USSR: Aleksey Kirichenko, who until recently ranked
with Mikoyan and. Kozlov as one of Khrushchev's chief lieu-
tenants in the party presidium, has been downgraded and
25X1 assigned to a provincial post. Kirichenko, a natu~r.a,l ta~geti `
in the struggle for precedence behind Khrushchev9 may have
laid himself open to demotion by differing with Khrushchev
ither over party operations or over general policy consid-
rations. His reassignment was apparently approved at last

Khrushchev Demotes Top Party Aide
Bible fo Kirichenko's rapid rise in top party circles since
19530 !n June 1959, however, Khrushchev told Governor
Harriman that Kozlov had been picked as his successor and
derided the suggestion that Kirichenko might be in the run-
ning Since then Kirichenko has not engaged in the kind of
Aleksey Kirichenko, who until a few months ago was
functioning as Khrushchev's second-in-command in the p.ar.ty
secretariat, has been demoted to the job of party chief in
Rostov Oblast, .according to a Soviet press announcement
of 13 Januaryo The assignment represents a serious rever-
sal in his political fortuneso Kirichenko's status as a full
member of the party presidium, a post he has held since
July 1:955, was not mentionedo While- Kirichenko has not
been reported involved in policy disputes, in recent months
he no longer seemed to enjoy Khrushchev's full confidenceo
Kirichenko, now 52, was a Khrushchev protege and as-
sociate for many yearsa Khrushchev was apparently respon-
substantive party activity which had previously marked him
as one of the four top Soviet leader
Factional infighting in the highest circles of the party
is most?often observed in the areas of personnel appointment
and policy decisionse There has been a rash of personnel
changes recentlyo upheavals in the leadership of several re-
publics, extensive changes in the secret police {KGB), shifts
in the central party apparatus, .and more recently, the return
of Presidium member Nikolay Ignatov to full-time work in -the
party secretariat after several months in disfavox?e Some of
these changes probably reflected :maneuvering inviolving
~Kirichenkoo
The decision to reassign Kirichenko was probably made
last month at a special secret session of .the pax?ty central
committee which was held immediately following an open
meeting devoted to agricultural problemsa A Soviet news-
paperman stated that the secret session considered impor-
tant domestic matters which would be formally approved b
the Su reme Soviet meeting beginning 14 Januarye

II. ASIA-AFRICA
Afghan-Pakistani Conversation Produces Cautious Optimism
Afghan Foreign Minister Naim's 10-12 January conversa-
tions with Pakistani President Ayub will probably lead to fur-
ther efforts by Afghanistan and Pakistan to improve their
relations. The talks, which were exploratory and informal
in nature9 appear to have been more useful thane either side
expected. It was agreed that contacts should continue in an
effort to solve "political differenceso' The government-
monitored Pakistani press has welcvrned the talks as im-
proving the prospects for better relations.
Naim's public comments on th,e talks suggest he now be-
lieves it may be possible to make progress in negotiations.-
Kabul's earlier assessment that it would be impossible to do
business with- .Ayub"s military government had been largely
responsible for the deterioration in relations.
Despite Ayub`s recent public dismissals of the Pushtoon-
istan dispute as a "phony" issue, he has apparently convinced
Naim that he is willing to consider the problem .and try to reach
an accommodation. Although the hostile propaganda exchanges
between the two countries may be moderated, a resolution of
the Pushtoonistan dispute, the major irritant in Afghan-Pak-
istani relations, is unlikely in the near future since such a
development would recuire major ad'ustments in policy and
popular attitudes,

IIIo THE WEST
Implications of Pinay's Removal from Debra Cabinet
The removal on 13 January of Finance Minister Pinayy the
most influential leader of the previous .regime remaining in the
cabinets indicates that De Gaul~,e may have decided t? subordi-.
nate Pinay's "hard money" policy to other considerations. Ap-
pointment of Bank of France Governor Wilfrid. Baumgartnerp
an able and respected technician, to replace Pinay may lessen
the risk of a loss of investor confidence in the French economy
and will also reduce the political importance of the Finance
Ministry portfolio,
Premier Debrd has been subject to growing pressures to
loosen Pinay's restrictions on consumption and economic expan-
sion and to push programs stressing social benefits. He and
other ministers drawn from the "Gaullist" Union for the New
Republic (UNR~ favor selective rises in wages and farm prices
and. have been working on plans to create a new national bank to
aid. in the reconversion of depressed areas and. ir~dustriesp to
organize agovernment-controlled. company for marketing Saharan
oil, and to implement decrees embodying De Gaulle?s earlier
proposals to give labor a voice in corporate management.
-The political implications of the crisis may be more far
reaching, Pinay represents a threat to the tTNR's attempt to
build a new political base far the present regime. Ike still has
considerable inf luence in the Independent pa.rtyy which has been
showing signs of serious disagreement with ,De Gaulle's "liberal"
offer of self-determination to Algeria, his highhanded. treatment
of parliament, and his apparent downgrading of NATO and the
Western alliance.
Pinay?s withdrawal may widen the rift between the Independ-
ents and the UNR, The situation will be further strained if other
Independents in the cabinet, notably .Minister of Agriculture
Henri Rochereau and Secretary of Stste for Foreign Economic
Affairs Max Flechetq also leave9 especially if they are replaced
by "technicians' as opposed to political figures.
