GUARDS SEE MAO
Brief Visit In Peking
(N.Z.P.A.-Reuter—Copyright) HONG KONG, October 19. The Chinese Communist Party chairman, Mao Tse-tung made a fleeting appearance yesterday in his fourth meeting with Red Guards in Peking in two months.
As on previous occasions, the 73-year-old leader did not speak to the 1.5 million Red Guards, revolutionary teachers and students who had gathered in Tienanmen square from early morning. There was speculation in Hong Kong that Mao had ignored Red Guard appeals to hear him speak more from political expediency than from ill-health.
