some difheuity in arranging for evacuation of refugees. Admiral Yarnell and Consul General Gauss at first considered using the navy armed cargo boat Gold Star. which arrived from Manila last Friday with 100 marines. But 1t was decided today that the Gold star had insuf. fieient accommodations for civilian passengers,
 Transfer At Sea
 The plan was to have the Gold Star, now tied up ct the Standard oil wraf, take refugees to some point at sea and there transfer them to the liner Mckinley which was to have halted here tomorrow.
 Two hundred were scheduled to sail in the Mckinley. Twenty of these decided today to embark for Kobe, Japan, in the Japanese liner Shanghai Maru.
 Consul General Gauss, realizing at once that any Japanese ships was liable to attack by Chinese. warned all Americans who took the ship to remain below decks and away from port holes while in Chinese waters.
 There was c growing belief that Admiral Yarnell and Consul General Gauss might decide to evaeuate Americans in American warships as far as Japan. Alternate efforts were made to obtain accommodation for them on foreign merchantmen pro. ceeding south to Hong Kong. as this was considered safer than to send them to Japanese ports.

 Mistrusted Loyalty
 Just why Stalin felt 1t necessary to renistitute the system of po- litlcal commissars remains Q moot point, but 1t Is evident that he lnistrusted the unswerving loyalty of certain commanders. Several Of the executed generals had under gone training in Germany during the period of Russo- German friend- ship. It is likely that they retained certain friendships, perhaps ever contacts, with German officers whose military efficiency they ad. mired.
 Appropos of this point an inc!. dent occurred during my visit to Moscow in February which do not pretend to understand. heard . definite rumor that the Soviet and German general staffs had or were about to establish contact.
