Peking, East Berlin At Odds Over Fair
(N.Z.P.A. Reuter—Copyright) EAST BERLIN, September 11. China has accused East Germany of trying to torpedo friendship between the Chinese and East German people by closing China’s exhibition at the Leipzig fair.
A Chinese statement, issued in East Berlin, protested “most sharply,” saying the Chinese stand in the fair’s book exhibition had been ordered to close last Sunday. Reports from Leipzig at the time said the stand displayed books by Mao Tse-Tung and Chinese exhibitors had distributed anti-Russian leaflets. Today’s 400-word statement said the Chinese exhibitors had met “various and wilfully prepared difficulties” from the fair authorities since accepting an invitation to participate. East German customs had at first not allowed exhibits to be unpacked. Then they were barred from the exhibition. The Chinese said they had been prevented from displaying their Communist Party newspaper, “People’s Daily,” and the “Peking Review.” Some exhibits had been taken away before the fair opened.
“No Move North”.— General Maxwell Taylor, former United States Ambassador in Saigon, has said he does not expect American troops to be sent into North Vietnam. —Tokyo, September 11.
