China forgets politics to praise the ordinary worker News Capsule By JOHN E. WOODRUFF Hong Kong Bureau of The Sun Hong Kong Chen Chen-hai has worked very diligently as a lathe-turner in China's Liaoning province for 20 years. That is all he has done. At least that is all the New China News Agency said he had done when it published a 500 word article yesterday praising his "diligence and frugality." In the nation A United States Court of Appeals restored Senator George McGovern's 151 disputed California delegates, virtually assuring his first-ballot nomination at next week's Democratic convention Page Al Top government officials and executives of the nation's large supermarket chains met to discuss the rise in meat prices but remained pessimistic about any prompt relief Page Al fact, appears to have been through his lathe. There is no question that the article itself will be recognized as news by factory foremen and party officials all over China, for the story of Mr.

Chen represents an extreme. New China News Agency It may well be the first story since the early days of the Great Proletarian Cultural Revolution in which an exemplary worker has not been cited as also a student of the thoughts of Mao or a contributor to the struggle between the two lines. But the extreme is one that was bound to be reached sooner or later as China emerged from the political turmoil of the cultural revolution and the rigid orthodoxy that followed it Into the production-oriented order that now was needed only as a passing aspect of the cultural revolution and was scheduled to be de-emphasized. That dismantling has included the removal of plaster busts of the chairman from many places in China, less prominence for the red badges with the chairman's picture that were once worn everywhere, and fewer and fewer hands filled with the little red book of Chairman Mao's thoughts. How much farther the leadership will or can go in relaxing the extent to which it "puts politics in command" without surrendering the stated goals of the cultural revolution remains to be seen.

But the seemingly unexceptional story of Chen Chen-hai suggests that China's leaders may be preparing to go considerable farther than has previously been suspected. For the party and factory leaders to whom it is principally aimed, the story will carry a message that can only come as a welcome relief to many. That message is that it is now possible for a worker to win approval by simply doing his job exceptionally well, regardless of whether he joins in the political struggles that seem to be continuing in much of China. Dismantling Mao cult It is a message that is the culmination, for China's millions of factory hands, of the gradual but extensive easing of the extreme orthodoxy that demanded as recently as two years ago that political concerns come first. The story also represents the continuing dismantling of the cult of Mao, which the chair- man himself has told visitors the chairman's revolutionary line.

Mr. Chen not only has had no recorded political enemies to defeat but has not even suffered from the sickness or physical handicap that many of China's post-cultural revolution exemplary workers have had to overcome. Using same lathe Neither did he die saving state-owned sheep from a raging river as one northeast China schoolgirl did last year, according to a story typical of the commonplace news agency account of human life sacrificed to save state property. Instead, for nine paragraphs, Mr. Chen was praised for using the same lathe for 20 years, for maintaining "its high precision standard, without a single dent or spot of rust."
