Liu supporters 'fight' Mao
HONG KONG —(UPI)—The birthplace of Confucius today was reported ransacked by fanatical Red Guard youths because the teachings of the ancient Chinese philosopher do not conform with the ideas of Mao Tse-tung.
The Hong Kong Sing Tao daily quoting an article in the official Peking People's Daily said a band of young Marxist students raided the birthplace of China's greatest sage in Shantung province and razed a temple built centuries ago in his honor.
CHINA EXPERTS in this British Crown Colony, meanwhile, reported that Mao, claiming victory over his enemies in Shanghai, was apparently massing his forces for similar attacks against other opposition strongholds on the Chinese mainland.
The experts said Mao appeared to be employing "carrot and stick" tactics by offering his opponents forgiveness if they repent their "sin" against Mao in public and,

at the same time, theatening them with destruction if they do not.
Say 4 jets shot down
In the South, Viet Cong guerrillas used tear gas against American troops for the second time of the war, but the maneuver back-fired when the shifting wind blew the gas back at the guerrillas and sent them fleeing ahead of it.
Other dispatches reaching Hong Kong told of groups identified by Peking as "landlords," rich farmers and "reactionary malicious elements," were trying to finance a counter offensive against Mao.
Mao's campaign against his political foes however, moved less smoothly with reports from Peking of continuing stiff opposition by supporters of President Liu Shao-Chi, the chief anti-Mao leader.
A PEKING RADIO broadcast said "power-holder factions"—a typical reference to Liu supporters—made serious efforts to incite dock and port strikes and disrupt railway service, but that "revolutionary rebels" backing Mao had restored order in China's largest city.
President Liu was reported to have slipped out of the Chinese capital and set up headquarters about 225 miles south of Peking from which he will "continue his fight" against Mao.
Kansas bans LSD
TOPEKA, Kan. —(UPI) The State Board of Health quietly passed a regulation recently making it illegal to use LSD in Kansas.
Rep. Jack Turner (R-Wichita) said yesterday he learned of the regulation, which became effective Jan. 1, while he was investigating the possibility of legislative action for controlling the hallucinogenic drug LSD.
THE BOARD'S REGULATION which bans the use of both LSD and LSD-25, was under authority granted by a 1957 statute allowing the Board of Health to forbid the use of stimulating or dangerous drugs.
There is an exemption from the regulation. It allows members of the Native American Church to use the drug.
American Indians who attend the church have been allowed to use the drug peyota in religious ceremonies for years. LSD and LSD-25 are made from peyota.
BOTH STATE AND FEDERAL regulations exempt the Native American Church from prosecution for using the drug in its ceremonies.
This is expected to be the defense that James H. L. Ewan, 21, a Wichita State University student, is expected to base his defense upon.
Ewan was the first person arrested in Kansas for the illegal sale and possession of LSD. He is free on $1,000 bond.
Ewan was identified as the "Boo Hoo," an official clergyman of the Wichita lodge of the Neo-American Church, a group which also uses psychedelic substances in its rites.
