Sino-Marxist Amalgam. With no formal university education, Ching-kuo commands little loyalty among Nationalist China's intellectuals, and his nonconformist methods irritate the top politicians of the Kuomintang. He is backed by his dashing half brother, Major General Chiang Wei-kuo, 47. As minister without portfolio in the Cabinet and special adviser to the President, Ching-kuo works closely with his father. Another source of strength is Ching-kuo's 100,000-man Youth Corps, and his veto power over promotions in the army gives him enormous influence with junior officers...
...calculated hate, planned unrest, useless destruction of private and public property and needless agitation between I colored and white races in Birmingham wei only made worse by your insidious reporting of this situation. Why, oh why, do you condone mob violence by the Negroes and yet deplore mob violence by whites? No reference was made by your reporter to the pillaging and looting of a private store by Negroes before they unmercifully burned this store and then stoned the firemen in an attempt to prevent them from controlling the fire.

More likely choice: tiny, tough Vice President Chen Cheng. 63, onetime Governor of Formosa, who along with Chiang was effortlessly re-elected last week...
...Died. Wei Li-huang, 64, wily Chinese Nationalist general who, after chopping up the Japanese in World War II and keeping the Communists at bay in the civil war that followed, inexplicably pulled out of a strongly fortified position in Manchuria at a crucial point in the war and went to live quietly in Hong Kong until 1955, when the Communists persuaded him to propagandize for them; of pneumonia; in Peking...
Died. Soumay Tcheng, 65, petite, irrepressible Chinese patriot who spent her life fighting for the freedom of China and the emancipation of women, became China's first woman lawyer, wife of Wei Tao-ming, Chinese ambassador to the U.S. (1942-46); of cancer; in Los Angeles. At 17 Madame Wei left home to join Sun Yat-sen's exiled Kuomintang Party in Japan, returned to help plot the overthrow of the Manchu dynasty. She carried secret messages and bombs in a suitcase, held revolutionary meetings in her own home, even though her father was a prominent figure...
