Army commanders in the field have paid only lip service to calls by civilian politicians in Peking for a return to party rule. In fact, in recent weeks civilian party chairmen have been ousted from the ruling revolutionary committees in Shantung, Shansi and Kweichow provinces. As a result, 27 of China's 29 provinces are now under what amounts to military rule. In Peking, where the military holds more than half of the 21 posts in the Politburo, army men preside over both the formulation and execution of policy...

But there was no doubt that the purge of "counterrevolutionary" Communists that swept Peking's Mayor Peng Chen from office (TIME, June 10) was spreading rapidly into the provinces. In southern Yunnan province and in neighboring Kweichow, editors of provincial party papers were under fire for spreading "revisionist poison." In Szechwan, a high-ranking official in the party's regional directorate was accused of having shamelessly attacked party cadres.
