the Japanese on explicit orders from
Chang Kai-shek
This belief was growing among
both peasants and educated classes,
particularly in Central and North
China, when I returned as a repa-
triate from Shanghai in late 1943
Chungking Agents Active.
chungking agents were operating
so extensively in areas supposedly
under tight japanese control that
they even collected taxes. Many
municipal officials were Chungking
appointees who had remained on the
job.
The idea that Wang might be one
of them was strengthened, in Chi
nese minds, by the fact that Chang
had not sufficiently discredited his
onetime subordinate The placing of
price on Wang's head was uncon-
vincing to the Chinese, for this is
an old Oriental custom to cloud the
issue.
Thousands of Chinese did not
actively oppose the Nanking regime
for this reason, though the puppet
government and japanese overlord-
ship both were distasteful to them.
The japanese carefully patured this
tenuous hold on the people.
Chen is Successor.
The japanese now have no Chi
nese capable of retaining such deli
cate allegiance. Wang's immediate
successor, Chen Kung-po, was an
early revolutionary leader who
emerged from many years obscurity
as mayor of Shanghai under the
Japanese.
Chen long has been groomed as
Occupied China's No. 2 official, re-
ceiving f1attering attention from
Tokyo, but he has failed to win the
Chinese even in Shanghai. His inept
administration in that port provoked
direct criticism in Japanese con-
trolled newspapers.

Children 5 Museum
Is Called Essential

The Importance OF Childrens Mu-

stressed yesterday by DR.. Margaret
Mead. anthropologist and author,
in a talk at the museum.
Referring to the recent sale of
the museum property. Villa Rosa
42l5 Massachusetts, avenue NV.
DR.. Mead said:
THE widespread interest all over
the country which has been aroused
by the struggle Of the Children's q
Museum OF Washington to preserve
this ideal setting for its activities
has been 4 token, not only of q
general interest in children's mu-
seums. but a special realization
that Washington was 4 city, after
all"
Familiarity with a childrens mu-
scum program indicates to the
American people that legislator,
and administrators keep their hu-
manity' after coming to Washing
ton. she declared.
IF museums are essential-in
New York or Cleveland or San
Francisco-then 1t Is doubly i'm
portant that there should be great
museums in Washington" Dr.. Mead

Many Issues Await
Congress Returning
To Capitol Tomorrow

The Seventy eighth Congress
comes back to Capitol Hill to-
morrow for the brief session that
ends its existence, with a heavy
legislative docket awaiting action
but with the outlook for accom-
plishment in doubt.
Planning to adjourn for Christ
mas on December 10, Congress is
confronted at the outset with a pro-
posal to extend the miscellaneous
war powers given the President,
which expire December 81, unless
renewed. Favorable action is looked
on as a matter Of routine, although
the Chief Executive and some of his
agencies are almost certain to face
critical debate in which election
postmortems likely will figure
largely.
The annual fight over payroll
taxes which finance old-age insur-
ance payments under the Social Sc
curity Act also is in the ofIing. Un-
less the scheduled increase once
more Is delayed, the tax on en-
ployer and employe will 60 from !
to per cent on January /.
Bill Now Pending.
Legislation to retain the tax at
its present level is pending before
the House Ways and Means Com
mittee and is being pushed also in
the Senate by Senator Vanden-
berg, Republican, of Michigan.
Because Of administration oppo-
sition, the legislation, as such, has
little chance of becoming law un-
less tackled onto some other bill in
the form of a rider"
Other matters awaiting action
include:
A postwar highway construction
program involving the expenditure
Of $1,475,25o 900 of Federal funds.
Renewal of the Federal crop in
surance program, to which both
major political parties committed
themselves in their platforms.
A flood control and rivers and
harbors improvement bill, which
may be sidetracked because of dis
agreements in the Senate. Involving
81 500 ,000,0 900, the bill has received
House approval.
Extension of the statute of limi-
tations applicable to prosecutions or
courts-martial resulting from the
japanese attack on Pearl Harbor:
the current extension expires on
December 7.
Deficiency Appropriation.
A deficiency appropriation bill
also a source of controversy-carry
ing funds for a number of executive
agencies which will be moneyless
