Chou's 5 Principles of Bandung Reiterated in Nixon Talks the cultural revolution that turned the party and government structure inside out in a vast purge. That purge has been succeeded by others, the most recent of which struck at the highest levels, toppling Lin Piao, the defense minister and Mao's assigned heir. His fall seemed directly concerned with resistance to the idea of receiving the U.S. president on Chinese soil. True, China doesn't want to go to war with the United States.

Since Korea it never has. But Mao and Chou have said so explicitly. But the five principles of coexistence did not preclude another sort of conflict. Although the principles pledged China to stay out of others' affairs, China was, for example, directly involved in Indonesia in a 1965 Communist attempt to take over that vast island nation. The attempt blew up because of miscalculations and resulted in the destruction of a Chinese-oriented party.

The five principles did not dissuade Peking from supporting, as it still does, "Thai Patriotic Front," a "Malaysian Liberation League," and other such orga- the Chinese-dominated Indonesian party suffered its debacle, Peking's response was to declare that the Indonesia party "learned with profound understanding the inevitable truth of the great leader Chairman Mao that political power grows out of thebarrelofagun." In view of the experience of Indonesia and India, to say nothing of other Asian countries, there will be some speculation about Peking's future intentions, and, in the West, about how much of the current Chinese attitude is dictated by tactics and present urgent necessities. nizations with headquarters in China. The principles did not stop Peking from sending logistic support, labor troops and munitions to Laos and Vietnam or from interfering in Cambodia's internal politics, nor from actively supporting violent Maoists in India and Burma. Perhaps Red China's support of violence externally was dictated by fear of the United States. The idea of a U.S.

military disengagement from the mainland could provide Peking with an opportunity to uphold the five principles. But some will recall uneasily that when in AP News Analysis By WILLIAM L.RYAN AP Special Correspondent This was Chou En-Iai speaking: "The, Chinese people are friendly to the American people and do not want a war with the United States. The Chinese government is willing to sit down and enter into negotiations with the United States to discuss relaxation of tension in the Far East and specifically in the Taiwan area." The Chinese Communist premier spoke those words 17 years ago. Recalling them, leaders in other nations of Asia may entertain some nagging misgivings about what went on between Chou and President Nixon. Back in Washington after his meetings with Chou and Mao Tse-tung, the President reported that he agreed with the Peking leaders on "some rules of international conduct which will reduce the risk of confrontation in Asia and the Pacific." The two pledged themselves to "conduct their relations on the principles of respect for sovereignty and territorial integrity of all states, nonaggression against other states, noninterference in the internal affairs of other states, equality and mu 1968 National Convention Delegates i WOMEN Wallace In the Forefront, Then Fades in Crystal Ball UNDER 30 (21-29) Voice of Broadway By Jack O'Brian By TOM BRADEX WASHINGTON There are few cer-tainities in politics, but that caveat out of the way, here is a guess about the politics around the corner of this election year.

First, George Wallace will do very well in the early primaries. He should win in Florida, in North Carolina and in Tennessee. He may even take Indiana if his only opposition is Indiana Sen. Vance Hartke. He will do well in Michigan and he could take Maryland.

The Democrats will be frightened out of their wits. Fright will cause another boom of speculation about Sen. Edward M. Kennedy D- Mass. It will be argued that Kennedy is the only nominee wno could hold the blue-collar vote for the Democrats.

Those polls which showed large numbers of Robert Kennedy voters in 1968 switching to Wallace will be trotted out again. Once more we shall hear that astonishing and true story about the poll at the Iowa State Fair in which those questioned expressed a preference for Kennedy over Lyndon Johnson and when asked why, replied with such shockers as "He'll win the war" and "He'll keep the Negroes in their place." Kennedy will not rise to the speculation. His advisers not his staff are solid on the proposition that he must stay out. He will go on as he is now, deriving pleasure from hard work and amusement from counting the number of invitations to speak which he will continue to receive from people who canceled him out immediately after Chappaquiddick. In his determination to stay out, Kennedy will be helped by the later primaries during which the fear of Wallace will fade.

Oregon, California and New York will not be Wallace states. Muskie will get the Democratic nomination. Wallace will walk out either to crank up his third party again or to support Richard Nixon. There will be a youth party aimed at the student vote which Muskie will not be able to gain. The senator from Maine will not bring himself to support legalization of mari tual benefit and peaceful coexistence." Those are, word for word, the same "five principles of coexistence" that were much in the news 17 years ago when Chou represented China at an Asian-African conference in Bandung, Indonesia.

Chou was a chief advocate there of the five principles. Only a short time before the Bandung meeting, Chou had met in India with Prime Minister Jawaharlal Nehru. Both endorsed those same "five principles of peaceful coexistence." They also agreed that the United States was a colonialist menace to Asia. That was seven or eight years before China and India went to war over their border dispute. Their relations remain bad to this day.

Chou made his remarks about eagerness for peace with the United States at a time when Red China was weak. It had not recovered from the upheavals that followed the revolution. Also, it had spent much energy and resources at war against the Americans in Korea. It was in a poor situation to invite risks. Today the Chinese again are in no situation to take risks.

By and large, convention delegates tend to be white, male, over age 30, and more affluent than the average party member. Both parties have taken steps aimed at increasing the representation of women, young people, and minority groups at the 1972 conventions. The Republicans have made 10 recommendations to this end.

The Democrats, in contrast, have adopted a set of delegate-selection guidelines that are binding on all state party organizations. Early indications are that this year's Democratic delegates will be more representative of the party as a whole than those of previous years. Some observers believe that the convention system is so outmoded as to be beyond reform and that it should be replaced by nationwide party primaries. The case for a national primary to choose presidential candidates rests on two assertions. First, it is held that better candidates will be chosen through a popular election than by an assembly of party delegates.

Second, selection through the primary is held to be more democratic. A national primary, however, would seem to have serious and perhaps fatal disadvantages. Multiple entries might make it impossible for any candidate to win a clear majority. Even if a runoff were held between the two top contenders, there is no assurance that they would not represent the extreme positions in the party, while a more moderate contender everyone's second choice but no one's first choice would be eliminated. The prospect, then, is that the convention system will continue to be an integral part of the nation's political life.

Not even its staunchest supporters would argue that the system is perfect or perfectible. Although flawed and jerry-built, it is durable and durability is a major test of success in politics.

And so we will go down to the wire with Muskie versus Nixon, and here the crystal ball is cloudy. With Wallace hammering from one side and McCarthy from another, it is difficult to see how Muskie can win. Yet one of the few certainties in politics is that Richard Nixon, like Lyndon Johnson before him, needs constant hat tricks to retain popularity. Six months from now, as he gets ready to face the electorate, the President's China trip will no longer sustain him. Six months ago, Nixon announced wage-and-price controls.

Immediately he shot up 5 points in the polls. Three months later, he was back where he had started. The trip to China should give him a similar boost. Almost as certainly, a similar falling off will succeed the boost. One of Sen.

Muskie's aides, the able young attorney, Milton Gwirtzman, is working on a study of press treatment of candidates during presidential campaigns. A major point which emerges from the Gwirtzman analysis is the fallaciousness of editorials which announce that such and such an act a veto, a trip, a television broadcast "will have an impact on the election" four, five or six months off. Gwirtzman found no time certain in which events can influence elections. But he is inclined to the view that unless the events strike fear in the electroate as for example the riots which took place in American cities during the summer of 1968 anything which happens a month before an election counts for nothing compared to what happens the week the polls open. An incumbent President can make events as Nixon has proved with the China trip much more easily than he can prevent them.

(Copyright, 1972) communications. "There is a real question," Whitehead said, "as to whether public television, particularly the national federally funded part of public television, should be carrying public affairs, news commentary and that sort of thing." Whitehead argued that commercial networks, by and large, "do a quite good job in thatarea" a conclusion that may not have been cleared with Vice President Agnew. THE NEW YORKER called Whitehead's statement "arrogant" and said it implied that Public Broadcasting news "is to be dismissed, at the time we need it most (in an election year), by a wave of a White House hand." The White House decided last fall that it could do without public broadcasting's brand of journalism. The proximate cause of the flap was disclosure that former network TV correspondent Sander Van-ocur had been hired at $85,000 a year by National Public Affairs Center for Television. This newly created agency receives more than half its money from the federal government.

Vanocur was a close associate of the Kennedy family and an outspoken critic of President Nixon's policies. It may be no coincidence that the administration now is balking at legislation that would guarantee long-range federal financing of public television. Whitehead says long-range financing should be deferred because "the relationships between central organizations and local stations are still relatively unclear." And he wants a more substantial share of the Corporation for Public Broadcasting's funds to be passed on to local stations. Financing public television'by one annual appropriation after another keeps its programming in a political bind. Lester Markel argues that Public TV, like the British Broadcasting Corporation, "will be free of pressures only when it is funded on a continuing basis not $25 or $30 million a year, but $100 or $150 million raised through a tax on television sets or some similar device." Until that day arrives, however, the Corporation for Public Broadcasting will have to operate with one eye on its business and the other on its critics.

At the PBS directors' meeting in Washington on March 6 the directors will be asked, in effect, to buy a little time by appointing an experienced journalist to coordinate public affairs programming and by creating a 12-member advisory panel to evaluate the programs. Some observers fear public broadcasting may be in for an era of "committee journalism." But the alternative could be no journalism at all. -WILLIAM B. DICKINSON JR.

Convention Outsurvives WASHINGTON No American political institution is more maligned or less understood than the national nominating convention. Americans as well as foreigners are alternately fascinated, baffled and repelled by the unique way in which nominees for President of the United States are chosen. And yet the convention system has endured for 141 years without fundamental change and gives every indication of lasting indefinitely. In a sense, the 1972 conventions already have begun. In precinct caucuses, in county, district and state conventions, and in primary elections beginning March 7 in New Hampshire, Democrats and Republicans are choosing or shortly will choose convention delegates.

The culmination of the process will come when the Democrats assemble at Miami Beach on July 10 and the Republicans at San Diego on Aug. 21 to adopt party platforms and select nominees for President and Vice President. Curiously, the U.S. Constitution made no provision for presidential nomination, and the process even today is governed by party rule and custom. The framers of the Constitution believed that the presidential electors, chosen by state legislatures, would be eminent citizens who would survey the field and select the best-qualified man.

The absence of any nominating procedure caused no difficulty in the first two elections, when George Washington was unanimously recognized as the logical choice for President. By the time Washington retired, however, it was no longer a question of the office seeking the man. Strong party divisions had developed, and there was vigorous competition for the presidency. To engage in the competition with any hope of success required concentration of party strength behind a single candidate. A means to that end was found in the congressional caucus.

But the disappearance of the Federalist Party and the rise of Jacksonian popular democracy sounded the death knell of "King Caucus." The first national nominating conventions were held in 1831-32. Since 1836, all major-party presidential nominations have been by convention. A few conventions have proved to be turning points in the country's political life. Those of 1831-32 merit this distinction, if only because they were the first. Precedents were established then that endure to this day.

Perhaps the most important of these was the allocation of votes among the states on the basis of representation in the electoral college. In addition, the Anti-Masonic and National Republican conventions of 1831 each adopted an "address to the people" in effect, a party platform. The conventions of 1860 saw the Republicans transform themselves from a third party into a major party the only political group ever to do so. At the same time, the Democrats became hopelessly split on the slavery issue. Thus, the net result of the 1860 conventions was to make the GOP the nation's dominant party for decades.

Another landmark convention year came in 1896. By nominating William Jennings Bryan and adopting a policy of free coinage of silver, the Democrats became identified as the party more amenable to social change. The Republicans, on the other hand, chose to defend the gold standard and thus augment their reputation as the party of big business. The basic defect of the American convention system, English historian D.W. Brogan has written, "is the imperfectly GOP DEM.

On the television end, the goal of a "fourth national network" would be scrapped. Commercial television is accused of being beholden to advertisers. But Madison Avenue pressures are modest compared to the heat on public TV that comes from nervous congressmen and government officials.
