Fighting Bmke 0ut Between Sov’t And fidlllllllllligllS

- By SPENCElLMOOSA CHUNGKING, Oct. 2i — (AP)- Cilina drifted closer to civil war today as Communists rejected a Central Government comfromise and reported widespread ighting between Government and munll troops 1n 11 provinces. The Communist New China Daily News estimated that 800.000 Gov- ernment troops were engaged in the clashes eentring mainly in North China but boilin in Central China and Province cf KWB “ha. An official Communist spokes- man said, however: "We cannot consider the situa- tion represents a civil war until Generalissimo Chia

calls the Communists rebels.”

Neutral quarters regarded tlie Daily News figure of 800,000 Gov- ernment troops involved as exag- gerated, but there was little in- clination to minimize the serious-

ness of the situation. l Pro-Government sources here. who consider military elimination of the Communists the only way oi unifying China. expressed the be- lief that Chiang would embark on n large-scale campaign against the Communistseif it were not for these two factors:

1. Apprehension over the reac- tion abroad. 2. Fears that Russia might nup- port the Communists and thus make the task of subjugatlng them next to impossible. The slme sources believed that if the Communists received no outsédeulaeip and the Govemmeliit con uc a vzeikplunneei, we - executed campaign they could be crushed in three to six months.

They attributed to »Chia.ng’s

atience" the fact that negotia- tions with the Communists have not already exploded into openly- deciared civil war.

LONDON, Oct. 29 — (Monday)- (CP Cable) — Prediction by luusn Wilkinson. Minister of Education, that bread will be rationed in Brit- ain this winter unless the country's paralyzing dock strike ends quickly was splashed on the front pages of London newspapers today.

In a speech at Jnrrow-on-‘Iwne, she said last night rationing would be necessary "unless the grain ships can be turned round quickly enough to get to Canada and away again before the Bt. Lawrence freezes."

The story was displayed in the Daily Sketch under the haadline "gran ships must race ice to save your loaf," and the Daily Mail headed it: "Bread ration this will- te~r unless ships speed up."

Declaring that the St. Lawrence usually freezes from mid-November, the newspapers stressed that the grain ships thus have little more than two vweks to make what the Daily Sketch call-ed "a desperate race for the great Canadian grain centres.”

"Bo the (dock) strike threatens to inflict what even silX years of war could not impose." said the Daily sketch bittmrlyl.

NEW YORK. Oct. 28 -— (AP) — President Truman told the Saturday that the highest hope °5 the American people is the arrive- tion of world cooperation to a point where "atomic methods of dstructlon can be definitely and effectively outlawed forever."

“We seek to use our military strength solely to preserve the eace d the world. For we now

Maritime Claims Pressed Strongly 0n Navy Minister '

OTTAWA, Ont., Oct. 29 — The Maritime members are by n0; means finished workin over the hard-pressed Navy Minster Doug- las Abbott.

The Maritime members, sparked by Percy Black, the Progressive Conservative member for Cumber-

and aft on his stubborn refusal to admit there is any virtue in their arguments for transfer of Can- ada's naval college from the west coast to the east coast where it more properly belongs.

"It was just one more case" charged Mr. Black. "where the Eastern Provinces are the losers for the benefit of Central Canada. the Prairies or the Pacific Coast."

As the week closed, the Mari- time HIEMbCTs were able w beat one committment out of Mr. Ab- bott who lives in the inland city of Montreal. He promised, that while the east coast still might be denied the college, it would con- tinue to be the centre of concen- tration for post-war naval activi-
