His duties have always remained obscure and it is believed by some that he may be in charge of intelligence.

Hsinhua dispatch from Peking February 11 reported that at a rally of 100,000 persons called to condemn "the Soviet revisionist ruling clique for its bloody suppres-— sion of Chinese students returning home via Moscow," leading members of the Central Committee of the Chinese Communist party were present.
