Crises in World Affairs Made to Order for Mao; He Delights in Dissent By JOHN RODERICK Associated Press Writer TOKYO (AP) Mao Tse-tung has fought a hundred battles, but at 76 his apocalyptic vision of the world is undimmed. He surveys its violence and revolution and is happy. In a rare 700-word statement distributed by Peking's New China News Agency Wednesday, Chinese Communism's leader spoke out on international issues for the first time since April 16, 1968, when he expressed support for American blacks. Mao invokes the Vietnam war, the U.S. intervention in Cambodia, "the raging flames of the revolutionary mass movement" in the United States, Japanese "militarism." the revolutionary struggles of the Arabs and the peoples of North America, Europe and Oceania.

All, he says, "are developing vigorously." Then he says: "The danger of a new world war still exists and the people of all countries must get prepared. But revolution is the main trend in the world today." This is Mao's meat. He reacts to it like a war horse, nostrils dilated, ears pricked up at the gunpowder smells and explosions of battle. This near-ecstasy of the world's most famous surviving revolutionary has been kindled by the events in Cambodia and the riots, killings and mass demonstrations in the United States. The Cambodian crisis was made for him.

When the Cambodian parliament booted Prince Norodom Sihanouk out of his job on March 18, Mao had a windfall. An accident of time put the garrulous Cambodian leader in Janiec, who sustained injuries to the back and right arm. Police reported Janiec was driving east in Route 8 at Wevertown when he failed to negotiate a left curve and his car left the highway and struck a utility pole. The car careened off the pole, police said, and continued another 150 feet before overturning and skidding on its top an additional distance taking down a half-dozen guardrails in the process. The car, came.

to rest upside down and the driver was ejected, according to police. Trooper C. W. Redmond of the Chestertown substation investigated, assisted by Deputy Forrest Lilly of the Warren County Sheriff's Department. Janie was issued a summons for a motor vehicle law infraction.

The collision of a state-owned car and a pickup truck yesterday about 3:55 p.m. at Reynolds Corners, the junction of Routes 32 and 197 of Moreau, injured two persons. Treated and released from Glens Falls Hospital were James Major, 35, of Greenfield Center, who sustained a head injury, and Arthur White, 8, of Peters Gansevoort, head injury. Police said the accident occurred as the state ated by Major, was approaching the intersection from the east in Route 197, and the truck driven by Arthur White, 32, the father of the injured boy, was the Ganse- travelnorth in 32, voort Rd. Police, said a bus traveling east Route 197 obscured the vision of the drivers as White stopped his vehicle for the light at the intersection.

Police said White then pulled into the intersection, saw the oncoming state car and stopped. The car operated by Major struck the truck and then left the highway, overturning on its top. Churchmen Don't Condone Abortion ALBANY, N.Y.

Mao unveils no new ideas, advances no solutions. His only advice-keep on fighting: "A weak nation can defeat a strong, a small nation can defeat a Surprisingly, there is no mention of the Soviet Union in these 700 words on war and revolution. Has Mao softened his attitude toward 1 his dearest Communist enemy? The chances are unlikely.

Not after the polemic recently issued from Moscow. What the statement reveals more than anything else is the state of Mao's mind. To conquer China he fought in the field and at the conference table for half a century. Only last year, he capped an exhausting personal struggle to purge the country of his political foes. Most men who have lived and fought half as much would be ready to call it quits, to settle down in a rocking chair while younger men took over.

But for Mao, the road he began to tread so many years ago remains long and dark and deep. He will not be able to sleep until his dreams of revolution come true. of Class Confirmed in Christ Church, United Methodist Members of the Christ Church, United Methodist Confirmation Class were recently received into membership.

Sihanouk made common with the Communists of cause North Vietnam, Laos and South Vietnam. The Russians were caught flatfooted. Mao emerged as leader of Asian Communism. Moscow has not yet caught up. Peking was the first to recognize Sihanouk's new government-in-exile, and Mao's statement expressed warm support for its political and military aims: the overthrow of the Lon Nol regime in Phnom Penh.

The Soviet Union has yet to recognize, though, the as Sihanouk Mao govern- pointed out, 20 other nations did SO in the first 10 days of its existence. Mao's old eyes see American "imperialism slaughtering the white and black at home. He speaks of "Nixon's fascist atrocities" touching off "the raging flames of the revolutionary mass movement in the United States." Some of this is wishful thinking, of it self-deception. Mainly is an some, effort to persuade others that this is what is happening. Whatever situation, it gives him immense satisfaction.

"U.S. imperialism, which looks like a huge monster, is essence a paper tiger, now in the throes of its death struggle," Mao says. This is a well worn theme. For a paper tiger, the American monster is a long time dying: Mao predicted its last gasp 30 years ago. Then, in a flight of style which sets.
