Marshall returned here from Shanghai today and Chungking newspapers said Generalissimo Chiang Kai-Shek had appointed him special ad visor to the committee studying reorganization and nationaliza tion of the Chinese government and communist armies. Marshall's aide said no formal notice of the new appointment had been received as yet, but it was expected shortly. Meanwhile, Communist Lead er Chou En-Lai informed the people's consultative assembly that a tentative agreement had been reached to reduce the na tionalist armies from their pres ent strength of 4,830,000 men to 1,800,000 men by June 30, and to cut the communist forces down to 400,000 men. Sporadic fighting between communist and nationalist troops was reported continuing in the north in violation of the truce agreement but both sides were said to be trying to re store peace. An order issued by the joint communist-nationalist executive headquarters in Pei ping directed both armies to cease firing and return to the positions they held at midnight on January 13, the effective date of the truce. Manufacturer Asks Public's Opinion Portland, Ore., Jan. 21 U.R) In what is believed to be the first time in Oregon history a manufacturer is asking the pub lic rather than the retail store buyer just what it thinks of the company's wares. This novel query is in the form of an educational exhibit in a hotel here Monday and Tuesday by the Portland Wool en mills, which is displaying its latest blankets and woolen ma terials for all to see.

House Group OK s USES Bill Washington, Jan. 21 IIP) The house labor committee approved legislation today in line with President Truman's recommen dation that the United States employment service remain un der federal control until July 1, 1947. The vote to send the measure to the house floor was 13 to 3. Mr. Truman, in December, vetoed legislation calling for cutbacks of over $50,000,000, 000 in appropriations and spend ing authorizations, because con gress had tacked on a rider call ing for the USES transfer, sought by many state adminis trations, within 100 days. Before voting to report the bill embracing the president's proposals, the labor committee defeated 9 to 6 a bill by Rep. Dirksen (R-III.) which stipulat ed that USES be returned to the States in 30 days. By a tie vote, 8 to 8, the com mittee also defeated a bill that would have put USES under permanent federal control. Rep. Randolph (D-WVa.), acting chairman, announced that the committee will act to morrow on a bill enbodying Mr. Truman's proposal for handling the nation's labor troubles. This measure proposes the setting up of fact-finding boards, cloaked with subpoena power. Dennis to Learn Fate Thursday Andrew W. Dennis, Portland railroad worker who is sched uled to die in the state prison gas chamber next Friday morn ing for slaying his mother-in-law, Mrs. Anna Belle McNalien, probably won't learn his final fate until the eve of his execu tion, Governor Earl Snell said today. The governor said it would take him until Thursday to com plete his study of the case, and he then would announce wheth er he would commute the sen tence to life imprisonment. The state supreme court, after acting Gov. Howard C. Bclton had "denied clemency, saved Dennis a few weeks ago on the night before Dennis orig inally was scheduled to die. The court, finding that no death war rant existed, sent Dennis back to Portland for resentencing, thus giving Dennis time to make a new appeal to Governor Snell. Governor Snell went to Port land today to confer with Edwin D. Hicks, attorney for Dennis. Sylvester Electrocuted Lebanon, Ore., Jan. 19-James Henry Sylvester, of Lacomb, was electrocuted at 11:30 o' clock this morning when he came in contact with an 11,000 volt overhead power line lead ing to a mixing machine.

If such a trip is taken, Ross added, it will be in advance of the president's appearance at Fulton. Mo., March 5 to intro duce Churchill for a speech at Westminster college. Amendments To 0 & C Laws County Judge Grant Murphy who attended a meeting of rep resentatives of Oregon & Cali- i foruia land grant counties in Portland Friday stated that a report was made on proposed amendments to the federal sta tutes covering distribution of proceeds from the grant lands. The amendments proposed are being worked up by lumber and county governmental interests. Under the law as it stands, he states, the proceeds are distrib uted by the government on a basis of 50 percent going to the counties, the distribution being made according to the percent age of timber land that was in each county at the time the Stanfield act went into effect 25 percent for administrative pur poses, and the other 25 percent for liquidation of the grant made to the counties under the Stanfield act. The bill now be ing prepared would provide that 10 percent of the gross receipts go toward reforestation and fire patrol of the lands, 45 percent to the counties, 22'a percent for administrative purposes and the other 22 percent for continua tion of the liquidation of the original grant to the counties. Judge Murphy stated the mat ter is still in its initial stages and has not been presented to the Oregon delegation in con gress although it is understood that Senator Cordon will prob ably endorse it. Thieves Active Friday Night Thieves were on the loose again Friday night. Rooms and automobiles were prowled. Emmel L. Gilmer reported to police that some time after mid nignt nis room at a downtown hotel was entered and his purse containing $23 in money and a check for $49 stolen. In another downtown hotel the room of Lewis Rose was en tered and a purse containing $5 taken from his pocket. The purse, empty, was found later in the bath room. Tne thefts from automobiles resulted in the usual missing hub caps and fender skirts which seem to be favorite loot for thieves. Clyde Krigcr, 779 North Cottage, told police that two hub caps were taken from the wheels of his auto while it was parked either at the Capi tola Skating rink or near the Paulus cannery. The automobile belonging to Harold Chipman, route 1, Cor vallis, was parked in the 100 block on North Commercial when a prowler carried away the fender skirts.

Vote Probe of Court Martials Washington, Jan. 21 IIP)- The senate judiciary committee vot ed unanimously today for an in vestigation of army and navy courts martial systems and the administration of wartime mar tial law in Hawaii. Chairman McCarran (D-Ncv.) who introduced the resolution, told reporters it is still unde termined whether the inquiry will be made by the full judic iary committee or a subcommit tee. An appropriation of $25,000 must be approved by a commit tee headed by Senator Lucas (D-Ill.) before the inquiry can begin. The ienate also must ap prove the inquiry resolution. McCarran said many com plaints have been received con cerning asserted injustices un der the present court martial systems.

Furnaces had been cooled in preparation for possibly a long shutdown. Pro duction had ceased In most mills hours in advance of the 2:01 a. m. deadline. First reports said picketing was orderly. In the sprawling Chicago-Gary, Ind., scene of vi olence during the 1937 "Little Steel" strike, a union spokes man said the picketing would be light "unless the companies at tempt to get back Into produc tion." About 1,300 plants in 30 states closed.

Plan to Rebuild Timber Lands Washington, Jan. 21 UP) Faced with a drain on the na tion's resources under its care almost equal to the war period, the forest service announced to day a long-range plan to build back Its timberlands and ranges. Meantime, President Truman asked congress to provide $3, 000,000 a year for purchase of private forest lands and to al low an overall increase of $11), 000,000 In the forest service bud get. Chief Forester Lyle F. Watls in a statement today accompany ing his annual report, says an "adequate forestry program" would create an additional 2, 500,000 jobs. Normally, the for ests, directly or indrictly, he said, provide about 3,750,000 jobs.
