CHINESE C0MMIES
+ WANT SELF RULE
Want Government Similar
To State Rule In
United States
BY SPENCER MoOsA

CHUNGKING, March 2O-(P)-A
Chinese Communist spokesman as
serted Wednesday his party wants
only, self-rule for Manchuria S
provinces similar to that enjoyed
by states in the United States, and
denied there was any political link
with Russia.
The spokesman, Chen -Kang,
said the Communists did not want
separation from central authority
contrary to reports that independ-
ent Communist regimes were being
set up in parts of Manchuria
Rather they wanted only self-gov-
eminent, which would be even less
than that of the states in America,
he declared.
Want Agreement
1--WE don't want Nationalist
forces to displace Communist
forces in Manchuria, Chen said,
until an agreement is reached on
the administration of that terri
tory
No Russian Connection
Chen asserted that charges of
connection between the Chinese
Communists and Russia were I'M
true, and added: ''We hope Soviet
forces in Manchuria will withdraw
as soon as possible"
Chen declared the whole ex-
plosive issue could be settled if the
government would give the 60
ahead to a plan approved by Gen
eral Marshall to send truce teams
into Manchuria to halt the latest
outbreak Of fighting.
Marshall Reports
Marshall, special presidential
envoy to China now in Washington
to report, said Saturday that meas
ures were being taken to dispatch
such teams to Manchuria, where
he styled the situation as "criti-
CAL"
The spokesman charged, how
ever that the government wanted
the Communists to agree first to
Chungking's fright to move Ma
tionalist troops to any point in
Manchuria it wished"

lsed the Mayor to accept q quit
claim deed TO the property. Its value
was placed &C Sl0,Oel.4e. Tax liens
on the property date back to 1891.
Considerable criticism Of the city's
tax collection methods was express
ed By Republican aldermen.
The board received an opinion
from John A. Membrlno, assistant
corporation counsel, who wrote that
q voluntary conveyance would save
the city tie costs usually incurred
In a foreclosure action. The Citizens
and Manufacturer National Bank
made the offer to convey the prop
erty as trustee for the estate.
Alderman James NJ. Lynch CD
told the board that It was possible
that the property had been over
assessed for years.
A bid for land ct 227 and 228

man Benson brought out that no
information was available on the
assessments Of the property, which
he said should be the governing
factor In the sale.
The aldermen agreed that no bids
for land will be accepted unless the
assessments are listed.

mayor to accept from Albert E.
Lariviere q quit-claim deed convey
ing to the city lot at Evans and
Montgomery streets In lieu Of back

to the Boston and New York area.
In addition. some elements in

Troubles Multiply
For Farm Family

GREELEY, COLO.-Trouble runs
in punches for members of the Louis
Andolsek family.
1t all started when son, Ed An
dolsek, ran a haystacker into a
7,O00-volt power line on their farm
near here. He was pinned to the
power line by the charge. The ia
Their ran to his aid and also was
burned severely. Another brother,
John, went to their rescue and he,
too, was burned. Finally, a brother
in-law, John Adams, dragged the
men to safety.
An hour after Ed Andolsek was
taken to the hospital, Mrs. John An
dolsek was stricken with an attack
of acute appendicitis and rushed to
the same hospital for an emer-
gency operation.
All the Andolseks are reported re-
covering.
