All telegraphic and telephonic

Chinese communists, but Rockey
said fragmentary reports Indi
cated seven of the fliers were
dead and two Injured, leaving
three still unaccounted for.
The six Helldivers vanished
during a snowstorm last Thurs
day, Dec. 8, after making what

ing flight over the Tientsin area.

RELEASE HALTED
Washington, Dec. 14 (U.R)
The government has halted the
release of surplus butter stocks,
a move that is expected to in
tensify the nation-wide butter
shortage and accompanying
black markets, It was learned to
day. In ending butter rationing
last month, officials reported
the supply would not meet the
full unrationcd demand. How
ever they explained that 100,
000,000 pounds of government
butter was being released to civi
lians and should help tide the
nation over the winter's low pro
duction season.
The army this week asked the
Agriculture department to halt
the sales. It is expected that
the military may recall about
23,000,000 pounds scheduled to
augment civilian stocks. This
amounts to nearly a week's sup
ply for the nation.
