This Current Intelligence Bulletin was issued by the Central Intelligence Agency on 15 October 1955 and released in 2019. Its first item passes on a US Air Force cable. The cable says Senator Richard Russell, Lt. Col. E. U. Hathaway and Ruben Efron, travelling by train in the Transcaucasus on 4 October 1955, saw two circular flying discs take off almost vertically near Alyat Station, with searchlights nearby. The bulletin's other items cover Morocco, Yugoslav and Soviet relations and a planned Peronista strike.

TASS coannsponnsm" rmos roc§sLAvs COOL
TOWARD ussn //5
.1-
Czoagnenting on Yugoslav policies,
a TASS correspondent in Belgrade
declared that the Yugoslav attitude
toward the Soviet Union is still cool,
if not actually hostile. \
J
The correspondent said Soviet first
vice premier Mikoyan had hoped to talk "business" dur-
ing his recent visit to Yugoslavia, but the Yugoslavs were
"waiting for the arrival of US deputy under secretary
Murphy." To a suggestion that perhaps the Yugoslavs do
not care for Mikoyan, the TASS man replied, "They don't
care for anybody but themselves. They think they are a
great power ."\ \
Comment The Yugoslav government probably
feels it is now opportune to curb any
impression in Moscow that the USSR holds a privileged
position in Belgrade. Tito has recently rebuked several
Yugoslav editors for a too pro-Soviet slant taken by Yugo-
slav journalists. Presumably Belgrade has also tightened
up its official contacts with Soviet bloc press representa-
tivesi
The Yugoslavs have also recently ex-
hibited some concern over Western suspicions that Yugo-
slavia may have entered too close a relationship with the
USSR.
