Party wall posters now hint that Public Security Minister Hsieh Fu-chih, another Lin Piao loyalist, may lose his job. And the official New China News Agency, covering a reception for 10,000 army officers given last week by Map, made it clear that many of those invited would soon become victims of the purge.
