Siino Reds
 MobiIized

Nanking, Aug. China s 13O O000,000 Communists were under open war mobilization" orders to- day to crush Generalissimo Chiang Kai-shek's Nationalist armies in what amounted to the first declara- tion of war in an 18-year history of civil strife.
 Communist-held areas through out China were alerted yesterday by the Kalgan radio. Villages from Manchuria to North Kiangsu were ordered to guard against possible Nationalist air raids. --
 Chinese sources in Shanghai said Gen. George c. Marshall, special American peace envoy. and U. s. Ambassador John Leighton Stuart were returning to Nanking for fi- nal effort to avert the spread of hoStilities. Marshall conferred with Chiang at Ruling over the week end, and Stuart talked with off, cials at executive headquarters in Peiping. Neither reported progress.
 Communist sources estimated their armed strength at l0,000000, or about the size of Americas war time forces. Red troops were or dered by the Kalgan broadcast to ''shatter Chiang Kai-shek's offen- sive." Spokesmen said the call to arms was the first step in nation wide civil war which Chiang re vealed in his VI Day speech.
 (At that time Chiang said re-
 bellion would be put down."
 and that "a state within a
 state" could not exist.

With President Truman at Sea Aug. 20.-(UP)-President Truman today scrapped his tentative vaca- tlon itinerary and fled the brisk New England weather for "a jour- hey into nowhere" farther South in the Atlantic.
 Shortly after leaving Quonset Point, R. l., at 7:15 A. M (EDT) on what was expected to be a cruise into the Cape Cod area it was dis closed that MT. Truman had decid- ed against staying along the New England coast. Instead, he ordered the presidential yacht Williams burg to take a southerly course, with no specific destination yet.
 'At the moment it's a sort of journey into nowhere" White House Press Secretary Charles G. Ross radio-telephoned reporters aboard this escorting Navy attack trans port Weiss. Its just vacation and he CMr. Truman) can frolic around in the Atlantic ocean if he wants to-"

100 Employees Strike Against Risdon Company
Bengal Mob Burns 15O Indians AHue

Calcutta, Aug. 20 -(UP)- Re- ports of mob slaughter in the Ben- gal village of Bhowanipur, where 150 screaming men, women and children were burned alive, reached Calcutta today as at least 5000 dead were counted in four days of rioting between Hindus and Mos lens.
 (An Exchange Telegraph dis
 patch from Calucutta estimated
 4,000 dead and 24,0O0 injured)
 Hunger and fear of police and military action appeared to have halted the fighting for the present.
 Throw 15O in Fire
 The BhoWanipur reports did not make clear who was responsible for the massacre there, but it was de- scribed as a Bengal "Lidice" Mobs armed with swords and guns re- portedly picked up l5o persons who were trying to escape a monstrous bonflre-and threw them back into the flames.
 Sacred cows were slaughtered during the height of the rioting in some areas. Later they were dragged through Hindu temples to indicate Moslem contempt for Hindu religious rites.
 Government authorities now were faced With the problem of repair ing damaged buildings and clearing the streets of bodies to prevent dis ease. Some of the dead could be seen in the burned-out "bustees, !" or tenaments, but many others were sprawled in the streets.
 Food Stocks Lower
 Civil officials were endeavoring to get garbage collectors and street cleaners back on the job, along with other public service employees who quit Friday. Food stocks through out Calcutta were very low as the result of widespread footing
 The riots began four days ago during Moslem League demonstra- tion on Direct Action Day"
 Moslems were asked to show their disapproval of current political moves expected to lead toward In- dia's independence. The British owned Calcutta Statesman said edi- torially today that the Moslem League ministry had planned the riots in advance.

Brit0ns are Poised For Jewish Attacks

Jerusalem, Aug. 20-(UP) )-Addi- tional barbed wire barricades, arm ored car patrols and reinforce guards today strengthened the Brit ish fortress area in Jerusalem against expected Jewish under ground attacks.
 A tense war of nerves was in progress. Repeated anonymous tele- 1 phone warnings of impending ex- plosions and fears that British of- f1cers would be Kidnapped had of fcialdom on edge. ..:.....
 All 5O,0O0 men of the British gar- rison took nightly turns as sentrieS to prevent underground seizure ot Britons as hostages for the depor- tation of Jewish refugees to Cyprus and the death sentences imposed on Is Jewish youths.
 Officers who had been living in family billets throughout Jerusalem have moved into barracks or the officers club within the fortified area. The officers club, under con- Stant guard, was surrounded by barbed wire like miniature fort.
 Unconfirmed reports said another Jewish refugee ship was sighted ap- i preaching Haifa. It was said to be hesitant about entering Palestine territorial waters, where it would be intercepted by the British navy Two destroyers and several police launches left Haifa harbor last night, possibly to meet the vessel
 The report, circulated without confirmation, that the Jewish un- derground had planned nation wide uprising yesterday morning apparently was part of the nerve war. Nothing happened. The re- sistance forces still were holding their fire.
 Several officials said they were tired of doing nothing while wait ing to be blown up. Top officials said they favored quick partition of Palestine into Jewish and Arab 1 states.

Senate. party leaders were reported prepared to offer the gubernatorial nomination to former Lt.-Gov. James L. Me Conaughy.

 T hope the atomic bomb can be abolished as means of waging war he told reporters after he ar rived at National Airport aboard a Navy transport plane which flew him from Oakland, Cal.
 Blandy said some international agency should be set up to control atomic power, but declined to say whether he thought the United Ma tions could do the job.
 Too Many Out Of Line
 Too many people are stepping out Of line on the atomic bomb question and I don't want to be one of them he said in response to a question about the LIN as a control agency.

McConoughy Enters Race forGovernoF
 Formal Statement
 Of COP Candidacy
 Made in New York

4 Republican intra-party conven-
 ion floor fight seemed certain to- day as former COP. Lt.-GoV. James L. McConaughy made formal an- nouncement of his candidacy for the nomination for governor Earlier to- day Rep. Joseph E. Talbot (R.-5th District announced that he would go down the line" for the guber- material nomination and had mo intention to again run for Congress" :"
 In a telephone statement to the United Press from New York, wheIS ne is president of the United China Relief, McConaughy said:
 If the Republican Party nomin- ates me for governor will accept and do all in my power to bring vic-
 ory to the ticket in November"
 Delegates Favor Talbot
 Both Talbot and McConaughy lave been conceded, by political ob- servers, as maintaining equal pace in the quest for the COP. nomina- ton. Talbot is said to have the sup port of many of the delegates to the convention while McConaughy is said to be the choice of party lead eds such as Harold B. Mitchell, state chairman. States Atty. Hugh M AL corn Jr., and Attorney General Will liam L. Hadden are said to be sec ondary candidates.
 It was believed today that the for mer lieutenant-goVernorS formal announcement will mean a hotly contested convention fight between his and Talbot's supporters. The situation is also believed to be placed squarely in the lap of Gov. Ray mond E. Baldwin, now the party's U. s. senatorial nominee, whose nod of approval to either man will probably mean the nomination. Baldwin is believed to be in the tactical position of having to ap- prove Talbot because of various party members, who, favoring Tal- bot, also favored the governor re- considering his proposed withdrawal from politics and accepting the sen- atorial nomination.

The special meetings were called because of the inability of the board during it's regular term, to hear the 4700 appeals filed as re- suit of the revaluation of all prop erty in Waterbury undertaken last year. This revaluation resulted in an increase of approximately $20,- 100000 in the grand lists.
 Whether or not dismissed appeals will be appealed further to the Common Pleas court by the indivi- dual taxpayers could not be deter mined today. The latter have 60 days after notification of their dis missal to appeal to the courts.
 It is possible that the Waterbury Council of Community clubs may endorse such appeals by means of test suit. The Council went on record this year as bitterly opposed to the revaluation and attempted to introduce its own validating act

 Waterbury's Democratic Party might be lacking a head quarters for tomorrow's 18th senatorial primary contest if it hadn't been for the alertness and goodwill of the Republican members of the Board of Edu- cation.
