By ALAIN de BENOIST Copley News Service In the aftermath of Red Chinas interthe three years of disonal upheaval rder purges and public executions which went by the name of Great Proletarian Cultural Revolution leaders are warily eyeing each other, sensitive of the delicate balance of forces which keeps them precariously in power. fliers remain deep divisions and bitter rivalries which could surface at any time in another bout of bloodletting. As for the Thoughts of Chairman Jiao nobody knows what he really thinks these days. No member of the Chinese Communist Party, not even Mao himself, appears to have the authority, initiative or nerve to make clear enunciations on the partys programs and function. Maos troubles began around 1937, with growing factionalism over the question of whether to adhere to hard-lin- e Marxism or whether to follow the path of s in the Moscows contemporary spirit of revisionism. The failure of the. Great Leap Forward brought further criticism of Mao. In December, 1938, the Sixth Plenary Session of the Seventh Congress of the Central Committee saw the formation cf a majority against him. In the ensuing months, he found himself being progressively cut off and isolated from the decision-makin- g and directing bodies of the party. In an effort to recapture his lost power, Mao in 1962 initiated the Great Movement of Socialist Education, and later the cultural revolution, properly called in China the Great Proletarian it T rr 4. , s 4k - .

The major objective was to break or subdue the structure within the party which had eluded Maos control, and which no longer could be taken in hand. In order to do this, Mao had to rely on some dynamic groups which had not known the first generation of the Chinese Communist Party, and who were so ideologically disposed as not to recoil from violence. These were the Red Guards, the revolutionary committees and the trade unions. The army was ordered not to intervene in the confrontations which followed. Indeed, the army came through the " chaos more or less intact and strong- er. Under army direction, the revolutionary committees were purged and new cadres were established from the grass roots levei during the revolution. Early in 19C9, all the provincial committees and those of large municipalities were presided over by a military chief. Similarly, the cadres of the Army of Popular Liberation, which presumably were waiting for such an opportunity, proceeded to eliminate the Red Guards with such severity as to surpass even the directives coming from Peking. But the APL was assured of the tacit approval of such members of the Central Committee and Politburo as Premier Chou En-la- i, who had seen their positions menaced during the cultural revolution. In the earlier system of Chinas military hierarchy, each officer was doubled by a political commissar to whom he usually was subordinate. Now it is the officer who dominates. Without the Popular Army the Populace Is Nothing, is the new slogan. According to estimates of the Institute of Strategic Studies in London, the strength of the Chinese army is about 2.76 million men. In addition, the air force has 120,000, of which 3,500 are pilots for 2,500 planes, and the navy has Lin I consider this a definitive performance of the sonatas? Definitely not!

The idea that it or part of it can be played exactly the same again should be forgotten. Our activity as interpreters does not Include chiseling and polishing as do sculptors (and for that matter, composers) until perfection is reached. Claude Franks views are that Jane Lambert in Washdyke, New Zealand, should be allowed to hear any or all the Beethoven sonatas at her convenience. So should Toko Kiwowake in Wakamatsu, Japan, or, for that matter, you in Salt Lake City. If they listen of me on my recordings, they listen to a pianist whose was tree: musical Beethoven.

There is also a public security force of y nature which comprises a 300.000 to 500,009 men and a popular militia of about 12 million people. Unlike the party hierarchy, the military hierarchy was practically untouched he military by the cultural revolution, sectors of a strategic nature, such as the nuclear installations in Sinkiang Province, were carefully preserved and protected from the extremism of the revolution. Early this year a new campaign was launched by Mao and his supporters the authority which seeks to of the party. In January, an article in the Red Flag, reprinted in the Journal of the People, stated that the party, protector of the proletariat, must ilirect all other organizations, such as the army, the and the structures of the masses. The outcome of this campaign, which of the basic struc- seeks tures of the Communist Party, is uncertain in the light of prevailing conditions. Mao is apparently in conflict with the military forces, who are reluctant to give up newly acquired privileges. He is unable to appeal to the party cadres, since these were decimated by para-militar- nt chance to be Chinese leader. the cultural revolution. Neither can he turn to the Red Guards, who have been disarmed by the army after earning widespread animosity. While the big round face of Chairman Mao may still beam down from Pekings propaganda posters, his power is no longer absolute. It is divided between Mao supporters and the military clique headed by Marshal Lin Piao, minister of defense. g The balance between the Mao and Lin Piao forces is presently precarious and is to be seen against a backdrop of the army. Any conflict could have unforeseen repercussions. The question of who truly controls the army is one of the eternal problems in China. While the army tightened its ranks in face of the excesses of the Red Guards, it is now divided over such issues as foreign policy and specifically conflict. over the Tse-tun- g Tse-tun- Sino-Sovi- A substantial minority of the army, conscious of its technical inferiority next to Soviet conventional forces, is hostile to all forms of political adventurism which could lead to war with the Soviet Union. Determined to avoid such a conflict, these officers are inclined to identify themselves with the man who managed through the darker episodes of the revolution to maintain himself at an equal distance between Mao and Lin Piao. The prudence and pragmatism of Premier seem to them to be the wiser Chou course. Evidently Mao seeks to restore to the party the status it had a few years back, but he is not certain of being able to do so. The question is whether his group will be strong enough, or capable of turning dissension within the army to his advantage by using inter-grourivalry to eliminate the most troublesome generals. Lin Piao can rely on numerous military cadres, but not all of them by any means. However, he can bolster his position by appealing to the Peoples Militia. Then there is Chou. Mao will be 76 on Dec. 26 and the question of his succession is very pertinent at this time. Lin Piao is in poor health. If either should leave the scene suddenly, the present state of affairs would be entirely modified. Chou could possibly then appear acceptable to the greatest number, particularly during a troubled period. Two years ago it was said that Chou was finished. Since then he has rocketed upward again.

Utah legislation was a victim of the congressional procrastination of the last session, with all four into a recreation aroa to permit activities, including sheep grazing, there.

Moss said during a conversation in his office here. Sen. Moss has a healthy budget of legislation ready for the new session. In adbills to expand dition to Canyonlands National Park and give congressional authorization to an expanded Glen Canyon Recreation Area, he aims to close of a loophole in the Upper Colorado Basin Act by barring construction of a proposed dam to protect Rainbow Bridge from the waters of Lake Powell. Under terms of the Upper Basin Bill passed in 1956, water is not supposed to encroach on Rainbow Bridge. As the lake level has risen, that water has come closer and closer to the national monument. Some militant conservationists have threatend to have a federal court force the construction of a protective dam around the monument or halt the storage of water behind Glen Canyon Dam.

The plans are similar and aim to link the inaccessible scenic attractions of Utah, Arizona, New Mexico and Colorado on one grand park-wra- y patterned after the Blue Ridge and Natchez Trace parkways in the East. The idea seems likely to founder on federal budget restrictions, however. Only a administration patently expansionist budget would carry funds for that project. The shortage of energy fuels should help the West, as low grade coal reserves become more attractive. Sen.

Navy Uses Kremlin Tactic On Officer By JACK ANDERSON WASHINGTON Its an ugly Kremlin custom to hustle people who embarrass the regime off to mental wards. Our owft Navy appa- rently used the same remedy upon a lieutenant whom the brass suspected of trying to duck duty in Vietnam. The sylvan Naval Beth-esd- a Hospi- tal, whose doctors are the pick of the Navy, diagnosed the lieutenant as suffering from imaginary ills and put him in a mental ward for six weeks when, in fact, he had a hernia and a developing duodenal ulcer. The ordeal of Richard Schaeffer, a junior-grad- e lieutenant, began when the Navy tried to ship him to Vietnam for work in a Marine combat hespieal. The young officer, a clinical psychologist, complaijred of agonizing chest pains. He WASHINGTON MERRY-GO-ROUN- D collapsed before his Vietnam orders went into effect. Through the intervention of Sen. Hugh Schaeffer was admitted to Scott, the hospital, which has ministered to the ills of Presidents, admirals and other no., tables. A Navy psychiatrist quickly diagnosed Schaeffer as a sociopath, a condition often identified with criminal tendencies, and consigned him to a restrictive psychiatric ward. Not only was his mail opened and read, but a Navy corpsman was also put at his side to take notes every time Schaeffer spoke with visitors, including his fiancee. For six weeks, Schaeffer insisted he was not crazy and his pains were real. Finally, the brass derided to discharge him as unsuitable because of what e they called his disorder. Schaeffer was fed up with the Navy, butfhe knew such a discharge would passive-aggressiv- blacken his career forever as a psychologist. He demanded a full hearing and hired civilian lawyer Jack May, a fiesty defender of military underdogs. May swiftly found that the Navy brass was determined to discredit Schaeffer by fair means or foul. He won an admission from the Navy Medical Centers chief legal officer that the personnel bureau, when weighing Schaeffers case, had asked only for the derogatory material in Schaeffers file. SUPERS, as it is called in bureaucratese, specifically rejected favorable material from the file. A civilian psychiatrist, Dr. Hyman that meanwhile, testified, Shapiro, Schaeffer had no personality disorders. It was a terrible thing, the psychiatrist added, for the Navy to try to make him out to be a mental case. refused The Navy board to heed the Navy doctors demand for an unsuitable discharge and said Schaeffer Uvas fit for service. But this Dispute On Pay Heads For Court I worked for a construction company doing rarnenter work. They owe me $38-- ' and wont pay me. I took my case to the 'mm wvA'm Box 1257 Soli Lake City, Utah 84 110 - iRPABrainiifei - NVJ encouragement didnt cure Schaeffers chest pains. Disgusted with his care in the Navys best hospital, he went to a civilian physician who discovered the agony was all too real. Schaeffer had a chest hernia which Bethesda incredibly had missed. it The Navy, unwilling could have made such a monumental goof, sent Schaeffer to the Philadelphia Naval Hospital for a new diagnosis. The Philadelphia doctors found the hernia. But sensirg a lawsuit, the Navy tried once again to put Schaeffer in a mental to believe ward. This time, Assistant Navy Secretary James Hittle intervened to end the farce. He reviewred the case and ordered the Navy to give Schaeffer the honorable discharge he now sought. It was in the nick of time. A civilian doctor found that part of Sciiaeffers suffering also stemmed from a duodenal ulcer, which both Navy hospitals had missed. FOOTNOTE: A Bethesda Naval Hospital spokesman said he could not comment on the case because all records in it tere confidential. Company told us they hadnt paid you because they hadnt been paid by the dentist for whom the work was done. Seems he wasnt satisfied and now he and the company cant agree. But Industrial Commission says you have a proper claim and the law says an employer must pay an employe twice monthly unless theres some other agreement between them. The commission held a hearing on this matter on Aug. 18, but the company didnt show. It was ordered to pay you. When this wasnt done the case was given to the county attorney. That's where it has been and is. It appears the matter is headed toward court for solution. No date set for hearing and it likely will be another while since cases are about three to four months behind. If you end up with a judgment, but are not paid, the sheriff can seize assets of the company to satisfy judgment Taste of Money Do you think this is right?

I think something should be done. S.A., Salt Lake City. Of course it should! Although weve never tasted money, we think no one who handles food should also handle money. But we must admit this is not always feasible or practical for small places. The place you name employs a cashier for the noon rush. Rest of the time some-- , one takes the money, then wipes (or is supposed to) his hands on a cloth treated with disinfectant before handling food. Too easy to forget, we think.
