I i I Government Of China Is Facing Gravest Crisis Administration at a Stand still With Kai-Shek and Ching-Wei in Contest For Rule. By Morris J. Harris (Associated Press Staff Correspondent) (Copyright, 1932, By the Associated tress i SHANGHAI, Aug. 11 China was a nation virtually adrift today. Chiang Kai-Shek, former president ana virtual commanaer-in-cniei ox the army, appeared to be drifting to ward the role of fascist dictator, fa voring a tolerant foreign policy, espe cially with respect to Manchuria. China's government was at a stand still, in political circles iz was in dicated that leaders were recently at tempting to solve the crisis resulting from the resignation of Wang Chlng Wei, president of the executive Yuan, and the Nanking cabinet. Without warning, Wang Chlng-Wei quit last Saturday. He gave as nis reason the maladministration of af fairs in North China, coupling with It a withering attack upon Chang Hsiao-Liang, erstwhile Manchurian chieftain! now directing affairs about Fetping, supposedly under Nanking's direction. Chiang Kai-Shek Instead of assum ing the dictatorial role and command- lug his one-time suDorama&es to re main In their respective jobs, tele graphed to Nanking that he, too, would be forced to resign unless vari ous leaders resumed their duties.' Chiang Kai-Shek's action precipi tated the gravest crisis within the history of the stormy Nanking regime. Today China's government is at a standstill. Wang Chlng-Wel and oth er members of the Nunklng cabinet are In retirement here. Chang Hsiao-Liang from Peiplng has sent repeated appeals to Nanking that his successor be named, but there is no one at Nanking to con sider his appeals. A slight ray of hope appeared yesterday when Wang Ching-wei, aitnougn declining j gu to Hankow to discuss the situation with Chiang Kai-Shek, sent repre sentatives. Stripped to the essentials, the situation is a contest oetweeu vmiing Kai-Shek and Wang Chtng-Wei, whose views are strongly divergent, . t Eastern Oregon ; Men Are Named ? On G.O.P.

Hasten wita worn xroni tne pucmc neaitn service that extensive outbreaks of infantile paralysis are unlikely this year. 4 The reason, paradoxically enough, is the outbreaks reported In New York, New England and portions of the middle west last year and. others the year before in California, Kansas and soma far western states. A strange factor that characterizes a strange disease, however, is that the warmer the climate the rarer the recognised ecciirrence of soliamyelitls, the physician's nanve for infantile paralysis. It causes little trouble In the tropics. Taking this Into consideration, sci entists are confident the disease has spread within the past two years over virtually all sections of the United States where epidemics normally oc cur. This is the basis for their pre diction that the number of cases this year will be far below last year, the worst since 1016. Even mild attacks confer immunity, probably for a lifetime. May Extend Use Of Police Radio PORTLAND, Aug. 11 H Flans for extending the use of police short wave radio to the state troopers of Oregon were discussed at a meeting here Wednesday attended by Gover nor Julius h, Meier and state and city officials, , One plan urged, and said to be favored by the governor Is that the Portland police station increase Its power from 300 to 600 watts and that the station be made available to the state police. The city offered its radio service without cost, providing the state would give the city an agreement not to erect a station of its own for three years.

To the mayor, political future, here tofore bright, is at stake. To the governor the hearing has meant de lay In concentrating upon his cam paign for the presidency. Some political observers said the decision may have an effect upon the governor's campaign. They hold that a removal decision might easily be looked as a blow at Tammany Hall, in which the mayor Is a leading fig ure, and thereby endanger the gov ernor's chances of carrying New York state in November. On the other hand the suggestion was advanced In some quarters that a decision favorable to the mayor might be interpreted as favorable to Tammany, and thus might not please (Continued on Page Four) j Paraguay and Bolivia in Dispute lrsguay, facing 3 senfHct- with Bolivia ever tli& Qfgn" hasn't fully recovered from tlic nor with llruzll, Argentina und Drojaay in the imwa which cot her four-flftlm of her population, , Above are shown modern Bolivian soldiers reedy for war while be- -. low are Paraguayan army filer, map shows dtaputed area.
