PAGE TWO Tha OREGON STATESMAN. Salem. Orecon. Sunday Morning, September 24. 1311 Washington Outlook By the Washington Staff of i The Associated Press WASHINGTON, Sept 23 Pressure of war is leaving the Chungking government in Chi na ever closer to some , kind of a working agreement with Its - strongest, domestic ; element of dissension, the so - called com munist regime in northwest Chi na, r, :''. ". -v'.'' " The rede- say, they have half a million . trained . troops "who lack only equipment to fight the Japanese on a broad front Generalissimo Chiang Kai-shek has had only nominal loyalty from the communists since the- war with Japan began in 1937. On the other; hand, he has given them no arms, no real voice in the gov ernment and has kept central government troops watching their borders. - Chiang's armies have had to retreat before the latest Japanese advance and have been unable to avert: sacrifice of the big Ameri can airbase near- Kweilin. Anoth er base is threatened at Liuchow, farther south. This situation is receiving much attention in Washington, for it is generally held that an allied vic tory over Japan could be serious ly delayed if the Japanese suc ceeded in splitting China in two. It is understood that both Vice President Wallace and WPB Chairman Donald Nelson have urged Chiang to broaden his gov- ; eminent ' i Among signs that American in fluence may be taking effect is a relaxation of Chungking's string- - ent censorship and a report that Chiang has accepted a war pro duction plan worked out by Nel son. ; Not much can be dene- bout China's desperatee conomic plight until after the war, but it is gen erally conceded mat reeevery, either now or in the future, de pends upon a. solution of China's . internal political . dilemma, in which the Knomintang-eornanunist rift is the keylog in the jam. : Utile Steel Fight j Enters Showdown Stage Ne CIO compromise Labor's fight to break the little steel form ula, spearheaded by CIO steel f workers demanding an increase of 17 cents an hour, enters the show down stage this coming week in a series 'of public hearings before the war labor board . Indications are that the board will incorporate some of the steel workers' demands in a new j wage policy it will propose for use; when V-E day comes. i This policy is expected to call for an 8 per cent base rate in crease for a 40-hour week, figur ed on current average earnings for 48 hours of work, including overtime. . . . but board sources , have learned Informally that such a "reconversion solution" will not be acceptable to CIO because of CIO "prestige" is involved in larger demands.

When Susan Graham was born, back .in New Philadelphia, Ohio, Sept 24, 1844, John Quincy Adams, the nation's sixth president was getting along in years and John Tyler was in the White House. The steamship and the . steam locomotive were so new as to be subjects of rumor. When she was three years old the United States issued its first adhesive postage - stamp. Susan was lour years ox age when gold was discovered in Call fornia, and was in school when the-fugitive slave law and Henry Clay's compromise resolutions were passed. She wa 13 years old by the time John Brown raided Harper's ferry.

Graham continued to live at the 959 South 12 th street resi dence. Five years ago the daugh ter, widely known here as a music teacher, died, and Mrs. Graham was alone. Alone, that is, except for a nephew and nieces (Charles H. McDonoueh and Jessie Williams In Salem; Dr. Ruth Dougherty Benson is the daughter of a niece, and still other nieces live in other Oregon cities), she retained her interest in the Baptist church.
