By Stolen Taxi Thirty-one year old Barbara Bowman was run over by a stolen taxlcab, then slashed and stabbed In the neck near her Price Hill apartment early Sunday and police believe they may have a clue to the solution of three other strangulation slayings here this year. BY WILLIAM L. RYAN AP Special Correspondent Moa Tze-tung's "thinking" is in command in Red China today but is Mao Tze-tung? The answer may be no. China's Communists themselves nourish skepticism about Mao's health and position and feel speculation concerning a grim struggle for power.

Westmoreland ASKea ir tnere could oe connection between this and three other slayings, Cincinnati's Detective chief agreed, then added, "This could be it." The slaying of Miss Bowman resulted from what veteran police officers described as the most bizarre combination of "weapons" in their memory any one of which could have caused death.

Rain which fell In the predawn hours of Sunday oblite rated fingerprints, both from the body and interior of the cab, found abandoned nearby, and from other objects which might have become clues. Col. Jacob Schott, chief of detectives reported. Miss Bowman who lived alone In an apartment at 2909 Warsaw was found unconscious and mangled, near a traffic stop-sign at the intersection of Grand Avenue and Ring Place, less than two blocks from her bachelor-girl abode. The find was made by Raymond Walker, 2940 Blue Rock Rd.

He called police who rushed Miss Bowman to St. Mary Hospital where she died within minutes, unable to shed light upon what happened. Colonel Schott pinned hopes of a possible connection between Miss Bowman's slaying and three strangulation murders recorded here this year on the story told by the driver of a Parkway cab. (The taxi involved In the Bowman case was stolen from the Yellow Taxlcab parking lot at 1110 Kenner St. It Is a 1963 model of another make of car than Is used in regular service.

The stolen car, cab company officials said, was one of approximately 25 held for spare or emergency use. The Parkway driver was quoted by Colonel Schott as saying he "took a ride over Price Hill" shortly before 3 a. and had returned to a point near Eighth and State Sts. when a Negro flagged him from the curb, waving two one-dollar bills. He was "out of breath and nervous and seemed in a hurry," the driver reported.

His fare, dressed, he said, in leather Jacket and appearing to be 25 or 30 years old and weighing 150-160 pounds, asked him to take him to Bank and Baymiller Sts. Several times during the trip, the driver said, his passenger Inched over In the rear seat to a position directly behind, "and I told him to move back, that I didn't want him sitting directly behind me." The Parkway driver told police a short time before he picked his man up, he had heard a taxlcab network broadcast alert of a slaying on Price Hill. As the car neared Bank and Baymiller Streets, the Negro "threw the two bills at me, got out and ran," the driver told police. Later Sunday, the driver reportedly identified two photos of one police suspect as "looking very much like" his fare of a few hours before. Police Immediately con' centrated their search Into certain West End areas.

Still fresh in memory were previous indications that three strangulation murders in recent months could have been the work of a Negro. In fact, Federal Bureau of Investigation laboratory tests, made after the most recent death, Identified strands of human hair found at the scene as those of a Negro. And, In one or more of the three, police have been told that a Negro, about 25 years old, tall and weighing approximately 150 pounds, had been seen In the vicinity. North Vietnam Westmoreland Determined, Tells LB couraged by: Odd coincidences In dates with regard to the current nationwide purge. A campaign to convince China and the outside world that Mao still functions as head man.

Strange differences in pictures of Mao released In Peking, showing him alternately a sick old man and a younger, vigorous-looking leader. An unexplained recall of an edition of the official party newspaper. People's Daily, reporting a Mao reappearance In Peking, and subsequent deletion of the item from last Thursday's edition. Extreme measures to demonstrate that the purge it is called "the great cultural revolution" is Mao's own brainchild and that Mao's "thinking" Is the locomotive of the purge, and of everything else. Incredible mass rallies, both to denounce those accused as "anti-party," and to whip up warlike anti-American sentiment.

A REPORT BY the ruling Communist party Central Committee that Mao appeared before it in Peking for 12 days early this month find won complete vindication of his policies does not Itself Indicate he Is In full control. On the contrary. It suggests that a struggle at the politburo level has been in progress for some time, reaching a peak which required a long, drawn-out session. With all this, It Is difficult to escape an impression that Mao no longer is In personal command, and that his health Is far from what the propaganda says it Is. It is not easy to draw hard conclusions from the appearance of Mao in photographs officially released by Peking.

But some intelligence sources go so far as to suggest that an aging (73) and ailing Mao has a look-alike. They suggest a double stands in for him in public appearances such as parades, demonstrations and other functions requiring poliburo members to stand for hours, an arduous performance for any man of Mao's aze. Mao looks far younger and healthier in pictures released In May and July of this year than he did In photographs published a whole year ago. A picture published last October shows Mao looking 10 years younger than he looked last November. Peking propaganda recently raised an enormous hullaballoo about Mao swimming the Yangtze River.

Its claims for his prowess and endurance went beyond bounds of credibility. Mao dropped from public view last November. The last released photograph of him then was of an aging, tired man. The next photograph six months later showed a younger-looking man apparently in vigorous health. It is here that there is a curious coincidence in dates.

Party propaganda has dated the current purge to November, when it said a crackdown began to eliminate those who failed to abide by "Mao Tze-Tung's thinking." By May, the purgers were in full cry and leaders In high places had been toppled. The purge Is still going on. It has routed out all those who even hinted that good relations with Moscow could be beneficial to China's armed power. As the purge continues, everbody In China is told to read Mao's essay on "Correct Handling of Contradictions Among the People," produced In 1957 and now supposedly the key to solution of all problems, from winning table tennis tournaments to winning "people's wars." If that work were studied carefully, it would suggest that the current purge in fact went counter to Mao's "thinking." Mao contended that since 195S "the main force of counterrevolutionaries" In China already had been rooted out. He advised against further excesses, and said "it would be wrong to say there are still large numbers of counterrevolutionaries at large." Yet, today's purge accounts tell of swarms of terrevolutlonary elements in virtually every Chinese town of any size.

William S. Carpenter, about the war with President Johnson. General Westmoreland arrived at President Johnson's ranch Saturday night.

The visit took newsmen by-surprise. The White House explained that the Presi-' dent and General Westmoreland had agreed to meet again following last Februarys top level conference in Honolulu but that they had not been able to work out a meeting convenient to both until this week. The general was forthright In his description of Johnson "Communist military takeover of South Vietnam" was now "i 1 1 the American people "must know that there will be no quick victory." "The single most Important fact now is our will to prosecute the war until the Communists, recog 1 1 the futility of their ambitions, either end the fighting or seek a peaceful settlement," the President said. "No one can say when this will be, or how many men will be needed, or how long we must persevere. The American people must know that there will be no quick victory and the world must know that we will not quit "The day will come, however, when the Independence of the Vietnamese people will be assured and our men will cone home." At present, there are roughly 291,000 American troops In South Vietnam.

Recent news reports from Saigon have cited authoritative sources there as saying that the war would last another eight years at present troop strength or five years If troop levels were raised to 750,000 men. The source of these reports Is widely believed to have been Wallace M. Greene, Marine Corps commandant In South Vietnam. Asked about these re ports, General Westmore- land said he understood that there had been "an alleged study coming to such conclusions." However, he said he had not seen It and that It had not been made "by my Off Page 12 Mud Tage 8 Air Losses Page 24 Error Again. Page 3 New York Times Service JOHNSON CITY, Tex.

The young patient her Mack hair tumbled down the back of her blue hosplt.il gown smiled broadly and answered, "Number One," when asked how her heart Is now. "She's too," Dr. Mills said. "She doesnt even have a murmur." Dr. Mills said that before surgery the girl had two heart murmurs which, through a stethescope, "sounded like a boiler factory." Miss Truong was one of three Vietnamese girls brought aboard for treatment of heart defects.

Drs. Neugebauer and Mills, both heart specialists, decided that only the Truoni; girl's condition was operable; the other two cases were too far advanced. Preliminary examination indicated the valve between the upper and lower sections of her heart on the right side was not closing properly. Much of the blood from the upper section into the lower chamber with each heart beat was allowed to drain hack into the upper segment, thus limiting the body's blood supply. The heart fought to do its Job anyway, and the overwork made it enlarge itself two to three Jmes above normal.

TIm physicians raid the heart will gradually revert to normal size. Other letter writers called for a shorter waking day at outside Jobs and an extra day off a "family day" at least twice a month.

One woman proposed that the Soviet Union's tax on childless couples not be applied for at least nine months or a year after the wedding.

MOSCOW UP Disgruntled Soviet housewives want pensions, extra days off, less taxes and more dignity. "A housewlve has only duties and no rights," a former school teacher was quoted saying by the government newpaper Izvestia Sunday. "Even maids have trade unions, paid vacations, sick leave, but what about the housewives?" Izvestia asked, noting that working womcn-not housewives-have organizations to look after their welfare. In a letter to Izvestia, one woman proposed that women who are unable to accumulate the full 20 years on the Jnb necessary to qualify for a pension, be given credit for time spent nt home raising a family.

That way a woman who worked only 15 years at a Job, then quit because of Illness or family problems and spent a number of years raising a family could still qualify for a pension, the housewife wrote.
