Serious Blow in Loss
Of City Of Changteh
Admitted by Chinese

| BY the Associated Press.
CHUNGKING, Dec. 8.-Fall of

bitter fighting in which both sides
suffered heavy losses was announced
by the Chinese high command yes
terday, and 1t was acknowledged
here today that the setback repre-
sented severe economic and mill
tary blow to China.
Loss of the city opened the pros
pect OF a new japanese drive on
Changsha, capital of Human Prov
ince, which the invaders three times
previously have tried unsuccess-
fully to take. At the same time, the
victory gave the japanese control
of the rice bowl" region and cut
the Hunan-Szechwan supply line.
| thus depriving the Chinese Army of
one of its principal sources of sup
ply.
800 of Chinese Division Survive.
The Chinese communique an
nouncing the fall Of Chargteh, once
one OF the most thriving spots In
Central China, said that few more
than 300 men of the Chinese 57th
Division had survived the bloody
battle, which ended December 3.
(The japanese announced Sat-
urday that they had completed
occupation of Changteh)
Gen. Yu Cheng wan, commander
of the 57th Division, whose epic de-
fense Of Changteh made him a ma

which said Gen. Yus men had
fought until their ammunition was
exhausted. estimated japanese
losses up to December 2, at 10000
killed and wounded.

the southern and northern suburbs
of Linli, north of Chengteh, which
recently was recaptured from the
Japanese.

scattered areas in Hupeh and Hun

Postwar Cooperation
Of Labor, Business
Asked by GirdIer
BY the Associated Press.


NEW YORK, Dec. 8:-Indu5trial
list T. M. Girdler said today CO.
operation between industry ano
labor was one of the prime requisites
OF prosperity in the postwar period. ;
The chairman of Republic Stee.
Corp. and of Consolidated -Vultee
Aircraft Corp, in an address, before
the second war congress of the Ma
tlonal Association of Manufa cturers
outlined four cornerstones on which
industrial peace might be built:
Il. Recognition of the principle OF
collective bargaining:
2. Recognition of the right CT
employees to join or not to join any
labor organization;
3. Scrapping of the class conflict
idea in labor management relations
and recognition that cooperation
between men and management nat
urally follows mutual understand
Ing of each others problems;
a. Incentive for investment and
work-a fair return for venture capi-
tai, and fair wages for employees"
Would Bar MonopoIies.
Mr.. Girdler said unsound and
homeopathic attitudes and prac-
tloes OF either management or labor
would thWart cooperation for full
employment which is indispensa ble
to the achievement of jobs, freedom
and opportunity in postwar America
Industry must examine itself to
meet this test, as searchingly as any
other group he said. "Moncpolies
and any similar practices that pre-
vailed in some seements of industry
in the past should have no place in
any postwar program
Mr. Girdler said labor leaders like
wise should use neW-found powers
wisely and not ruthlessly because
IF they disregard the rights and
interests of others, the pendulum
will swing back against them
That always happens in this
country when any selfish groups get
overpowerful, he added 1T hap
pened to great financial interests
so years ago when they forgot the
country in their greed for power"
Cites Lack of Confidence.
The industrialist told the MANS
48th annual conference-dedicated
to production for victory and post
war jobs'-that Government also
had real responsibility and added:
"One of the great deterrents to
var production and postwar plan
ming is the uncertainty as to the
overall attitude of Government to-
ward business"
Mr.. Girdler said there was need
for clarifcation on many points of
Government policy. including those
governing termination of war con-
tracts, disposal of Government
owned plants and ending of war
time controls and restrictions.
In the aircraft industry, he added,
the cold fact is that this industry
will be bankrupt in 80 days after
the war if there is no proper solu-
ton of the contract termination
problem"
