(NEA Ttlaphoto) PRICE FIVE CENTS Chinefhight On As Truce Becomes 'Scrap NANKING, June 13 fl'l China 15 (lay truce between warring nationalist and com munist (actions appeared to be reduced to a ernp of paper to day. T h e government's tightly controlled Central News agency n ported nationalist troops were driving ahead in Manchuria and had frustrated attempted land ing by communists near Tsing tuo, where U, S. marines have one of their strongest North China gurrison. Chinese pros dispatches said without other confirmation that martial law had been pro claimed in the Shantung penin sula seaport. While deep concern was shown over the situation in Chiloquin Lad Hurt By Train Clark Zadina. four-year-old son of Mr. and Mr. A. M.

Allison, the train wa going between IS and 20 miles an hour. 11. A. McGhcc, Chiloquin sta tion agent, saw the child start across the track and shouted a warning when he saw the ap proaching train.

Russ Naval Officer Faces New Espionage Indictment SEATTLE, June 13 ) Lt. Nicolnl G.

Allnn Pomcry, assistant dis trict attorney, snid Kennedy, on vncntion in Canada, would be produced in court June 25, as a government witness against Red in.

General Mar bIuiU's headquarter ald It had lulled to halt negotiations for a permanent settlement of China's civil war. A spokesman at the capital said that General Marshall was "continuing with regular af fairs" although no attempt was mode to hide concern over re ported heavy fighting within scope of American marine garri son. A the new crisis In North China seemingly developed new strains on old Issues, Commun ist Spokesman Wang Ping Nan announced an order halting the a'tack on Tsingtuo by commu nist forces had been dispatched to Shantung province by a com munal representative who wa accompanied on his peace mis sion by an American officer. It appeared that the U. S. of ficer was dispatched with the communist representative to avoid an International conflict involving U. S. marines based at Tsingtuo. The communist spokesman described communist activities in Shantung as "self defense" after warning nationalists who were said to "be advancing against communist-held Kingsu cities in six columns. Attacks by nationalist on the commu nist new fourth army were de clared to be under way around Kslaohsien and Tungshan Hsicn south of Hsuchow. In Manchuria the Central News Lgciicy asserted that na tionalist troops had cleared com munists north of the capital city of Changchun and south of the mighty Sungari river and cap tured three more towns Identi fied as Nungan, Swaticn and Swaiteh.

These quarters said that clashes in the vicinity of the city did not nec essarily portend a communist attack on the city itself. ir.en but a British subject. . . . We were rather confident that no American citizen could or would make a charge against Lieuten ant Redin. we assume some White Russian opposed to the policy of Lieutenant Redln's gov. eminent, or someono in contact with Randolph Churchill, who had commented on the case with out having any knowledge of the true facts, might be such a witness." E. B. Colton, Todd Pacific chief engineer, told interviewers that when Kennedy learned from the FBI that today's indictment would disclose his name as the government witness against Red in, he became so upset he ob tained a leave to go to Canada with his family. Colton termed Kennedy an ex cellent and trustworthy worker, and snid that after Redin's origi nal arrest, FBI agents advised Colton they wanted Kennedy protected. The new Indictment covers and corrects the fourth count of the original indictment, dis missed last month by District Judge Lloyd L. Black, because it failed to name any person, and failed to state the name of tlie person, whom Rcdin was alleged to have "Induced." Rcdin was originally arrested nt Portlnnd, Ore., last March and later charged in a five-count in dictment. He posted $10,000 bail then, and was released on an additional $5000 personal recog nizance bond following today's new action. Pomcroy asked the U. S. court today to consolidate the two in dictments for tlie trial June 25. The federnl bureau of inves tigation office here and Pomeroy declined to comment on the part Kennedy played in the case against Rcdin. Friends described Kennedy as a resident of the university dis trict here, about 53 years old, with a wife and four young chil dren. They said he was Scottish born but hnd spent most of his adult life In America and came here about four years ago. He was , described as a chief engineer on ships evacuating British and American civilians from France when the Germans overran that country and to have gone to work in a Bath, Me., shipyard afterward.

Police Raise Held Too Low The SlO-a-month pay raise r.eavtA fnr eilv nnllcemen IS i miin with annroval among the member of the de-jty partmcnt who had originally pe titioned lor a SJU increase, ana one veteran patrolman has re signed to go into more profit able work. Sid Herbert, one of the most experienced men on the force, has resigned, and Frank Black- mer, president of the Ponce Beneficiary association, said that Herbert's reason for quit ting was that his salary was not sufficient for the needs of hi family. The base pay for police now is $195 a month, and the $10 boost which is to go into effect July U will make it $205. i In ..meetings of the' assocl- ation where the pay raise was discussed ' Blackmer said that other Datrolmen had talked of resigning unless they are paid more. The patrolmen petitioned the city council 10 days ago for a $30 a month pay hike and the matter was referred to the bud get committee. That committee, in its budget estimate for the next fiscal year, set up a $10 raise. The budget committee, in granting this raise and other expanded items, is staying with in the six per cent limitation set by state law. That law pro vides that not more than six per cent more money can be budgeted than was budgeted in the highest of the three years immediately preceding. The budget estimate will be published and at that time a date will be set for a public hearing before the council. At this hearing anyone with a pro test over any part of the city budget will be' given a chance to make the protest, and the budget estimate can be changed.

Byrnes Leaves For Shpwdown WASHINGTON, June 13 IIP) Vlth a good-bye, good luck' from President Truman, Secre tary of State Byrnes left today for Paris and a showdown with Russia on European peace settle ments. Byrnes' plane left at 12:26 p. m. (EST), a few minutes after President Truman had waved him and Senators Connally (D Tex.) and Vandenberg (R-Mich.) aboard with a sweeping stroke of his wife's summer hat. Byrnes himself said earlier that the Paris session is a criti cal one in which failure would be a disaster for mankind. He had asked for prayers to sup port his efforts- in dealing with Molotov and Foreign Minister Bevin of Britain and Bidault of France. Connally who, along with Vandenberg, is an adviser to Byrnes, issued an appeal for passage of the draft extension act as he stepped aboard the plane. It is needed, he said, "in view of our foreign commit ments and our far-flung posses sions." There was a brief laughing exchange between Bvrnes nnrt the president, as they posed for photographers beside the plane which is the president's own, ine oacrea tow. Bvrnes said to the nresirtent "Why don't you come and visit us in Paris? " "Well," Mr. Truman replied, migni uo tnat.'. He was laughing and gesturing as they talked. A little later as Byrnes turned to go up the steps into the plane he told the president with a grin, "Get a special plane ana come on over. Again Mr. Truman jestingly repiieo inai ne mignt do that. Mihailovic Testifies American Officer Told Nazis To Turn Over Arms To Him BELGRADE, June 13 (") Gen. Draja Mihailovic told the Yugoslav military court today that he and Col. Robert H. Mc Dowell, chief of a U.. S. mission to Chetnik headquarters in 1944, in a conference with Ger mans that year proposed that they turn over their arms to the Chetnik chieftain "in . view of their coming defeat." Marshall Tito's government in its indictment of Mihailovic charged that the Chetnik leader and McDowell held parleys with the Germans in 1944. Mihailovic, testifying with ap parent reluctance today, said he and McDowell refused to dis cuss tlie "danger of commu nism" with a German officer named Sterker, a deputy of the chief of the administrative staff of - the German command in Yugoslavia in September, 1944. "You need not worry about it," - Mihailovic quoted Mc Dowell as saying when Sterker attempted to bring up the ques tion of the "danger of commu nism in Europe." "Col.

June 13 UP) Maritime negotiations shaped up closer to aereement todav but Harry Bridges' west coast long shoremen remained a major threat to settlement before the strike deadline tomorrow at midnight. Oranville Conway,- war ship ping administrator, said a dis pute remained over "the word ing of four or five ' things." However, one union chief re vealed privately that more than phrasing still was at stake. Bridges' militant union Was reported holding out for 1 cent hourly more than the 22 cents increase proposed by the gov ernment. A compromise, cut ting the amount of retroactive pay going to the stevedores, was a-making but still not made.- . ' : Relaxed tension was-evident, however, as a full-dress nego tiating session convened in mid afternoon for what might be the showdown. A labor department official said . settlement might come this afternoon, tonight, or "maybe tomorrow." The terms were, according to this source: a $17.50 monthly wage increase, overtime pay. rate boosted to $1 an hour, overtime to start at 48 hours in stead of the present 56. Liquor Store Burglarized FORT KLAMATH, June 13: Daylight robbers, who may have intended to return at night for a major haul, broke into the state liquor commission agency here about 7:30 p. nv Wednes day. . Entry was made through the Bricco locker room which ad joins the liquor store . in the same building. A connecting door was forced. 1 The robbers failed to take any more than a bottle or two of li quor, if any, but apparently on their wav out unbolted the back door of the liquor store. It is believed they intended to re turn late at night and remove a larger quantity of the state's aroe stocks here. The robbery was discovered last night, however, and pre cautions taken that prevented the possibility of carrying out such a plan. . BULLETIN SALEM.

Tojo, a worried-looking little man with lined brows, studied each map with deep concentra tion. Each on its great frame above and behind the rows of defendants told a chapter of Japan's aggression and decline over a decade and a half. At the start Japan alone was out lined in the blood-red paint. Then with the succeeding year the red stretched out to the mandated islands, Manchuria, China, the Philippines, Thai land, Burma, New Guinea and the Malay straits. Worm Turns Then came the turn. The red line shrunk as Japan lost the game for empire. Tojo, without expression, turned from the final map and silently stared into his lap. Of all the defendants, only Kenjl Diohara, who was Japan'' "Lawrence of Manchuria," and Mamoru Shigemitsu, who sign-. ea me surrender document for Japan , aboard the USS Mis souri, paid scant attention.

June 13 UP) The house banking committee today approved legislation rati. fying the $3,750,000,000 British loan. The vote was 20 to 5. The legislation., already an. proved by the senate 46 to 34, now goes . to the house floor, where opponents promised a siz zling battle. Banking committee members said the bill probably would reach the floor a week from Monday. The committee vote came af ter long hearings, during which the administration told congress the loan is essential to take the shackles off world trade, to en courage international economic cooperation and to aid world peace. . "Without the loan, the pro ponent argued, Britain would be unable to participate in the Bretton Woods world bank and currency stabilization fund, and this ambitious attempt at inter national economic cooperation would fail. This view was supported by the American Bankers associ ation, United States chamber of commerce and a number of oth er . organizations and individ uals. ish liaison officers at Miha.Ho- vic's headquarters, as witnesses for the defendant. Mihailovic testified yesterday that Bailey advised him to de stroy Tito's partisan force so the way would be clear for an allied landing in Dalmatla. He has testified also that Hudson brought instructions from Brit ish Middle East headquarters at Cairo.- American airmen rescued by Mihailovic' forces may also be requested as defense witnesses but at present this is not part of the defense plans. The gov ernment previously had reject ed a request of the American government that some Ameri can soldiers be allowed to testi fy. 1 . . (Col. McDowell, in a state ment issued Tuesday in New York through the committee for a fair trial for Draja Mihailovic, said the Germans contacted him in 1944 "for the purpose of di cussing the surrender of Ger man forces.''
