He especially wanted to be able to assure Chiang Kai-shek that the Chinest Communists would not try to impose a Soviet gov- ernment on the rest of the coun- try if Chiang permitted them to join his Government.
 Stalin assured Nelson that, to the nest of his knowledge, Chin csc Reds had no intention of communizing the country as Chi ang Kai-shek feared.

 MILLIONAIRES IN
 STATE DEPARTMENT
 If newly appointed Secretary of State Ed Stettinius goes through with some of the plans discussed for new Assistant Secretaries, the State Department will really be millionaires' club.
 Here are some of the men on . on the list for probable appoint ment:
 Nelson Rockefeller, now head of the. Latin American cultural of- flee, may be Assistant Secretary in charge of Latin American af- fairs. Rockefeller, son of one of the richest men in America, did a good job in improving war time Pan American relations until CD he began to close down his work, and (2) the whole Argentine mess caused such resentment.
 Will Clayton, millionaire cotton broker and chief aide to Jesse Jones, may be Assistant Secre- tary in charge of economic mat terS. Clayton, who buys and sells more cotton than any man in the world, conceived the idea of boost- ing cotton production in Brazil, making her this country's great est competitor. He succeeded.
 Adolf Berle, whose wife recent ly inherited $3,000,000 in New York real estate, would remain as assistant secretary.
 Lew Douglas, former director of the Budget and former deputy War Shipping Administrator, may become Undersecretary. Popu- lar with the President, Douglas was slated to become Undersecre- tary when Sumner Welles re- signed, but FDR suddenly switched to Stettinius. Doug las is now head of Mutual Life Insurance of New York, his fam fly own large copper mines in Arizona, and he has been close to the J. P. Morgan Co.,, from which Stettinius also springs.
 Jimmy Dunn, closest friend to MT. Hull in the Department, may now be elevated to Assistant Sec retary. Dunn married into the Armour millions. He supplied the croquet field on which MT. Hull played his favorite game when he was well.
