...REGIME. Seventeen years after its victory over Chiang Kaishek, the Communist regime is solidly entrenched on the mainland. The chance of an internal revolution that would overthrow the Chinese Communists, says Professor Robert Scalapino of the University of California, "seems remote, barring global war or some other major and unforeseeable crisis." Other China experts agree. The Communists have unified the provinces, centralized all authority and imposed a totalitarian administration that has steadily tightened its grip on all phases of government and life. Chairman Mao Tse-tung's chilling philosophy is that "all political power grows out of the barrel...
...China last week provided a large share of Washington's worries, but it was the other China that attracted firsthand attention in the nation's capital. Mme, Chiang Kaishek, wife of the Generalissimo, continued the "unofficial" visit she began last month, charming her hosts at a luncheon with 60 Senators and at a dinner given by Dean Rusk-and all the while discussing the danger of admitting Red China to the United Nations.

Immediately, she had everyone wondering whether the tour might include a stop at the White House and some talks about the future of Formosa, but Nationalist China's First Lady gracefully sidestepped all questions about her purposes. She said she would like to visit President Johnson, but added that no advance arrangements had been made. Then Madame Chiang visited relatives and friends in San Francisco, revealing a bit of gossip about her husband. "In the last two years...
