Nelson Prepares to Go
Back to China With Experts

A second effort to stimulate Chi
mas war industries was underway
today as Donald M. Nelson, former
chief of tie War Production Board,
planned to return to Chungking with
a staff of technical experts.
The White House announced late
yesterday that Mr.. Nelson had been
directed by President Roosevelt to
hurry back to China at "the earliest
possible date" The production chief
and Mr.. Roosevelt held a long con-
ference yesterday.
From Chungking the Associated
Press reported that the announced
return Of Mr.. Nelson to China was
greeted as Injecting a hopeful ele-
ment into Chinese american rela-
tions, beclouded by events leading to
the recent recall of Gen. Joseph w.
Stilwell."
Here, too, observers assumed that
the unpleasantness resulting from
what Mr.. Roosevelt has called a
clash of personalities between Gen.
Stilwell and Generalissimo Chang
Kai-shek will be forgotten in new
effort to make China a potent foe
of the japanese.
Accompanying Mr.. Nelson will be:
Howard Coonley, WPB official and
former president of the National
Manufacturers Association, with ex-
perience in industrial engineering
and various types of manufacturing;
Eugene NJ. Stallings, technical ex-
pert on alcohol production; Herbert
w. Graham, chief metallurgist of
Jones & Laughlin Steel Corp, and
four other steel experts.
The White House said Generals
simo Chang had urged that Mr..
Nelson return. Mr.. Nelson went to
China this summer to discuss with
the Chinese leader the project he
now is undertaking.

be in France at the time Of the
Armistice Day celebrations.

approximately $4,000 members of
the Mechanics Educational Society
of America in more than score of
Detroit area war plants began at 10

proximately 1000 employees of the

troit factories had been ordered to

Glass Son Doubts Senutov
Has Indorsed Fourth Term

The reported fourth-term indorse-
ment by Senator Glass, Democrat,
Of Virginia was in dispute today.
At his home in Lynchburg last
night, Powell Glass, son Of the Sem
ator and general manager of his
newspapers, the Lynchburg News
and Advance, was quoted by the
Associated Press as saying he had
every reason to doubt the truth"
of report emanating from white
House spokesman" that Senator
Glass favored the reelection Of
President Roosevelt.
The report came from the White
House Tuesday morning. It was at
tributed to War Mobilization Di-
rector James F. Byrnes by Presi-
Dental Secretary Stephen T. Early
As explained by Mr.. Early, Sena-
tor Glass called Mr.. Byrnes Monday
night to congratulate him on a
radio speech he had just made for
President Roosevelt and said it ex-
pressed his own views as to why
President Roosevelt should be re-
elected"
Mr.. Early said he had been ad-
vised by Mr.. Byrnes' Office that Sen
ator Glass was among a number
who called to voice approval Of the
speech.
When the President was asked at
his news conference today II he had
received any word that Senator
Glass is supporting him for the
fourth term, he said the question
better be directed to Mr.. Bynes.
At Mr.. Byrnes' Office, it was said
he would not have any comment on
the matter.
Too Ill for Contact.
Powell Glass, in a statement, said
he had not been informed Of any
decision by Senator Glass to sup
port fourth term. The Senator is
at the Mayflower Hotel and the son
said the condition of his fathers
health did not permit direct contact
with him for discussion Of busi-
ness.
He said further that Senator
Glass, who put former Postmaster
General James A. Farley in nomi-
nation against President Roosevelt
at the Chicago convention four
years ago, has not instructed his
newspapers in any respect about
their position in this campaign,
though throughout the News and
the Daily Advance have consist

emily refused to announce support
of fourth term"
Powell Glass issued his statement
in response, he said. to several re-
quests for comment on reports that
Senator Glass had declared himself
on the fourth-term issue.
The statement was directed to
William Lavarne Of New York City
who wired asking: "Since when have
the people of Virginia been forced
to accept as opinion Of their senior
Senator the secondhand state
ments of the White House. Does
Harry Hopkins now speak for the
Senator Of Virginia?"
words Of Secretary Early"
Powell Glass replied as follows:
Neither Harry Hopkins, nor q
White House spokesman, not any
one else, speaks for Senator Carter
Glass. So far as know, my father
has not made any announcement in
favor of a fourth term. have every
reason to believe that he has not
done so.
II have this day telegraphed the
New York Herald Tribune In re-
sponse to a query that Rixey Smith,
Senator Glass secretary, has in
formed me that Sterilization Direc-
tor Byrnes had told him (Smith)
that he had given Senator Glass as
one of those who had congratulated
Mr.. Byrnes on his recent speech, and
that the list had been given Secre-
tary Stephen Early for the informa-
ton of the President, and not for
publication. In other words, the
words you have quoted in your tele-
gram seem to be the words of Secre-
tary Early.
Senator Glass has not informed
me, the general manager of his
newspapers, of any decision to sup
port a fourth term. He has not in
structed his newspapers in any re-
spect about their position in this
campaign, though throughout the
News and the Daily Advance have
consistently refused to announce
support of a fourth term for Presi-
dent Roosevelt, or for any one. This
in spite of the fact that heretofore
Senator Glass has made his wishes
known on such important matters.
ITO repeat: I have every reason
to doubt the truth of the White
House spokesmans statement, but,
unfortunately, my fathers health
does not permit of direct contact
with him at the present time for
discussion of business

Soong Denies u. 5.
Pressed for Solution
OF Communist Issue
BY SPENCER MOOSA,

CHUNGKING, Nov. 3.-For-
eign Minister r. v. Soong today
denied reports of American
pressure for a solution of China s
Communist problem and pre-
dicted a new deal in relations
between China and the United
States.
Mr.. Soong declared that the re-
call of Gen. Joseph w. Stilwell was
entirely a question Of personality, y
and that Generalissimo Chang Kali
shek and the former commander in
chief OF United States forces in the
China -Burma-India theater did not
like each other, and could not work
together. He said this relationship
dated from the first year of Gen
Stilwell's stay in China.
Soong's Statement.
Mr.. Soong issued the following
written statement-the first official
Chinese comment to be made here
since Gen. Stilwells recall:
When Gen. Stilwen was recalled
my government did not consider
making any explanation because it
was purely a military matter.
However, there have arisen many
speculations on the cause Of this
development, particularly in the
United States, many Of which are
unfounded.
I'VE have no intention of dealing
with them now because there is
war going on and it Is felt that in
time any wrong impressions will be
corrected by events.
"The recall of Gen. Stilwen was
entirely a question of personality
and has nothing to do with any
difference of policy between China
and the United States.
Better Understanding Seen.
"On the contrary, when Maj. Gen.
Patrick Hurley and Mr.. Donald Mel
son, as personal representatives of
President Roosevelt, came to confer
with my government on closer mill
tary, political and economic CO.
operation, complete agreement was
reached between us.
Il don't know If Gen. Hurley or
Mr.. Nelson feel themselves In a DO
sition to speak publicly, but if they
do I am sure they will agree with
this statement.
Far from any rift developing be-
tween China and the United States,
I believe that from now on relations
between the two countries will be
more understanding, more intimate
and more fruitful than ever before.
"Of course, this statement touches
on the realism of prophesy and it
will be future events that will either
justify or fasify it. But I, for one,
feel entirely optimistic"
