newspaper clips. a. Iraqi, Cambodian and Sudanese diplomatic accords with East Germany represent acts based on emotion, not logic, and were payoffs for services rendered. They were also clearly the result of heavy Soviet pressures. b. Ulbricht gratuitously buttressed the case for non- recognition by his ostentatious May Day military parades and boast of "20 years of socialist military policy." c. The paucity of what East Germany can offer the Third World in terms of trade and aid, particularly in comparison with what West Germany. offers, should not be ignored.

TT (TTT V June 1969 As a May Day rememberance for 1969, Walter Ulbricht's East German regime was rewarded with a long sought-after prize: cognizance by some non-Communist states of the German Democratic Republic's official exist- ence. Plans to grant diplomatic recognition to East Germany were announced on 30 April by the Government of Iraq and, eight days later, by the Government of Cambodia. At his first press conference held after the 25 May military coup which brought him to power, Sudan's new Premier Awadallah announced his government's intention to emulate Iraq. Ulbricht has long been convinced that just one non-Communist commit- ment would start a chain reaction throughout the Arab, African., and Asian worlds inspiring country after country to scramble onto a bandwagon labeled "GDR sovereignty." The East German regime already is recognized in all but name by many Third World countries through reciprocal trade missions or full-blown consulates. Now it is Ulbricht's ambition that these relationships be dignified by the highest sounding title in time for the East German 20th anniversary celebrations in October 1969 and presumably he believes that recognition thrice in a month will give his scheme the impetus it badly needs. Stepped up efforts to gain official status throughout the Third World can be expected within the next few weeks despite two great stumbling blocks, one military and the other economic, both of which portend a miscarriage of Ulbricht's ambition. May Day Rememberances The Iraqi, Cambodian, and Sudanese diplomatic acceptances of East Germany are matters of vested interest -- born not out of respect for "GDR sovereignty" but out of need to pay for past and probably promised future East German support on ticklish national or international issues. Of at least equal importance is the intense pressure the Soviet Union has exerted on these countries on behalf of East Germany, the leverage for which comes from years of intense cultivation and considerable economic and military aid programs. Iraq, for instance, received advanced-type Soviet MIG fighters well before Egypt. Moscow certainly has a very active interest in securing legitimization outside of the Communist Bloc for the "state" it created in East Germany. East German backing for almost every Arab cause sometimes exceeds even Moscow's pro-Arab endorsements -- particularly with regard to the Palestinian Arabs. The Iraqis specifically cited East German "support for the Palestinian peoples' just struggle to liberate their usurped homelands" as a reason for bestowing diplomatic recognition. On 23 April the East German Foreign Ministry issued a statement supporting Iraq in Approved For Release 2000/08/29 : CIA-RDP79-01194A000500100001-0 _A.nnrnven Release 2000/08/29 : CIA-RDP79-01194A000500100001-0 its border dispute with Iran (over Shatt-al-Arab), something the USSR has failed to do, and described Iran's actions as "imperialist provoca- tions." Iraqi gratitude was reflected in Radio Baghdad's statement that,East Germany's "noble attitude toward our national issues" was just another reason for extending recognition.. Cambodia's diplomatic obeisance is another sign of extreme national sensitivity about the lack of world acknowledgment of Cambodian borders. Statements issued in both Pankow and Phnom Penh suggest that the new diplomatic ties are a belated reward to East Germany for her long- standing recognition of the border delineations most acceptable to Cambodia. On 5 May, Sheikh Ali Abdel Rahman, Sudan's leftist Foreign Minister and Deputy Premier, held a press conference at which he said he had recommended to the Sudanese Cabinet that Sudan follow in Iraq's footsteps in recognizing the German Democratic Republic because it was a "friendly country with honorable attitudes toward Arab causes." At that time, the suggestion was intepreted as designed to counteract a movement in the Sudanese Constituent Assembly to reestablish relations with West Germany and the U.S.A. However, the 25 May military coup which overthrew President Ismail el Azhari also thrust radicalism into a much more powerful position in Sudan. The new Prime Minister Babiker Awadalla held his first press conference two days later and announced that his government's first act of foreign policy would be to recognize East Germany because of "the East Berlin regime's opposition to Israel." A May Day Blunder While Moscow and all the other members of the Warsaw Pact this year eschewed their annual spring show of military prowess, Walter Ulbricht celebrated the day with loud and, enthusiastic saber-rattling throughout East Germany. Speeches by military leaders and four parades featuring missiles, tanks, and heavy artillery marked May Day in East Berlin as dedicated to "20 years of socialist military policy." This is the facet of Walter Ulbricht that must be understood by anyone toying with the acceptance of "GDR sovereignty': he remains the ever-ready hangman and executor for the Warsaw Pact, for the Brezhnev Doctrine -- the true "Stalinist" of Central Europe. May Day 1969 in East Berlin rekindled mew-cries of 21 August 1968 when Ulbricht's troops, mercenaries of the Soviet Union, were among those forces that moved into and occupied the sovereign state of Czechoslovakia. Warsaw Pact utilization of German troops, permitting them to march into a neighboring country, above all one previously occupied by Nazi Germany, was a flagrant violation of the Potsdam Agree- ment. Even the USSR, in August 1968, soon saw the grave error of sanctioning GDR military presence in occupied Czechoslovakia: all the wind went out of Soviet propaganda which was trying to portray the West Germans as the "aggressors plotting invasion."

The False Image The economic stumbling block, also of Ulbricht's personal making since it is the system he imposes which causes the troubles, is equally insurmountable. Facts belie the image of an attractive trading partner which Ulbricht promotes throughout the Third World. However anxious East Germany may be to win political support, the fact remains that this regime has little to offer in economic terms to the Third World, particularly in comparison with West Germany. Jeune Afrique (Paris, 31 March - 6 April 1969) gives details of exports from Western countries to the Near East during 1967, showing that after the United States and Britain, West Germany was the third leading supplier of these countries, with almost twice as much, by value, as Italy and more than twice as much as France. West Germany was the second largest exporter to Iraq and also to the UAR (the value,was U.S. $54,800,000) despite the break in diplomatic relations with West Germany by both countries in 1965. By contrast, the East German-UAR trade protocol for 1969, which represents an increase of 25 percent over 1968, allows for a total-volume of exchanges of only about U.S. $8,500,000. Le Moniteur Africain (Dakar, 3 April 1969) describes the recent growth of West German trade with African countries. Statistics given indicate the African continent as a whole has a very healthy balance of trade with West Germany -- a positive factor for Africa. Overall, 7.52 percent of West German imports come from Africa and that continent in turn absorbs 4.62 percent of West German exports.

Members were requested to std these drafts and come prepared to discuss them at the next meeting. It was pointed out that the current situation in FECOM may be such as to render it inadvisable to implement this action at this time.. 7. The Chairman stated that some criticism has been received regarding published NIS that the dates shown on the material too greatly precede the dates of publication. In many instances this has been occasioned by the fact that D/NIS has returned material to contributors for correction and the contributors have retained the material for an undue length of time and than returned it to D/MS without bringing the contributions up to date. The consensus was that when D/NIS returns a contribution for extensive revision, Approved For Release 7A000400020029-0 Approved For Release 1999/09/01 : CIA-RDP78-O 7A000400020029-0 the contribution should be resebsdu]ad and redor and the date lips should be ehangad apl pr1-te],y, 8.
