TseiTung's shock forces are in minority. Lin's liberation army daily directed the 2.5-million-man armed forces to stamp out Mao's enemies "with the gun." The Army Daily said the minority role of Mao's forces was only temporary and that the 73- year-old Communist chairman himself had issued "a vital call" for military help.

(AP) University of Michigan scientists are studying data radioed to earth from six payloads hurled high above the earth during a flurry of rocket activity. Six Nike-Tomahawk rockets sped away from a Cape Kenne-, dy launch site during a 16-hour psriod Tuesday to investigate a of space where most satellites and manned spacecraft travel. The payloads reached of 240 miles before plunging back to earth.

The region studied is called the thermosphere, extend'ng from 75 to 230 m'les high. The payloads recorded particle den- sitv, temperatures, pressures and wind variations information that could help in predicting how Ions a satellite can remain in orbit. Angelo J. Taiani, project director for the National Aeronautics and Space Administration, reported good signals were received from all six probes during their nine-minute flights. Two other research rockets were launched Tuesday by the But wall newspapers in Peking, reported by Japanese correspondents, said that Pro-Liu "red flag guards" and another anti-Mao organization took over a military barracks, the provincial government offices and Communist headquarters Changsha, capital of Mao's native hunan province, after clashes with the army Jan.

The editorial in the liberation Army Daily hinted at resistance within the military to throwing the massive power of the army into what began as a political and ideological conflict between Mao and and party officials headed by President Liu Shao-Chi. "Some people use 'nonintervention' as a pretext to suppress the masses in reality," it said. "This is absolutely impermissible.

the question is not whether or not to intervene, but which side to stand on." The paper said the army had 'been called into action because bf "the new situation" in Mao's purge, which was extended at the turn of the year to factories, mines and the countryside. Under the changed circumstances, it said, "It is not possible for the people's liberation army to refrain fron intervention." Recalling the quotation "poli- tical power grows out of the barrel of a gun," the editorial said: "The political power of the proletariate seized by the people's army with the gun has be defended by the people's army with the gun, too. Active reactionaries and counterrevolutionary organizations sabotaging the great proletarian cultural revolution must be resolutely suppressed and the dictatorship of the proletariat practiced over them." The army until this week had net been tiifiist directly into the Mao-Liu confrontation, and the call to it suggested that Mao's attempt to wrest control of the government', and the party organization was still running into heavy going.

The resolution said the regents' action "constitutes a damaging surrender to political pressures on the affairs of the university." Students at several of the other University of California campuses met during the clay to plan ways to protest Kcrr's dismissal.

By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS At least six persons were killed and hundreds injured by tornadoes in Missouri, Iowa and Illinois. The violence erupted Tuesday as the Midwest basked in springlike weather that sent the temperatures soaring into the mid-70s. It happened when 'a cold air mass collided with the unseasonably'Warm air. A teen-age boy and two young girls were killed in Missouri and a 3-year-old boy died in Iowa. A policeman in Chicago and a farmer in downstate Illinois also died as a result of the fierce winds.

Damage was heaviest in the Kansas City, St. Louis and Orrick, areas where trees were uprooted, power lines felled, roofs caved in or were ripped off buildings, and various structures were demolished. "I just heard the window blinds shaking and sounds like something falling," B.M. Carpenter, superintendent of schools at Orrick, Mo. School clocks found amid the -debris had stopped at 12:52 p.m.

The Orrick High School took the brunt of the first tornado reported. One student was killed and 14 other students, a teacher and two townspeople were injured. Danny Gene Barber, 18, a senior died in the main corridor of the school. He apparently was suffocated under rubble from the school's roof which fell on him as he left his typing class. "Glass was flying everywhere," said 17-year-old Faye Elliott, a classmate of Barber's.

Then it was over and all we could hear was the rain." The storm front, gathering stjsngth, spread over a wide aria. Tornadoes ripped into sections of southeastern Iowa and killed 3-year-old Byron Swyter on the western outskirts of Fort Madison when one of the twisters wrecked a converted school house in Which he and his family lived. A number of persons were injured in Iowa and damage was widespread. About six hours after Orrick was struck, the massive storm pushed, into the St. Louis urea with golf-ball size hail, heavy rains and lightning.

The storm also bore a twister ivhich hit the heavily populated St. Louis County area, leaving two children dead, more ban 200 injured, and property damage that officials said would run into the tens of thousands of dollars. Mike Clarkson, 16, was standing in his front yard with his mother, Norm a Clarkson. "The wind just lifted her up and slammed her into a post." Mrs. Clarkson was among 25 known jl' crude devices attached to vessels and set off with a timing device, the Navy said.

'We don't know where the contact mine was assembled," said Capt. Paul Gray of St. John, assistant chief of naval operations in Vietnam. "It could have been assembled any place. Judging from the barnacles and other signs, we think it may have been kept hidden in a river in the Rung Sat special zone, then towed into the Long Tau." The Rung Sat special zone is an area of rivers, canals, salt marshes and swamps south of Saigon from which the Viet Cong have launched many tacks on shipping heading river toward the capital.

Several intensive military operations have been staged in the region recently, but progress has been slow. Gray said a minesweeping boat cut the big mine's anchor line Dec. 31 and the mine bobbed to the surface. It was towed to the shore, and Lt. Frank Talarico, Red Bank, N.J., set about disarming it.

A Stern spokesman said the cuts amounted to 122 lines out-of a total of 7,911 in the Germjan serialization of William Manchester's book about the assassination of President Kennedy: The cuts, he said, affected only passages dealing with wljat Mrs. Kennedy had told chester and her "personal concerns" at the time of the assassination. But, he added, Stern has -no intention of submitting what he called the "political censorship of Sen. Robert F.

Kennedy." Stern's cuts are not identical with those of Look and other magazines to which Look had foreign rights, the spokesmanHsaid. Henri Nannen, editor in chief of Stern, sent a telegram to Mrs. Kennedy, saying: "What I could, not do under either political syi- sorship or pressure of legal actions I gladly do voluntarily. The next Stern issue of William Manchester's 'Death of a will not contain the personal passages you object to. I am sorry to have caused you displeasure." Stern said Nannen got a quick reply from Mrs.

Kennedy, thanking him. Three Stern installments of the series already have appeared that have included ma- trial that Mrs. Kennedy wanted cut. to have been, hospitalized over- night in the area. She suffered heaa Most of the 200 suffered cuts and bruises and were treated and released.

The dead at St. Louis were Dianne Schlegel, 4, of suburban Creve Coeur, and Jcri Allison Cannady, 6, of St. Louis County. 'I spent about two hours in the river working on it," said Talarico, a 21-year Navy veteran and a demolitions expert. "I it mighty easy, you know, was quite a New Year's iEve." Gray said the mine would be sent to the United States for study.

"It's a constant fight to keep the channel open," said Gray, a Navy airman who was shot down five times in the Korean War. Lani Bird Gets First Japan, ILS.
