Miscellaneous - This Day That Age   

dated March 25, 1954: Mao Tse-tung

Mao Tse-tung, China's supreme leader, who recent rumours said had disappeared, presided over the first meeting of the committee for drafting the Constitution, according to a New China news agency message received in London on March 23. Mao Tse-tung, Chairman of the Central People's Government of China, also heads the committee. Mao's absence "on holiday" from last month's meeting of the Communist Central Committee was followed by rumours that he was dead or dying. He had been variously reported suffering from tuberculosis, heart trouble and kidney disease and there had been little mention of him lately.
