Army reshuffle
An intelligence expert trained in Britain and the United States has been named as Portugal’s new Army Chief of Staff after a high command row in which two generals lost their jobs. He is General Pedro Cardoso, aged 52, at present in charge of planning a new Portuguese intelligence service. An official announcement said he would be sworn in to replace General Vasco da Rocha Vieira, aged 38, who. was dismissed last week by President Antonio Ramalho Eanes. The Army high command shake-up is seen in official circles as part, of General Eanes’ delicate efforts since he was elected President in 1976 to take the armed forces out of politics and back to barracks. —- Lisbon.
