One man was arrested for booing the visiting premier. Talks during the visit centred mainly -around economic and cultural projects. At a_ state banquet Monday night, both the Soviet leader and Turkish Pre- mier Suleyman Demirel «x- pressed satisfaction with the ex- changes. ;--~ It was Kosygin's fourth trip outside the eastern Communist 'Black Mist' Sparks Vote TOKYO (AP) -- A rally of 100,000 Red Guards in Peking denounced President Liu Shao- chi and party general-secretary Teng Hsiao-ping today as lead- ers of the "'bourgeois reaction- ary line," Japanese correspon- dents reported from the Chi- nese capital. Neither Liu nor Teng were present 'at the meeting in Pe- king's workers athletic hall, the correspondent of the Japan broadcasting conporation said. On the eve of the rally, Red Guard wall newspapers carried abject self-criticisms by Liu, once the No. 2 man in the Communist hierarchy, and Teng, the former No. 7 man. The Japan broadcasting cor- poration said Red Guard speak- ers got up one after another to e Liu and Teng as bloc this year. Earlier he made trips to Egypt, Finland and Precedent Broken By Kosygin Jaunt In a final communique sum- ting up the visit, -and Demirel expressed "'deep alarm over the dangerous situation in Southeast Asia" and promised to. continue developing relations between their two countries "on the principles of full equal%y, non-interference in each other's internal affairs, mutual respect of independence, sover- eignty and territorial integrity." One major problem that has soured recent Soviet - Turkish relations, the Cyprus question, was touched upon only in gen- eral terms, The communique said Kosygin and Demirel set forth their known positions and declared all United Nations members should abide by the Security Council resolution of March 4, 1964, calling on them to refrain from actions liable to aggravate the situation on the island. Earlier reports said Kosygin expressed regrets over an arms shipment from Czechoslovakia to the Greek Cypriot govern- France. ment of Cyprus.
