Liu Good Organizer,
Practical Communist

TOKYO, April n (AP).-
Communist China's new presi-
dent, Liu Shao-chi, is q tall
striking man with snow white
hair, often called the theoreti-
clan Of the Chinese Communist
Party. His Book ION the Party"
is a textbook for young Com
Inunists.
Mr.. Liu, now 81, is a cold.
thin-faced, humorless man with
none Of the gruff "old soldier"
heartiness OF Chu Teh or the
suave, ingratiating charm OF
Chou En-lai.
The new Presidents name is
pronounced Lee'oo Shough-she,
with the Slough rhymlng with
pillow.
Essentially a practical man,
he is an exceptional organizer.
He invariably dresses in a
simple, unadorned uniform and
wears a workers cloth cap.
Commands Respect
He is not popular with many
of his colleagues in the Chinese
Communist hierarchy. But the
force of his dedication to Com
munism and his intellectual
achievements command their
respect.
Although there have been re-
ports that they were some
times on opposite sides Of the
theological fence, Mr.. Liu has
long been close to Mao TIE
tung and had been regarded as
one logical successor.
Mr.. Liu was a leading factor
behind the great peoples
communes" campaign which
swept over China beginning
last August.
There were some indications
by the end of the year, how
ever, that Mr.. Liu and Mr..
Mao might have differed on the
speed with which the commune
system should be pushed :.
with Mr.. Liu favoring a slow
down. Observers have Specu-
lated that if Mr.. Liu sue
ceeded to the nations presi-
dency, it would signify gain
by the "moderates" with an at
tendant loss of prestige and
standing for Mr.. Mao.
Greater Importance Seen
Under Mr.. Mao. the presi-
dency was almost entirely
ceremonial post with the con-
troll of the nations affairs
vested in the hands of the
chairman of the Communist
Party-a post Mr.. Mao still
holds.
1t is likely now that the
presidency will become a more
important Job, in keeping with
Mr.. Liu's standing.
Because of early associations
with Soviet communism. Mr..
Liu has often been viewed as
an internationalist and a lead
ing member of the Russian
clique in the Red Chinese Setup.
But Mr.. Liu is strongly nation
alistic and has been known to
criticize the Russians for not
understanding China.
He was born of poor peasant
parents in a village in Central
Human Province in 1898 and
still speaks with strong HUI
nan accent. From the village |
school he went to a middle
school" and later entered a
ochnical college in Shanghai.
Went to Moscow at %

he enrolled in a Russian Ian
guage class and Joined the
Socialist Youth Corps. a Com
munist recruiting body. A year
later he was one of eight stu
dents from the youth corps

He returned to Shanghai in
322 to begin his career as a

examinations. When the Com

Peiping hierarchy.
Tung Pi-wu, who is 70. is one
Mr.. Macs oldest friends and a
member OF the ruling Politburo.
Nine. Sun. 50. though not Of
ficially a Communist, has es-
poused the Red cause unwaver-
ingly since the Reds took over
China in l949. She is a sister
OF Nine. Chang Kai-shek. wife
OF the President of Nationalist
China.
Mr.. Chou. who is 81, gave up
"a life Of bourgeois ease 40
years ago to follow Commu-
nism. He has been Premier
since l949. Until last year he
also held the post Of foreign
minister. A handsome. vigorous
man capable Of displaying con-
siderable intelligence a n d
charm. he gained an interna-
tional reputation as a negou.
ator.
Peiping radio said the Con-
greSs members greeted the an
nouncement OF Lne nominations
with almost laundering APP
plause. Sixty-two Deputies were
named for membership on the
new congress standing COM
mittee.
Three Vital Posts
With his new appointment,
Mr.. Liu now holds three vital
posts. The other Two are vice
chairman of the Central Com
mittee Of the Communist Party
and vice chairman of the Ma
tional Defense Council.
These high positions and his
continued party connection in
dicated the presidency would
be given increased significance
under him.
The official Communist hand
book describes the duties of
chairman of the republic as
"promulgating laws and de-
creeS, appointing or removing
leading members of the state
council, vice chairmen and
members of the council of ma
tional defense. receiving and
naming ambassadors, ratifying
treaties. proclaiming general
amnesties, granting pardons
and commanding the armed
forces"
Under Rigid Control
The constitution specifics,
however, that he has to act
in concert with the standing
committee of tic PHopla's Con-
gress. Both, in turn, come
under the secret buC rigid con-
troll of the Communist Party.
Mr.. Liu is to serve a Jour-
year term.
The new president, through
what radio Peiping called a
written proposal, nominated
Chou to carry on in the pre-
miership.
Hsieh Chueh-tSai, who has
been interior minister and an
alternate member of the Com
munist Party Central Commit
tee, took Tung Pi-wu's place as
president of the Supreme Peo-
Piles Court.
Chang Ting-Cheng was re-
elected chief prosecutor of the
court.
Korean Views Recalled
Mr.. Liu gave a clue as to
what to expect from him in the
presidency when illness forced
Mr.. Mao to turn over the reins
to him temporarily in March,
1851.
Swiftly the all-powerful gov
eminent council decided to liq-
uidate the governments enc
mics instead of re-educating
them. Blood purges swept
China.

Cooperation
Held Key to
D. c. as Port

BY importing enough ''co-op-
Grafton" the District might pe
able to develop into one of the
major ports on the eastern sea-
board.
Without it, the river will
continue to flow only for sight
Seers, sailboats and an occa-
sional cupboard.
The Importance of co-opera-
ton was emphasized yesterday
by an expert on port develop
ment. DR.. Marvin L. Fair, pro-
fesSor of transportation at
American University. He spoke
before the Rivers and Harbors
Committee Of the Board of
Trade at a luncheon at the
Burlington Hotel.
DR.. Fair told the committee
that If the city is to be devel-
oped as a major part, a BIZ
State port authority should be
set up. 1t would have the
power to acquire land, bor-
row and construct. It would be
run by board of commission
ers-men who would serve
without pay.
But the whole scheme, he
pointed out, would be depend
ent on the cooperation of
Maryland and Virginia authori-
ties. And those in attendance
seemed skeptical that Maryland
authorities, with Baltimore in
the background, would ever
throw their weight behind any
plans to turn the Capital into a
thriving seaport.
DR.. Fairs remarks were de-
voted to the advantages and
disadvantages the city faces if
it is to launch an attempt to
develop the water front.
For one thing, he said, the
District is too close to Balti-
more and New York, both ma
jor ports, both interested in
keeping it that way. And, he
added, the city lacks railroad
running due west-one item the
city could lure shippers into
port with.
Another problem, DR.. Fair
thought, is that the community
just isn't businesS-minded, but
more concerned with Govern
ment.
But the city, still has advan-
tageS:
That despite the lack of that
line due west, the railroads
connecting north and south do
merge here with outstanding
freight facilities.
That, by starting out to
build a port. the city could de-
sign one which could get. the
maximum use out of truck
traffic.
That a port rere could be-
come a ''two-way" port, always
Of interest to the shipper who
wants to send in as much as
he gets out.
