Reds Request Marshall To Set Time
Limit On Jap Disarmanent In China
And Withdrawal Of American Troops
. M '
Br SPENCER MOOSA
CHUNGKING, Dec. 24 W)
The communist New China Daily
News urged General Marshall
today to set a time limit on the
disarmament of Japanese troops
In China and the withdrawal of
American forces.
The newspaper assorted that
any American help to Chung
king military, political, fi
nancial or technical before a
coalition government was estab
lished would aggravate "the cur
rent civil war."
The statement of the news
paper, which has been speaking
authoritatively for the commun
ist side, came at" a time when
Marshall was plunging into his
mission of peace for troubled
China.
After conferring with Chiang
Kai-shek, Premier T. V. Soong
and three communist leaders of
the peace delegation assigned
here, Marshall had admitted "it
will be some time before I can
hope to get a picture of China."
Doubt Strengthened
This statement by President
Truman's special envoy to China,
coupled with government sus
picion of a communist truce pro
posal, strengthend doubt that the
civil war would be halted quick
ly. The communists had sug
gested immediate cessation of
hostilities and "freezing" of
troops in present positions. This
would mean government forces
would halt their movement into
MaYichuria.
Marshall said it was unneces
sary to restate America's policy
toward China, as President Tru
man had made that clear.
He had conferred with Soong
just before meeting newspaper
men, and earlier with Chiang.
Yesterday he had a "friendly
exchange of views" with Gen.
Chou En-lai, deputy chief of the
communist party and leader of
the communist delegation to the
political council; Gen Yeh Chien
ying. chief of staff of commun
ist armies, and Tung Pi-wu,
communist member of the Chi
nese delegation at the San Fran
cisco UNO conference.
"I'm in the business of inform
ing myself and not making an
nouncements," he stated.
, - Very Interested
Marshall said both he and
America were "very much in
terested" in the forthcoming
political council ot -which
China's multiple problems will
be up for settlement.
"The United States govern
ment and people have a natural,
intense interest in the Chinese
people," he continued. "That
, interest almost affection was
overrun and brutalized by the
Japanese armies."
He has not yet - considered
making a visit to Yenan, the
communist capital, nor was he
certain he would travel about
China.
'tf'li try to orient myself here,"
he stated, making no estimate
how long he would remain in
Chungking.
Meantime, the government and
the communists continued their
battle of words, each accusing
the other of fighting or prepar
ing to fight in North China. The
communists included an uncon
firmed charge that government
troops used poison -gas Novem
ber 27 in an engagement near
, Paoting, Hopeh province.
United States
Holds Promise
For Refugees
WASHINGTON, Dec. 24 (ff)
The United States held out a
promise today of merrier Christ-
; mases to come for thousands of
Europe's homeless war refugees.
In a weekend directive, Presi
dent Truman, cleared the way
for 39,000 of them a year to be
admitted to this country. He
ordered the resumption of nor
mal quota immigration, saying
' the action by applying to dis-
' placed persons of Europe pro
vides, an "opportunity for Amer
ica to set an example for the
rest of the world in cooperation
toward alleviating human
misery."
Emphasizing that the number
' to be admitted "will be strictly
within the limits of the present
quotas as imposed by law," Mr.
.Truman pleaded against the en
actment of any further restrictions.

Cold Lessens
Over Nation
By The Associated Press
Extreme cold had moderated
over most of the country today,
but sleet and freezing rain
threatened to make holiday
travel treacherous for midwest
and eastern motorists.
Missouri highways already
were "glazed" and the Chicago
weather bureau forecast icy sur
faces for Illinois and Indiana
roads by nightfall, with the con
dition spreading into southern
New York on Christmas Day,
Slippery roads were blamed
for eight traffic deaths in Mis
souri. The District of Columbia
reported two deaths, one by fire
and the other by exoosure.

G Joe Disappointed Bui
Cheerful Over Troop Jam
LOS ANGELES, Dec. 24 (IP)
None of them kissed the ground,
and none of them cheered. They
,. filed impassively down the
ship's gangway with their duf
fel bags, just another bunch of
GI's who had lost out in the
"home by Christmas" rush.
The cheering had come ear-
' lier, when the ship from Ma
nila had docked four days be
fore. Then the word came
they'd stay aboard until other
Pacific veterans, returning ear
lier, had been moved on.
There wasn't a man who
wouldn't admit to disappoint
ments but then GI's are used to
taking what comes. It was a
gray, cheerless day, wet with
heavy rains. But humor crack
led down the aisles of the train
taking them on the shprt ride
to a processing camp.
- "Wow!" howled one,' point
ing at a blonde girl walking by
the track. "Hi, beautiful!"
The train passed a Mexican
settlement, a little brown boy
waving. "First little kid I've
seen with clothes on!" another
exclaimed.
"And nobody's begging us for
cigarettes or chocolate!" said a
third.
At an intersection a civilian
waved a bottle of liquor, and
scores of voices invited him to
"come on with us."
"California sunshine" took its
share of ribbing and "when do
we eat?" became a conversation
piece.
They talked about Christmas,
sure when you asked them.
Sgt. Robert Pennington, Kel
so, Wash., spotted a Christmas
tree in a house window.
"They could hold up Christ
mas for me," he said, "but It
wouldn't be right for my sis
ter's kids if they didn't have it
on the day. I'd hoped to make
it in -time until we were held
up in Luzon."

(Continued from Page One)
said: "We owe our freedom to
you." The' tribute from Avran
ches recalled the Normandy vil
lage where Patton and his third
army broke through the breach
fashioned by the U. S. first
army and overran and liberated
France. The floral piece from
Mctz recalled that Patton was
the first general in more than a
thousand years to storm and
capture that incredible strong
city frontally.
The casket was placed on
beams bridging the open grave
under the canopy.
Reads From Bible
The Chaplain, Col. Edwin
Royall Carter Jr., of Rich
mond, Va., read from the bible:
"In the midst of life, we are
in death."
As he intoned the words, the
flag was lifted from the casket.
Soldiers held It a few minutes
above the silver top as the chapr
lain spoke.
Then he began reciting the
Lord's prayer. Everyone uncov
ered. A squad of Alpine Chasseurs
in whose company Patton had
been an honorary master ser
gent snapped their rifles to at
tention. When the last of the
prayer had been said, the sol
diers folded the flag and handed
it to Mrs. Patton.
A curt command sounded out
side the canopy: "Half left
aim fire." Three volleys
splintered the heavy silence.
And then the notes of a bugle
rang in the air. This was taps
for Gen. Patton, the soldiers'
command for sleep.
