Chinese policy changes ‘a great leap westward’ WASHINGTON (UPI) - One administration official Monday described the changes in China’s policies and leadership as “a great leap westward” — a shift that is both important and risky. Doak Barnett, a China expert with the Brookings Institution, described the change as “consolidating, the important changes begun in 1978, when the Chinese made the decision to move to market socialism.” Fhe switch, said Barnett, also involves a_ skillful generational transition in Chinese leadership, a process that was put into action by Deng Ziaoping, one of the vice premiers resigning his government post while keeping his party position. “Deng is giving up the driver’s seat to become a backseat driver, but he will still have the authority to determine where the vehicle is going,” an administration official said. According to. several experts interviewed by United Press International following the resignations of Premier Hua Guofeng and seven vice premiers, the Cancer can be e. cured - Soviet specialist MOSCOW (UPI) - Soviet ,cancer researchers said last week they are convinced there is a cure for cancer but their work is being hindered by quacks pushing fake remedies from sperm therapy to biofields. The newspaper carmed an interview with three leading oncologists who said they have con- trolled the incidence of cancer in Soviet men and reduced the rate in women. “Can cancer be cured? the answer to this question now ws yes,” Pravda quoted the doctors as saying. “Scanty knowledge of the origin of the discase will not deter us from successfully checking its progress. * Recent years have witnessed a rapid development of immunotherapy, which is a combination of techniques designed (o increase cancer resistance in the human body ” The specialists said as a result of @xtensive use of cancer-fighting techniques, the incidence of cancer in men has been held at the same level for 10 years and Pravda female cancer tates have decreased “There would) be more Progress in combating cancer if patients had failed to consult cancer specialists in time and had not tried to get treatment ouside of science” the doctors said “Qne can recall dozens of remedies promising instant and miraculous relicf,” Uney said Dol changes represent a con- solidation of the Chinese decision to reject the Soviet style of communism and move toward a pragmatic kind of socialism. The experts agreed this will require extensive help from the West in general and the United States in par- ticular. . Arthur Rosen, president of the Committee on U.S.- China Relations, predicted China’s relations with the United States will broaden “as they (Chinese techno- crats) seek equipment and technology.” One administration of- ficial said the Chinese decision to follow the path of pragmatic socialism “could be called a_ great leap westward. It is fraught with dangers because of the philosophic changes that will be required.” “The Chinese will have to drop some of their price controls in order to provide economic incentives. China will be faced with inflation, extensive contact and in- fluence from foreigners and with abandoning the concept of egalitarianism.” Bombers given landing right (UPI) - American B-52 bombers will be allowed to land in Australia after extended flights over the Indian Ocean, Defense Minister Jim Killen told Parliament today. “I am in a position to confirm that the United ment to the staging of these aircraft through Australia for extended - States government has _ flights into the Indian sought the agreement of .
