United States Grateful For Peacetime Xmas
By Associated PreSs)

Coast to Coast rejoiced Tuesday and was grateful for the first peacetime Christmas in five years. GIS stranded on the east and west coast ports on shipboard in stag ing areas, cheerfully accepted their fate, knowing they would be home for good soon. Civilians sep arated from loved ones overseas opened their homes and hearts to stranded soldiers and sailors, or found joy in the knowledge that they own sons and daughters were not in danger.
 President Truman flew to Inde- pendence, Mo, to spend the holi- day with his mother and sounded the keynote of the nation when he declared: "ThiS is the Christ mas that the war weary world prayed for through the long awful years" Minor disappointments couldn't overshadow that thought as millions expressed the Presi- dents thought in churches across the country.
 President Truman gave freedom to more than two thousand federal prisoners who have served faith fully in the armed forces during the war. In Charlotte, N. C., five hundred sixteen nurses and wo- men employees of the hospital were gladdened to find nylons un- der the tree, gift from a doctor, whose name was mercifully with held.

Communists Ask Time Limit For
 U. s. Withdrawal

CHUNGKING, Dec. 26- R- The Communist New China Daily News urged General Marshall to set time limit on the disarma- ment of Jap troops in China and the withdrawal of American forces. The newspaper asserted that any American help in Chung king: military, political, financial or technical, before the coalition government was established would aggravate the "current civil war"
 The statement of the paper, which has been speaking authori- tatively for the Communist side, came at time when General Marshall was plunging into his mission of peace for troubled China.
 After conferring with Chiang Kai-Shek, Premier Soong and three Communist leaders of the peace delegation assigned here, General Marshall admitted "it will be some time before I can hope to picture China peaceful" The statement of the Presidents spe- cial envoy to China is coupled with the government suspicion of the Communist truce proposal, and strengthened the doubt that the civil war would be halted quickly.
