4 CHAN'S TERNS 70 END CVIL WAR ARE} STUDED AT NARKNG Crack Troops Push Towards Stronghold of Rebel Chief- * ~ tain at Siantu . (By the Asseciated Press) Nanking, Dec, 18.—()—High offi- cials of the Chinese government were called into session Friday under the protection of armed guards to hear what were thought to be the terms Marshal Chang Hsueh-Liang has dictated to end the civil war and free Generalissimo Chiang Kai-Shek. Arrival of Gen, Chiang Ting-Wen from Stanfu focused the nationalist government's efforts on peaceful ne- gotiations to release the generalissimo while their crack divisions pushed to- ward the rebel stronghold of Sianfu under terse orders to storm the city if all other means failed. Gen. Chiang Ting-Wen was freed by Marshal Chang Wednesday to carry his demands to the Nanking government. Officials Confer General Ting-Wen, who had been held captive witt his chief since the beginning of the rebellion last week-end, immediately went into conference with Dr. H. H. Kung, civil head of the government; Dr. T. V. Soong, brother-in-law of the general- issimo, and Mme. Kai-Shek. Tt was fellably believed General Ting-Wen brought a letter signed by Kai-Shek urging the Nanking gov- ernment to halt military action against the mutineers. Thoroughly mystified, the Chinese officials were felt to believe the letter had been written under pressure. Adding uncertainty to the confused situation was the mystery surround- ing James Elder, Marshal Chang's adviser, whose arrival at Nanking ‘Thursday was thought to have paved the way for any definite terms Gen- eral Ting-Wen was bringing. Leaves for Shanghai Bider, a British subject, informed the British embassy he was with- drawing from the negotiations and it was believed he had left for Shanghai. Elder previously had been reported as leaving for the northeast either to report to Marshal Chang or to enter into new negotiations at the “neutral” city of Talyuan-Fu, capl- tal of Shansi province. Elder's day-long conference with Nanking officials Thursday was thought to have concerned at least the immediate return of Kai-Shek regardless of what disposition might be made of Chang’s demands thet the government, reorganized to in- Clude communist elements, declare war on Japan.

That is, Tho From WPA to RRA Weather Report WEATHER FORECAST For Bismarck and vicinity: Transfer Accomplished in Ord- erly Manner, Relief Chiefs Agree Transfer of thousands of North Dakota's needy from work rolls to a grant basis in preparation for the winter season is being accomplished in an orderly and methodical manner, state relief authorities agreed Friday. Already decreased by approximate-| an ly one half, the burden of the Works administration directed in North Dakota by Thomas H. Moodie stood Friday at approximately 18.000 cases while the organization headed by Harold Wood, Rural Resettlement administration director, has absorbed these steadily. There are approxi- mately 25,000 cases on the ment rolls, The shifting burden is pointed to-; ward a winter picture that will have the urban relief load in cities, vil- lages and towns with the WPA and the farmer-relief under rescttlement’s Get $40-$48 Monthly Moodie said his clients are receiv- ing from $40 to $48 a month depend- ing on the “going wages” in the com- munity where they live and living costs there. They work 100 hours a month, he said. 1 These men are working to complete dams already begun, and many per- sons are employed in sewing rooms, sewer projects, educational research projects and generally a continuation of the WPA program. Curtailment of WPA activities in- volves only the drouth relief load and further reductions {n the WPA load as applied to farmers are to be made, Moodie explained. On Grant Basis Drouth clients are assigned to re- it was explained by Iver Acker, as- sistant resettlement administrator for North Dakota, they present their dis- charge form from WPA and apply to the county supervisor for resettle- i ment aid. The county supervisor makes up an application form for assistance on & grant basis and assigns the applicant on resettlement rolls without a de- tailed investigation. Acker explained that in the inter. ests of speed, the supervisor 1s au: thorized to assume the brief ques- tionnaire clients fill in are answered correctly but before the second grant is made 30 days iater an investigation must be made to convince himself of | < the actual need. All Will Be Cared For “AU WPA farmers or farm labor- ers: will be taken care of by the Re- settlement administration with grants depending on the necd,” Aker stated, The average North Dakota grant cannot exceed $23 but county super- visors can expend up to $30 and with special approval by the regional of- fice can go beyond that to a limited degree, he said. “This is an increase in averages over last year, because the need is greater as the result of a drouth which ruined many gardens and in- come from cows being limited because of lack of feed,” Acker asserted. One Source Left Where checks are slow or fur some reason a grant is not sufficient the only other agency from which aia may be sought is the welfare board whose resources are about gone until additional monies are made avail- able. Acker pointed out that other aia, however, is plement the relief clients income; this is the surplus commodity super- vised by the welfare boards. Generally federal ynits estimated funds on hand would carry them to Feb. 1 but that additional monies would be necessary from einergency congressional appropriations. - ee ee | Milk Truck Upset | | Without Damage | —_—_—_———_ Hagerstown, Md., Dec. 18.—(?)— Tt is news when: A dairy truck, loaded with milk bottles rounds a curve; And the driver swerves to avoid hitting another vehicle; And the truck overturns; And not a bottle is broken.

Editor, Tribune: “Reading the article of Redington, under the heading “A Protest” (People’s Forum; Dec. 8th), I wonder, should we laugh or cry?. After stating in paragraph one that it appears there is no pro- » . he tells us in the fourth that “In the’ physical there is the stern hand of protest” . . .; and in the fifth “So there is another un- spoken or spoken protest,” and in the sixth “Then there is the greatest pro- test from our creator who owns us,” . atfd so on. ft does not seem to make sense. Did the creator hand him a specially written protest? I have read a little about Nietz- sche’s Superman, Hitler's political in- fallibility and the Pope's infallibility but here we seem to be up against & Supergod who is not willing to let the “creator who owns us, the world and all creation, whether @ mountain, 8 railroad track, a cement Tadio or a building used for a beer parlor,” run the show. Evi- dently Mr. Redington considers him- self more capeble of handling the sit- uation than his aforesaid described creator and wants to run the affairs according to his superior knowledge and experience. Perhaps it would be best for him to “consider our (his) salvation and a home in a better world” . . . and go there, for it is quite obvious that we, who are des- tined to “go to the other place” (whatever that means) will not tol- erate fellows who can do everything better than. everybody else and e better than the “Creator” who owns the beer parlors, the wine, women and song’ that go with them and all the little moments. of joy that. man may be able to grab on his forced . speed race across his little life-track, gener- ally rightfully called the vale of tears.
