Douglas Says No
Need Fear Peace
PORTLAND, July 2 (UP) The
people of America have nothing
to fear from the problems ! of
peace, according, to Justice Wil
liam O, Douglas of the United
Slates supreme court, if they live
up to ideals and beliefs and bring
against them all our ingenuity,
all our faith in Got! and our trust
in fellow men,"
Speaking at a luncheon here
in connection with a state confer
ence of the young democrat clubs
of Oregon, Douglas said the peace
was lost after the last war be
cause Americans then failed tJ
realize the necessity of continu
ing in peace the political respon
sibility thai in -wartime had kept
patriotism from being "blacked
out" by partisanship.

the growing tide of criticism and
the fact Chiang had sided with
her critics on many issues. She

Much Fiction
There was a welter of rumors
and a fund of fiction, circulated
in China and later published in
the United States, of quarrels
between the madame and the
generalissimo over a younger
rival for the generalissimo's af
fections, of a baby bora to the
generalissimo of a Chinese nurse.
These stories,, according to the
best information available in
Chungking, are baseless.
Their origin was unclear. Some
persons suggested they were a
part of the .general campaign to
discredit the madame in the eyes
of. the Chinese public by point
ing up the fact that she had
borne the generalissimo no heir
valid excuse for divorce or the
taking ,of a concubine by ancient
Chinese tradition. These stories
finaily.were scotched by the gen
eralissimo himself at a fantastic
tea party at .which, in the pres
