Strong Chinese forces have broken
into the former U. S. auxiliary air

advancing from North, East

led a high Chinese spokesman to
predict last week that its capture
was imminent.
The Chinese High Command
also announced that 700 japanese
troops had opened another attack
on Chinese positions, striking
from Dong Dang, inside the Indo-
China border, toward Chennank-
wan and Pingsiang on the vital
Manning road.
The attack was repealed, the
communicate said, but it gave no
indication whether the enemy had
been pushed back to his original
positions.
It was the second time in less
than two weeks that the J\-
anese had attacked in strength
from Indo-China. On July 10, the
Chinese announced that a thrust
had been thwarted. In that at
tempt some 1900 Japanese troops

TOBACCO PRICES
CONTINUE STRONG
BY The Associated Press


Prices continued strong on the
Georgia-Florida tobacco belt to-
oay-the second day of auction

cent a pound increase in the OPA

applies to the buyers season
averages. Biggest increase was
noted in nondescript tobacco,
which brought an average of Sc
cents, up five cents.
Some top grades of tobacco
brought as high as so cents a
pound.
The Department of Agriculture
reported offerings lower in quality
than at the same time last year.
Sales, it said, consisted mainly
of low to good leaf and lug grades.
Much OF the tobacco on the
floors yesterday was not sold and
was carried over until today

bacco and warehousemen believ

be cleared.
No improvement was noted ir
the acute labor situation which
afflicts the belt. Normally, farm

after curing their crop, but this
year, because of late rains, many
of them have had to stay home
to cure the ripening leaves.

SchooIroom Practice
Of Democracy Urged
Al Teachers Session

Teaching Understandings" and
Ipracticing democracy in the class
room is better than giving pupils
hundreds of isolated" historical and
geographical facts that he does not
remember later, DR.. w. Linwood
Chase, Boston University professor,
told teachers in District elementary
colored schools today.
To a conference of about $50
teachers at Miner Teachers College,
DIR. Chase declared: History tells
the story of America, but it does not
develop democracy, although it is an
aid to the learning of democracy.
Children must live democracy"
DR.. Chase suggested, instead of
studying the main cities and histori-
cal background of the Central
States, the student should be left
with a general understanding that
the Central States raise more food
than they need and also manufac-
ture many things. He said he had
tested about 600 teachers on what
facts they remembered about the
Central States and found most of
them failed to make a passing grade.
The ideal social studies class, DR..
Chase said, is combination of his
tory, geography and instruction in
vocabulary. how to find information
and how to live with other people.

Stands, Striking D. {.
Truck Drivers Told

and helpers went into its third day
today, with no indication that a set
tlement is in sight.
A spokesman for the companies
said the offer of arbitration still
stands, adding there has been nc
move on the part of Local 639 of the
AFL Teamsters' Union to accept the
offer. Labor Department conciliators

ments, but they hoped some break in
the situation in Baltimore, where ! =
500 drivers and helpers have been on
strike, will lead to some development
here.
Yesterday A. w. Stream, president

the strike. Joseph C. McGarraghy
attorney for the District Trucking
Association. today put the number
of struck companies at 1872 COM
panies which are members of the
association and one which is not

The II companies made public a
statement which pointed out that
union demands for a wage increase
are made in the face of increases in
1941, 1912, 1943 and 1914, the total
increases exceeding the increase in
living costs.
Our employees have not suffered
and do not face any reduction in
take-home pay" the companies
statement said. They will continue
to enjoy their wartime compensa-
ton"
The largest terminal affected by
the strike is the Pennsylvania Rail-
road. E. E. Reynolds, chief clerk
said the road is receiving and de-
livering freight and it is not piling
up at the terminal. Patrons are
using their own trucks. he said, and

5 PET. Cut for 1900
On Public Assistance
Rolls Set for Dec. |

Public lsistance grants for some
$500 persons will be cut 5 per cent
December l in an effort by the
Board of Public Welfare to stay
within its relief appropriation.
In statement announcing the
reduction. the board said yesterday
rises in individual grants since the
beginning of the fiscal year July /
have outstripped the first quarter
budget allowance by some $1,000,
adding that October expenditures
alone, at present payment rates, are
likely to be $4,000 over the appro-
priatien allowance.
Welfare officials have been di-
rected to prepare deficiency appro-
priation requests on the basis of
current need as reflected in current
grants. Succeeding months at cur
rent rates would put the board So
600 month in the hole, it was said.
Previous Cut Restored.
insufficient funds in last years
appropriation forced a 10 per cent
cut in the relief grants which was
in effect from January to June
With the beginning of the new
fiscal year on July /, the 10 per
cent was restored. Ceilings were re-
moved from relief grants in 1943
and since then the payments have
been approaching need so far as
possible.
Rising cost of living, it was indi-
Gated, has gradually boosted the
grants, together with reduced earn
ings in some instances among the
recipients.
The per cent cut, according to
the board, is expected to continue
through next June and the amount
of the cut may even have to be
Increased later If no deficiency
money is granted.
Old Age Group Largest.
Relief categories affected are old
age assistance, aid to dependent
children, aid to the blind and gen.
eral public assistance. OF the total,
the largest group is old age assist
snce which accounts for about 2,4O0
of the total number on relief Cen
eral public assistance includes 657
individuals and 73 families.
Board members pointed out that
the estimates on which the present
appropriation is based were pre-
pared in April, based on the needs
for last February.
1T is because the average size of
the grant has continued to increase"
the board said, that action is now
required, for a continued decrease
in numbers can no longer be
expected"
In his annual report for the board,
Welfare Director Ray Huff pointed
out that relief clients of all cate
gories had dropped steadily since
