I, 1948 Explosive Situation in China Calls for Clear U.S. Statement By LOUIS F. KEEMLE (United Press Staff Correspondent) The situation in China has become so explosive that United States policy whatever It Is appears due for revision or a clear statement of alms. Whether the United State Is "Intervening" or "Interfering" in China's internal affairs is a subject of controversy. The Chinese communists and their supporters tion. United States military and diplomatic authorities contend that the sole purpose is to facilitate the disarmament of 2,000,000 Japanese troops in China and the deportation of the troops and another 2,000,000 Japanese civilians. EXPLANATION NOT ACCEPTED BY AMERICAN PUBLIC That explanation is glven'to account for the presence of United States marines in Nortli China and the movement of Chungking government troops northward to the communist-dominated area bv United States airplanes and ships. The explanation is too simple and has not been accepted the whole story. Much confusion has arisen because of conflicting statements by American authorities in China and Washington, and by the communist and Kuomlntang factions in China. Recent develop ments include the following: Lt. Gen. Albert C. Wedemeyer, U. S. commander In China, told the press in Washington less than three weeks ago that the marine strength in China would be built up to more than 50,000 by the end of the year. Yesterday he said In Pelping that evacua tion of American forces from North China may begin In about a week. Secretary of State James Washington. WITHDRAWAL FROM CHINA PREVIOUSLY PROMISED Previously Wedemeyer had said that If any really serious trouble started between the communist and central government forces, American troops would be withdrawn. He denied emphati cally that American forces had aided the Chinese Nationalists in actual fighting. Nevertheless, American marines have been wounded in rifle exchanges with the Chinese communists, flist does not belie Wedemeyer's statement, although it shows the potential danger of a grave clash. The communists have Just reported that Nationalist forces be low the Great Wall have opened an attack to break through the Shanhaikwan Pass into southern Manchuria. The official Central News Agency reported almost simultaneously from Chungking that peace negotiations had been resumed. The communists also cited three specific examples of alleged American intervention. They charged that American forces had occupied the communist office In Pelping and disarmed and ques tioned the personnel. An apology was demanded of Wedemeyer. AIRPLANE TURN-OVER REPORT DENIED IN U. S. The Nationalist newspaper Ta Kung Pao said in Chungking that the 3,000 American airplanes now in China are being turned over to the central government. A State department spokesman in Washington branded the story as "spurious and untrue." The re port followed a previous statement in Chungking that the United States would set up a five-year military mission in China to re organize and train the central government's armies. Meanwhile, Secretary Byrnes told a press conference in Wash ington that the movement of the marines in China is a military matter, not political. He said the State department had not been consulted. If that Is so, there must be two American policies in China one of political and one military. It seems logical to assume that if they were co-ordinated and plainly stated, there would be a better prospect of getting the Chinese factions' together, and less chance of a misunderstanding with Russia, whose interest in China is as great as the American.

He has been having heart attacks periodically ever since. The colonel is now eighty-five years of age. So if you have a heart attack don't think lt is the end of lt all. Take care of yourself.

Mules and Man A contemporary expert on men, women and love, but not horses, advises young women as follows: "Never let a man know he is 'it.' That is to say, don't tell the fellow he is your "big moment." Our Mules and Men experts are not in accord with this line of advice. They say the thing to do Is let the man know he is "It" assure him he is the one and only." However, our M & M exports claim it is a mis take for a young woman to let one man monopolize her. She should have at least three other young men to whom she can devote some attention. Idea of this is to keep the "one and oniy just a little worried. But even when the ton man asks: "Who was that fellow I saw you with?" the girl should say: "Oh Just a casual acquaintance but you know you are my chief heartthrob." As we have said before the advice of our Mules and Men experts may not be so romantic out It is practical. Over Thar Vic Oliver, British radio come insist that it is military lnterven by the American public as telling F. Byrnes said the same thing in MMIIIIIIIIIIillllimiMIII dian, is quoted as saying: 'In the United States you can Joke about anybody on the air, even President Truman. But if I were to tell a Joke on the air about Prime Minister Attlee I would probably be shot." (That's a strange state of affairs to exist In Great Britain, always noted for its tolerance as to freedom of speech).

Nov. 9 Demo cratic Chairman Hannegan an nounced the O'Dwyer mayor alty victory not only popu larized the man in whom he is primari ly Interested, President Tru man, but mark this well expressed: . "The grow ing popular will to carry on the policies faul elation and program of the late Franklin D, Roose velt." This Inference that the gov ernment might have received what Mr. Roosevelt used to call "a mandate" to go C. I. O. or new dealing again, caused rather general surprise to the politicos in the know on what really hap pened in New York. To them the election result meant exactly the opposite without a shadow of a doubt or a loophole for argument. It ex pressed about the same popular system as was evident in Detroit, namely: Without Mr. Roosevelt at the top of their tickets, the left wingers, radicals, professional new dealers and, indeed, the C. I. O.-P. A. C. itself, cannot pretend to the popular following he gave them. Indeed, far from having a fresh mandate, their future has been made doubtful. a a A pretzel-like stretch of the imagination would be required to reach any different conclu sion. These two cities were the strongholds of leading advocates of the Roosevelt policy and pro gram. If they cannot win in these two metropolitan centers they cannot win anywhere. Yet in New York they show ed a sharply diminishing vote forecasting an end to the public career of their leading politico, La Guardia, and the end of their fusionlst, independent move ments; while in Detroit their own man could not win, even backed with a democratic nomi nation. a a a Take New York. The radical and almost thoroughly commu nist American labor party polled far less than the normal com munist vote of recent years. Its reorganized, militant man agement showed less power than its former directorship which led the publicity of the fourth-term drive for Mr. Roose velt. It rode the democratic party coattail again, but with such a less Impressive clutch of strength as to relieve the vic torious O'Dwyer from any seri ous future political considera tion of A. L. P. Next La Guardia and his "no deal," Independent campaign showed , itself to be nothing worth anyone worrying about. The little thistle is commonly reported to have ambitions to ward the senatorship or gover norship next, but he cannot hope to get either the republi can or democratic nominations for either Job. His section of the local count erpart of "the Roosevelt progrom ond policy" rallied Insufficient following upon which to build an independent political move ment. a a a The Tammany democrat, O'Dwyer, was a popular man and the great bulk of his vote enough to win was cast on the straight democratic ticket. The city majority then went democratic; lt went Tammany; It did not go new deal. Any objective analysis I am firmly convinced will show lt did so primarily because the people as a wholes the man and woman In the street in general were so fed up with the reforms of La Guardia and that kind of new deal bitterness they were even .willing to take Tammany as a substitute. The alternative offered by the republicans was weak. In fact he was a Tammany demo crat himself. Judge Jonah Goldstein.

Well, they called lt a draw, and made peace over a glass of HI- neuver for. the Jewish vote In largest concentration of Jewish population in America did not succeed. Some Jews thought his elec tion would promote anti-Semei- tism rather than ease it, while a great number just saw through the republican strategy (too plain a lure?) and voted for O'Dwyer. No one could possibly get a genuine victory for "the policy and program" of Mr. Roosevelt out of this situation. Party? Yes. Tammany? Yes. Nothing else, e a Now in Detroit, the C. I. O. P. A. C. had a straight loss. Its unions there in the auto indus try have greater strength and prestige than elsewhere. It had a rather popular candidate, Richard Frankensteen, running against a republican seeking a fourth term, Mayor Jeffries. The result was not close. Jef fries won by 57,000 votes. There were the only impor tant elections involving straight major tests of the political i forces of this era. That Mr. Truman could have been much In mind of voters at the polls In either city I gravely doubt. That "the policy and program" of Mr. Roosevelt, concurred in in earlier years to meet wholly different situations than those today, won a victory, is prepos terous. Instead the majority showed that without the name of Mr. Roosevelt at the head of their tickets the future of his old extra-party crowd in politics is dark. Flight o Time Medtord and Jackson Co.
