The Michigan Daily-Friday, July 14, 1978-Page 7 China cuts off all aid to Albania TOKYO (AP) - China announced yesterday it was cutting off all economic and military assistance to Albania because of the tiny communist nation's "anti-China course." The Chinese said their help had amounted to about $5 billion over 24 years. Early last week, China announced it was stopping aid to its former ally and neighbor, Vietnam. Peking accused Vietnam of persecuting ethnic Chinese and cementing ties with China's major foe, the Soviet Union. China said it was also recalling Chinese economic and military experts from Albania, at one time one of China's closest friends and ideological partners. THE CHINESE said they had sent 6,000 experts to Albania over the years on numerous aid projects. The Chinese announcement was reported by the official Chinese news agency Hsinshua, monitored here. Hsinshua broadcast the full text of China's note of July 7, informing, Albania of the cutoff. A report from the Albanian offical news agency monitored in Belgrade condemned the move, calling it "unilateral and arbitrary." One Western diplomat in Belgrade, assigned to both Yugoslavia and Albania, predicted that the rift between tha two nations could lead to a complete break and an independent ideological course for Albania. THE DIPLOMAT, who declined to be named, said Albania most probably wouldn't return to the Soviet camp, sin- ce the Albanians had severed relations with the Soviet Union in 1961 and later with the Warsaw Pact to protest the Soviet invasion of Czechoslovakia. If Albania remains isolated from China, the Albanians have no alter- native but to pursue their own com- munist line, the diplomat said. Chinese-Albanian relations began to sour when China started improving its ties with non-aligned and Western nations, a move the conservative Albanians frowned upon. We delivered 1.8 million tons of food grain to you when our own food supplies were inadequate. We provided you with more than a million tons of steel products when there was not enough steel to meet our own needs. We sup- plied you with more than tractors when the level of mechanization of our agriculture is still quite low, relying as we do mainly on manpower and draught animals ... "WE PROVIDED your armed forces with new China-made tanks and inter- ceptors even before our own armed for- ces were equipped with them," the Chinese note said. It added that "the Chinese people can say with equanimity that they scrimped on food and clothing and tried their best to aid Albania in the spirit of proletarian internationalism." Albania's official ATA news agency said, "With this unilateral and ar- bitrary move, the Chinese government consciously has undertaken a step which will make difficult relations bet- ween the two countries, with the aim to harm socialist Albania and its defense abilities." Knowledgeable sources in Belgrade who monitor Albanian activities said the Chinese move would seriously af- fect some branches of Albania's economy, possibly forcing it to open trade with neighbors and some Western countries. FBI using newspeople as informers NWASHINGTON (AP)-Four individuals who work for news organizations are informers for the FBI, a bureau of- ficial said yesterday. But Edwin Sharp, head of the FBI's organized crime sec- tion, refused to say if the informers were paid by the FBI or how long they have been working for the agency. Sharp provided a partial identification of two of the in- formers Wednesday to a Senate committee looking into proposed guidelines for FBI conduct. SHARP SAID ONE of the informers was a television reporter and a second worked in the classified advertising section of a newspaper. He did not identify the other two at all. Homer Boynton, an FBI spokesman, said the FBI's policy is to accept information from representatives of the news media in criminal investigations and matters of national security. Boynton said some have been helpful in providing infor- mation on alleged white-collar crime and official corrup- tion, but he would not elaborate. BOYNTON SAID the FBI does not solicit information from members of the news media. Both Sharp and Boynton said the use of news media em- ployees did not suggest that the FBI was trying to influence editorial policy of news organizations. Boynton drew a distinction between the FBI's use of news media informanants for criminal investigations and the alleged activities of the CIA in using news media employees abroad to present CIA views. "All we want is information in the criminal filed or in matters of domestic security," Boynton said. HE ADDED THAT the motives of media representatives in giving information to the FBI were generally patriotism and good citizenship, but he said he did not know if any of the four lwho have provided information have been paid. Last March, FBI director William Webster told a House appropriations subcommittee that "the FBI operates no in- formants who are journalists ina manner so as to affect the editorial policy of practice of the medium by which they are employed." from ~ WHERELEKTRA-ATLAMM4TIMom..WARNERELEKTRA-ATLAnTc A.
