Ckin's Back rVHE thirty three year old Secrelary-General of the Malayan Communist Party, Chin Peng, who went back into the jungle on Thursday after refusing an official peace offer, has had an unvaried career. At eighteen, he was a full member of the Communist Parly; for eleven of the past fourteen years, first against the Japanese arid then against the British, he has been a guerilla. A slight young man with a limp, he seems to make an immediate impression.

Mr Spencer Chapman recalls in, Ihe Jungle Neutral lhat he found him attractive." and lhat to Mr. Richard Broome, then a Force 136 officer aod now Secretary for Chinese Affairs in Singapore, he was a reai friend." Chin Peng is a Hokkien Chinese, the second of the ten children of Ohg Seng Piew, who now runs the General Motor and Cycle Company in Gladstone-road, Penang. Elected Secretary-General in May, 1 947. he has lasted well in a party that has carried out some vicious internal purges. In all senses he is a tough character.

For three years though often sitk he was Spencer Chapman's mainstay for food and intelligence, and is a classic example of how the Asian Com- munist can live, think and plan while on the run. Debater's Holiday PAUSING to spend Christmas in London was Professor E. C. Chenoweth, one of the fifteen Professors of Speech at Indiana University, United States. His colleagues specialise in such subjects as speech science, speech correction, speech pathology, rhetoric, or one of the other sub-divisions of speech teaching.

His own specialism is argumentation and public address." He has come to Britain to do research for a treatise entitled. Instrumentality of Argumentation and Debate in the Evolution of the Democratic Processes in Britain." American research on the subject, he thinks, has slopped unjustifiably as lately as Burke and Fox. He made up his mind to go back to the Romans. Now he wants to go back even further, and is going to Athens before he returns to the States. In the past month or two he has listened to debates, at universities, in local government, and in Westminster.

House of Commons debating, he thinks, reaches as high a standard as is likely to be found anywhere, but he cannot understand why Oxford and Cambridge Unions have a reputation as a nursery for House of Commons speakers. Utiioa.iepeakers he while being very amusing, seem to make a point of being unsystematic, unsupported by fact, and. orien, irrelevant.

Manoah Chirwa THE voice from the Central African Federation (the two white-dominated Rhodesias and the nearly Nyasa-land) most usually heard is that of its Prime Minister.

Moreover, his word carries much weight throughout Southern Africa. When he: says that Federation has produced a- decline in the rights and opportunities of Africans in Nvasaland as swift as it is grave, he is heeded by millions.
