Sabotage, rioting explode in China
TOKYO — (UPI) — Reported sabotage in Shanghai and bloody rioting in Nanking today and sabotage exposed for the first time the violent power struggle within Communist China.
Civil war loomed as a still-distant possibility as the world's most populous nation underwent the gravest internal crisis in its 17 years under Communist rule.
Radio Peking reported today that workers in some factories walked off their jobs and attempted to sabotage public utilities in Shanghai, Red China's most important industrial city. It was the first official confirmation of the bitter fight for control between Communist Party Chairman Mao Tse-tung and forces opposed to his "hardline" philosophy.
JAPANESE CORRESPONDENTS in Peking told of bloody
battles in the southeastern industrial city of Nanking between militant Red Guards and anti-Maoist groups. Their weekend reports mentioned heavy casualties, torture and atrocities.
They said Nanking was believed firmly in the hands of anti-Red Guard forces following fighting which left 54 persons dead and some 900 injured. Red Guard wall posters in Peking said 6,000 of their teen-aged members had been arrested.
In Hong Kong, independent and rightwing Chinese newspapers said the Nanking and Shanghai reports could signal the start of civil-war in Red China. They noted that Nanking and Shanghai and nearby provinces had been generally considered to be securely under the control of the Maoist faction.
