DAILY BRIEF
I. THE COMMUNIST BLOC
Communist China: Peiping has announced an extensive
reshuffling of government officials at the deputy ministerial
level. More than 400 appointments have been announced, but
most of these are reappointments; a lesser number represent
transfers to posts of comparable authority. Only about 20 of-
L I~ ficials--some of whom may have opposed the regime's recent
25X1
policies--appear to have lost out in the shuffle. The personnel
changes and some simultaneous organizational changes appear
to have been designed principally to avoid a repetition of the
serious economic dislocations which developed last year,

Bloc Leaders' Meeting in Pei in :CA top-level meeting of
Communist loc eaders will apparently take place in Peiping
during the Chinese tenth anniversary celebrations in early Octo-
ber. When Khrushchev goes to Peiping after his American trip,
he will be accompanied or met there by "representatives" of the
bloc countries who, together with the highest Chinese officials,
will hear his report and comments on the results of the trip, ac-
cording to the Yugoslav ambassador in Prague, who received
his. Iinformat:ion from. Czech Deputy Foreign Minister Gregor.
Gregor, who was formerly Czech ambassador to Communist
China, also said that he is now busy briefing the Czech delega-
Ctlon.,which will include Antonin Novotny,, first secretary of the
Czech Communist party. In addition to the ceremonial purposes
.of the: trip, Khrushchev will probably try to iron out any exist-
ing differences between Moscow and Peiping and also seek to

Argentina: President Frondizi has requested court action
to dissolve the Communist party and to withdraw its electoral
recognition. He is particularly concerned over threats by sup-
porters of the outlawed Peronista party to back Communist can-

Communist and Peronista labor unity pact to undermine the US-

Chinese Communist Government Personnel Changes
Peiping Eras announced an extensive reshuffling of govern-
ment officials at the deputy ministerial level. More than 400
appointments have been announced, but most of these are reap-
pointments; a lesser number represent transfers- to posts of
comparable authority. Only about 20 officials--some of whom
may have opposed the regime's recent policies- -appear to have
lost out in the shuffle. There is no indication so far that these
will be subjected to further punishment.
The across-the-board reshuffle of deputy ministers, seems
to have been undertaken to improve efficiency and to strengthen
some ministries, by adding more deputies--a maneuver which
Peiping has tried periodically during the past ten years. Pei-
ping may also believe that the appointments will stimulate the
enthusiasm of officials for the regime's, policies.
The three former coordinating staff offices for heavy indus-
try and construction, light industry, and transport and commu-
nications have apparently been amalgamated. Direction of this
new body has been given Li Fu-chun and Po I-po his deputy, who
are also responsible for long-range and annual economic planning,
respectively. This, move may have been designed to avoid a repe-
tition of the serious dislocations which developed last year, and
primary responsibility for preventing this will apparently fall to
Li and Po, whose public statements have indicated general sym-
pathy with Mao's "leap forward" program of the past yearo 25X1

Prime Minister Nehru's Visit to Iran
(Preliminary press and diplomatic reports regarding
Prime Minister Nehru's recently concluded visits to Kabul
and Tehran indicate that he made no effort to settle Afghan
and Iranian problems., that he did not actively oppose CEN O,
and that he did not urge Iran to adopt a policy of neutralityT
( In both capitals Nehru made it clear in public remarks
that-India would continue its present neutral course regard-
less of occasional irritations and provocations. His attitude
toward others., however, is illustrated by his answer to a
newsman's request in Tehran that he give his opinion on the
new Central Treaty Organization. Nehru said, "I have always
lived far removed from all pacts. I don't suppose a change of
name makes it different from what it was. This is simply my
personal opinion. It is for each country to decide:' This new
restraint on Nehru's part has been evident since the Tibetan re-
volt broke out last March)
(The Shah of Iran stated that in his talks with Nehru, the
Indian prime minister did not attempt to change Iranian policy
toward the USSR or give advice of any kind. Minister of Court
Ala said that Nehru made no effort to influence the Shah in his
relations with the USSR. The Shah added that Nehru is a much-
changed man and that he is more realistic in his outlook toward
Communist countries. Nehru indicated to the Shah that aggres-
sion should be resisted)
(These preliminary reports of Nehru's visits confirm earlier
impressions that he traveled to Afghanistan and Iran primarily
to study their relations with the orbit and to acquire background
material to guide his own thinking about world problems rather
than to give advice.

Argentine President Asks Courts to Dissolve Communist Party
Charging the Communist party with subversion, Argentine
President Frondizi requested on 22 September that the courts
dissolve the party and withdraw its electoral recognition. Be-
hind this action is his concern over threats by supporters of
the outlawed Peronista party to back Communist candidates in
the March 1960 congressional elections. He is also concerned
over an intensification of strike pressure against austerity meas-
ures under the US-backed stabilization program as a result of
the labor unity pact signed by the Communists and Peronistas in
August.
The government also anticipates an increase in violence
from Communist and Peronista agitation.
The armed forces strongly endorse anti-Communist meas-
ures and. a firm policy against labor agitation. The new war
secretary has warned that the army would "come out with all
its power if foreign interests endan er the countr " through strike
action,
