Relaxed and smiling, Nixon chat ted briefly with reporters before tak ing an official limousine to one of Peking’s numerous guest houses for foreign dignitaries. “This is my third visit to China,” Nixon said. T look forward to meet ing again those leaders I met before, and meeting some of the other lead ers whom I have not met. “The purpose of my visit is to be brought up to date on the relations between the two countries, and to he able to see what progress is being made, and will be made in the fu ture, Nixon said. Nixon is expected to confer with Chinese Vice Premier Deng Xiaop ing, and possibly with Premier and Communist Party Chairman Hua Guofeng. Nixon said he thought his visit, which is expected to last four days, “will demonstrate that in the elec tion campaign (in the United States) which is beginning to heat up that (China) is one issue on which, with very few exceptions, there will not be a division between the two par ties. “It is vital to the peace we are all working for and the peace we all want.” Before leaving Hong Kong Nixon predicted a close race for the Dem ocratic nomination. He said Presi dent Carter “has some very serious problems. But, I think he is a fighter. I wouldn’t sell him short.” “We will have to see if Senator , (Edward) Kennedy wants to fight — 1 or just talk,” he said.

BUD WARD VOLKSWAGEN) "ONE STOP SHOPPING FOR ALL YOUR AUDIO A VIDEO NEEDS" “There were rumors at high levels that four people were killed in shooting in the People’s Palace Fri day,” one visitor from Kabul said.| “There were also rumors Taraki was shot and injured. ” The reports could not be confirmed by diplomatic sources who also had heard them. Taraki resigned Sunday citing health and asked Amin to take over, television and radio reports con trolled by Kabul said. Taraki and Amin had no visible differences in ideology, religion or their loyalty to Moscow, diplomatic sources said. Both are hard-line Marxists, heav ily dependent on Moscow andj moderate Moslems. But diplomatic sources said the power struggle between the two was evident shortly after the military coup that put them in power. Amin, who became foreign minis ter when Taraki overthrew and killed President Mohammad Daoud in April 1978, virtually took control of the country in March, when Taraki named him first minister. Amin, who is known to be both ambitious and ruthless, was scheduled to speak to the nation Monday evening. “In view of the relationship be tween them (Taraki and Amin), it is safe to say that Taraki s resignation is the upshot of a personal power struggle,” said one analyst.
