Approved for Release: 2020/01/23 C00260754 TOP SECRET # CENTRAL INTELLIGENCE BULLETIN 12 November 1958 # DAILY BRIEF # I. THE COMMUNIST BLOC *USSR-Berlin: Khrushchev, speaking in Moscow on 10 November on the occasion of the Soviet-Polish friendship meeting, declared that the USSR will turn over its remaining functions in Berlin under quadripartite agreements to the East German regime. If this action is carried out, the USSR will probably disclaim any responsibility for incidents arising from the presence of the Western powers in Berlin. Khrushchev's statements appear designed to strengthen the appearance of East German sovereignty and thereby undercut forthcoming West German unification proposals and block West German efforts to improve relations with the satellites, particularly Poland. Moscow may seek to exploit the threat of a renewed blockade of Berlin in its campaign to secure Western recognition of East Germany. (Page 1) Soviet missiles in East Germany: Analysis of photographs of one of two unusual Soviet military freight trains observed in East Germany in mid-October indicates that a guided-missile unit equipped with the surface-to-surface 100-nautical-mile missile (SCUD) may be present in East Germany. Each of the two trains carried large crated objects, the dimensions of which correspond almost exactly to the SCUD. The USSR has the capability of providing this missile with an atomic warhead.
