Notes From China No. 3 Preserves Ancient Heritage
Barbara W. Tuchman reports on China's preservation of ancient relics under Mao era policies. She notes a Department for the Preservation of Historic Relics operates since 1949, restoring palaces and temples while curating public displays that emphasize mass labor over individual creators. She observes mixed aims, including propaganda, pride in national heritage, and selective openness, with some sites publicly accessible and others restricted or vandalized. The article highlights jade pieces, the Lady with a Lamp, and Ming Tomb propaganda contrasting with public parks and museums.

Soft Drink Tax Petitions Ruled Void by Missouri Court
Missouri Supreme Court, in a 6-1 ruling, nullified the soft drink tax initiative for conservation for lacking an enacting clause. Judge J P Morgan led the majority, rejecting the committee’s claim that voters knew the measure without that clause. The dissenter warned against overstating the clause’s impact, and the committee plans to renew its drive to place the amendment on the ballot. Secretary of State Kirkpatrick welcomed the decision as upholding the law.
