Communist China- First accounts of a mammoth
rally in Peking on T8 -August indicate that the party
power structure has been shaken up.
Defense Minister Lin Piao appears to be number
two man in the party, replacing in this role Chief of
State Liu Shao-chin Lin, identified as Mao's "dearest
comrade in arms," was the principal speaker and was
seated in the place of honor on the left of Mao. Lin
has risen in spite of his long record of illness and
absence from public life.
Liu Shao-chi was present, but did not speak and
was eighth in Peking's list of officials present. Gen-
eral Secretary Teng Hsiao-ping also failed to take an
active part. He was sixth in the line-up and listed
below two lower ranking functionaries who are charged
with running the current "cultural revolution." Chou
En-lai apparently retains a firm grip on the number
three spot he has held for years. Chou addressed the
rally and was seated on Mao's right.
Chen Yuri, once the party's top economic special-
ist but thrust into limbo for criticizing the "leap for-
ward," may have been readmitted to the circle of
power. This was Chen's first appearance at a turnout
designed to display elite leaders since 1960.
The basis for the new line-up was probably es-
tablished during the last days of the 1-12 August cen-
tral committee plenum. Peking's accounts of the
meeting and the bland communique issued at its close
appear designed to convey the impression that major
conflicts have been resolved. The abrupt change in
the relative standing of top leaders indicates, however,
that the top party conclave--the first of its kind in four
years--was the scene of sharp debate. This was sug-
gested earlier by signs of disarray in the party press
while the meetings were in session.

officials are assuming that this will have to come through
troop cuts. Britain also will announce unilateral meas-
ures to save about $56 million annually without a troop
reduction. These measures include reducing stock levels
from a 30- to a ten-day supply.)
he annual foreign exchange cost of supporting
Britis~Tforces in Germany is now about $263 million,
just over half of which is offset by West German purchase
of British goods., As part of its new economic austerity
policy, London had earlier announced it would reduce
these forces if Bonn does not find a way to increase the

to do. British officials, however, do not expect to obtain
anything approaching full offset from the Germans. Lon-

German relations of any -troop reduction which eventually

Dominican Republic: President Balaguer re-
mains determined to initiate ambitious military
reforms prior to the departure of the Inter-Amer-
ican Peace Force, now scheduled for late Septem-
ber.
The president's program, [outlined privately
to the US Ambassador on 15 Augustj includes the
transfer to the army of the air force's significant
ground combat capability and the break-up of the
army's Fourth Brigade--the unit formerly led by,
and possibly still loyal to, exiled General Wessin.
In addition, Balaguer favors a general reduction in
military strength and changes in enlistment policy.
Balaguer feels some of these changes will re-
duce right-wing capabilities to challenge the gov-
ernment. Although expressing concern with the
danger posed by the left, he singled out extreme
rightist civilian and military elements as the ma-
jor threat to the stability of his regime. He in-
dicated some lack of confidence in the ability and,
in part, the willingness of the government's intel-
ligence service to develop information on right-
wing subversive activities.
Although Balaguer said that the military chiefs
appear to be well disposed to accept some reforms,
subordinate elements may not be as amenable.
Balaguer's desire to begin the changes before the
departure of the peace force indicates he under-
VON
stands that risk is involved.
Should Balaguer go ahead with his extensive
reforms, he may decide that retention of the peace
force beyond the present deadline is necessary. 25X1

South America.- The presidents of Chile, Colom-
bia, and Venezuela, and representatives from Ecuador
and Peru have concluded two days of talks in Bogota
with a declaration which reaffirms the importance of
Latin American economic integration.
25X1
They call for the accomplishment of economic
integration through the development of border regions,
increased means of communication, the formation of a
common payments clearing house, and eventually a
customs union. The conferees also recommend con-
sultation and cooperation between the Latin American
Free Trade Association and the Central American
Common Market and state that more international as-
sistance is needed, but with conditions softer than those
now generally prevailing.
While their declaration deals principally with eco-
nomic matters, it also calls for an end to the war in
Vietnam through peaceful means, and supports re-
strictions on nuclear weapons.
No startling new initiatives appear to have been
taken at the Bogota meeting. However, the stress on
economic integration will probably give new impetus to
the idea in other Latin American countries and become
a major issue for the meeting of hemisphere presidents
expected for December or January. I

USSR: LA probable new air-to-surface cruise
.missile carried by a TU-16 Badger medium bomber
was photographed recently over the Barents Sea.
The missile may be a replacement for the obsoles-
cent Kennel (AS-1) antiship missile, which has a
range of 55 miles and a speed of about Mach 0. 8.
It is also possible that the new missile may be used
as a long-range aviation weapon. against land targets

Jamaica: A new outbreak of violence in poverty-
stricken West Kingston has been described by the
police as the worst since late June. Over the weekend
there were at least twenty shootings and knifings. As
in the past, this activity appears politically motivated.
Numerous persons were beaten by thugs who first
questioned them on their political affiliation. General
elections are scheduled for mid-1967. Meanwhile,
more 13oliticalIV motivated violence may be expected.,
