In Fukien, where there has been trouble in the past, five Peking officials sent to investigate new violence were kidnaped by local Red Guards. Newspapers in Anhwei report that Central Committee directives are being derided and that Mao supporters are under open attack. In Shantung, according to Peking radio, "people claiming to be revolutionaries" are stirring up "trouble...
