The Russians may be attempting to curry fayori with Mao's opponents in case the outs come to power. C-C Whatever Moscow's objective, one thing is quite clear to some of the analysts who watch the ins aid outs of Soviet policy: VX The heavy-handed Russian "attempts at interference in Chinese4 domestic policies indicates strongly the Russians have given upJ hope of any rapproachment with China so long as Mao is the head of the Peking government. This would be a decision of to incite the army to revolt.

rSome broadcasts play to the fears of China's army officers. They assert Qiao's army purges will not stop with the top men. They predict hundreds of thousands of "high and middle ranking commanders" will be replaced or persecuted. Some appeal to the army's patriotism. These broadcasts assert that Mao is causing disunity within China, that Mao's policies are a direct threat to the country, and that therefore Mao must be stopped.

Now it is certainly true that Mao is already having some difficulties with his army. ripprfr Hong Kong indicate' some serious difficulties between the army, local party officials and the people in quite a number of localities.

On either Monday, July 10, orr Tuesday, July 11, the convention delegates in Miami Beach will vote 7m a proposal to hold policy making conventions in the even-numbered years between presidential elections. The purpose of the off-year conventions would be to keep the party's platform abreast of changing circumstances Rep I Donald M.

Fraser (D the chair- man of the Democratic reform com-; mission mat drafted the proposal, pointed put last May that an off-year convention in 1966 would have provided a forum for antiwar sentiment The party might thus have averted the deep schism on the Viet I Nam war that divided its 1968 nominating I convention. In contrast to certain other Democratic reform proposals, the off-year convention idea breaks no new ground. As far back as Af a READERS' FORUM among army officers in one I the greatest importance to the year conventions in the early 1950s. In the 1950 congressional election campaign, the Democrats and the Republicans each issued restatements of party principles and goals to guide their respective can" didates. And the first All-Republican Conference, held in 1962 at former President Eisenhower's farm in Gettysburg, set itself up as a permanent body to advise GOP officeholders.

Little more was heard of the' conference, however. Perhaps little will come of the Democrats' proposal for off-year conventions, too. But with reform sentiment running strong in the party this year, the past may be a poor guide to the future. A big factor in whether the proposed 1974 convention would or would not succeed is the outcome of mis year's presidential election. If the Democratic candidate wins the White House, an off-year convention would likely be window-dressing only.

Presidents like to run the party themselves. If the GOP's President Nixon wins a second term, however, the Democrats' extra convention might take on real meaning.

Populism McGovern Style AGAINST SECOND MILLAGE ELECTION Editor: School millage increase was turned down on June 12 and now another millage vote is being set after the voters have more time to "understand the issue." Why is "understanding the issue" always a one way proposition? That is, if the voter doesn't approve the millage proposal, he is told that he doesn't understand the needs, of education. The present structure of public education is like a massive, over-elaborate machine which consumes a tremendous amount of fuel merely to 'keep itself going. True, a few million more dollars would keep the system a while longer, but to what purpose?

11 A great deal has been heard in recent weeks about George McGovern as the candidate of the Little Man, and about his Midwestern "Populism," and it-is true that he did at one point put forward a program for income "redistribution." But now that some arithmetic has been done, McGovern has dropped that idea like a hot potato and even Tom Wicker doesn't believe in it any more. There has always been something odd about the idea of Ignatius Donnelly," the' Minnesota politician who drafted the 1892 Populist Party platform, or like William Jennings Bryan, the Golden-tongued Orator of the Platte and antagonist of booze and Darwin, who ran for President on the Democratic ticket as a genuine Populist. Furthermore, for its professional expertise, the McGovern operation is organizally linked to the old Kennedy apparatus, as the presence of Frank Mankiewicz and Plucky Pierre Salinger amply suggests.

Any number of sharp people have earned highly respectable incomes demonstrating that the fall of the cards, has nothing to do with a good bridge game. In the past few days Bobby Fischer, America's foremost grand master in chess, has demonstrated that holdout football stars and striking baseball players have nothing on him. Following weeks, months even, of negotiations akiri to Henry Kissinger's cloak and dagger jaunts to Red China, the International Chess Association arranged a world championship match between Bobby and Boris Spassky, the Russian who's held the titlist crown since 1969.

The plan first called for the two' geniuses to play 12 games at Reykjavik, Iceland's capital, and another dozen in Belgrade, Yugoslavia's capital. The Association dropped this schedule because Fischer objected to the gate1 guaranteed by the Belgrade people. It set 24 games entirely at Reykjavik where the prize money was raised to $125,000, winner taking 60 per cent." Sunday was to have been the starting date. Spassky moved to Reykjavik two weeks preceding the opener. Fischer delayed his announced departure until this past Thursday.

Instead the American champ went into hiding and did not leave until Sunday, and not until the sweepstakes had been doubled. James Slater, a London millionaire put up the extra money. He told reporters the price was worth it to a chess buff. The pot sweetened to his liking, Fischer said he was ready to sit dawn to the table onthe Fourth This failed to suit Spassky who declared Bobby had insulted him and all of Russia by the delaying tactics. Though the Russian did not refer publicly to Uncle Sam's birthday, it may well be that the Kremlin ordered him to skip an Independence Day starter.

The two intellectuals are supposed to begin dueling today. Nick thfGreelc has wisely steered clear from handicapping this Olympic version of mental gymnastics, but regardless of the outcome Bobby has already won out on the dramatics.
