Gen. Marshall Meets With Chinese
Factions To Seek End Of Shooting
CHUNGKING, Jan. 7 (IP)
Gen. George C. Marshall met to
ihv with envernment and com'
munist peace negotiators and at
the end or vne nrsi msiuriu sua
sion declared that "we have
made rjroaress."
President Truman's special
envoy, making his first com
ment since he stepped into the
miHot M dm Chinese negotiations
after the rivals agreed to meth
ods leading to a truce, saia vne
conferences wouia De resumeu
tomorrow.
Marshall met for about three
hours with Gen. Chou En-lai,
head of the delegation the com
munists sent here to talk peace,
and Gen. Chang Chun, repre
senting the Chinese government.
. All three emerged smiling
from the conference. Both
Chang and Chou agreed with
Marshall that progress had been
made.
Earlier ' Chou had predicted
that a truce halting the spotted
fighting in China's civil turmoil
would.be made effective before
Thursday, when China's all-
party conference opens its peace
meeting aesignea ro siun me
peril of civil war and work out
a program of peace and unity.
It was reported reliably that
the cease lire oraer wouia
. be eiven when the committee of
three concludes its work, pos
sibly tomorrow.
- Truce Discussed
It also was understood that no
political problems were touched
up at today's session, which was
devoted entirely to a discus
sion of details for the truce .and
the restoration of China s par
alvzed communications.
The session took place at
Marshall's residence which since
his arrival in Chungking late last
month has been- one of the
busiest spots in the war-time
caDital.
It was generally conceded that
Marshall's direct participation
in attempts to solve the current
crisis aroused far greater hope
of settlement than has existed
before. - -
After the conference, Marshall
told reporters it would be "high
ly undesirable" to disclose the
character of the talks now, but
promised that a full statement
would be made when they are
finished.
To this Chou added: "It's been
a good morning."
"It went very well," added
Chiang.
Communist and government
leaders reportedly were study
ing the first draft of cease-fire
orders today. As soon as the
two parties agree on wording,
the orders will be submitted for
General Marshall's approval, re
ported Dr. Lo Lung-chi, a spokes
man for China's democratic
league.
. Reds Reconciled
Lo said the proposed truce
would not apply to Manchuria,
because it was not regarded as
a zone of hostilities. Observers
here said this might indicate
that the Chinese communists
were reconciled to control of
, Manchuria by Chiang Kai-shek's
national government.
Occupation of that industrially-rich
area by Chiang's troops
meanwhile proceeded without
reported opposition. A semi-official
dispatch confirmed pre
vious reports that national troops
began landing by air at Chang
chun, Manchurian capital, on
Saturday. And in Shanghai,
U. S. Lt Gen. Albert C. Wede
meyer announced that Am'erican
navy ships would begin within
10 days to move za.uuu umnese
government troops into Manchuria.
