January of last year, just before
the fall of Nanking.

came acting president.' Li is re
cuperating in a New York hospital
from a surgical operation.
Chiang's action was not unex
pected. For aeveral weeks his
followers have been clamoring for
him to resume the presidency.
It will be a greatly reduced force
that he takes over tomorrow from
the one he left some 13 months
ago. Then he was nominal tiler,
at least, of about 300,000,000 of
China's 460,000,000 inhabitants.
Still in Nationalists' hands were
the rich Yangtze river valley and
more than half of the vast coun
try the Reds controlled North
China. Today the Nationalists' gov
ernment has been driven from the
mainland to this island of Formosa.
The nationalists now rule over
less than 10,000,000 here, and other
islands flanking the China coast.
They also have an undetermined
number of troops in far South
western China.
They claim the support of mil
lions of underground workers in
Red China proper. I

Friends have said Chiang is con
vinced war between the Unites
States and Russia is inevitable.
He pins his hopes of regaining i
power in China on the supposition,
they say, feeling American support 1
may be bought by Chinese bases
and troops.
Meanwhile in the wake of pew
attacks on two American merchant-'
men, Nationalist China warned to
day that all ships tracing with the
Chinese Communists are subject to
air assault.
The Pioneer Dale of the United
States lines and the Flying Clipper
of the Isbrandtsen line were bomb
ed and strafed by unidentified
planes yesterday off Tsingtao in
Communist North China. The
bombs missed. But both ships were
peppered by machinegun fire. One
sailor was injured. i
Coincident? fly with the news of
attacks on the Pioneer Dale and
Flying Clipper, the U.S. State de
partment in Washington disclosed
the nationalists never have re-
plied to a protest on the shelling of :

How this hidden tank farm helped keep you warm
A year ago, w completed on of the largest
heating oil tank farm in the country her in
-the Northwest ... simply to make certain there
would b enough oil on hand to meet any
' emergency spell of bad weather.
This farm, hidden behind ring of tree to preserve scenic beauty, with
storage capacity of 28,896,000 gallons of oil, went into operation a lot
faster than we ever expected. During this winter, on of the severest on
record, these facilities, costing more than $1,000,000, helped to do th
big job of keeping Northwest homes and office buildings warm.
Of course, these tanks were only on factor in avoiding a shortage.
Standard Heating Oil dealers and their trucks worked 24-hour days; tank
ers, railroads, and truckers carried more hearing oil in a short space of time
than during any other winter. But it was gratifying to all Standard oiler
that this part of our construction program (already totaling more than
1)00,000,000 just sine th wax) could be put to such good us so oov
