China toenarge
purge of party'
TOKYO (R5) - Red China marked its 19th anniversary yesterday
with an announcement that'Mao Tse-tung's 26-month-old purge is to
be widened and deepend to "purify" the 17 million members of the
Chinese Communist party.
Mao's top aide and heir-apparent, Defense Minister Lin Piao, told
a half million cheering Chinese in Peking's Tien An Men-Gate of
Heavenly Peace-Square at the height of nationwide celebrations: "We
definitely will liberate Taiwan, Formosa, and are ready at all times to

NEW YORK VP) -The teachers'
union threatened yesterday to call
another city-wide strike of the 1.1
million-pupil school system un-
less the Board of Education en-
forces an agreement that red to a
settlement over. the weekend of
the teachers' three-week strike.
The board of the Ocean Hill-
Brownsville experimental school
district, which set off the first
strike, ignored key elements in the
peace pact yesterday and a brief
clash between parents, pupils, tea-
chers and police erupted at police
barricades outside one school.
Another school in the district Was
closed because of trouble.'
"The possibility of another
strike should not be ignored," Al-
bert -Shanker, president of the
AFL-CIO United Federation of
Teachers said at a news confer-
ence. "It is very real. We don't
want it. But our patience is run-
ning out."
Under the agreement, that end-
ed the strike, teachers were to re-
turn to their jobs in. Ocean Hill-
Brownsville. The local board in
Ocean Hill said it would defy the
agreement.,
%wipe out all enemies who dare to
invade us."
Despite these tough words
broadcast from Peking, the accent
was more on the internal politics
of the proletarian cultural revolu-
tion than on the oft-repeated fear
of an American attack as Mao and
his associates reviewed the annual
parade through the huge square.

which has been concentrated at
the top - will now "lay the basis
for the work of consolidating and
building the party by conscien-'
tiously purifying the class ranks."
The objective is to shake up the
party's now predominantly intel-
lectual-military structure to in-
clude "advanced elements among,
the industrial workers" - t h e
class Mao has decreed shall hence-
forth lead the cultural revolution.
The editorial also advocated
making room in the "party's bas-
ic organizations and t h e party
committees at all levels" for Com-
munists who have "stood firmly"
by Mao's line. This presumably
would include activists such as
Mao's wife, Chiang Ching; Lin's
wife, Yeh Chun; and others.

filibuster against Abe Fortas' no-

Ithe appointment was put aside at
least temporarily.
:On motion of Majority Leader

vote fell 14 short of the required
two-thirds majority.
The vote to halt debate on a
motion to take up President'John-

one informant. "And it looks sus- con
piciously like the position of Pre-
sident Johnson's administration inr
spite of its new formulation."
The Soviet news agency Tabs
echoed this skepticism, saying "no
new approach' could be detected
in Humphrey's announcement.
It said Humphrey's speech was
"clearly calculated to win over to
his side the numerous voters reso-
lutely denouncing the dirty war
OCTOBER 1-13 in Vietnam and demanding that it
be ended."
Some foreign diplomats feel,
however, that Hanoi might sur-
prise its Moscow supporters, as it
did when it accepted President
Johnson's offer of preliminary
peace talks in Paris.
They reason that Hanoi could
calculate Humphrey will prove
easier to deal with 4han any of
his rivals. Following this logic, the
North Vietnamese might decide to
make a response to his speech,
thus hoping to ease his way into
the White House.

In the meantime, while the
Senate returns to legislative busi-
ness, he said the nomination will

Sv atican asks
dialogue
VATICAN CITY W-) - The Va-
tican appealed yesterday to Ro-
man Catholics to join with other
Christians and members of all
faiths in an international program
of contacts with atheists to help
make the world "more human'.
The appeal, issued in apolicy-
making locument by the Vatican's
Secretariat for non-Believers, said
such a program of dialogue was
not intended to convert people but
to express "brotherly love" and to
meet the needs of "a humanity,
come of age,"
Such dialogue, said the deu-
ment, would by "every form f
meeting and communication be-
tween individuals, groups and,
* mmunities to bring about a
greater grasp of the truth and to
achieve better human relations in
a spirit of sincerity, respect for
persons, and mutual trust."
Communists w er e included
among the nonbelievers. The
Vatican recommended that all
types of atheists should be met in
contacts and discussions a't the
local, national and international
levels.
