Complete Chinese Split
Is Feared by Communist

SHANGHAI, Sept. 3 (P.-Gen
Chou En-lai, No. 2 Chinese Com
munist, declared today that sus-
pension of American assistance to
the Chinese government and with
drawal Of American forces from
China would make peace "immedi-
ately attainable"
He warned, however, that China s
turbulent internal situation was
heading toward complete national
split and wholesale enlargement
OF its 19-year-old civil war.
In an interview before departing
for Nanking, he told the Associated
Press that one Of the principal rea-
sons the Kuomintang government
party dares wage this ruthless
civil war" was the support extended
1t by the United States Government.
He said the Soviet government at
no time rendered assistance to the
Chinese Communist party, but had
aided the Kuomintang when 1t was
a revolutionary party, and later In
the early stages of the Sino-Japa-
neSe war.
He said the only country with
which the Chinese Communists
maintained what might be called
diplomatic relations was the United
States-not Russia. The Commu-
lists have dealings with the United
States In peace negotiations and in
the executive (truce) headquarters
at Peiping and its field teams.
OF fears voiced In some quarters
that China's civil conflict would lead
automatically to World War III
Gen. Chou said:
"As a matter of fact, the more
China is engulfed In civN war, the
greater the destruction to the coun-
try will be and the less likely it will
be for other countries to consider
it worthwhile to use our land as q
battlefield"

Test Pilot Sets Record
For Thompson Trophy
As Air Races Close
By the Associosed Press

CLEVELAND, Sept. 3.-Mechan-
les wiped the the CRIME off slick
little craft today as pilots started
homeward after the fastest COM
petitive flying In aviation history at
the postwar renewal OF the National
Air Races.
New records were written into the
books for Alvin TEX Johnston's
1888 miles an hour average in the
300-mile Thompson Trophy race
for conventional planes and Mai
Gus Lundquist's 5158 miles an hour
in the 180-mile event for jet-pro-
PEELED aircraft.
Johnston, 32-year-old Niagara
Falls test pilot, flying his first big
race, used a souped-up Bell P-39
Airacobra which he said might be
good enough next year In a race
limited to reciprocating engines.
Lundquist, Chicagoan, flew a
Lockheed P-80 Shooting Star. He
led three similar Army Jet fighters
IN the six-lap event. One Jet was
forced out by hydraulic trouble and
one was disqualified for cutting in
side a pylon on the rectangular 80
mile course.
The four-day program, marking
the renewal of big-time air racing
after seven years, went off without
a single injury despite the tremen-
dous increase in speeds since 1889
and the entry of many, who like
Johnston were newcomers in ma ajor
racing.
Top racing glory in the Thompson
was spread among three types-the
P-39, the Lockheed P-38 Lightning
and the North American Psi Mus
tang. The P-38 flown to second
place by Tony LEVER of Los Angeles
who demonstrated high speed aero
battles during the first three days OF
the show, was the only two-engine
plane In the race.
The only radial engine plane was
the Navy Corsair flown by Cook
Cleland of Miami, Fla, who finished
sixth.
More than $1,000 persons were or

gether today and tomorrow to dis.
cuss plans for next years meet.
Informal discussion indicated little
likelihood OF any major changes ir
the rules, except that some appeared
eager to reopen the races to foreign
pilots and planes. Only American
fliers and aircraft were permitted tt
fly this year.
The long range view was that Jet.
propelled planes will play a still
larger part in next years show, since
both the Army and Navy are rapidly
moving toward complete transfer.

I'VE were in the bedroom and
were discussing our future relations
while fed and dressed the baby.
Frank insisted that I give him a
divorce and ! said / wouldn't un-
less his future plans included my
self and the baby. He said he didn't

Soviet Tells America
10 Mind Own Business
On Swedish Trade Pact
fTert OF Moscow Radio Statement
on Page A-5.j
by ,hs Asseeio,.d Pres.

MOSCOW, Sept. 3.-Russia has
rejected American expression of
concern relative to bilateral
Soviet-Swedish trade negotia-
tions in note in which the offi-
cial Russian news agency said
the United States was told, in
effect, to mind its own business.
Tass, the Russian news agency.
announced the rejection last night
and quoted the note Of rejection rs
saying the Soviet government land
1t may be assumed the government
of Sweden-are not in need of con-
sultation with the United States
Government on the question of the
advantage or disadvantage they will
reap from trade agreements"
(Sweden, in effect, rejected the
American note - in which the
/ hope was expressed that Russia
would not undertake any obliga-
tions in conflict with principles
expressed in q mutual aid agree
ment concluded between the
United States and Russia in 1912
when her Foreign Once an
nounced last Saturday that b
Swedish delegation would leave
for Moscow tomorrow to resume
negotiations on q proposed Ave
year agreement with Russia.)
Astonished At Note.
Tass, stating that its information
was based on data received from the
Soviet Foreign Ministry, declared in
the Moscow broadcast:
THE government of the U. S. s. r
the note observes, is the more
astonished at the contents of the
American Governments note, con-
sidering that the Government of
the United States itself is in the
habit of concluding long-term BIZ
lateral credit trade agreements with
other countries on supplying them
directly or through the Export
Import Bank with long term credits
for the purchase Of American goods.
In this connection, the United
States Governments Interpretation
of the proposed trade agreement
between the U. S. s. r. and Sweden
could be understood only as an at
tempt at interference on the part
OF the United States in trade ne
gotiations between two independent
states"
The Soviet press and radio gave
wide publicity to the Tass announce
ment and to Swedish newspaper
reaction. Featured was an editorial
in the Stockholm Morgontidningen,
which was quoted as saying the
American note represented direct
interference in Swedish internal
affairs" and could only arouse
Swedish Indignation.

Members of Britain's delegation
to the United Nations said the

did not share this view.
Britain Russia Agree
This vital issue was raised as
Russia and Great Britain agreed
"in principle" last night in U. N.
ing Meadow Park on a vast pro-
and a worldwide troop census
with on-the-spot verfication checks
OF all forces and ornaments.
In a resolution calling for all
members Of the United Nations to
report on their armed forces at
home and abroad by Jan. 1 Bri-
tain submitted an amendment to
establish an inspection commits
Russia insisted that this include
ornaments also to which Britain
agreed.
This Is the text of the new Bril-
tish proposal:
mendS immediate establishment
OF an international supervisory
commission operating within the
framework of the Security Council
but in its operation not subject
to the veto OF any power on the
Security Council which shall be
entitled by the agents of any ma
tons acting in its behalf to verify
and confirm on the spot any or
all information submitted in ac-
cordance with any requirements
OF the General Assembly or the
Security Council as to troops and
arma ments.
when this supervisory commits
sion is established the member
states shall be required to submit
full particulars on ornaments OF
different categories as well as
armed forces"
Wants Showdown
U. S. Senator Tom ConnaIIy ID
Tex said he would like both Bri-
fish amendments to go to the sub
committee on ornaments reduc-
ton. 1t was finally agreed to turn
the matter over to the sub-com-
mittee. Assembly President Paul
Henri Spaak said he hoped the
matter could be cleared UP i'm
mediately and reported back to the
body by Thursday.
Conaily told the Associated Press
the British proposal as it present
iy stands is dangerous" and would
mean IL adopted the United
States would have to disclose the
secrets OF the atomic bomb without
being able to invoke any controls,
Such move he said would
wipe out all the work done by tho
L: n. atomic energy commission
which presently is trying to work
out a system OF controls for atomic
energy which would prevent II. use
to anything other than peaceful
purposes.
The British Representatives arg
ued however that their proposal
would mean disclosure of all weap-
ons. They said the United States
could forestall immediate dis
closure of her atomic secrets bv
using the veto in the Security
Council before the supervisory
commission is established.
