1. In mid-October the Peace Preservation Corps (PPC) on Taiwan engaged in an
investigation of a large Communist ring on Taiwan composed mostly of Chinese
from the mainland. PFC authorities suspect that the head of a section in
the Nationalist Ministry of Interior is head of this net. They expect to
arrest 600 members of the net soon.
2. By mid-October the FPC had arrested 400 Taiwanese members of a Communist net
on Taiwan headed by TSsAI Hsiao--chaien ( 4 !j).l The PFC was expecting
to arrest more Taiwanese members of this net, which was known by its members
as the Taiwan Operations Committee.
C-3 3. In mid-September HSIN Chih-wen former Nationalist Goverment
official and a native of Manchuria, was being investigated by the FPC as a
Communist suspect. Recent arrivals in Taiwan from Peiping have reported to
the FFC that HSIN, who arrived in Taiwan from Peiping in early 1951, had a
large limousine at his disposal in Peiping find that only persons in good
standing with the Chinese Communist were permitted the use of such vehicles.
IiSIN would not ordinarily be given permission to leave the mainland, since
he was well known to the Communists as a Nationalist official.
