Marshall Is Believed
Preparing One Final
Move for China Peace
Joins American Envoy in
Statement Thut Accord
Appears Impossible
BY The kssocioted Press

NANKING, Aug. 10.-A general
peace for China appears impos-
sible, even though all the Chi
nese desire it, Americas two top
ENJOYS to this divided nation an
nounced today in a gloomy and
unprecedented statement.
Gen. George C. Marshall, Presi-
dent Truman's special emissary, and
DR.. John Leighton Stuart, new
American Ambassador, issued their
statement to correspondents against
a background of spreading warfare
between Chinese Communists and
government troops and at a moment
when United States Marines were
battling train wreckers in North
China.
Despite this open pessimism, some
observers here expressed belief that
Gen. Marshall would try one last
fling at peace by appealing for a
coalition government before aban-
doning his patient eight-month
effort.
No Hint of Next Move.
1t was generally believed, how
ever, that Gen. Marshall already wa,
convinced there was no path to
peace through continued negotia-
tions on the present levels-ever
though he has been negotiating all
along with Generalissimo Chang
Kai-shek, head of the government
and with Gen. Chou En-lai, Com
munist plenipotentiary.
Speculation about an appeal
for coalition government, there
fore, could only mean the pos
sibility of going over the heads
of the present Chinese leaders,
although dispatches from Man.
king avoided openly expressing
this conclusion.J
The Marshall-Stuart statement
gave no hint what the next move
might be.
Gen. Marshall and DR.. Stuart,
it said. have been exploring TO-
gether every possibility of terminal t
ing tne present growing conf1ic
In China and for initiation of pre-
liminary steps in development of ;

The desire for peaceful solution
to political problems appears prac

Advisers Reported
Seeking Bigger and
Freer Jewish Zone
BY the Associoted Prsss

President Truman'S advisers
on Palestine yesterday were re-
ported considering acceptance of
a h-backed plan for parti-
ton of the Holy Land provided
the zone assigned to the Jews
could be enlarged and given
greater AUTONOMY.
The final plan, in the opinion of
these experts, should provide, not
only for the immediate entry of
100000 Jews, but also for a long
1ange flow of Jewish immigrants.
Whether this plan for accepting
the partition program actually will
get Mr.. Truman's approval was an
open question, since there appears
still to be considerable opposition
to any partitioning among those
who have some influence with top
administration leaders.
Acting Secretary of State Dean
Acheson is in charge of preparing
final recommendation for Mr.. Tru-
mans consideration. There are
SiSilS lI1dt MI. hCneSOH ana MS
State Department advisers favor
the partition principle as the most
practical way of going about get
ting 100000 Jews into Palestine as
soon as possible.
Thus the behind -the-scenes in
dications are now running almost
the reverse of what they were two
weeks ago when the partition plan
was first put forward by the joint
Anglo-American Committee in Lon
don
A State Department spokesman
said, meanwhile. that there has
been absolutely no decision" yet
on American policy on the Palestine
partition plan.

A spokesman at UNRRA head

From the Czechoslovak point of

LONDON, Aug. 10. - Britain
anxiously awaiting President
Truman's verdict on the plan for
a federated Palestine, served
notice unofficially today that her
Warships would intercept, search
and arrest any vessels of another
nation carrying illegal Jewish
immigrants to the Holy Land.
An official cabinet statement on
policy for Palestine was expected
shortly in which the British would
outline plans for a strict crack
down throughout Europe against
illegal immigrants now trekking by
tens of thousands across the war
torn continent toward Palestine.
In Cyprus the British rapidly
were erecting accommodations in
the Caraola detention camp near
Famagusta. apparently for Jews
taken from vessels diverted from
Palestine, amid reports that the
first immigrants would arrive Mon
day.
A Foreign Office official at a news
conference disclosed that the cab
met statement on Palestine policy
would deal with the British inten-
tion to search suspected ships fly
ing foreign colors. He refused to
say whether Britain already had
conveyed this intention to any in

also.

Truman Asked 10 Back
Tax Cut on Low Incomes
BY the Associated Press

Senator Taylor, Democrat. of
Idaho, urged President Truman yes
terday to back a program of indi-
vidual tax relief for the lower in
come groups.
The Senator made public letter
to the President calling attention
to his bill to authorize the Treasury
to give tax credits to persons whose
income falls below the level neces-
sary for health and a decent stand
ard of living
In effect, he said, it would give
individuals advantages of the same
carry-back tax provisions enjoyed
by corporations.
Removal of taxes from the lower
brackets is not inflationary," SEN
ator Taylor declared. The money
thus saved the taxpayers will not
be used to bid the price of luxuries
to higher levels, but merely to pur-
chase the bare necessities of life"
