Chinese Spectators
Reap Fortunes on
Gold Loaned by U. 5.
BY JAMES ID. WHITE,
Associated Press stan Write.

Details of a multimillion- dol
lar Chungking gold scandal" /"
involving metal loaned by this
country, are coming to light here
despite tight Chinese censor
ship.
The scandal stemmed from pre-
mature leak of a Chinese govern
ment decision in March to raise the
official price of gold, thus permit
ting Chungking spectators to make
fantastic profits in few hours.
DR.. T. v. Soong, Chinese Foreign
Minister, took note of the incident
late yesterday by authorizing the
statement to reporter that drastic
punishment. awaits those involved.
DIR. Soong refused further COM
ment, explaining he has not yet
learned the results of an investiga-
ton he ordered just before leaving
Chungking last month for Washing
ton and the San Francisco Confer
ence.
Price Raised on March 20.
But from his Office here it was
learned that:
On March % the ofiicial price Of
gold in China was raised 10000
Chinese dollars an ounce to $4,000
dollars. (The American price is $35
an ounce)
Because information of the i'm
pending increase leaked, spectators
and insiders" made a financial
killing by acquiring gold at the old
price. The buying wave was said
to have at least doubled q normal
days transactions in the metal.
Some of the gold involved had
been flown to China as part Of a
$500 900 900 loan to help stabilize
China's inflated currency. The Chi
nese government regularly sold this
gold to retire some of the surplus
currency notes initiating the money
market.
Black Market Responds.
However, black market gold also
responded with a rise in price, and
fortunes were made and lost in q
few hours.
DR.. Soong urged Generalissimo
Chang Kai-shek to order an in
vestigation, and 1t was a preliminary
report of an inquiry by the Chinese
Ministry of Finance that broke the
story in China. 1t has been widely
publicized there, but censorship on
outgoing news kept the details from
this country for weeks.
One Chinese paper, the liberal
Hsin Min Wan Pao, charged that
"a few senior officers of one govern
ment organization made $4,000, 900
Chinese dollars on 5000 ounces of
gold in the twinkling of an eye"
Communist Paper Seeks Details.
The Communist paper, Hsin Hua
Jih Pao. demanded to know who
learned OF the price rise, and what
their punishment would be.
ITO wind up the case ambiguous
ly." said the paper, will not only
give rise to protest from the Chi
nese common people but also from
the Allied friends whose sweat and
blood have made possible the trans
portation of gold into China by
flying 1t in over the hump"
The Ia Kung Pao. normally a
strong supporter Of the Chungking
government, took similar line. It
contended that various banks and
government bureaus extended their
ONCE hours on March 20 to facili-
tate the sale Of gold deposit notes,
adding:
This loan of1oid has been given
by our friendly Ally. with much
good will, for the purpose of def1at-
ing our currency and establishing our
commodity prices. But once it has
arrived in Chungking it is sold by
official quotation, and the black
market and speculation immedi-
ately follows"

Equalization of salaries means
equalization of schools and teach
ers, Attorney Thurgood Marshall
is said to have told the teachers
of the colored schools of this city
Friday evening in a get-togeth-
er at the YMCA-USO building.
Teachers must either 60 out
side Of the state to get degrees
in accedited colleges or must go
outside of the state to get unac-
credited degrees validated by ac-
credited colleges if they wish to
participate in recent salary raises,
he is reported as saying. Ac-
cording to Mr.. Marshall, many
OF the teachers have degrees or
credits from institutions which do
not have a rating from the reg
ional associations lin this state
the North CentraD, and have
neglected to attend institutions
which can place them in a posi-
ton to benefit fro mthe raise.
To remedy this situation as
far as practicable, the State
some time ago, made available
funds to pay the tuition of those
who need training not available
in this state. Neither Dunbar
Junior College, nor Pine Bluff
"A. M. and ~ College, nor Short
er-Flipper-Curry College IRE
Gently much in the news), nor
Philander Smith College, nor Ar
kansas Baptist College credits
command the recognition of the
local Board of Education, if cur
rent reports are true.
Payment of tuition in out-of-
state institutions is not enough
to give necessary help to Negro
students. Board and room are
more expensive in Eastern, Wes-
tern, and Northern institutions
where Arkansas teachers are
thus compelled to study than they
are here. Railway expense is no
small item. There are other ex-
pensive adjustments which some
times have to be made before a

Sergeant Joe
Louis Awarded
Legion Of Merit

The award of the Legion Of
Merit to Technical Sergeant Joe
Louis Barrow, Detroit, Michigan,
has been announced by the War
Department. Major General
Clarence H. Kells, Commanding
General of the New York Port

Torrance of outstanding services

teacher can 60 out of the state
to study.
The state not only penalties
the local teacher and the local
educational institution, but it also
penalties itself. 1t sends money
out of the state at time when
we ought to study ways of keep
ing money in the state, and it
toughens its own job of integral
ing Negro citizens thoroughly into
the Southern order. 1t is much
easier to saturate the Negro with
Southern traditions in standard
Southern schools than it is to do
SO in schools outside of the state.
Moreover, over period of years,
the money poured into the Golfers
of Northern educational institu-
tions might be sufficient to
standardize an Arkansas institu-
ton.
Between the various churches
and the city and state govern
ments, there should be at least
one educational institution to
give the Negro any sort of train
ing necessary for at least the
successful performance of the
vocational tasks for which he
has opportunity here.

Reassignmeni Of
Combat Troops To
Service Units 0p-


New York, N. Y. The new
Secretary Of War, Robert p. Pat
terson, was today asked by the
NAACP to halt the detachment
of Negro combat troops in the
European Theatre from the units
with which they fought as volun-
teers, ofttimes having given up
higher ratings to serve in COM
bat, and reassignments to service
units. The NAACP pointed out
to the War Department official
that this policy, apparently de-
liberate, humiliates these soldiers
and estops them from the public
recognition of their contribution
to winning the war on their re-
turn home.
The NAACP expressed conf
dence that Judge Patterson, who
has always been especially fair
minded in his attitude toward.
Negro soldiers, will remedy thu
situation.
