statistics 10 Kokomo (Ind.) Tribune Tuesday, May 23, 1989 Student leaders sense intense political struggle BEIJING (AP) Student leaders, sensing an intense political struggle in the government over their huge protest, decided today to continue the massive demonstrations that have paralyzed the capital. Despite exhaustion and some thinning of ranks. hundreds of thousands of people defied martial law for a fifth straight day and stayed in the streets of Beijing and Tiananmen Square. Similiar crowds were reported in Shanghai, China's a largest city. Rumor and innuendo filled Beijing.

Reports said that conservative Premier Li Peng and the more liberal Communist Party chief, Zhao Ziyang, were battling for control. Authorities today lifted a martial law ban on foreign network coverage of the Beijing protests and satellite feeds resumed. Television transmissions had been cut Saturday. The famed portrait of Mao Tse-tung in Tiananmen Square was splattered with paint today as hundreds of thousands of students, intellectuals and workers marched nearby, demanding Li step down. The vandalism of Mao's gigantic portrait with red, black and blue paint by two young men was akin to blasphemy and an isolated incident in a remarkably peaceful popular rebellion that has galvanized much of the country.

A Chinese journalist who saw the attack said the two, wearing the white headbands of student protesters, were seized by students. Workers later covered the painting with a tarp. The student movement, launched last month with marches and class boycotts demanding democratic reforms, and an end to official corruption, has won such widespread popular support as to tame martial law, which Li declared in Beijing on Saturday. Today's march in the square was at least the third such huge outpouring of support for the students in a week. Marchers called for the resignation of Li, senior leader Deng Xiaoping and President Yang Shangkun.

Intellectuals from the Chinese Academy of Sciences led the protest, accusing Li of staging a military coup in his struggle with Zhao, whom they support. Li apparently acted on orders of the 84- year-old Deng. "People unite and break the militaristic coup," read one poster. "Bury the cult of the individual. End old people's politics," read another.

A bus designed by the Central Academy of Fine Arts broadcast for a free press. A painting on the bus showed red lips crisscrossed by two rifles. "'We will not be silenced," read one slogan. In Shanghai, tens of thousands of students and workers marched in support of their Beijing collegaues, calling for Li's resignation, according to Jason Hurtado, a professor at the city's Fudan university. Throughout the day, about 200,000 city residents milled around expectantly.

Overnight, student leaders printed and distributed thousands of posters and pamphlets calling for workers to support students and people gathered around to read the inscriptions. In the capital, subways reopened and many bus lines running, after a tense weekend in which hundreds of thousands of people spontaneously set up roadblocks to protect the students from troops.

Lake Chicago 60601- Paint splatters mar portrait of Chairman Mao, which looks over Tiananmen Square in Beijing (AP photo) military and Communist Party leaders have opposed using troops to crack down on the students and soldiers kept their distance. The Beijing television news reported that one soldier was killed when another military vehicle struck his.

It was the first confirmed death since Li declared martial law. A spokesman for the newly established Martial Law Enforcement Headquarters said some soldiers have been critically injured from "abuse and beatings" by local residents, but gave no numbers or details. The party newspaper, the People's Daily, quoted an unidentified colonel as saying the troops "have been greatly humiliated." Student leaders met today and decided, despite the exodus of thousands of demonstrators who are returning to their schools, to continue their occupation of the square that is China's symbolic center of power. "I voted that we should go back because many of the Beijing students are already leaving," said Gua Haifeng, a student leader from Beijing University. "But the student union insists on struggling until the end.

They want to see the government fall." More than half of the protesters on the square hail from outside Beijing. "We just couldn't leave," said a student from Lanzhou, a western city about 750 miles from Beijing. "Tiananmen Square is the center of our student movement. If it died, movement in Lanzhou and all around China would die, too." forecasts 3 2 55 to 60. Mostly sunny Wednesday.
