United Press staff Correspondent

SHANGHAI, June 11.-One mil

elder of Tien Tsin to the invading
Nationalist armies.
The city still is in control of
Chang, who has refused to meet
the demands of the Nationalist for
the peaceful withdrawal of the
northern troops.
Reports here said that Chang
Tsung had asked the Chinese
Chamber of Commerce at Tien Tsin
and wealthy Chinese of that area
for 81 100000 before he would assure
peaceful surrender of the city and
withdrawal, of his troops. There
has been y no indications that
Chang's demands were considered.
Meanwhile reports here said that
the National army had refused to
accept the resignation of General
Chang Kai Shek, Nationalist leader,
who offered Saturday to step out of
the revolt against the administrator
of northern China.
