An AP News Analysis
The main actors in the unfolding
drama of Red China's power struggle
have been comrades in war, revolution
and nation - building for more than three
decades. Today they are divided into
two and perhaps three camps in
a struggle for control of a vast, back
ward and hungry land of 750 million peo
ple. One camp actually it may be a
minority faction of the Chinese Com
munist party is headed by Party
Chairman Mao Tse - Tung and De
fense Minister Lin Piao. They have
strong influence with the people's Lib
eration Army. They, together, appear
to have been the creators of the Red
Guard movement of violent teen-agers
who spearhead what is called "the great
proletarian cultural revolution," a eu
phemism for Mao's purge.
A second camp is headed by Liu
Shao - Chi, chairman of the government,
an office equivalent to President. He
has the support of influential figures
who control China's industrial labor and
considerable authority among the na
tion's intellectuals.
A third camp appears to be some
where in between these two, perhaps
trying to keep the Communist Party
from tearing itself to pieces in this
struggle. Among those who may be in
the third group are Teng Hsiao - Ping,
the general secretary of the party, and
Tao Chu, the able and often ruthless
administrator from South China who
rose meteorically to top party levels
since August, when the "cultural revo
lution" was officially launched.
The why and how of Mao's purge
goes back at least 8 or 9 years. It had
its beginnings in Mac's "great leap for
ward," an ambitious plan by which
China by virtue of regimented pea
sants in "people's communes" and mil
lions of backyard smelters in the na
tion's cities was supposed to leap
"toward communism" and economic
might.
GREAT LEAP FAILED
The great leap turned out to be
an economic calamity, and Liu Shao -Chi,
an enormously influential figure,
was believed then to have opposed Mao.
The way the story now is unfolding,
Liu was strong enough to relieve Mao
of his position as chairman of the
government, leaing him with only the
title of chairman of the party.
Here are some of the main actors in
the drama:
Mao Tse-Tung. The party chairman,
often ailing, turned 73 on Dec. 26. The
son of a well-to-do peasant from Hu
nan Province, he became a Commun
ist in 1921. It was a divided party for
10 years thereafter, until Mao turned

on the pro - Moscow elements and clean
ed them out of the leadership. There
after Mao led the party and its armed
forces to victory over the Nationalists
and was master of the nation by Oct.
1, 1949. Since then he has had to con
duct purges once every three or four
years, but none has been as confused
as the current "cultural revolution."
Lin Piao. At 59, he is one of the
youngest of the top Chinese leadership.
He. suffers from latent tuberculosis, and
has not been in good health for many
years. Lin rose to prominence after
Mao's 1959 purge in which Defense Min
ister Peng Teh - Huai was fired for op
posing Mao policies. Lin became de
fense minister, and increasingly became
the interpreter of "Mao Tse - Tung's
thinking." He reached a pinnacle of in
fluence in 1965, when he published his
"Long live victory of people's war,"
which was an elaboration of Mao's theor
ies on how revolution, arising in the
countryside, would envelop the cities. He
likened the advanced countries to cit
ies and the backward nations to the
countryside in his forcase for the for
tunes of world revolution.
Chou En-Lai. Chou is premier, the
head of the government apparatus. In
tha- current struggle he patently has
been allied with the Mao-Lin group.
Chou, at 69, is regarded as the peren
nial government functionary who re
mains safe by not aspiring to the pin
nacle of power, but he is an influen
tial leader. A product of university edu
cation in China, Japan and France, he
is China's suave diplomat today. But
his youth was one cf violent revolution.
He could, despite his appearance of
not aspiring to the peak of power,
emerge from the current struggle as
a contender for the Mao mantle.
Liu Shao - Chi. The president of the
people's Republic is a slender, ascetic
man who, with Mao, was a founder of
the Chinese Communist movement. Long
a theoretician, he has always been re
garded as an inflexibly dogmatic Marx
ist Communist. Now 69, he devoted his
entire adult life to the party and had
long been regarded as Mao's closest
disciple and heir - apparent. Now he is
considered the leader of the opposition
to Mao.
Teng Hsiao-Ping. The 64-year-old gen
eral secretary of the party may be
c?ught in the middle by the current
struggle. Teng stocky, short and
tough, with a broad, flat face and hun
ched posture, rose to promience in 1933
when he became an economic czar with
power over the nation's purse string. He
is essentially a party organization man,
rigidly correct with regard to Marxist
Leninist doctrine and coldly anti-Soviet.
Tao Chu. Tao has been regarded as
a possible gray eminence behind the
current purge. He long was a close
lieutenant of Lin Piao and a faithful
disciple of Mao. At 60, he is tough and
often ruthless. Tao administered the
country's most difficult area. South
China, before rising meteorically to
prominence last summer. Now Tao, a
rugged man with crew cut gray hair
and square jaw, finds himself denounc
ed by the Red Guards, possibly be
cause of his efforts to keep the party
from failing to pieces.
NEWCOMER
Chen Po-Ta. Another newcomer to pro
minence, Chen, now 62, served for a
long time, as private secretary to Mao.
He is Mao's ally in the struggle. Chen,
an austere teetotaler known for his ar
rogance, has been designated leader
cf the "great cultural revolution." A
writer and propagandist, he served Mao
as a theoretician of Chinese Commun
ism. Kang Sheng. His real name is Chang
Shao - Ching. Born in" 1903, he was a
violent revolutionist from his early youth.
He has had his ups and downs in the
party, but now is in a place of promi
nence again and probably an ally of
Mao. He is an expert at secret police
work and once was the object of Jo
seph Stalin's expressed admiration on
this score. Bald and nearsighted, he is
considered a rather terrifying figure be
cause of his association with past purges.

Coffee House
fi. - "ssi
Greenwich Village's Bitter
End is coming to Carolina.
Graham Memorial's Ren
dezvous Room is now being
converted by workmen into an
intimate club which will house
entertainers straight from
Fred Winetraub's Bitter End
in New York. The Club, as
yet unnamed will exist for
two weeks presenting Jake
Holmes from J a n u ary '30
through February 4 and Steve
Gillette February 20 through
26. Both are coming straight
from The Bitter End.
The idea of bringing authen
tic coffee house entertainment
to college campuses is com
pletely new.
Through the coordinated ef
iorts of Fred Winetraub and
the Student Union directors of
the universities involved, this
first "coffee house" circuit
will include stops at Duke,
N. C. State, Davidson, U.S.C.,
Wake Forest, East Carolina
and U.N.C.
G.M.'s anonymous club will
present two shows nightly at
9 and 10:30 (3 shows on Sat
urday night). What is left un
sung by the entertainers will
be supplemented by a free
juke box for dancing before,
after and between perform
ances. Believe it or not, even
coffee will be available and
cokes for the less adventur
ous. The people involved in stu
dent programming are more
excited about this experiment
than any before. This will not
be a packed auditorium
there will be no advance sales.
It will be a place to drop in
with a date, for an hour, or
the entire evening. Admission
is 75 cents per person for
UNC students and their dates.

A" combination of Republi
cans and Southern Democrats
overrode earlier, 202 to 128,
an attempt by the House lea
dership to soften the punish
ment by seating Powell while
the special committee con
ducts its inquiry.
Powell, who made a brief
speech in his own defense, left
the House chamber abruptly as
the trend of the roll call on
the leadership proposal became
clear. There were rumors that
he might resign his seat.
He said in his speech:
"My conscience is clear. I

McCormack, D-Mass., would
have five weeks to complete
its work.
Rep. Emanuel Celler, D-N.Y
chairman of the House Judi
ciary Committee, called the
Republican move "a danger
ous precedent."
Rep. Morris K. Udall, who
led the fight Monday to depose
Powell as chairman, led the
fight to have him seated to
day while his case was studies.
Udall said Powell's loss of
his chairmanship was harsh
punishment for any -abuses he
may have committed .In addi
tion, he said, Powell would
still be liable to exclusion
when the House voted on the
report of any investigating
committee.
"How much more do we
want?" he asked. "How much
overkill?"
Outside the Capitol, up to
300 Powell supporters demon
strated in his behalf.
Rep. Gerald R. Ford, R
Mich., urged the defeat of
Udall's resolution. He said it
was the unconstitutional re
sponsibility of the House to
judge the qualifications of
its members.

Powell and other student lead
ers who wrote a letter to Pres

will probably meet with Sec
retary of State Dean Rusk
within the next two weeks,
Powell said yesterday.
Powell said that first, how
ever, he and the others would
discuss the meeting among
themselves.
Concerning Rusk's reply to
the letter, Powell, who headed
its list of signers, said he per
sonally "didn't think anything
new was said.
"But," he continued, "I
thought it was an honest at
tempt to explain our position."
Powell said he especially
viewed with interest state
ments contained in the Rusk
thP United States
mentary level); and Feb. 13, had not intentionally bombed
civilians.
"That is not very satisfac
tory to the people whose homes
have been damaged," he add
ed, however.
Discussing Rusk's assurance
that the United States is at
tempting to end the war as
soon as practically possible,
Powell said:
"We're not eager enough to
negotiate to stop the bombing.
This has been a continuing
precondition" for successful
negotiations with the enemy,
he pointed out.
Powell emphasized that these
were his personal views. He
said he and the other student
leaders will discuss a possible
reply to the Rusk response. He
said he did not know when the
discussion of the reply would
end, or even whether a reply
would be sent.
He said that the biggest
problem he and the leaders
have encountered so far m
scheduling the Rusk meeting
"is exams across the country."

The Campus Affairs Com
mittee has joined the Student
Co-op Committee in sponsor
ing the Used Book Co-op to
be held in the Naval Armory
from January 18 to February
4.
Co-op Committee Chairman
Don Duskie met with the Af
fairs Committee yesterday aft
ernoon and explained the buy
and sell system.
"The success of this co-op
depends on hard work and no
mistakes," Duskie said.
Duskie gave the committee
members posters and bro
chures explaining the co-op
to be distributed around the
campus.
Calling the co-op "something
new and big" Duskie stressed
several points which he said
must be followed to make the
co-op a success:
(1) Students should bring
only books which they know
will be used next semester.
(2) The co-op will only ac
cept paperbacks which are
regularly used as texts. This
will prevent students having to
return to pick up unsold books,
Duskie said.
(3) The co-op cannot accept
Dean Morrow said the proposal will
be presented to the administrative coun
cil of the College of Arts and Sciences
on January 17. The date for acting on
the plan will be decided by the council.
If the council approves the plan,
Dean Morrow said it would be present
ed to the faculty council which has final
say - so on academic matters.
The recommendation of the educa
tion reform seminar would allow each
undergraduate to designate six of the
40 courses he must take to be graded
on a pass-fail basis.
The program would be open
sophomores, juniors ana
seniors who have seiectea a
major and have a 2.0 quality
point average.
No pass-fail grading could
be used in a required course
in the General College or a
course required by a depart-
JL ment for a major in that de
partment.
A student would elect to
take a pass-fail course. He
could designate at pre-regis-tration,
registration or during
drop-add that he wanted the
course to be graded on a
pass-fail basis.
After drop-add, a student
could not change a course
from regular grading basis to
to
books that are in exceptionally pass-tall.
noor condition.
(4) The co-op cannot be re
sponsible for books lost or stol
en. The Armory will be lock
ed at night, though.
Anyone found wandering out
with unpaid-for books will be
charged with an Honor Code
violation, he said.
The idea of co-ops is catch
ing on at other campuses Dus
kie said. "It can be a success
here if we make it a success,
and save students a lot of
money besides."

The Paris Chamber Orches
tra is an ensemble of fifteen,
prize-winning Parisian instru
mentalists. The nine men and
six girls who make up the
group were all students at the
Paris Conservatory when con
ductor Paul Kuentz founded
the orchestra twelve years
ago.
Since then, the Paris Cham
ber Orchestra has given near
ly 1000 concerts, touring ex
tensively in Europe, the Unit
ed States and Canada.
Appearing again with the or
chestra this season is the re
nowned trumpet soloist, Adolf
Scherbaum, whom a recent is
sue of the Saturday Review
Magazine termed "the equiva
lent of an Oistrakh or Sutherland."
Each Drofessor would know
which of his students was tak
ing the course on a pass-fail
basis.
The proposal recommends
that a passing grade be the
equivalent of a "D" or above.
The proposal would allow
professors to encourage stu
dents to do independent rtudy
for pass-fail study. This means
the student could do concen
trated work on one topic cov
ered in the course.
At the end of the s mester,
the professor would record ei
ther a "P" for passing or "F"
for failing on the student's
transcript.
If a student wished to major
in a field in which he has
previously received a pass-fall
grade, the proposal recom
mends that he be allowed to
take additional courses above
the required number of cours
es in the major for a stand
ard letter grade.
The proposal lists four rea
sons why the pass fail system
would be of benefit to UNC:
IT WOULD permit students
to venture out of their major
field of study without fearing
a lower grade point average,
and hence a lower class
standing.
TT WOULD force both stu
dents and teachers to be more
deeply interested in a mean
ing criterion for excellence in
course work.
IT WOULD reduce some of
the intense pressures and an-
