London newspaper (briefed June 7) that Brezhnev and Kosygin will visit Czechoalovakia this month. New that it has been announced that Dubcek's visit to Hungary will be June 13-15, these dates are out for a high-level Soviet visit to Prague. Czechoalovak unhappiness over the forthcoming maneuvers appears to be high. Indicative are not only the newspaper Pracy's criticism June 8 of the timing (briefed earlier), but also the report of a loudspeaker in Karlovy Vary (if true) trying to calm the population on this subject, as well as the demands of Czech media for more details. The news that Prague expects to conclude a renewal of its mutual assistance treaty this year with Romania accords with previous Czech statements, but it is noteworthy that the Romanians have been very slow in renotiating Warsaw fact arrangements with other countries, suggesting that Bucharest if it signs with Prague first may wish to underline its approval of developments in Czechoslovakia.
