China Assembly

m
Lick of Quorum
NANKING. March 30 -UT- The
national assembly, China's first
experience in democracy, held its
inaugural session today but it was
a lame affair without even a quor
um present.
One reason there .van't a quor
um was the row over seating about
400 independents who weren't
supposed to be elected in the first
place.
The independents are members
of the kuomintang. Chiang Kai
Shek's majority party, but who
ran as write-in candidates.
They were elected from dis
tricts where the kuomintang had
agreed not to enter candidates so
that the minority young China and
democratic socialist parties would
be asaured assembly seats.
Approximately 160 of the inde
pendents were seated. Now they :
are threatening to walk out unless ,
200 of their independent col-
leagues are seated too. Most of the
remainder of the 400 have with- i
drawn.
Ten independents who were dc- !
nied seats are on a hunger strike.
Government doctors who examin
ed them said their health was be
ing impaired.
Meanwhile the assembly was
shy 279 delegates of a quorum of
the 3,045 members.
