Chang Cites Soviet Planning
In Reconstruction Speech

CHUNGKING, Oct. 10 (R.-Gen-
eralissimo Chang Kai-shek, adj
dressing the Chinese people by radio
last night on the eve of National
Day, pointed to the spirit of the
Russians as the model to be EMU
lated in the reconstruction of their
war-torn republic.
! I'VE must set to work with the
spirit such as was displayed by the
Russians in carrying out their five-
year plans" he said.
He recommended emphasis on In
dustry and agriculture and special
emphasis on communications.
ut is hoped that within a period
of 10 years at least 10000 kilometers
of railroads will be constructed, he
said.

Chinese Communists
Reported Massed in
Arc Near Shanghai
Ry the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
SHANGHAI, Oct. 10.-Communist
forces are massed in great arc close
around Shanghai, Communist
Spokesman said yesterday, but the
Central Government commandant
declared, I'VE have enough men and
arms to put down any uprising in
this area" even though he attributed
certain malicious intentions" to the
Communists.
The Communist spokesman, who
declined use of his name, told Amer
lean correspondents there were 400
900 weH-armed men of the new
Communist 4th Army around
Shanghai under the command of
Gen. Chen vi, and that If current
unification talks in Chungking
should break down, they would put
up resistance for our own protection
and possibly go on the offensive"
Communist strength is suficient
to capture Shanghai, with one-third
of the total strength of the faction
assembled in the vicinity, he said,
but added that such a move prob
ably would not be made for fear of
creating chaos in such an interna-
tionally important city as this.
U. S. Action Cited.
The central government. COM
mandant for Shanghai and Nam
king, Gen. Tang En-po, said the
Communists had the ultimate in
tention" of capturing Shanghai and
would have done so If American
Air Forces had not speedily flown
his forces into the city.
/ Gen. Tang voiced doubts that the
Communists had anything like 400,-
900 men nearby, but conceded they
were strongly placed.
Gen. Tangssaid he was prepared
against any surprise" but had re-
Trained from arresting any Com
munists-" although we know where
to find them"-because the central
governments policy was to be friend
ly towards the Communist faction
The Communists not long ago
were we'll within the Shanghai city
limits.
Their spokesman said that In
view of the conferences at Chung
king, the Communists then with
drew from their menacing posi-
tions" in the interests of unity.
He took a dim view of the Chung
king talks, and expressed the opin-
ion that Generalissimo Chang Kai-
shek of the central government was
extending the sessions in a move
| for a time in which he could de-
ploy his troops more advantageous
| ly in North China.

illegal Sewer Connections
Blamed for Flooded Cellars

District engineers have placed the
blame for sewage flooded cellers in
the vicinity OF Forty-sixth and
Brandywine streets NV. on the fact
that an estimated 648 homes in the
neighborhood have so-called illegal
connections for storm water.
Harold A. Kemp, director of sani-
tary engineering, said the illegal
connections involve storm water
drainage into sanitary sewers. He
said that as a result sanitary sewers
carry rs per cent more water than
their capacity during heavy rains.
A survey OF the area was made

after complaints by more than 4t
home owners. Mr. Kemp said vol
untary corrections Will be made by
about half OF the home owners and
that steps to gain compliance will be
up to the corporation counsel's Of
fice.
To provide temporary relief. the
District has installed two short sani-
tary sewers.
Mr.. Kemp said that a three-nan
survey board, appointed to study the
need for condemning eight homes ir

has recommended repairing rather
than razing Of the structures, which

be operated by the state.
"All other economic enterprises
may be undertaken by private indi-
viduals. Those on a big financial
scale may either be aided by the
government or be jointly operated.
However. economic reconstruction
must be so planned as to safeguard
the peoples freedom Of enter
prise. ."
