China Crisis Not a Revolution But Factional Power Struggle
The turmoil in China's major cities is a bitter contest between two ruling party factions, not a popular revolt. Maoist and Lin Biao aligned forces face Liu Shaoqi loyalists, with outcomes likely shaping who leads China rather than altering its communist nature. A Formosa invasion would risk global war and seems unlikely without U.S. backing or Soviet support.

Stans urges $10 billion in cuts to avert deficit
Maurice H. Stans, budget chief under Eisenhower, warns a $30 to $40 billion deficit may follow next year if recession hits. He proposes broad nondefense cuts, including ending agricultural price supports, halting lending programs, and trimming foreign aid, with a possible later tax cut to boost the economy. He argues reductions now would focus effort on Vietnam and require domestic sacrifice to support the war and poverty fight.
