Foreign Affairs
Expert Expected
To Initiate Move
By PETER CRAIGMOE
Tokyo- IITH -Red China is
expected to dispatch one of
its top foreign affairs experts
to Japan before spring to
strike another blow against
Japan's military and political
ties with the West.
Peiping has made no secret
of the fact that its major
policy aim in Asia is to alien
ate Japan, both diplomatical
ly and economically, from the
West, particularly the United
States.
The Chinese Reds struck
their first major blow short
ly after the signing of a Japanese-American
Security Al
liance last year. Liu Ning-Yi,
a leading foreign affairs ex
pert, was sent by Peiping to
attend an anli-nuclear rally
and 10th anniversary celebra
tion of Japan's left-wing So
hyo Labor Union last August.
He was abl to use the visit
to stir u dissatisfaction
among Japanese workers.
Expected in March
The next move is expected
by spring, perhaps in March,
during a scheduled "peace
march" from the northern
island of Hokkaido to Tokyo.
Political observers here be
lieve it will come in the form
of a visit by Liao Cheng-Chih,
Red China's "unofficial am
bassador" to Japan.
Liao, Tokyo-born and edu
cated, recently journeyed to
Moscow where he aided Com
munist China's president, Liu
Shao-Chi, in standing off the
peaceful co-cxistence assaults
of pro-Khrushchev factions at
the 81 -nation "Communist
Summit meet" in the Soviet
capital.
His mission to Tokyo, ex
perts here agree, will be to
woo Japan's big businessmen
away from the West by offer
ing concrete trade proposals:
for example, the export of
Chinese coal and iron ore in
exchange for heavy machin
ery which the Communists
need.
Drive Being Prepared
The Chinese Reds would
thus be devoting equal effort
to winning friends among Ja
pan's workers and business
leaders. This two - pronged
drive is already ..being pre
pared by Peiping radio broad
casts which tell Japanese the
United States is getting ready
to "betray" Japanese business
men and workers alike with
its growing "Buy America"
campaigns.
Japan stands to lose some
Silo million annually in U.S.
purchases as a result of the
"save-the-dollar" drive, trade
sources here calculate.
Technically, Liao will be re
paying a visit to Red China

HEADS JEWISH APPEAL
Miami Beach, Fla. -lUPIl-The
1.061 United Jewish Appeal
has elected a new general
chairman and launched a
drive for S72.7 million to aid
Jews in other lands. The or
ganization named Joseph May
erhoff of Baltimore as general
chairman to succeed Philip M.
Klutznick, Park Forest, 111.
The goal of S72. 740,000 is for
the aid of F80.000 Jews in
Israel and other foreign countries.

cratic parly. A firm believer
in Sino-Japancse trade, Tnka-j
saki called on Premier Chnu
en-Lai last November to j
pledge to work for restora
tion of trade with the main
land. Believed Opening
Students of the Communist
regime believe this was the
"'opening' for which Peiping
was looking.
Liao's influence as a policy
maker rivals, in many ways,
even that of Foreign Minister '
Chen Yi, competent observers
of Red Chinese affairs here
generally agree. Liao is con
sidered next to Premier Chou
himself when it comes to lay
ing down the line in dealing
with the West.
Thus, the importance of his
visit here can be properly
evaluated. Already it has been
reported in some segments
of the Japanese press that
"business and political circles
are looking forward" to Liao's
arrival.
In the capitals of other
Asian nations-neutral as well
as pro-Wcstern-thc treatment
Liao receives and what he
accomplishes will be viewed
with as much intense interest
as that which Washington can
be expected to observe toward
this top Communist planner
and policy maker's trip.
In House Fire
Los Angelcs-IUPII-Four chil
dren aged from 4 months to
4 years lost their lives Mon
day when fire broke out in
their one - room apartment!
while their mother was tak
ing her other two children
to school. j
Mrs. Anna Marie Morales,!
26. said she had a premonition
of tragedy and returned di
rectly home instead of going
to market on the way back
as planned.
"I felt something was
wrong," she said. "I rushed
back . . . and found my babies
dead."
She sobbed hysterically
when firemen brought out the
bodies of Glenn Morales, I,
Annette, 2, Gay, 4 months,
and a stepsister, Beatrice, 4.
Usually Mrs. Morales took
the four children along in
the auto when she drove
Sammy, 7, and Teresc, 6, to
a nearby school, she said.
"This morning we were
late and the school bell was
ringing," she said. "So I lock
ed the door and let the little
ones sleep."
Firemen said faulty electri
cal wiring probably caused
the blaze.
Texas Receives
Heavy Snowfall
By United Press International
Stagnant moist air that bot
tled up over the Gulf of
Mexico drenched the Deep
South today and pelted Texas
with rain and slush.
Snow up to four feet deep
covered west Texas and meas
ured a foot in the Panhandle
with prospects of more to
come.
Rain fell along the Texas
coast from the Rio Grande
to Louisiana. The Weather
Bureau said an organized sys
tem drifting north from the
Gulf today would blanket
northern Florida, Arkansas,
Tennessee and the Carolinas
and spread into the mid-Atlantic
states by nightfall.
In New York and New Eng
land, snow forecasts remain
ed in effect as mild 40-degrce
temperatures at New York
City began turning last week
end's 17.4 inches of snow into
mountains of slush.
New York City officials
toted up snow removal costs
so far this season at S20 mil
lion. Last week end's snow
alone cost S6 million for re
moval, about $2 million more
than the average bill for an
entire New York City winter.

Average Factory
Work Week Down
Washinglon-IUPH-The length
of the average factory work
week fell to a post-war low
of 38.5 hours in January.
Secretary of Labor Arthur
J. Goldberg said Monday that
this represented an "abnormal
decline" of 18 minutes from
the December figure of 38.8
hours and indicated the "grav
ity" of the business slump.
The work week is consid
ered a key indicator of the
health of the economy. It
fell to 38.7 hours during the
195'8 recession, the lowest pre
vious level since the end of
World War II.
A figure below 40 reflects
widespread cutbacks in over
time and shorter hours for mil
lions of workers.
MURRAY ROBINSON tells about the shopworn prize
fighter who kept urging his manager, "Get me a fight
with Punchy Platnik. I'll moider the bum and we'll be
back in the big money.
You gotta get me a
match with Punchy Plat
nik!" The mar. jger final
ly lost his patience and
exploded, "You wanna
know whv I can't get you
Punchy Platnik? So I'll
tell you : YOU'RE Punchy
Platnik!"
