PEIPING CELEBRATES SUMMIT COLLAPSE -- Moscow, Pravda, 21 May 60
The population of Peiping demonstrated its support of,, the. Soviet
Union's position and imputed shame to the Americans guilty of "torpedoeing"
the summit conference by holding a giant rally of more than v.a ?million
people. Teng Hsiao-ping, general secretary of the Central Committee,
Chinese Communist Party addressed the assembly. He asserted that aggres-
sion and provocation against the Soviet Union is aggression and provoca-
tion against the People's Republic of China and .agbinttk',the;tAentire
socialist bloc.
ASAHI `SEES MOPCOW-PEIPING REALIGNMENT ON COEXISTENCE POLICY -- Tokyo,
Asahi, 18 May 60
In a feature article, the pro-left Asahi contended that Khrushchev's
attack against the US at the Paris summit followed the line ,)Of,. tough
Leninist theory as exppunded in three articles carried in April 1960 is-
sues of Chinese Communist publications, and that a Moscow-Pegging realign-
ment has been re-established to pursue a tough policy against the US and
its allies. The Chinese Communist articles referred to are: W Chao-li's
treatise in the early April issue of Hung-ch'i (Red Flag), the Dung-ch'i
editorial (late April issue) titled "Long Live Leninism," and an article
titled "Advance Along the Course of Great Leninism" in,Jenmin Jih-pao of
22 April 1960, prepared by the editorial board of this newspaper. The
articles pointed out that (1) the policies based on Leninism are correct;
(2) the US had to agree to the Summit procedure because "the East wind
had already overwhelmed the West wind"; (3) based on Lenin's theory, pre-
cautions against the "imperialists' war provocations" should not be re-
laxed; and (4) a long period of struggle against "imperial,Lsm" is required
before peaceful coexistence becomes a reality.
[Translations of the three referenced articles were carried in the
aily Report of 4, 18, and 22 April, respectively.]

CHANGES IN EDITORIAL BOARD OF EAST GERMAN PARTY JOURNAL -- Berlin,
Einheit, April 1960
Prior to April 1960 the following composition o
oard of Einheit, the East German party journal, had remained almost
nchanged for well over a year: Hans Schaul (editor-in-chief),
lexander Abusch, Eva Altmann, Hermann Grosse, Kurt Hager, Matthaeus
lein, Herbert Kroeger, Ernst Melis, Franz Mellentin, Wolfgang Parske,
Paul Verner, Hans Wetzel, Otto Winzer, Hanna Wolf.
While a minor change was noted in the omission of Wolfgang Parske's
name in the February 1960 issue, the April 1960 issue revealed that two
candidate members of the Politburo, Kurt Hager and Paul Verner, have
been dropped, as well as Matthaeus Klein who has also been editor-in-
chief of the Deutsche Zeitschrift fuer Philosophie, and Herbert Kroeger.
The following names were added to the listing of the editorial
board in the April and May 1960 issues: Manfred BanaSchak, Georg
Neuckranz, Genia Nobel, Hannelore Ortmann, Paul Puls, Joerg Vorholzer.
FRENCH COMMUNIST THEORETICAL, JOURNAL MINIMIZES EFFECTS OF U-2, SUMMIT
FAILURE -- Paris, La Nouvelle Critique, May 60
The U-2 incident did not deter the editors of the May issue
the French Communist theoretical journal La Nouvelle Critique from ex-
pressing the hope that the issue's main theme, peaceful competition, re-
mained a valid Communist goal. Articles concerned with various facets of
peaceful competition in the journal were contributed by Jacques Arnault,
Maurice Moissonnier, F. Nicolon and A. Barjonet, Gilles Masurel, and
Pierre Villon. The issue, which went to press before disclosure of the
U-2 affair and the subsequent failure of the Summit Conference, contained
an insert with a note from the editors, dated 17 May 1960, explaining
just that and adding, "To our minds, these facts do not negate the opti-
mism with which we approached the following analysis of the conditions
and problems of peaceful coexistence. We simply ask our readers to direct
their attention beyond the vicissitudes of the moment to the determining
elements which make peaceful coexistence a necessity and a possibility in
our time."

URGES DEVELOPMENT OF HEAVY INDUSTRY IN VIETNAM -- Hanoi, Hoc Tap, Apr 1960
The April 1960 issue of Hoc Tap, monthly organ of the workers'
CCommunist:.Party, carried two statements urging that priority be given
,to the development of heavy industry. An editorial said that the main re-
sponsibility, in North Vietnam during the transition period isisocialist
industrialization, and that to build a strong and modern industrial and
agricultural structure, the stress must be placed on heavy industry. An
article by Minh Tranh (not further identified) said that if North Vietnam
is to succeed in building socialism, "we must industrialize the nation,
and if we desire industrialization, we must give priority to the develop-
ment of heavy industry."
First statements made by party leaders stressing the importance of
developing heavy rather than light industry, which represents a distinct
change in party policy, were reported in FDD Summary 2524 (Monthly Infor-
mation Report on North Vietnam, No 15).
INDUSTRIALIZATION IN TIBET -- Peiping, Jen-min Jih-pao, 24 May 60, p 6

mercial units are vigorously organizing small industrial plants in Lhasa

1,200 kinds of goods, e.g., iron spades, hoes, new-type plows, water
wheels, cotton gins, thermos bottles, wind mills, ceramics, noodles, soap,
and pasteries. Small factories of the Tibetan Military Region are manu--
facturing over 12,000 agricultural implements.

NET ANNOUNCENT PROCEDURE REVEALED BY SOVIET PATENT JOURNAL -- Moscow,
Byulletin` Izobreteniy, No 8, 1960
An innovation in the announcement of issuance of Soviet certificates
of authorship (patents) is represented by an 18-page section in the No 8
(1960) issue of the Soviet patent bulletin bearing the heading: "This
section contains reports on the issuance of certificates of authorship,
announcements concerning which were deferred at the time of issuance," A
bold-face note beneath the heading reads: "In view of the fact that more
than one year has elapsed since the registration date for these inventions,
publication at present does not provide the right of disputing issuance of
a certificate of authorship'(Article 44, Regulations Concerning Discoveries,
Inventions, and Proposals for Rationalization)."
Patent abstracts covering items and processes from ore treatment and
tanning to radio communications are presented in the usual sequence and
style, of this publication with registration dates ranging from 9 May 1939
to 6:January 1958. No reason is given or implied for the original deferral
of announcement nor is there any indication as to whether future patent
bulletin issues will carry additional items of this nature.
fcomment: This is the most recent of several idiosyncrasies noted
over the past several months in the Soviet patent bulletin. Late 1959
issues of the bulletin carried some entries giving the subject or title
of the item, its inventor or discoverer, and the pertinent certificate and
registration numbers and date, followed by a vertical arrow in the space
normally occupied by the abstract. While a definite pattern has not yet
been identified for all such entries, some of them are plainly in areas
where security considerations could apply. The 1960 issues received to date
evidence a change in this procedure in that entries are now appearing identi-
fied solely by a certificate number and the inscription "Not published."
The only hint as to the subject matter of such entries lies in the class
designation under which they appear in the bulletin)
