PAGE TWO TIlE MICliIGAN DAILY FRIDAY, MAY 27, 1966 CHINESE DISPUTES: Red Ideological Clash Creates Internal Political Upheavals FILMS 'Sabrina' and Bogart, A Long Island Cinderalla RATINGS DECREASE: Johnson's Popularity Losses By The Associated Press Influential elements in Red dents-for asking, for example, [the Socialist cultural revolution' China's armed forces appear to have clashed with the ruling Po- litburo, producing a deep internal crisis which has persisted for six months. Dissident forces seem to be losing out, but the struggle may be far from ended. The crisis evidently has been one of the first magnitude upon which, the party press indicates, has hung the future of both par- ty and state. Among the dissidents apparent- ly were armed forces figures who considered the Chinese military backward in a perilous time, and who regretted the loss of Soviet technological help in 1960. Such elements may have wanted to find a road to ideological and state- level peace with the Moscow lead- ership. A clue to all this turned up this week in a Chinese account of an air force political organization's conference . The armed forces paper, Libera- tion Army Daily, said the meeting was told: "The first problem we military men must solve is wheth- er we want to carry out the revo- lution or whether we should let revisionism prevail in our coun- try." "Revisionism" is the Chinese party term for Soviet ideology. The meeting criticized "some people"-a favorite label for dissi- what good an air force was if its planes could not fly. Those who complained said the weak link in the armed forces was technology. This was considered wrong thinking. The paper found tech- nology less important than build- ing a "proletarian-minded" armed force. It indicated the dissidents were losing the struggle. "The military of the armed forc- es," it said, "has undergone a great change since comrade Lin Piao's instructions about giving prominence to politics were car- ried out. However, some people are not yet fully aware of the seriousness of the class struggle." Defense Minister Lin Piao, a powerful, doctrinaire member of the Politburo with an anti-Soviet outlook, evidently shunned the theory that Soviet technology was important to the Chinese armed forces. In those "instructions" he said: "What is the best weapon? Not artillery, nor airplanes, nor tanks, nor atom bombs. The best weapon is Mao Tze-tung's thinking." The "instructions" were issued Nov. 1T. The date is important. Before then, the press now says, certain plotters used prominent writers to spread poisonous weeds" and an anti-party line. Said the Peking People's Daily: "A sudden change of situation on front took place in November 1965. A new repulsing battle broke out, and Wu Han, the collaborator of Teng To, was brought to light." By BETSY COHN Aside from the saving grace of Audrey Hepburn and the rugged poker face of Humphrey Bogart, the pace of "Sabrina" (1954) is run around a used track of well- Wu Han is Peking's deputy may- i worn plot and tired dialogue. or and a member of its party sec- retariat. Teng To is a party sec- retary and former editor. Both now can be linked with a purge drive in the armed forces. The November date pegs the crisis. It was then that Mao drop- ped from public view, to remain out of it for six months, possibly ill. It was then that Lin Piao-- whom some regard as a coming strong man-issued the "instruc- tions." Their main theme, now quoted interminably, was that pol- itics must always be in absolute command of the armed forces. Targets of the campaign are men who "defend Khrushchev re- visionism and the Soviet line," who have embraced "the most di- abolical thought among human be- ings." Through the murky jargon of Chinese Communist language, one can detect evidence that the old- line leaders who came up with Mao still have the upper hand. But the indications are that the purge has reached deep into the leader- ship of the party and of the arm- ed forces, and that before it is over some people in high places will be brought down. Sabrina is the Long Island Cin- derella, the daughter of a chauf- feur and the love of the two rich Larrabbee brothers. Her youth is largely spent perched in tree limbs casting tearful glances at David Larrabbee (William Holden), the sleek young Wall Street flower whom she has loved since the age of nine. Holden goes through a fa- miliar routine of the affluent lov- er who has been married three times, the man in demand by the Long Island ladies and the callous lover who takes women's hearts and makes them into cardiac dis- tortions. Nevertheless, her arboreal pur- suits are in vain and she is ship- ped off to cooking school in Paris with hopes that she will get her feet back on the ground. After working with souffles and boiled gongala leaves for two years, Sabrina returns "a changed woman." She is "sophisticated, in- dependent" and ready to leap at life with her now "level-headed" approach...so she thinks. Her first lunge is at lustful David who is naturally agape at the new woman. After a cute duet of "Who are you . . . I've seen you somewhere before," he real- izes she is the chauffeur's daugh- ter. The knot begins to tangle here. Holden is already engaged to some vapid young figure whose daddy deals with sugar. Holden's family is violently upset by his new plebian interlude and the plot pleads for a solid intervention. Enter Bogart: older brother, stronghold of the family business and direct antagonist to Holden and Hepburn. Naturally, his pres- ence assumes that things will eventually straighten- themselves with his efficient, cool, matter-of- fact tactics. It is tender, morose, but inevitable that the ending should work out as it does: the cynical elderly man and the sweet, sensitive young girl are happily clutching at each other, while sail- ing away to the Happy Parisian Wonderland. Like the Cinderella syndrome, there is a magical element in the movie which saves it from an unhappy pumpkin fate.. .. Bippe- ty, boppetty Boo! The magic charm of Hepburn and Bogart, too! Although Bogart looks a little haggard, talks in somewhat of a garbled drone and impresses one as having a slight lack of spon- taneity, this is the Bogart magic. It is a successful potion which makes the viewer forget the story and concentrate on the finer spe- cifics. Hepburn, the charming half of the magic, adds something aes- thetic to the movie with her nat- ural fawnlike movements and a sensitivity in her presence. This carries over to her acting in a sympathetic commune with her audience. Overlook the plot, overlook the structure of stereotypes on which it is built. Be attentive to the al- luring aloofness of Bogart, the delicate appeal of Hepburn, and enjoy "Sabrina." Due To Li WASHINGTON (P) - President Johnson is keenly aware that the high cost of living and the Viet Nam war are cutting into his administration's popularity as measured by public opinion polls. In reaction to the polls and oth- er signs, the administration has made several moves to try to show that the rise in living costs has been much lower than in oth- er industrialized nations and that there are grounds for hope that civil strife in South Viet Nam can be composed and a degree of unity attained. After his latest survey this week, pollster Louis Harris said that the American public's rating of the way Johnson does his job has fall- en to the lowest point of his 22 years in the White House. Only 55 per cent now think he is doing an excellent or good job, Harris reported. This is a decline of seven percentage points from two months ago and 12 points from January. But Johnson's rating in this poll is still above the low points of the Eisenhower and Kennedy ad- ministrations. A Gallup Poll released Wednes- day night reported that a test for the presidency between John- son and Republican Richard M. Nixon would be closer now than eight months ago. The poll said 54 per cent of those queried replied they would like to see Johnson win if the election was held today, while 36 per cent picked Nixon and 10 per cent were undecided. Last Septem- ber, a similar poll listed Johnson with 61 per cent, Nixon with 35 per cent and had 4 per cent un- decided. No other candidates were listed in these polls. Another recent Gallup Poll pos- ed the question:tShould the Unit- ed States withdraw its troops if the South Vietnamese begin fight- ing among themselves in a big way? The polling organization said 54 per cent of Americans would favor withdrawal in that event,' and only 28 per cent favored con- tinuing to help South Viet Nam. At a news conference last Sat- urday, the President was asked: "How do you regard some of the very recent polls that show consid- erable public dissatisfaction over both Viet Nam and the economic situation as to inflation?" He replied that he believes there is somewhat more concern about higher prices now "than you would have in a normal period because we are coming close to reaching our objective of full employment." But he produced a chart to show that United States price increases have averaged less than 1%z per cent a year since 1960, whereas in Germany the growth rate is 3 per cent, in the United Kingdom and France 31/2 to 4 per cent and in Japan 61/2 per cent. As for dissatisfaction with the situation in Viet Nam, he said that he himself is "leading the parade" of those who want to get out. But outside of his news confer- ence remarks, Johnson-who on occasion has plucked polls from his pockets to demonstrate support of his leadership-has let his aides and supporters keep busy trying to iving Costs And War bolster public confidence in light of the sagging polls. On Monday, with the President sitting nearby, House Speaker John W. McCormack (D-Mass), told a White House gathering that "this country has never left the field of battle in abject surrender and we shall not do so now." The same day Secretary of State Dean Rusk told Senate and House leaders he was hopeful the civil strife between Buddhists and the Saigon government "will be re- solved before long." Both of these moves were seen as administration attempts to strengthen confidence in Johnson's conduct of the Viet Nam war. i1 1 TAAS DAILY OFFICIAL BULLETIN ;...... ..:.:... r..:>.:>:. .....::::.{":- ~{ r7^;{{s.. r.+. ." ...... _.....:. ... . . ..r'. .. ....,,,. . ,. :r{.. ...r"~rd r.rS+K}nb",..'.:}r.{{'~r?"iN,:ri4}}::i}} WEA~mm.. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . ..#A5#m miggg gggs TONIGHT at 630 P.M.
