Chinese Ambassador Stresses
Seriousness of Red Menace
Br Francis J. Kelly
WASHINGTpN, Nov. 12-(jP)-Wellington Koo, .the Chines Am
bassador, said tonight "the Communist menace in China is the
gravest of its kind in ny part of the world."
The Ambassador's comment came a few hours after; Senator Bridges
(R-NH) had proposed President Truman call Congress into special
session at once to increase Amen-
. can help to China.
Koo said he had no direct com
ment to make on the special ses
sio n proposal but did declare in
a statement China Min the face of
thei communist armed revolt to
seize control of the whole country,
has urgent need of and would wel
come more aid and assistance giv
en promptly."
Bridges said there is grave
danger the communists may en
gulf China "lock, stock and bar
rel" unless the Chinese Govern
ment gets effective help at once.
Chinese Grateful
The Ambassador said China is
grateful for the aid already ex
tended it and has been "doing its
best to carry out every obligation
which has devolved upon it.
Jn a statement issued through
his office here, Bridges urged that
Congress be called back immed
iately. The Senator himself was
In Des Moines to make a speech.
At Key West, Fla., where Presi
dent Truman is vacationing, as
sistant press secretary Eben Ayers
said the White House had no com
ment on Bridges' proposal.
8 till In Existence
Technically, the 80th Congress
is still in existence, and still domi
nated by republicans. Terms of
the adjournment resolution it
adopted last August 7 reserved to
the republican leaders of the
House and Senate the right to
bring Congress back at any time,
without necessarily a call by the
President.
There was no indication that
Bridges had approached those
leaders to exercise their power.
House Speaker Martin left this
morning for Massachusetts, his of
fice reported.

TOKYO, Saturday, Nov. 13-UP
The ultimate fate of Hideki Tojo
and 24 others . whose thirst for
empire led Japan to war and
ruin may be settled late this month
by General MacArthur the
man who stopped them.
MacArthur, the court of last
resort for his old enemies, set
November 19 as a deadline for
appeals from the international
tribunal, which yesterday told
Tojo and six others they must
hang for their crimes.
Then on November 22 he will
meet with the allied council and
heads of the allied missions in
Tokyo to review the sentences,
which include 10 of life impris
onment, one of 20 years and an
other of seven years.
All 23 defendants, convicted by
the court of active roles in Ja
pan's career of conquest, may
have their sentences reduced by
MacArthur, but he cannot in
crease them.

Soil Conservation
Bureau CriticizeS
By Farming Group
BEND, Nov. 12-(yP)-The OreT
gon Farm Bureau Federation rec
ommended today that the soil con
servation service be liquidated and
its functions placed under State
college extensions and experiment
stations. ,
Delegates to the annual conven
tion charged that the soil conser
vation service was "giving more
attention to building an organiza
tion than to halting soil erosion."
The convention proposed that
conservation payments continue to
be handled under the USDA farm
er committee system.
Another resolution criticized the
employment service's handling of
farm labor, and proposed that it
be turned over to the federal ex
tension service. Resumption of im
porting foreign labor for the har
vest was asked.

Granet also declared he would
urge the firing of all democratic

did nothing" Granet said. He
plans to go to Washington, D. C

ARC's Praise
The Salem Eagles lodges blood
donor system and the Knights of
Columbus registration for blood

the list and found James G. Rand
of Stayton, who left his job im
mediately to go to Portland to
donate blood. J, W. Thomas was
found through the Knights of Col

ors needed in the case were found

Special Session
Rumor Discounted
By Truman Aides
KEY WEST, Fla., Nov. 12--
wmie resident Truman main
tained silence, sources close to the
chief executive said tonight he has
no intention of calling the 80th
congress back into special session
to consider the Chinese develop
ments. These sources, who could not be
quoted by name, pointed out that
Mr. Truman will have a democratic-controlled
congress in January.
His differences with the GOP
controlled 80th congress featured
his campaign to win the presiden
cy in his own right.
Meanwhile, the Trumans, who
saw little of each other during the
successful campaign, were reun
ited here for a quiet family re
union. Greyhound Seeks Rights
