...whose leaders were happy to turn a political profit. No sooner had the tank-and-jet performance completed last week's "Pakistan Day" celebrations than the Chinese collected the first installment of Ayub's debt. Into Rawalpindi flew Red Chinese President Liu Shao-chi and Foreign Minister Chen Yi for five days of talks and ceremonies. They were swept through Rawalpindi in a bubble-topped yellow Daimler amid flower-throwing crowds that accorded the Chinese the warmest welcome since Sheik Abdullah, "the Lion of Kashmir," visited two years...
...third is Chen P'an-t'ing, deputy squad leader of the Machine Gun Company. In September, after returning from a visit to his family, he showed some dissatisfaction with the grain situation, and said: "Some people are saying in China there once appeared a Sun Yat-sen and the grain was piled sky-high."

Thailand's infant but active guerrilla war falls into the familiar pattern of Communist subversion in Southeast Asia, and has disturbing similarities to the beginning of the war in Viet Nam.

Last year the Nationalist bank reported earnings of $3,200,000, its biggest profit-and $2,300,000 of that came from overseas operations...
...held only semivisible posts in the Nationalist government. These assignments, together with his envy-inspiring parentage, forced him to operate backstage and left his position in the Nationalist hierarchy somewhat uncertain. He emerged from the shadows only this year, at age 56, to become Defense Minister. When Vice President Chen Cheng died in March, any doubts that Chiang would succeed his father as Nationalist China's chief vanished. Another enigmatic element in Chiang's career is the twelve years he spent in the Soviet Union (1925-37). Accounts of his last ten years there, when Stalin was feuding...
