Chile Proclaims
Martial Law
Santiago, Chile, Aug. 20 (U.B
The cabinet today ordered the
fleet to Chile's coastal coal and
nitrate fields and proclaimed
modified martial law in an at
tempt to nip an alleged com
munist plot to overthrow the
government.
President Gabriel Gonzalez
Vldela said half the fleet was
sent to ports in the strike-bound
coal provinces of O'Higgins and
Concepcion in south Chile and
the other half to the northern
nitrate provinces of Antofagas
ta and Tarapaca.
Naval units sent south were
ordered to isolate and occupy
the coal fields, where 2,500 min
ers in the Lota and Lirquen col-
leries struck this morning.
The labor ministry said 500
men in the Lota pits had refused
to come to the surface. Another
1,500 Jailed to report for the
first shift today. The other 500
miners struck at Lirquen.
The dispatch of fleet units to
the nitrate provinces in the
north was believed a precaution
ary measure. No strikes had
been reported there to date
There are heavy American in
vestments in the nitrate fields.
The government's proclama
tion of modified martial law ap
plied to all four provinces.
Its action followed swiftly the
suppression of bloody riots in
Santiago earlier this week. The
government charged these, too,
were part of a communist plot
against the government although
they ostensibly had been touch
ed by an increase in street car
fares.

mortality rate is reduced from
45 to 50 percent down to 18 per
cent by the use of the serum,"

tors and hospitals "do not be
lieve in this serum" but that It
has been used with success by

. It as "a convalescent serum tak
en from polio patients."

Nanking Red Press
Attack on America
Nanking, Aug. 20 VP) The
communist-controlled press to
day fired its heaviest propagan
da broadside against the United
Slates.
The daily, bitter press attacks
reached a new height of intens
ity in today's editorials, which
practically choked news off fronl
pages.
The anti-American propagan
da campaign has been sharply
accelerated by publication of the
U. S. white paper on China. (The
white paper laid down a policy
of aiding the Chinese to cast off
the "foreign yoke" of a Red
regime which served Russian
imperialism).
The official communist Hsin-
hua (New China) agency has
charged the United States with
fostering a fifth colmun behind
Red lines ana with encouraging
and assisting sabotage by "na
tionalist special bandits."

Choice of B-36
San Francisco, Aug. 20 VP)
There is no chance for politics
or favoritism to enter into the
selection of combat aircraft,
General H. H. (Hap) Arnold de
clared yesterday.
The retired air force comman
der was testifying before a
house subcommittee Investigat
ing rumors that the choice of the
huge, six-engined B-36 might
have been influenced by poli
tics. The development of an air
giant such as the B-36 requires
the combined efforts of count
less scientists, engineers and of
ficers, he said.
He reaffirmed his faith in
General, Hoyt Vandenberg and
the men who presently guide
the air force.
"I personally selected them
for their outstanding ability and
integrity," Arnold said. "They
have measured up under fire. I
have unqualified confidence in
them."
"Arnold said development of
a combat plane takes from three
to six years from the drawing
board to operational flight.
It requires endless refine
ments getting the "bugs" out
so it can be used. He said the
vital decisions affecting the de
velopment of a plane cannot be
made by any one man but must
be made by all concerned in
that development.
Digressing a bit to world af
fairs, Arnold said fear of what
may happen to them is all that
deters people from aggression.
"The thing people fear most
is something they do not under
stand. And the thing the Rus
sians understand least is strate
gic bombing.
"Therefore, I congratulated
the secretary for air when he
ordered more B-36s."
He said that in the B-36, the
U.S. has the best inter-continental
bomber of any nation. So far
as he knows, nobody else has
anything to match it.

Portland Taxes
Portland, Ore., Aug. 20 (U.R)
Circuit Judge James W. Craw
ford ruled today that Portland's
controversial city license fee
program is legal.
Judge Crawford's ruling gave
the city a go-ahead to collect the
fees, effective July 1, but he sug
gested that the city council lim
it operations of the plan to one
year.
The ruling decided suits
brought against the city by the
Retail Trade bureau, a group of
auto dealers and the Business
Brokers of Oregon.
The city already had announc
ed that it intended to repeal the
licenses ordinances at the end
of the fiscal year, July 1, 1950,
if a permanent financial pro
gram is ready for adoption at
that time.
In ruling the plan legal, Judge
Crawford said the city was auth
orized to pass license ordinances
embracing both regulation li
censing and revenue-licensing.
The plaintiffs had argued the or
dinances were improper because
they covered two subjects.
