Mao orders full reorganization of Chinese army
Mao Tse tung ordered a complete reorganization of the People’s Liberation Army, signaling a purge of China’s three million member military. The move, approved by the Communist party central committee, aims to strengthen proletarian cultural revolution guidelines and curb opponents from seizing the armed forces. Chiang Ching named adviser to the subcommittee, with reports she works to rally Mao’s support in Canton amid anti-Mao violence. Roads, ports, rail and communications facilities across Red China were said to be sabotaged by Mao’s enemies.

Partisan split over Iowa reapportionment amendment
Iowa faces a tough partisan fight as a second passage of a 1965 reapportionment plan divides Republicans and Democrats. GOP leaders argue the 1965 plan cannot be used until 1972 and oppose second passage this session, while Democrats push for ratification to avoid court-ordered redraws and potentially use the plan for 1968 or 1970 elections. The dispute centers on when subdistricting becomes operative and how the 1970 census affects timing.
