Mountain Refuge. Militia training has been stepped up everywhere. Visitors to the recent Canton trade fair report that a huge tunnel complex has been built beneath the city that will enable downtown residents to flee to the relative safety of White Cloud Hill nine miles away. Washington discounts rumors that the Chinese have chiseled an elaborate command post out of 12,000-ft. mountains in Szechwan province as a refuge for Chairman Mao Tse-tung and his deputy Lin Piao in the event of an attack.
