Ranking U. 5. Chiefs
lin China Return 10
Report on Situation
By JOSEPH H. BAIRD.

The future role of United States
forces in China, including the
question OF whether this country
will continue to train and equip
Chinese armies, was before the ad-
ministration today as Americas top
ranking diplomatic and. military
chiefs in China began q series OF
conferences with the State and War
Departments.
Both Maj. Gen. Patrick j. Hurley,
American Ambassador to Chung
king, and 1t. Gen. A. g. Wede-
meyer, commander of United States
troops In China and adviser to Gen.
eralissimo Chang Kai-shek, arrived
at the National Airport yesterday
within six hours of each other. They
were expected to begin business dis
cussions today.
| Training Chinese Forces.
On his arrival. Gen. Wedemeyer
was asked If the United States
planned to continue to train Chinese
forces. That, he said, was one of
the questions he came here to dis
cuss with Gen. George c. Marshall,
Army chief of staff, adding that he
could say nothing definite in advance
of his report to the War Department.
Then he added:
II don't think any commitment
has been made on that yet, but you
can say 1t is under consideration.
The general also revealed that the
Chinese government plans soon to
move the capital from Chungking
back to Marking from which the
central government was forced to
flee after the Japanese occupied 1t.
Nanking, he explained, is a more
central and convenient location.
The first person to greet him
was Mrs. Wedemeyer.
Returns With Others.
The general was accompanied to
Washington by dozen other OIL
GERS and enlisted men from the
China theater, including a former
West Point classmate, Col. John
r. Vance Of Boise, Idaho, who was
finance oficer to Gen. Jonathan
Wainwright on Corregidor. He had
been q prisoner of war in the same
Manchurian camp as his chief, who
returned here earlier this month.
Although thin, Col. Vance ap-
peared to be in good health. He
was the first to descend from the
plane, and his wife had not seen
him since she was evacuated with
other civilians from Manila shortly
before Pearl Harbor.
Ambassador Hurley. who arrived
during the morning, is expected to
report to President Truman and the
State Department ON recent po-
litical changes in China. His efforts
during the last two years, to pro-
mote reconciliation between Gen.
eralissimo Chiang's central govern
ment and the Chinese Communists
OF the north appear to have been
successful at last. according to re-
cent dispatches from Chungking.

Two more daring missions carried
out by officers and men of the Once
Of Strategic Services-one Of them
by q former movie star-have been
revealed by the secret espionage or
ganization.
Capt. John Hamilton of the Ma
rines, better known as Sterling Hay
den of the films, played a real-life
daring role as leader of an OSS
rescue squad in the Balkans. A
professional schooner skipper before
going to Hollywood, Capt. Hamilton
operated small fishing boat along
the Dalmatian coast, helping
downed Allied airmen to safety and
carrying supplies to OSS agents and
partisans in Yugoslavia and Greece
Later, with two enlisted men
Capt. Hamilton parachuted into

man units, Capt. Hamilton and his
men worked their way back through
the Balkans to Italy, picking up

OIL ACTION
ON UPGRADE

The second oil boom to hit
Venezuela which is expected to
up the output of the cOuntry's
fields far beyond the present
daily 10000 barrels is getting
under way in the eastern and
central sections of the country
where almost every American
company is drilling.
The first boom was near Lake
Maracaibo where more than gbil-
lion barrels have already been
brought to the surface.
The potential of the producing
fields is 100000 barrels per day
more than is being pumped since
some of the oil is not considered
satisfactory for war use.
The country's reserves are be-
lieved to be more than those in
East Texas, approximately 7 bill
lion barrels. Venezula receives
about 40 per cent of all her revenue
from oil.
