I' IS i- hI Pact Signed Merging 2 Opposing Factions Into National Chinese Army By SPENCER MOOSA 1 CHUNGING, Feb. 25 P) An agreement merging central government and communist forc es into . one national Chinese army was signed today at a cere mony witnessed by General Marshall, special U. S. envoy and adviser to this nation's army re organization committee. "This agreement represents the hope of China," General Mar shall asserted after the signing. "I can only hope that its pages will not be soiled by small groups of irreconcilables, who for a sel fish purpose would defeat the Chinese people ' in their over whelming desire for the right to live in peace and prosperity." The agreement provides for re duction of government forces to SO divisions and communist troops to 10 divisions within 18 months. The Sino-American headquarters at Peiping, which is implementing the truce in China's civil strife, is charged with supervising terms of the reorganization. Sign Document Signing the document were Gen. Chang Chih-chung, for the government, and Gen. Chou En lai, communist representative. The reorganization program was formulated at a special mili tary conference in Nanking re cently. The agreement states that its object is to facilitate the eco nomic rehabilitation of China and provide a basis for development of an effective military force capable of safeguarding national security. It provides for a force consist ing of armies of three divisions each, with Bervice troops not to exceed IS per cent of their total strength. ,. China was divided into eight service areas under directors re sponsible to the minister of na tional defense, or the national military council. -Petition Earlier today reports circulat ing in Chungking political cir cles said 14 top ranking generals had petitioned Generalissimo Chiang Kai-shek recently against reducing the army at a time "when the third World War is in the making," but that Chiang refused to halt reduction. In Shanghai several thousand young Chinese staged a noisy demonstration at the Russian consultate general. They sealed the consultate doors with bright colored posters which demanded that the Russians get out of Man churia. Students in ' Chungking, en couraged by the response to their demonstration Friday, planned another "quit Manchuria" pa rade tomorrow. In Hankow plans were announced for a similar demonstration March 4. The term collective bargaining was first used in London in 1891 by Beatrice Webb. Money Can Be Found For Project (Continued from Page One) ferences that it will cost about $370,000 to operate the first year, of which $100,000 would be returned in tuition and ren tals. One possibility is that $100, 000 can be borrowed from state or higher education building funds to finance conversion of living quarters, this to be amor tized by rentals. Funds for equip ment might also come from this source, while the money for in struction for the first year would probably come out of the state's emergency fund. This arrangement would carry the project through the next ses sion of the legislature, which would be asked to make further provisions. Favors Plan Governor Earl Snell declared while here that he favors taking the plant over for the suggested purpose. "We cannot have veterans walking the streets seeking an education," said the governor. "We've got to take care of them. This is the answer to our prob lem unless a better program can be developed." Dr. C. D. Byrne, executive sec retary of the state board of high er education, outlined the edu cational needs for veterans which has projected the Marine Barracks into state consideration. He said that' at least 10,000 vet erans will be knocking at the doors of the higher institutions in addition to regular enroll ments. It was estimated the Ma rine Barracks would accommo date 2S00 students, that it will be co-educational, and not con fined entirely to veterans. Show Interest The visiting officials demon strated great interest in the big plant on the hill and were warm in their praise of its condition, appearance and facilities. They learned the buildings there have a life expectancy of 35 years. Several of the visitors left on Saturday night's train for points north, and others left Sunday. Before leaving, the state men asked Capt. Lowell Coggeshall, senior medical officer at the bar racks, if he would go to Wash ington to help conclude the deal between the state and the navy. If arrangements are made by the state with the navy, Capt Cog geshall will make the trip. FUNERAL NELSON JOSEPH FORTE SB.
