Oct 27 (TpT A feeling of distinct uneasiness prevailed in Chungking today about Russia's China policy, as indicated by Moscow s reported refusal to allow Chinese govern ment troops to land at Dairen and Port Arthur. This alleged refusal was con sidered by some here an open violation of Chinese sovereignty over Manchuria. sDecifically ac knowledged by Russia in the re cent Sino-Soviet pact. Official Chinese quarters showed pronounced reticence in discussing Sino-Soviet relations, in obvious -fear of incurring Mos cow s displeasure, but strong un dercurrents of resentment were not difficult to trace. Chinese circles were ' per turbed about the alleged Russian transfer of much of Manchuria's movable wealth, which from tes timony of reputable witnesses was accepted here as fact. Junior officials assigned to posts in Manchuria privately confided to friends tnat all Chi nese appointees there required tacit if not explicit approval of Soviet authorities, Although the Sino-Soviet pact provided that Russian material aid to China be made through the central government, differ ent quarters here claimed this clause was not being fulfilled, and they complained that Mos cow" had not severed all links with Chinese communists. A Skeleton In The Closet! Rumors of an 18-foot skeleton being unearthed in the vicinity of Klamath Falls have brought numerous Inquiries to Klamath county chamber of commerce, . How the rumor started no one seems to know. One theory be ing that since the story seems to have some connection with the ancient Indian petroglyphs at Tulelake, It may have grown from the fact that the drawings are about 18 feet up the side of the cliff. One inquirer enclosed a clip ping from "Amazing Stories" magazine stating that "such a skeleton has been discovered at Klamath Fa Is." Charles R. Stark, manager of the chamber of commerce, re ceived three Inquiries in one week regarding the out-size skel eton.
