Reds Charged
With Breaking
Truce Terms
Br SPENCER MOOSA
CHUNGKING. Jan. 17 ()
The national military council to
day charged the communists
with several new violations of
the Sunday midnight truce
which theoretically . ended
China's civil strife. It detailed
each.
(In Yenan, communist eighth
route army headquarters charged
that Generalissimo Chiang Kai
shek "personally and secretly
ordered the commander of the
eleventh war zone on Saturday
to seize strategic communist
strongpoints before the cease
fire order became effective.)
Foreign correspondents here
protested to the government,
through Minister of Information
K. C. Wu, against refusal of
Chinese authorities to allow
American newsmen to accom
pany Chinese troops into any
Manchurian cities until all
Soviet forces are withdrawn.
. Mukden Area
Meantime, the first contingent
of some 1100 Chinese troops of
the new sixth army left Shang
hai for Manchuria' aboard six
American LSTs diverted from
the Japanese repatriation pro
gram. The Chinese are to be
landed at Hulatao and presum
ably are to be used in the Muk
den area, radioed Associated
Press Correspondent Richard
Cushing. They are fully equip
ped for the vigorous Manchurian
weather.
(From Henan, Associated Press
Correspondent John Roderick
radioed in a delayed dispatch
dated yesterday that commun
ist headquarters claimed to
have come into possession of an
order issued January 7 directing
eovernment forces to occupy a
favorable position before the
armistice was effective.
(Party headquarters instructed
lowine his death in 1913 she con
tinued to make her home there
until 1922 when she moved to
Portland.
Chou En-lal, communist repre
sentative in Chungking, to pro
test strongly to the government,
contending that fighting which
continued between the signing
of the armistice and its effective
date was due to a direct order
of Chang rather than to faulty
communications.)
The national military council
here asserted that 5000 commun
ists on Monday seized control of
the Manchurian port of Yingkow
after a seven-hour fight in which
it overwhelmed a small govern
ment garrison.
It said further that on Tues
day 40,000 communists attacked
Taian and Shantung in the Tlent-sin-Pukow
railroad and other
points on the railroad in Hopek
ana mangsu provinces.

Higher Milk
Prices Seen;
Meet Slated
WASHINGTON. Jim. 17
mc government u acneduling a
series of meetings which may rc
su t eventually in higher milk
prices.
These Increases possibly
months away would bo two
cents a quart during tho spring
and summer and three cents a
Quart during winter months.
The first of the hearings will
open at New York todnv. Tho
second will be held for tho Bos
ton milk market next month.
Today's gathering comes a
week after it becomes known
that Secretary of Agriculture
Anderson Is urging an Immedi
ate hike of six cents a pound In
OPA butter price ceilings In nn
effort to encourage greater pro
duction, Dairy Proposals
The milk price hearings will
be conducted by the department
on what it describes as dairy in
dustry proposals to raise pro
ducer prices of fluid milk when
the government's $525,000,000 a
year dairy production subsidy
program is ended.
Stabilization Director John C.
Collet, to whom Anderson car
ried his butter fight, announced
in November that the dairy sub
sidy program would be discard
ed by June 30. ,
Dairymen want their prices In
creased by the amount thev
would lose through termination
of the subsidy program which
was begun during the war to
spur greater production of milk
without increasing retail prices.
Fix Prices
The agriculture department
has authority to fix dnirymen's
frntes in large city mine mni'Ket
ng areas operating under a fed
eral milk order, provided such
prices are approved by two
thirds of the dairymen supplying
the market.
Any Increase, however, may
be many months awny because
since Collet's announcement
there have been reports that
President Truman may ask con-
ffTCM tn PnntimiA thn nntlpa fnnil
subsidy program another year.
ii aucn an cxn-usiun snouia oe
granted, the price rise would be
delayed.
