FOR THE PRESIDENT ONLY
USSR-CHINA
The Soviet Red Cross appealed to the
Chinese Red Cross on October 23 for assist-
ance in arranging a meeting with the three-
man crew of the Soviet helicopter that went
down inside China *last March. The appeal
cited humanitarian considerations.
Moscow is not known to have made any diplomatic
or other approaches to the Chinese about the heli-
copter crew since last June. The Soviet appeal may
be related to renewed speculation that the Chinese
will try the crew. Moscow would want to head off
such a trial.

NOTE
Bangladesh: Prime Minister Mujibur Rahman
requested and received on Saturday the resignation
of Finance Minister Tajuddin Ahmed. Tajuddin, an
inflexible leftist, is displeased with the program
for foreign assistance that the recently established
consortium of Western governments is developing for
Bangladesh. Mujib may have dropped Tajuddin from
the cabinet in the belief that his presence would
have made aid negotiations unnecessarily difficult.
The former finance minister may also be opposed to
Mujib's reported plan to amend the constitution
and institute a more centralized government.
