Announcement of a long list of high officials at- tending a meeting of Afro-Asian writers on 9 July re- vealed that the party's propaganda chief Lu Ting-i has been sacked. It also showed that two new members have been added to the Secretariat, the powerful body responsible for running the day-to-day affairs of the party. One of the new members, Tao Chu, was said to be new head of the party's propaganda department. The ambitious boss of the party's Central-South Bureau, Tao had become a nationally prominent figure during the past three years. He can be expected to deal harshly with intellectuals and cultural figures in his new role. In a speech last year he defended the right of the regime to "bury the scholars alive," as China's ""first" emperor had done 2,000 years ago. Tao's recent status was in some doubt, as he was out of public view from 4 April to 2 June, a period of intense political infighting among top leaders. For a time, press and radio media under his control were out of step with the developing attacks that led to the downfall of politburo member Peng Chen publicized in early June. Tao may at first have been uncertain about the outcome, but apparently decided to back the forces behind the ouster of Peng Chen soon enough to be re- warded for his role. The other new member of the Secretariat, Yeh Chien-ying, is a senior military figure who has spec- ialized in military training activities. In the past the Secretariat has had only one military member, and that man has been the chief of staff. Yeh's appoint- 25X1 ment suggests that he has replaced Chief of Staff Lo Jui-chin on the Secretariat. 25X1 (Chart) 11 Jul 66 4 25X1 Approved or Release 2002/08/20 CIA-RDP79T00975AO 9100030001-7 j Approved Release 2002/08/20. CIA-RDP79T00975A00 100030001-7 25X1 Congo-USSR: TThe Mobutu regime may soon per- mit the reopening o the Soviet Embassy in Kinshasa (formerly Leopoldville) [The embassy was closed on Congolese orders in 196 The Soviets have not approached the Congolese directly to ask that it be reopened, but the Czech and Polish embassies in Kinshasa apparently have been putting out feelers on their behalf] Permission to re-establish a Soviet presence would be in line with Mobutu's general effort to appear less pro-Western in order to win wider support in the Congo and elsewhere in Africa. 1.1 Jul 66 5 Approved F Approved Release 2002108/20: CIA-RDP79T00975A00910 030001-7 Approved Release 2002/08/20: CIA-RDP79T00975A00910 030001-7 25X1 .NOTES 11 25X1 Malaysia: The brief but destructive attack by a small group of leftist Chinese demonstrators on the US cultural center in Kuala Lumpur yesterday is the most serious anti-American incident to date in Malay- sia. The demonstration protesting US Vietnam policy probably was sponsored by the Labor Party of Malaya, which is predominantly Chinese and the most radical of the small recognized leftist parties in Malaysia. It does not indicate a change in the generally favorable public and official attitude toward the United States. 0/1 11 Jul 66 6 25X1 Approved For Release 2002/08/20 : CIA-RDP79T00975A0 100030001-7 Approved FWWReleas - 5A009100030001-7 THE PRESIDENT The Vice President Executive Offices of the White House Special Assistants to the President The Scientific Adviser to the President The Director of the Budget The Department of State The Secretary of State The Under Secretary of State The Under Secretary of State for Political Affairs The Deputy Under Secretary of State for Political Affairs The Counselor and Chairman of the Policy Planning Council The Director of Intelligence and Research The Treasury Department The Secretary of the Treasury The Under Secretary of the Treasury The Department of Defense The Secretary of Defense The Deputy Secretary of Defense The Secretary of the Army The Secretary of the Navy The Secretary of the Air Force The Assistant Secretary of Defense (International Security Affairs) The Chairman, The Joint Chiefs of Staff Chief of Naval Operations, United States Navy Chief of Staff, United States Air Force Chief of Staff, United States Army Commandant, United States Marine Corps U.S. Rep., Military Committee and Standing Group, NATO Supreme Allied Commander, Europe Commander in Chief, Pacific Commander in Chief, Atlantic The Director, Defense Intelligence Agency The Director, The Joint Staff The Assistant Chief of Staff for Intelligence, Department of Army The Director of Naval Intelligence, Department of Navy The Assistant Chief of Staff, Intelligence, Department of the Air Force The Department of Justice The Attorney General The Federal Bureau of Investigation The Director National Aeronautics and Space Administration The Administrator The Atomic Energy Commission The Chairman The National Security Agency The Director The United States Information Agency The Director The National Indications Center The Director 25X1 Approved For Releas4 2002/08/20 : CIA-RDP79T009V5A009100030001-7 25X1 Approved Fors kiI eleaseT2&Pb89EGBE-F79T009 009100030001-7 Approved For ReleaseT2Qf1 8 F.F fT79T00975A009100030001-7
