Mao begins army purge; Peking radio quotes Bible
"And I saw, and behold, a pale horse, and its rider's name was death . . ."
Apocalypse VI:7
HONG KONG — (UPI) — Communist Chinese leader Mao Tseung yesterday ordered a complete reorganization of the Chinese army, Peking radio reported today. The announcement apparently signalled the start of a purge of the three million member military establishment.
The Peking radio broadcast said the decision to reorganize the army was taken by Mao with approval of the Communist party central committee.
CHINA EXPERTS said the purge of the army was apparently intended to keep opponents of Mao from using the military to plunge the country into civil war.
Picking radio said Mao had accepted the recommendation of the party's central military committee to reorganize the cultural revolution subcommittee within
the peoples Chinese Communist liberation army.
Mao's wife, ex-film actress Chiang Ching, has been named as an adviser to the new subcommittee.
Mme. Chiang has been reported to be one of the organizers of Mao's cultural revolution. Some China experts believe her to be the power behind the throne although this has not been confirmed.
REPORTS said that Mme. Chi- chang was now in Canton, South China's largest city, trying to rally support for Mao.
Earlier today, Peking radio disclosed that highways, railroads, ports and communications facilities throughout Red China have been "sabotaged" by enemies of Mao.
The situation appeared so grave that Peking radio, borrowing a phrase from the Bible, threatened death and destruction of Mao's opponents if they did not immediately reform.
