Dispute
By ARTHUR J. DOMMEN
United Press International
Hong Kong - (UPD - No one
knows who will succeed Mao
Tse-Tung as top man in Com
munist China - not even Mao
himselt.
But the Intensification of
the bitter dispute between So
viet Russia and Red China
has raised the inevitable ques
tion once again.
The public quarrel, with its
consequent isolation of Pek
ing in the Communist world,
has rjrobably increased the
strength of Mao's grip on the
party leadership.
At the same time, however,
it has also probably had the
effect of malting Maos or
derly appointment of a suc
cessor much more difficult. It
even brings forth the possl
bility that if Mao were to die
or step down tomorrow, the
Chinese communist party
might decide to make a fresh
start with a younger, less doc-
trlnate leader.
Would Welcome Move
Russia certainly would we!'
come such a move on the
part of the quarrelsome Chi
nese Reds who have refused
to accept the idea that all
Communist roads lead to Mos
cow.
It is possible that if such
a candidate were to emerge
with Russian promises of sup
port in the vacuum left by
Mao's departure from the
scene, he might be swept into
power overnight.
Mao is now 60. He has been
the unifying leader of the Chi
nese Communists for three
decades, since the time they
were a motley band of gucr
rilla fighters hiding out In
loess caves in Yenan. Mao
has been the unchallenged
boss in Red China all this
time with one notable except
ion - the stormy meeting of
the central committee in Lush
an in August, 1050, which led
to the dismissal of Marshal
Peng Teh-Hual.
Choice As Successor
On several occasions Mao
has made it clear that he con
siders state chairman Liu
Shao-Chi his choice as suc
cessor. But Liu is only four
years younger than Mao, and
each passing year makes him
a less likely choice.
If the party should decide
to make a new start in dom
estic and foreign policy with
a change in leadership, Liu
would be an unlikely candi
date. He has been in leader
ship associated with both the
disastrous commune policy at
homo, and the truculent line
being held against the So
viet union.
Nevertheless, Liu Is now
the heir apparent. But pow
er politics, as waged in all
Socialist govcrnmcnls, fre
quently have a habit of turn
ing the chain of command topsy-turvy.
As of now it is difficult to
see a likely candidate with
sufficient backing to upset the
top hierarchy of power, which
ranks today as follows:
Liu Shao-Chi -Silver-haired,
Liu dates his Communist
associations back to 1020. Un
like Mao, he studied In Mos
cow, and spent years In un
derground work in China
when the Communists and Na
tionalists split up the coali-

WAVES TO PARADLHS - In a symbolic
position just behind Red China's boss Mao
Tse-tung, right, Liu Shao-chl joints the Com
munist strong man in waving to National
Day paradcrs in this picture. Liu, 65, from
tion In 1027. He is tough, cold
and a humorless administrat
or.. His relations with at least
a portion of the armed forces
command are believed to be
poor.
He succeeded to the state
chairmanship in April, 1050,
when Mao stepped down. He
traveled to an important in
ternational Communist meet
ing In Moscow In late 1060,
and today Is believed to have
a hand in writing many of
Ch;na s most Important policy
statements In the argument
with the Russians. His basic
and most Important piece of
writing, "How To Be a Good
Communist, written at the
time of the war against the
Japanese In the 1030's, was
recently reissued by Peking.
Chou en-Lai - Chou ranks
third in the party, holding
the Important government
post of premier. He boasts ihe
visible assets of possessing
groat ability and charm, good
relations with the army and
a reputation for being a "mod
erate." His political skill Is

(UPI)
able, as indicated by the fact
that he has the longest record
of continuous service on the
politiburo of any member.
He went to Moscow as chief
Chinese delegate to the meet
ing in 1961 at which Soviet
Premier Nikita Khruschev
denounced the Albanians for
being "un-Communist." Chou
quietly restated the Chinese
contention that lntra-bloc dis
putes should not be aired In
public, without making any
retorts against his Russian
hosts. In domestic affairs he is
believed to have had little to
do with the initial formation
of Mao's ill-fated "great leap
forward," and once this was
under way he kept relatively
silcnt-a "diplomatic silence,"
as one observer puts it.
Teng Hsiao.Ping - Another
Politburo member, on the oth
er hand, who was a strident
advocate of the correctness of
the "leap" policy Is Teng
Hsiao-Ping, the secretary -gen
eral of the party's central
committee. This post is rough
ly equivalent to that held by
Josef Stalin when he was So
viet Russia's all-powerful
leader.
Teng was born in Szechuan
province about 62 years ago.
Teng was born in Szrchu-
l an province about 62 years
! ago. He traveled to France
after World War 1 rn a work-
andsludy arrangement, and
Joined the Communist parly
in Paris. On his return to
China he did organizational
work for the party. A shrewd,
articulate politician, Teng is
known among his colleagues
for his argumentativeness
bordering on arrogance.
Lin Piao - The men who
succeeded to the post of de
fense minister following the
disgrace of Marshal Peng is
Lin Piao. He has disappeared
unaccountably several times
and reappeared aKain in re
cent years. He has the reputa
tion of being a brilliant field
commander, and is believed
to enjoy considerable pop
ularity within the army.
His ace is about 55. which
means the age gap between
Lin and Mao Is about the
same as that between Khrush
chev and Stalin, and his rise
to power has been compara
tively recent.
AllhouKh the Chinese nMiv
nitmists list him ahead of
Teng on the standing commit
tee of the pariy apparatus. ' l
any consideration of the can
didates fur succession to
Mao's post I. in would prob
ably be handicapped by the
cardinal principle ' that the
army serves the party and
not vice-versa.
Lo Jui-Ching - Another re
liable party man is Lo Jul
Ching, 59, whose rise to
power has been even more
recent than Lin Plao's. He
was minister of public secur
ity when he was elevaled to
Ihe parly's secretariat last
September, and as such Lo
controlled China's nation
wide network of secret police
cells.
He has had less experience

of party organization and
theory, but in any power
struggle he would definitely
be a man to watch.
Plan Providing
Lower Distance
Charges Adopted
A plan providing new, low
er long distance rates on sta
tion to station calls within
Oregon between 9 p.m. and
4:30 a.m. was adopted Fri
day, March 1, by Pacific
Northwest Bell, J. H. Creager,
local manager, has announced.
The plan will become ef
fective on April 1.
The night time calling plan
was filed with Oregon Public
Utility Commissioner Jonel C.
Hill Friday.
Creager said the plan will
bring reductions of from 5
to 45 cents on station calls
in Oregon. The lower rates
apply on station calls 91 air
miles or more distant when
placed between 9 p.m. and
4:30 a.m.
Ninht Station Call
A night station call from
Medford to Eugene, which
now costs 70 cents for the
first three minutes, for ex
ample, will be 55 cents under
the new charges. A night sta
tion call from Ontario to Med
ford, which now costs SI. 05
for the first three minutes,
will be 70 cents for the same
time.
Creager said the plan was
designed to offer families an
opportunity to visit at reduced
rates.
The telephone company al
so filed with the public utility
commissioner nvnor revisions
in both day and night person
to person long distance charg
es within OrcRon.
These adjustments will
mean small decreases in some
person to person charges, no
changes in others, and small
increases in others, Creager
said.
The adjustments will more
netii'lv reflect the costs of
hnnrtlinu person to person
calls than have previous
charges, according to Crcafior.

MAIL TRIBUNE, MEDFOHD,
WT- BIRDING
j mjw By J0SEPH HICKS
If we predict the arrival of spring as coincident with the !
arrival of swallows, then spring had an early start this year.
Mrs. L. Thompkins saw both violet green and tree swallows
at the game commission pond Feb. 11. Last year the swallows
were first reported Feb. 22.
These first arrivals of swallows stayed in the valley
for a couple of days, then moved. The next group arrived
Feb. 23, and since then there have been both violet green
and tree swallows in the valley.
The first spring migrants reported this year were a pair
of cinnamon teal observed by
28; a very early sighting for this duck. On Feb. 14 I saw a
California bird, the black phoebe, near a bridge on the
Applegate river. This migrant, like the early swallows, ap
parently moved on, for a check on Feb. 22 failed to locate
the phoebe.
In addition to the early migrants, February has been
interesting to birders for other reasons. Early in the month
the cedar waxwings and robins came out of the mountains
into the valley, and began to work on the pyracantha, coton
easter, and other berries that are ripe in the winter.
From the many reports I received, I could almost follow
the progress of these birds across Medford. The cedar wax
wing is one of our most beautiful birds. Mrs. C. Paske gave
me a very apt description, "a sleek, crested, grey-tan bird,
with a yellow band at the tip of the tail, and a face with
make-up."
Also during the early part of February, I received reports
from J. Niedermeyer and others concerning a bald eagle that
was seen on Old Stage road and near the Medco pond north
of the airport.
Most of the observers noted the striking beauty of the
eagle with its white head, white cape, white tail, and black
body. The 7-foot wingspread was also noted. This is possibly
the bald eagle that frequents the upper Rogue river during
the winter months.
C. Richardson and I spent the morning of Feb. 15 check
ing the birds near Emigrant lake. At the recreation area we
found a flock of seven western bluebirds all beautifully color
ed in their spring finery. There were three Lewis wood
peckers that gave indications of nesting in the scrub oaks.
Between Emigrant lake and
mixed flock of tricolored blackbirds and crows feeding in
a pasture. I have observed this same mixture of tricolored
blackbirds and crows feeding together near the little Apple-
gate river. Perhaps the tricolored blackbirds attach them
selves to the crows to utilize the effective sentined system
maintained by the crows.
During February the family
trips to Harris Beach north of Brookings. The coast is al
most a month ahead of this valley in plant development. The
camelias have already bloomed, but the cultivated azaleas,
and rhododendrons are now at their prime. By March 10, I
estimate the wild azaleas will commence to bloom.
Harris park is a good birding area, particularly if you
are there at low tide. On the ocean I saw surf scoters,
cormorants, loons, and many gulls. On a rock about 50 yards
from the beach there was a small flock of rock sandpipers
busily feeding while dodging the bigger waves. In the brushy
area near the beach, there were flocks of golden crown
kinglets, song sparrows, fox sparrows, and two curious
wrentits who were interested in my bird call.
The game commission has a continuing project to place
wood duck nesting boxes along the Rogue river and Little
Butte tributary. While checking an approximate 50 boxes
during February, It was learned that over 60 per cent of
the boxes had been utilized by the wood ducks last year.
In some of the remaining boxes they found screech owls and
the nocturnal flying squirrels. I have had other reports that
these squirrels will visit feeders installed near homes.
While making the foregoing survey R. Maben and W.
Cavanaugh of the game commission located a blue heron
rookery of at least eight nests in the Gold Ray dam area.
With this information it will be possible in succedings years
to check the time of arrival of the blue herons at this rookery
and the Hornbrook cemetery
While writing this report,
just reported a very early migrant. On Feb. 23 and 24 a
male rufous hummingbird visited her garden to feed on
some flowering jasmine. This report is more than a month
earlier than any previous reports of migrating hummingbirds.
The male rufous is a beautiful, bronze-gold hummingbird with
a red throat. We see only the males in the early spring as
later they move into the mountains.
To sum up, February has been a most remarkable month
for early migrant records. For March, trips to the coast and
to Klamath Falls are recommended as being of interest. One
of my projects this spring is to get color slides of tricolored
blackbirds. They nest in a group in dense blackberry or
other brushy areas. Any information concerning the location
of this nesting site is requested. Also, I would appreciate
more details concerning the feeders and food used in luring
flying squirrels.

THE WEEK IN CALIFO
GOP Assembly Withstands
Conservative Group Threat
By United Press International ,
The -California Republican
Assembly has withstood a
threat by conservative ele
ments and retained control for
the old guard.
William Nelligan, a 54-year-old
San Francisco telephone
company technician and labor
leader, won the presidency of
the 10-thousand member vol
unteer organization in elec
tions held at Anaheim.
He carried a slate of 11
vice presidents from various
areas of the state and 9 other
officers in a complete victory
over conservative candidate
Harry Waddell of Salinas.
The immediate past presi
dent, former Kansas Gov.
Fred Hall, called the Nelligan
victory "the turning point
against the conspiracy of the
John Birch Society and its
supporters to capture control
of the Republican Party in
California."
Called Great Victory
Nelligan called it a ."great
victory" for the moderates.
But the conservatives charg
ed that the election was
rigged. Former State Assem
blyman Bruce Reagan of
Pasadena called the Nelligan
victory a "Rockefeller power
play" and claimed that "a
good deal more votes were
cast than there were delegates
registered."
The previous week end, a
group of young conservatives
led by Robert Gaston, a La
Canada attorney, won control
of the 13,000-member Cali
fornia Young Republican Or
ganization at a Fresno con
vention. Party regulars were set
back by the Gaston win but
last week he visited with GOP
legislators in Sacramento in
what was described as a
friendly session. And he prom
ised to work with the party
for a victory in the 1964
presidential elections.
Center on Assembly
In the Legislature, much
of the week's news centered
around Assembly Speaker-
Jesse M. Unruh, who decided
to delay all civil rights legis
lation until after April 2.
He sent the administration's
bill to lift state licenses from
firms who practice discrimina
tion to the ways and means
committee. An informed
source said it would sit there
until an election in Berkeley
on a fair housing proposition.
Then, if the Berkeley voters
reject the proposition, it
might be sent to an interim
committee for more study.
Unruh said that the Berkeley
election might indicate that
the public has not been edu
cated enough on civil rights
matters.
