CHUNGKING. China.: Nov. 20-f;P)-Actlng
President LI Tsung
jen's action in flying ? to Hong
Kong created consternation' in na
tionalist official quarters tonight.
An official in close touch with
Generalissimo Chiang Kai-shek,
who is here, said, "Li's action at
this critical time is a surprise and
a disappointment. He had prom
ised to come to Chungking in two
or three days.
'Grave DamaceDone
"The communists will make
capital of it, and it will do the
government grave damage. When
we first heard the report from
Hong Kong we simply did not be
lieve it. Then Gen. Pai Chung-hsi
arrived and confirmed it."
Pai was closeted with Chiang
for an hour and a half. Chiang
also conferred at length with
Premier Yen Hsi-shan and other
high nationalists on the crisis
caused by Li's departure.
An unexpressed but obvious
fear was that Li, in Hong Kong
would be accessible to Communist
go-betweens who might try to
make a deal that could be fatal to
the already-groggy nationalists.
Discount Illness
Discounting reports of Li's ill
ness, one official said : the Hong

showdown with Chiang, to force
Chiang either to resume the pres
idency himself or give Li greater
power.

A motorist tentatively Identified
by state police as Wallace -Taylor,
1970 John st, died en rente to Sa
lem General hospital early this
morning after his roadster careen
ed from fog-shronded highway
99-E four miles north ef the city.
City first aid men said the man
they estimated his age at 30
had been crashed.
State police thought he had Just
turned north onto 99-E from Lan
caster road. The car, a cloth-top
'32 Ford, hurdled a drainage ditch,
ricocheted off a tree and came to
rest on its side in a clump of smal

The driver, who was alone, was
found near the first tree. A T-shirt,
believe by witnesses to be the one
he wore, hung grotesquely from a
barbed-wire strand nailed to the
tree.
A door from the car, a hub cap
and one of his shoes lay nearby.
State police said they could only
speculate that fog had been a fac

the first aid car to the scene and
returned the man to the hospital.
The roadster was reduced to
rubble.
Tentative identification was
made from papers in the man's
