the Indians slipped back into fourth

Grifhth and Manager Bucky Harris,

arrival in town a little front-offlce

the perfect et-up that yesterdays rain
afforded for a trade conference IT was

Tribe visited Griffith and there was
light talk of trade, but the Old Fox

interest him.
ONeill, as he had done once before
this season, dangled the name of Willis

Chang Aide Delivers
Plea to Halt War

captive with him today flew here
Pin a record.breaking trip from
Sianfu.
With the fate Of a nation almost
literally in his hands, Gen. Chang
Ting.Wen, the emissary, immedi.
ately met the courageous Nine.
Chang, wife Of the premier, and
her brother, famed T. v. Soong,
financial wizard Of the Chinese
cabinet.
Chang Is 'Well"
Generalissimo Chang and the
other captives of Marshal Chang
HSueh-Liang are all we'll, said
Ting-Wen, but unless the punitive
force of 100000 already speeding
to Sianfu to crush Chang is re-
called they face execution.
China then, he warned, would
be plunged into a long and dis
ruptive civil war that would pave
the way for Japan, standing by
while China exhausts itself, to step
in and grab the whole country.
Begs for Patience
While more than 10000 com.
munist Chinese troops, supporters
of Marshal Chang in his demand
that China fight Japan, rushed to-
ward Sianfu to battle the loyalist
forces, Gen. Chang Ting-Wen pre-
sented a personal letter signed by
Generalissimo Gong begging for
patience.
Many authorities close to the
government, however, feared that,
with the two armies rushing head
long at each other, and with minor
fighting already going on in
Shensi province, it was too late.
CompuISiOn Hinted
The appeal from the premier, it
was also pointed out, may have
been signed under compulSion, al

was treated well while in captivity,
did not indicate any such pressure.
