Gen.. Marshall
Shortly to Fly

REPORTS FROM THAT cOUN-

ALISTS AND COMMUNISTS
AGAIN FIGHTING
(By AsS~c.ated Press,

WASHINGTON, April 10. -
General George c. Marshall
shortly will fly back to China
because of unsettled conditions
in that country, it was officially
announced today.
1t was recalled that both the
Chinese Nationals and Comrnun-
lists expressed regrets over Cen
eral Marshall's departure for
Washington, as, under his direc-
ton, civil warfare had been
brought to an end. But, shortly
after he left China, strife was
resumed between the Nationalist
and Communists, and has been
growing in intensity until today's
dispatches from China said that
open warfare is now in progress
in Manchuria between those
forces.
Though the Nationalist govern
ment has continued to reinforce
its troops in Manchuria, the
Communists have been able to
beat back the attacks on them.
Contention between National
lists and Communists is now CEN
tered over the control of Muk-

Hotel Association Will
Interview Ferry Officials
Plan To Send Representa-
tive To Jacksonville To
Go Into Complete Com.
pany Plans

The possibility of sending a
representative to Jacksonville,
home office of the Gulf Atlantic
Transportation Company, who
propose to operate the Key West
Havana ferry, will be discussed
at a luncheon meeting of the
Key West Hotel Association
Tuesday, April Is. This meeting
will be held at the La Concha
Hotel, Hugh c. Hodge, president,
announced today.
In order to dispel current
rumors as to whether or not the
ferry will actually operate from
Key West or Miami and also tC
secure first hand information as
to when operation is to be act
ually begun, the hotel men feel
that local delegate should con-
tact officials of the company di-
rect. If for no other reason than
to extend the Gulf Atlantic
Transportation Company a per.
sonal welcome to Key West, the
trip will not have been i'll spent
1t is obvious of course that a cal
ferry such as is planned for this
city will bring untold numbers
of tourists here and is a project
that should be given more en-
enlargement from this end.
All members of the association
are urged to be present at this
meeting.

Making Effort To
Get Voters on Books
New Ones and Those Stricken
From Lists For Not Voting in
Five Years Are Being Sought

With only one more registration
period prior to the general election on
Tuesday, November 5, both the Re-
publican and Democratic organ
izations were making plans this week
for a concentrated effort at getting
more persons names on the registra-
ton books before the deadline.
Over seventeen hundred names
were stricken from the books and
there are always a number of new
ones to register at the twenty-five
polling places, which makes a sizeable
figure for the two major parties to
work on.
As the result of Tuesdays regis
traton, there were 100 more Demo-
Gratis on the books as compared to
100 Republicans. All voting precincts
had reported to the Board of Election
Supervisors with the exception of
VindeX and Bittinger. In district 10,
Deer Park, one registrant was re-
corded as a progressive.

Permanent Auto
Tags Being Made

New permanent-type license tags
for Maryland motorists will be in
troduced next year and will save the
state about 100000 year. The new
tag is aluminium in color and has a
space below the center of the large
numerals for an insert clip.
Tags will be worn on the front of
the car as we'll as the rear beginning
next March. A special paint has been
designed to make these tags last a
period of seven years before renewal
is necessary. The clip which will carry
the year change does not need a bolt
or any similar fastener, but it is
held in place by the tension of the
metal. w. Lee Elgin, commissioner of
motor vehicles, said he had no con-
Germ about theft since each regis
trant would be checked near time for
renewal, and if he did not renew his
license an investigation would be
made as to the reason.
