...last week like commuting suburbanites. Day after day they rode in portly twosomes to welcome the Communist bosses of ten satellites. One afternoon, a round dozen of them wheeled out, led by rotund Nikita Khrushchev, to greet the guest of honor, China's lean, scowling chief of state, Liu Shao-chi, 62. The presence of Liu and other rulers of Communist states barred from the U.N., as well as Communist Party chieftains from all around the world, made Moscow's gathering the biggest assemblage of Communist satraps since 1957, bigger by far than the convocation of satellite bosses...
...stepped from the Soviet jetliner at Vnukovo, Chairman Liu raised his arms in salute to Chairman Khrushchev. But on the eve of Liu's departure, Peking had seized on the pretext of the publication of a fourth volume of Mao Tse-tung's selected works to print an "introduction"' by General Fu Chung, in which the general pointedly quoted old Mao dicta on war and peace and, inferentially, challenged Khrushchev's favorite doctrine of peaceful coexistence.

Last week the three went on trial in Taipei. First witness up was Secretary Liu, who did not testify as the News had promised. He admitted only that he had stayed in Nanking after the fall of the city, and had talked with the wife of former (1939-42) Nationalist Ambassador to Moscow Shao Li-tze, who subsequently defected to the Communists. He promised her that he would carry on Communist propaganda work once he reached Formosa. But he said that when he told Publisher Lei of his plans, Lei warned him that the security was too strict...
Taking the stand in his own defense, Publisher Lei-who never denied befriending Liu as a refugee-denied knowing that Liu was a Communist agent. The real issue, said Lei, was whether the government could get away with such a "smear" of honest critics. "All we wished to do is urge the government to implement peaceful reform in order to avoid bloodshed. If the charges against me can be substantiated, I need not mourn my personal fate. But I must mourn the future of my country...
