Hua says civil war would have erupted TOKYO (AP) Communist party Chairman Hua Kuo-feng says that if the radicals led by Mao widow had not been suppressed there would have been major civil and foreign aggression in China, the official news agency Hsinhua reported today. Hua told a Christmas Day session of the National Agricultural Conference that 1977 would see the total destruction of the radicals and the restoration of order, Hsinhua said in a broadcast monitored here. The 56-year-old Chinese leader also said there would be a party cleanup next year because widow, Chiang Ching, and her supporters recruited new party members in violation of the party constitution, improperly promoted Argo Merchonf questioning continuing NEW YORK (AP) Questioning of the skipper of the Argo Merchant oil tanker resumed today in federal court here in a continuing attempt to show that the owners knew the vessel was not seaworthy before it ran aground off Nantucket Island on Dec. 15. Douglas Jacobsen, an attorney for Continental Insurance which is seeking $2.3 million in damages to cover the cost of 7,5 millions gallons of oil that were spilled at sea, resumed questioning designed to prove that the navigation equipment was chronically defective.

Prior to the resumption with the questioning of Capt. George Papadopoulos, Jacobson and an attorney for the Thebes Shipping owner of the Argo Merchant, met in chambers with the federal magistrate, Sol Schreiber. Papadopoulos had testified Monday at the U.S. District Court hearing that the Liberian tanker was 24.5 miles off course when she foundered on shoals, eventually split in two and spilled 7.5 million gallons of heavy oil into the sea. A skipper for nine years, the 43-year-old Papadopoulous said the gyrocompass was not working when the accident occurred and the ship was being steered by a less reliable compass.

Meanwhile, spills from two other Liberian tankers were being battled, and the explosion that wrecked another was blamed on a spark of unknown origin. Marcus Hook, at least 134,000 gallons of oil spewed Monday into the Delaware River from the tanker Olympic Games. Crews used booms to block nearby creeks to protect against damage from the oil. The tanker which reportedly was carrying 17 million gallons of crude oil had run aground during a docking maneuver at a refinery 15 miles downriver from Philadelphia, the Thames River in Connecticut, the Coast Guard managed to contain 1,900 of the 2,000 gallons that spilled from the Oswego-Peace. But the remaining oil in the Thames had coated as many as 100 waterfowl, and globs of oil reached rocks along the eastern bank of the river.

The oil, used to fuel the ship itself, apparently leaked from a crack in the hull Friday as the ship unloaded 250,000 barrels of heating oil at Amerada Hess Co. yard near Groton. Coast Guard board heard evidence Monday in Long Beach, that the explosion that destroyed the Sansinen and killed at least four crewmen was caused by a spark that ignited a cloud of gases from the cargo tanks. cadres and put into top party positions. Hua branded the of Chiang Ching and Politburo members Wang Hungwen, and Chang Chun-chiao as enemies of the people.

But the chairman said those who supported the radicals be treated on the merit of each and would be once they make a clean breast of their part in the conspiracy before the party and the Hua said there must be a climate in China which allows minority criticism. He said provincial and municipal congresses would be held next year. Hua said nothing about a national congress session, but one would presumably follow the lower level meetings. Hsinhua first reported excerpts from speech Monday and followed today with a broadcast in great detail. Hua disclosed that besides suffering devastating earthquakes, China had been stricken in 1976 by drought in some areas, too much rain in others, early frost other Hsinhua said.

The July quake in northeast China a loss of lives and property that is rarely seen in he said, but he did not give any figures. Some unofficial reports from outside observers have said casualties may have been in the tens of thousands. It was in these trying times, Hua said, that the radicals tried to usurp party and state leadership. their scheme have he said, would have led to a great retrogression and split in our party and country and touched off a major civil war. They would have directly capitulated to (U.S.) imperialism and (Soviet) social-imperialism, relying on the bayonet to prop up their throne and there would have been both internal strife and foreign Referring to the arrest on charges of treason of the four radicals in October, he said issue was settled without firing a single shot or shedding a drop of Potrol plons pilot project involving CBs JEFFERSON CITY, Mo.

Trautman, Route 2. Cape Town patrols are reinforced CAPE TOWN, South Africa (AP) Police reinforcements were airlifted to Cape Town today to patrol black townships where militants and migrant workers have fought each other in bloody street battles for three days. Police reportedly shot and killed two blacks in Langa township during the night when a stone-throwing crowd of 500 persons attacked their patrol vehicles. Twenty-four persons were killed in weekend rioting in Guguletu and Nyanga townships. The fighting and widespread arson first erupted Christmas night because the migrant workers, mostly Baca tribesmen from the newly independent Transkei district, had resisted the call for a holiday boycott of shopping and celebrations.

Black youths attacked bachelor hostels where the migrant workers live and the workers retaliated by burning the homes of the militants, police said. At least 106 persons were injured, many in hand-to-hand fighting between the two groups. Police opened fire several times during the rioting, but it was not known how many of the casualties were hit by the gunfire. With fresh police units being flown in from the capital of Pretoria today, authorities said order generally had been restored to the townships. The violence began to ebb late Monday night and early today after senior police officers brought together leaders of the opposing factions in an effort to end the clashes.

An estimated 5,000 residents fled Nyanga, which bore the brunt of the rioting, on Monday. The refugees pushed overloaded carts and rode on cars and trucks carrying their furniture and other belongings. Some houses in the ed districts were later set afire. A spokesman for the Bantu Administration Board, the government agency responsible for black affairs, said 81 houses, five small hostels and 14 vehicles had been detroyed by fire. The latest deaths brought to at least 395 the unofficial death toll in six months of racial violence in South Africa.

Almost all were nonwhites and most were killed by police gunfire..
