cal Council to Minister of Informa-
tion, and Liang Han-chao, from
Minister of Information to Minister
of Overseas Affairs.
AL circles in Chungking welcomed
the government reshuffle, although
to many it did not appear far-reach-
ing enough. Some observers pointed
out that while Kung was removed
from Ministry of Finance he still re-
tanned tine highly important post of
vice president of the executive Yuan
(vice premier) and still was the
head of four government banks.
Gen. Ho Ying-chin apparently
still retained his post as chief of
the general staff.
Criticism Recalled.
Some quarters noted that both
Kung and Ho Ying-chin were sub
jected to criticism at a recent Ses-
sion of the Peoples Political Coun-
Gil, where their resignation was ad-
vocated openly.
The important question to many in
the foreign quarter was whether the
changes are ,forerunners of new ones
and whether the changes would ex-
ert any influence toward a compro-
mise between the government and
the Chinese Communists.
Chen Li-fu, as new minister OF
the Kuomintang Board, controls al
party branches in China. The pat
ronage is considerable.
Cheng Li-sheng, as minister OF
the interior. supervises various ad-
ministrative units and has genera.
direction of the Chinese police.
Gen. Chen Cheng is considered
one of China's ablest commanders
He is popular both with the army
and the people He has won high
reputation as an administrator since
he assumed the governorship of HUI

Former Shanghai Mayor.
o. K. Yui formerly was Mayor
of Greater Shanghai and acted as
Chinese spokesman there during
the battle of Shanghai. He be-
came vice minister of finance in
l941. He has good reputation
as sound, honest official.
The new minister of information
Wang Shih-chieh, assumes the di-
rection of censorship. He is close,
trusted adviser of Generalissimo
Chang Kai-shek and may be able
to induce improvement in censor
ship conditions. He led the Chinese
mission to Britain and during the
last six months has been chief me-
gotiator In discussions with the
Chinese Communists.

quick and decisive, Gen. Chen is A
years old. He was graduated from
the Paoting Military Academy in
1929 and was vice minister of war
in 1887. Besides extensive expert
ence as a field commander he has
been head of the Political Training
Board OF the National Military
Council. Since 1887 he has been
governor of invaded Hupeh Prov
ince and commander in chief of the
9th war area.
He is known as being meticulous
in financial matters and thoroughly
dependable once his word is given.
Last year he became i'll with a
stomach ailment. An American
Army transport plane brought in
some canned milk from India which
had been prescribed for him. De-
spite his weakened condition he re-
fused the milk until he had paid
for it.
Turned Back Japs.
In the late spring of 1943 when
japanese forces raided the Tung-
ting Lakes rice bowl and pushed into
Western Hupeh, Gen. Cheng took
command and turned back what
might have been an enemy attack
on Chungking. He had been less
successful in an earlier campaign
when the Japanese captured the i'm
portant Yangtze River city of
Ichang.

H. Kung, who is now in this coun-

The new finance minister inherits
fullblown economic and financial
crisis with an attendant train Of
vicious speculation, blackmarketing
and graft. Rising prices and in
1ated currency have been running
ahead of the tons of paper money
printed abroad and flown over the
hump in competition with actual
war materiel.
Influence May Be Waning.
With Kung out as finance minister
the influence of the Soong family
may be waning in Chungking. Kung,
descendant of Confucius, is a
brother-in-la law of Nine. Chang Kai-
shek, who also is in the United
States. Nine. Sun Yat-sen tSoong

the Chinese republic and also sister

of foreign minister and regarded by
many as the outstanding financial
genius of China, is reported out of
favor in Chungking.
Kung's retirement might mean a
rise in Soong'S fortunes,

|5timson Tells Hebet
Army Can Pull Dads
Out Of Combat Duty

Secretary of War Stimson today
regretfully advised Representative
Hebert, Democrat, OF Louisiana II
would be impossible for the War De-
partrnent to adopt a policy to ex-
clude pre-Pearl Harbor fathers from
front-iine service.
The Louisianan had made the
suggestion while commencing Secre-
Itary Stimson for adoption of policy
whereby the surviving son of fam
lily is taken out of combat service
when two or more brothers have
been lost in battle.
Secretary Stimson wrote Mr.
Hebert:
Il very keenly appreciate the gen.
uineness OF your appeal in behalf OF
these men and consider it a most
unpleasant duty to decline your re-
quest. However, in this as in many
other situations with great human
appeal, the extent to which the Army
can conform is severely limited by
military considerations so long as
winning the war remains our major
concern.
1--WE are doing what we can, OF
course. to ease situations of this sort
and only recently adopted the policy
mentioned in your letter. 1t
was not our intention, of course, to
grant large families special consid-
Grafton; We simply were compelled
to devise the policy in this manner
because, with these limitations, 1t
would not eliminate an exception
