Rumania, which had attended the 9 June Moscow summit of 7 European Communist states on the Arab-Israeli conflict but refused to sign the joint statement blaming Israel and which refused to join them in break- ing relations with Israel, does not participate in and publicly ignores an 11-12 July follow-up meeting of the others in Budapest. (Meanwhile, large Soviet deliveries of military hardware to the Arab states since the June debacle went far toward replacing the material lost.) In the in- terim, Moscow announced (7 July) that its Marshal Yakubovsky is the new Warsaw Pact military commander, after the post had remained vacant 3 months following Marshal Grechko's accession to the deceased Malinovsky's job as Soviet Defense Minister: it has been reported that the delay was due largely to Rumanian and Polish proposals that the post be rotated among Pact members. By 15 July, correspondents in Moscow and The Hague (where a Rumanian delegation made a 5-day visit) report rumors that Rumania plans to announce a phased withdrawal from the WP at its next parliamentary session. Also, on 5 July Rumanian Premier was reported holding secret talks with Chinese leaders in Peking, although there has not been any acknowledgment of his visit thus far. 2. Cuba: bars Yugoslav participation in the forthcoming LASO confer- ence; becomes the first country to designate an ambassador to the NFLSV (its ambassador accredited to Cambodia is the man and carries its first media attack on the Colombian CP (in a 21 June PRENSA LATINA summary of an article from the Mexican journal SUCESOS, based on author Rodriguez' visit with the Castroite Colombian ELN). 3. An 11 July Soviet announcement that CC Secretary Shelepin had been downgraded to succeed Grishin as Trade Union boss -- following the ouster in June of Moscow Party chief Yegorychev, whom Grishin replaced, and in May of security police chief Semichastny -- brings press speculation by Kremlinologists on a widenin s lit in the hierarch between the hard-liners and the moderates or the "hawks" and the doves"), with these three removals signifying further strengthening of control by the moderates. ~+. There was no apparent change in the chaotic churning of Mao's "cul- tural revolution" in China. A 1 July RED FLAG editorial on the 1+6th anniversary of the CCP draws attention in its claim that the acknowledged leader of the opposition, Liu Shao-chi ("the top party person taking the capitalist road") had been "exposed and overthrown," -- but it appears that this did not refer to any specific development and that Liu still holds his position as nominal chief of state. The ChiComs further complete their international isolation as Red Guard arrogance among Chinese students in Rangoon precipitates Burmese clashes, demon- strations, and anti-Chinese riots, -- to which Peking retaliates with (Cont.)

Similar violence on a smaller scale is precipitated by ChiCom propaganda activ- ities in Nepal. The c1PSh with tYie formerly friendly Burmese Govez?nment brings a major blow to Chinese propaganda capabilities as the pro-Peking Communist daily LUDU in Mandalay -- the leading newsp~s.per in mid-Burma, with an estimated circulation of 8,000, anal the sourcf~ of mar.~y items which. the Peking press has replayed to show "Burmese .support'" for t;he Maoist line -- was closed down 8 ~TUly by govt refusal to renerw its publication permit. 5. While Chinese and Soviet media continue to carry ]wavy rercrimir.~a- tions, PRAVDA on 19 July carries the most detailed account yet of border incidents between the two in a report by senior writer Simor.~ov following a trip along the Amur River border. 6. The Soviet-urged call for a world CP meeting is again endorsed in a joint communique covering a ~+-10 July visit of a French CP delegati.on in Prague.

With the 1 July expansion of programming in Radio Peace:and~Progress transmissions in Hebrew/Yiddish, the total weekly broadcast time of "Radio Peace and Progress" has now reached 92 hours. The transmissions continue to be heard in eight languages. Creole; English, French, Hebrew, Mandarin, Portuguese, Spanish, and Yiddish. The inception of Radio Peace and Progress was announced by TASS in July 196+. The station was first intercepted on 1 November 196+ in a half-hour program in Spanish, repeated the same evening, with both transmissions announced for Latin America. These programs were broad- cast on frequencies formerly used to transmit a Spanish-language broadcast of the .official Radio Moscow. On 16 April 1965 Radio Peace and Progress inaugurated broadcasts in Portuguese, beamed to Brazil for a half-hour daily. This program also replaced a Radio Moscow Portuguese-language program. After continuing without program or transmission changes for 18 months, Radio Peace and Progress instituted five new services on 10 November 1966 -- in French for Central America, Asia, and Africa and in English for Asia and Africa. The new Peace and Progress programs in French i'or Central America and for Asia replaced Radio Moscow programs for those audiences. But the new transmissions in French to Africa did not displace existing Radio Moscow broadcasts, and only one of the new English-language transmissions (to Africa) displaced a Radio Moscow program: Radio Peace and Progress inaugurated daily broadcasts in Mandarin on 1 March this year -- an original 30-minute program repeated three times. Three of the four transmissions displaced Radio Moscow Mandarin- language programs. A succession of increases in the Mandarin broadcasts by Radio Peace and Progress has brought the total to 15 daily 30-minute programs. Comprising two original programs and a total of 13 repeat transmissions. Observations after 10 July showed the latest increase in Radio Peace and Progress programs in Mandarin was exactly counterbalanced by a reduction in Radio Moscow's Mandarin-language transmissions, with no cont.

Thus the USSR's total time on the air in Mandarin -- via Radio Moscow and Radio Peace and Progress, taken together -- remains 182 hours a week. Apart from 10.5 hours a week over Radio Moscow in. Mandarin to Southeast Asia, all of these broadcasts are for listeners in China. The Radio Peace and Progress broadcasts, totaling 52.5 hours a week, now const i tute nearly one-third of the USSR's output to China, illustrating the trend toward increasing use of this self--styled unofficial radio channel.

Invariably, at the same time the Communists themselves were committing crimes of equal or greater gravity threatening vast groups of humanity. On 27 November 19+1 Soviet Foreign Minister V.M. Molotov sent a note to all governments with which the USSR had diplomatic relations calling their attention to the "systematic brutalities and atrocities inflicted by the German Government on Red Army men and commanders who are prisoners of war ... exposing the German military authorites and the German Govern- ment as a gang of cut-throats who ignore all principles of international law and human morality." Subsequent Soviet statements called attention to crimes against the civilian population in German-occupied territories, where laborers were deported to Germany to support the war machine. The Nazis were certainly guilty of such crimes -- but what about the Soviet slaughter of thousands of Polish officers in the Katyn Forest and the forcible deportation of East German workers and their families to the USSR the same week that the Nazi leaders were hanged for the crimes for which they had been convicted at the Nuremberg Tribunal? World War II provides many examples of how the Communists cynically used the subject of war crimes for their own propaganda purposes. The Moscow Declaration of 1 November 19+3 -- signed by the USSR, the United States, and the United Kingdom -- referred to "the major criminals whose offenses have no particular geographical localizations and who will be punished by the ,joint decision of the governments of the allies." These criminals, under the terms of the Moscow Declaration, would be tried by the laws and courts of liberated countries in which the crimes were committed. Typical of Communist utilization of membership on internation- al bodies to glean sensitive information and then publicize it in their own propaganda was the case of Dr. B. Ecer, the Czechoslovak representa- tive to the United Nations War Crimes Commission, who gave an unauthorized and controversial interview to the LONDON SUNDAY EXPRESS on 11 February 19+5. Dr. Ecer selected those findings of the U.N. Commission, which had not been made public at the time, which conformed with the statements already made by Prof. Trainin, leading member of the Soviet Commission for the Investigation of German Crimes, statements regarded by world experts as the best expression of the Communist point of view on the sub~j ect .'~ ~ Trainin's statements are contained in his book, The Criminal Responsibility of the Hitlerites, published in Moscow in 19 1+.

In January 19+6 the non-Communist press reported the existence of a document allegedly written by the son of Japanese war criminal. Konoye disclosing details of a Japanese-Russian agreement to divide u.p Asia between them. In order to prevent the disclosure of this document or of any other evidence concerning the Matsuoka mission to Moscow in.7.9~+1 and the resulting Soviet-Japanese neutrality pact, material which might impli- cate the Communists in prior agreement with the "wron.g" side, the Soviets insisted that their prosecutor or his deputy be present at a:11 war crime tria:L sessions. All this, of course, is past history, but similn.r tactics were followed by the Communists during the Korean war and continue today. For example, in his speech at the U.N. General Assembly on 19 June 1967 SoviE>t Premier Kosygin charged the Israelis with committing "'atroc:ities and violence" in the Arab territories they had seized. By charging Israel with war crimes and aggression, many observers felt Kosygin was trying to draw attention away from the Communists' current p_roblem;a with the Arabs who were questioning the inadequate support and faulty equip- ment which the Soviets had supplied them. But there is no question about one kind of equipment wh=Cch the Communists are supplying to one Arab country to commit war crimes against another Arab country: On 2 June 1967 the International Committee of the Red Cross issued a statement in Geneva confirming earlier rE_ports of regular use of poison gas by United Arab Republic forces against; Arab inhabitants of Yemen. Although a number of papers around the world expressed their revulsion at this war crime -- the JAPAN TIMES comment of 25 June 1967 on the USSR's supply of all kinds of arms to the Mide~~,st was headlined "Lethal Soviet Weapon Tested in Battles Against Yemen" and an editorial in the SUNDAY NATION of Nairobi on the same date observed that "the gas bomb cannisters dropped from Egyptian planes bore markings in Russian" -- nevertheless Communist propagandists could console themselves with the fact that their work had not beery in vain: in many county?ies of the Free World the story of the gas atrocities in Yemen went unreported while' at the same time the press was repeating unfoun3ed charges that poison gas had been used against communist terrorists in Vietnam. ~' Typical of the continual change in Communist foreig:Z policy and accompanying war propaganda was the fact that in Mary 19+8 the USSR was one of the first countries to recognize the new state of Israel. When the Arab League subsequently invaded Israel the Soviet foreign policy journal, NEW TIMES, accused Britain and the ~7nited ~>tates of having helped the- t'organization of the aggression of Arab countries against the state of Israel.''

One of the most vicious statements in recent times was heard on a 15 June 1967 program by "Radio Peace and Progress" -- a broadcast service purporting to be the mouth- piece of private organizations in the USSR but transmitted over the facilities of the official Moscow radio. 'This broadcast charged that even Hitlerite SS "did not go quite so far in cynicism and hypocrisy" as the American troops who allegedly, among a long list of heinous crimes, "have locked old men in caves and then made use of toxic gas and grenades to destroy the caves and exterminate the people." (Such charges are also often carried by clandestine radios and other "unoffi- cial" media controlled by the Communists; these outlets are used to spread irresponsible, inflammatory propaganda which the Commut~.sts do not want recognized by outraged audiences as emanating from official government media.) The Communists, following their long-standing pattern, are levying wild charges against their adversaries in Vietnam to draw attention away from their own crimes. One method which they have used there and elsewhere since World War II is to launch terrorist attacks with a few "activists" from a local area who have been either trained in advance in a Communist country or directed on the spot by Communist "advisers." Such criminal activities are then lauded by foreign Communist and Communist-.sympathizing media as representing the "patriotic endeavors" of "the people" against local "capitalist oppressors" or foreign "capitalist exploiters." Any subsequent sanctions imposed on the terrorists are then denounced by the worldwide Communist propaganda mill as "acts of cruel and tyrannical oppression." The terrorism of the Viet Cong in South Vietnam is an outstanding example of a perfected technique; the SAIGON POST reported on 6 May 1967 that "Viet Cong guerrilla atrocities have increased by 50 percent in the past 12 months" and that "murder, torture, intimidation, and black- mail -- known euphemistically by the Viet Cong as 'armed propaganda' -- are used to eliminate opposition." North Vietnam's persistent refusal to let prisoners be seen by the Red Cross implies treatment that needs to be concealed. Recent photographs in the press substantiate the mis- treatment. Support for activities of the Viet Cong and North Vietnamese Communists is proclaimed by all Communist nations, including Cuba. The Havana radio on 8 July 1967, for example, reported that the Cuban Committee for Solidarity With Vietnam had held a seminar to discuss a document issued by the Tricontinental Committee in Support of Vietnam. The document reportedly "urges the maximum denunciation and condemnation of the war crimes perpetrated in North and South Vietnam by the North American .imperialists." The-Cuban radio was obviously trying to call Declassified in Part - Sanitized Copy Approved for Release 2012/06/29: CIA-RDP78-03061A000400050005-9 Declassified in Part - Sanitized Copy Approved for Release 2012/06/29: CIA-RDP78-03061A000400050005-9 attention away from the many reports in the radio and press o.f the Western Hemisphere concerning Venezuelan charges. lodged in 'the Orga~.niza- tion of American States on the landing of Cuban-led guerrillas in Venezuela, also on evidence that Cuba is blatantly engaging i.n criminal activities that endanger the security of the entire continent. Cor.~di- tions in Cuban prisons also require independent invesl~igation. When the United Nations General Assembly meets in the fal]_ of 1967 it will study the "Question of the non-applicability cif statutory limita- tion to war crimes and crimes against humanity" -- an issue >_>ressed by Poland and the USSR. (The draft document on the issuE~ concerns mai.nl3r Germany.) The following reminder by the editors of tl7e SWISS PRES~i REVIEW AND NEWS REPORT in Zurich might be considered by the iJ.N. delegates; at this time; a short item in the 8 June 1967 issue entitled "Crimes of Which People No Longer Speak" states: "There was a time, not so long ago, when it was considered the duty of the press to stigmat:Lze crimes committed by Communist regimes. Timf~s have changed; they are now barely treated as miscellan- eous tid-bits. Such at least is the space currently given in the press to a report that a young man about 30, no longer able to stand the life :gin East Germany, tried to flee to West Berlin. He 1;ook a chance, but was felled by the bullets of thE~ Volkspolizei only three meters from West Berlin while running toward Sandkrug Bridge, one o:P the crossing points of the Berlin Wall." In regard to Germany, anothex? embarrassing issue is the point raised by M. Wiesenthal, director of the Center for Documeni;ai,ion of the League of Jewish Victims, who held a press conference in Vienna to discuss the role being played by Nazi war criminals in Egypt today. LE MONDE of Paris on 9 June 1967 concluded its report on this press conference: "All the revelations wh3.ch M. Wiesenthal prE~sented as duly established facts ... will perhaps be embar- rassing for the Egyptians but even more so :Po:r the regimes of East Europe, which the speaker f~^ankly reproached for showing an astonishing partit and Red Meanwhile, at taome in China there apearei to be ;tiounting pressure to br}r;g the cultural revolution to an end, albeit amid trupeir legs of victory an the grqunds that it has achieved its objective. ~ ' Beyond the high, red walls of Chungnan= Iiai, the clGSely guarded compound adjoining 'Peking`s forbidc;en city where Communist China's leaders live and' work, Critical deei?
