SHANGHAI, Thursday,
Dec. % (UP)-China's high
command, committed to an
"irrevocable" policy of fight
ing Japan to a finish, today
began the task of clearing a mill

western frontier over which Soviet
Russia is expected to pour military
supplies.
Chinese reports said Russia had
agreed to help China, providing
Generalissimo Chang KaiShek, the
"strongman" OF China, remained
at the head Of the central govern
ment.
The report said vast army OF
Chinese Coolies was now at work,
rushing to completion a 3,000-mile
military highway through central
Asia which will enable Russia to
supply China with arms on an al
most inexhaustible scale.
The new highway will cut the
trip by truck to fortnight, instead
of two months as now required.
Chinese Communist leaders were
anxious to retain Chang as the
dominant man in China, because
he is regarded as the only man
capable of bringing cohesion be-
tween the slate and sand OF
China's variegated millions.
Meanwhile the shift to the left

army aviator reported that the ebb-

bar off the Winthrop shore the body
of Sergeant Harold j. Kramer, 35
of the Army Air corps.
Kramer apparently had freed him
self from As pounds of parachute
equipment but still was weighed
with the Kris Kringle costume in
which he had hoped to convince
many a child that there really is
a Santa Claus.
AT Boston airport, where Kramer
had intended to land as the Santa
Claus to a Yuletide party, John
Vincent, also member of the air
corps, hastily donned Kris Kring-
le costume SO the 100 youngsters
would not be disappointed.
In another section of the airport,
Kraner's young wife, near collapse,
waited with their year-old son Dav-

with green and yellow flares during
the three-hour search for the body.

American and British gunboatS.
Lieut.. Col YoShiaki Nishi, special
war office investigator and former
military attache at Washington
visited the American embassy to-
night to discuss the Panay attacks.
Nishi flew to Shanghai two days
after the Panay attack and returned
here only last night.
Nishi said that the Panay attack
involved an isolated japanese army
unit which itself suffered losses
while aiding distressed American
survivors.
A company of japanese infantry
equipped with machine guns, going
down river from Wuhu to Marking
by launch. encountered four big
steamships Sunday and thinking
they were Chinese, concealed them
selves at the river bank lest they
be attacked, Nishi said. Then the
Japanese planes bombed the ships
and afterward the army launches
chased two launches, of which they
captured one 20 find II Chinese in
it, he continued. Machine guns
were used to round up the Chinese
on the shore. Nishi said, but the
japanese officer discovered for
eigners ashore and ordered firing
stopped.
Investigating, the army men dis
covered that the ships were Ameri-
can, Nishi said, and then aided the
American survivors, who in turr
presented them with cigarettes anc

Nishi said that the troops aSsr-

Virginia in Noted
Editorial Skeptical
On Santa Legend

NEW YORK, Dee. %. CUP) =
Forty years ago little girl, almost
in tears because of her playmates'
skepticism, wrote a letter to the
New York Sun asking: "Is there a
Santa Claus?'
The Sun in an editorial written
by Francis P Church, restored
8-year-old Virginia O'Hanlon's
faith for the time being The edi-
torial, since translated into 20
languages, said in part:
YES Virginia, there is a Santa
Claus He exists as certainly as
love and generosity and devotion
exist.
1t was a good editorial, and II
has been reprinted thousands OF
times since, but the promise IN It's
concluding paragraph was perhaps
little sweeping.
Virginia herself lost confidence
in Santa Claus a year after being
assured that" he lives forever, ano
now. 40 years after, doubts tna'
very many children believe in him
as she did once.
Virginia is DR.. Laura Virginia
Douglas, assistant principal OF pub
lie school 81. She suggested today
that "the age of reason, which she
entered when she was 9, comes
earlier to children these days.
THE Santa Claus spirit" she
said. "is not so strong in children
today"
To leaven that gloomy and here
tical thought, however, DR. Doug
las believes that the coming gen.

the Santa Claus tradition.
Nothing" she said, can replace
the spirit of friendship and Joy
that Christmas and the accom-
panying festivities bring

One other situation that threat
ems the equilibrium of our people
is the growing restlessness of la
Dor in the face of conditions en-
forced by Big Business. Already
many thousands of workers have
given up their jobs or have been
compelled by the exigencies of the
labor war to give them up. In the
face of the demands of the unions
for a larger share in the dividends
which they, in company of bust
ness, have created and the stub
born refusal of capitalists to grant
such concessions, the will to peace
is shaken and the future is dark
with ominous fears.
While congress wrestles with
the problems envisioned above we
may not forget that it shall have
called to its attention still another
in which the colored citizens Of
these United States are even more
vitality concerned. Lawlessness still
prevails in the southland. The lives
of our people are yet unsafe.
Southern states cannot or will not
provide the needed protection.
Congress will be asked to enact an
anti-lynching law that will bring
the national government on the
side of law and order. Congress
has been asked to do this before.
It has not done so largely because
we, the people most concerned,
have not put into the asking the
needed insistence. Let US not fail
this time. Let US in Minnesota take
the lead in petitioning our law
makers in congress to work for
such a measure when it is proposed.
Let our ministers and our church
people; let our civic leaders, our
social leaders, our club women,
our men in the street stand united
ly behind such a demand; a de-
mand so just that no congressman
with a heart may refuse. A de-
mand so vital that no congressman
with an eye to his future useful
ness will willingly ignore.
