President Wilson mado plenty of mUtukcs, but In advocating "open covenant openly arrived at ho was on the right track. THE newspnpers ore on the right track In demanding freedom of nows throughout the world, THE Chinese communist put out a roport from their gen eral headquarter that they are nrocccdhiK "full team ahead" with plans for all-out civil war with the central government If current negotiations with Chung king fall. In the event of open civil war, they say, they will fight a they did against tho Japs, voiding positional battles and ' engaging in . purely guerrilla warfaro. ... 'V - '"'' tnj must remember, of course, " that In any such open decla ration thev are iislnn nronn- ganda possibly running a bluff on Chungking. What happens In China will depend largely on what Russia doc about it and what Russia doe about China will be a pretty clear Indication of what she I going to do generally. If she bucks tho Chinese com munists In an all-out civil war, wo can Just about take it for granted that sho is going to back communism wherever It comes In conflict with other systems. MEANWHILE Russla'ployi her v hand with a stiff poker face. Mnlotov, speaking In Moscow at the opening of Russia's ob servance of the 28lh anniversary of tho Soviet revolution (Stalin usually speaks at these affairs ond had been expected to this time) demands ALLIED (includ ing Russia) control of Japan and says there "ought to bo no secrecy about the subject of atomic energy." Russia has no hand at present In the control of Japan. Sho doesn't shure whatever secret thcro Is In connection with the atomic bomb. So, you sec, she ha nothing to lose by demanding a share in both. FROM this distance It looks as if Russia Is following her u sual policy of demnndlng every thing in night. So fur ns wo may judgo by past experience, sho will TAKE everything that is nffprnd or conceded. It Is beginning to look as if wo shall sooner or later navo to como to a showdown. IN tho course of his speech, Molotov snys: "Now that peace ha come, every effort must bo mado not to permit n new aggression. Formntlon of bloc In Western Europe will not crcnto a peace ful Europe." Well, for that matter, neither will a Russln who demands everything In sight HE then produces an ollvo branch and waves It gently. He says: "Tho war-born British - Soviet -American coali tion Is being tested In ponce and tho failure of tho recent London conference of foreign minister (largely becauso of Russian un willingness to co-operate) is a warning of pitfall ahead. But difficulties arose before, too. Tho coalition, however, always found a solution In tho Interests of all." So Russia REMAINS the great mystery, WEATHER (November 8) Max.

Lewis and CIO President Philip Murray, as well as AFL President William Green, wrangled bitterly at the con ference's morning session over the executive committee make up. The matter was Important be cause the executive committee will sift all conference business and have the responsibility for placing subject matter before the conference. ' Murray, one-time ally of Lewis before the UMW leader broke away from the CIO, pro tested any changes in the com mittee makeup. Murray declared he had hcurd reports of a "veri table blitz" by Lewis to get on the conference executive com mittee. Lewi Jumped up and shouted that Murray's words constituted "despicable and unique German terminology." Lewis Roars Gripping a conference table, Lewi roared that "Mr. Lewis doesn't care a tinker's maledic tion whether he is a member of any committee" personally. But tho UMW chief mude clear he wanted hi mine worker repre sented. , Murray retorted that Lewis, from past acquaintance, knew he never employed -"Hitler-like tactics."

Spleen was much in evidence on both sides as the council struggled through Intricate pro cedure to complete the usually simple Job of naming a council president, whose duty Is chiefly that of presiding when the mayor is absent. The vacancy In that office occurred when John J. Keller, veteran council man, resigned two weeks ago as councilman, to be succeeded in the council chair but not the residency by Charles Van loren. Whip Hand The absence of Councilman Martin last night, and the fact that new Councilman Van Doren voted with him, gave Mayor Os tendorf the whip hand over his adversaries. Twice he got to cast the deciding ballot that frus trated the wishes of Councilman Landry ond Rollin Cantrall, who first wanted to put the election off a week until Martin could be there, and then sought to elect Landry to the council presi dency. Only four councilmcn were present last night Can (Continued on Page Two) De Gaulle Quits Post " PARIS,' NovT 6 (P) GenT De Gaulle submitted his resignation as provisional president today to the constituent assembly, return ing the reigns of government to France's first elected legislative body in five years.

The communists, the reports said, envisage a 10-year war and are confident that they can win it. The red leaders were reported as hoping that civil war would be unnecessary and that a settlement would give them' a chance by political means for eventually attaining power. Communists, the reports continued, hoped thev miaht be aoie to stave on tne luii-neagcai civil war bv inflictine a few se vere defeats to the government forces and thereby induce Chiang Kai-shek's government to make concessions. In the event of open civil war, the dispatches said, the communists would fight as they did against the Japanese, avoid ing positional battles and engag ing purely in guerrilla opera tions. "People's Militia" They would use their "peo ple's militia" as a holding force and the regulars to besiege lightly held towns and outposts. Communist quarters at Yen an, the reports declared, claimed several government divisional commanders had defected to them. The communists are busi ly trying to enlist the support or at least obtain the neutrality of "doubtful ' government forces in different areas. The reds renewed today in a considerably moderated tone their charges that American ma rines had clashed with red forces in north China. The communist reports were flatly denied yesterday both in Washington. D. (J., and here. Na tionalist Information Minister K. C.
