Whatever the reason, stringent measures are being taken to suppress troublemakers, who have been denounced as "criminal gangs." Earlier Hua was forced to send 12,000 troops into Fukien province to deal with "sabotage." From Yunnan last week came stern warnings that "we must resolutely suppress the counterrevolutionaries who beat, wreck and loot...

Noting the popularity of the "tasteless and absurd" book in Chiang Kai-shek's Taiwan, the group, via "Fukien Front" radio, has attacked what it calls "the Chiang gang's insidious motive in advocating the seagull character." The motive: to persuade intellectuals to oppose Communism. "Prominent personages in the Chiang gang," noted the young Red Guards, "have even openly called on the people to act like this particular seagull, pursue...
