Wedemeyer Report On China
Bares Lack Of Faith In Chiang
To Institute Needed Reform
WASHINGTON, Aug. 6.-UPI
Lt Gen. Albert C. Wedemeyer
urged President Truman In 1947
to adopt a new five-year aid pro
gram tor Nationalist China if
Generalissimo Chiang Kai-shek
would agree to drastic reforms In
his government and army.
Wedemeyer told the President
this action was necessary to d
leat the Chinese Communists anj
block Russia's "dangerous" plans
lor expansion In the Kar East.
He made the recommendations
to the White House Sept. 19, 1947,
alter conducting an on-the spot
survey as head of a Truman-
appointed Investigating mission to
China.
The army general denounced
Russia's role In the Chinese revo
lution and told Mr. Truman:
"Any further spread of Soviet
Influence would be inimical to
United States strategic Interests.'
Wedemeyer suggested that the
President urge China to appeal to
the United Nations to set up a
five nation "guardianship" or
trusteeship over the rich indus
trial area of Manchuria.
The trustees would be the U. S
Britain, Russia, France and China.
Wedemeyer's advice was not
followed. The administration sup-
f rested his report until Kriday.
n making It public, Secretary of
State Acheson gave this reason
for the secrecy:
"It was decided that the pub
lication at that time of suggestion
for alienation of a part of China
from the control of the national
ist government, and for placing
that part under an international
administration to Include Soviet
Russia, would not be helpful."
Wedemeyer's report was con
tained in the State department's
1034-page "while paper" doc
r.enting the administration's past
China policy.
I Wedemeyer proposed that as a
condition for American aid the
nationalist government agree to
accept American economic and
military advisers who would make
sure Chiang would carry out re
forms. The American general said he
was sure Chiang was sincere in
his desire to make drastic
changes. But he was not sure
Chiang was determined to carry
them out "if this requires abso
lute overruling of the political
and military cliques surrounding
him."

was hacked by the producer, mis

The only thing left of his orig

Today all this Is changed. It Is

Is a happy ending for them now,
too.
They can work their way up to
become directors, producers and
yes even film cutters. Some of
them now write, produce, direct,
and cut the film. They run the
show from idea to screen.
Voice of Experience
This is all to the good in tne

spent a decade as a writer before

"In some studios 75 per cent of

Buchman himself wrote such

He became a producer in 1937

dramas, including "A Song to Re

Chopin. His latest is "Jolson Sings

"I like the music drama form
and I want to do more," he said.
'The phase of our cultural life

Buchman plans to make films

a picture on Bcethoven't life.

Continuance Of
Draft Law To Be
Asked By Army
WASHINGTON', Aug. 6.-0P
The army wants the draft law
retained as Insurance in case of
a sudden -outbreak of war, in
stead of letting it die next June.
The national military estab
lishment says that the matter
of asking Congress to extend the
draft will be considered by the
joint chiefs of staff.
While the navy and air force
haven't made up their minds,
Lt. Gen. . H. Brooks, director
of army personnel, said that the
ground forces want the law to
stay on the books.
Congress, Brooks said, might
not have time to enact a new
selective service act in case of
swift attack. And even after
passage of such a law, he added,
it would be 60 to 90 days be
fore the necessary machinery
could be set up.
Under the present standby law
which has not been used since
January, men could be drafted
Immediately.
Of the three armed services,
the army alone has had need of
the draft since World War II
ended. The navy and air force,
being smeller, have .kept up their
strength through voluntary en
listments. Brooks said the army feels
time would be paramount in the
event of another war and any
delay might be dangerous.
At present the army is more
than 20,000 men short of the 677,-000-man
ceiling allowed In Presi
dent Truman'i budget.
But Brooks said officials are
not worried over the shortage.
They expect recruiting, which
has been lower than expected
recently, to pick up gradually.

But the Mayes didn't give up
hope. With another son, Bert'
rand, 21, and a daughter, Ber-
nice, 16, Mr. and Mrs.- May?s
conducted a tireless three-week
search. They drove slowly along
almost every mountain road they
could find, climbing vantage
points to scan wooded Cascade
slopes with binoculars.
"There Isn't anything I would
not do to find him," Mayes said,
adding that a $1,000 reward he
offered for recovery of his son's
body still stands.
The Mayes, weary and disap
pointed, said they now must re

is a school teacher there, and
her husband is assistant super
