.Monarchist Party
In Election Count
/ Trails In Italy
UBy Associated Press,

ROME, June At appears
that monarchy is doomed in Italy
as the count of ballots, cast in
Sundays election, continues.
Early this afternoon the forces
that favor the establishment of
a democracy in Italy had total
slightly in excess of 100000,
while the advocates of continu-
ing the monarchy had only 848,-
900 votes.
1t turned out that the vote in
a small precinct in the outskirts
of Milan, which was the first to
announce the results yesterday,
did not mirror the attitude of
the country. That precinct show
ed a large majority for the mon
archist party, but thereafter al
most every other precinct report
ing gave a majority for the
party that favors a Democratic
form of government.
The laSt-minute appeal of King
Un1berto. serving temporarily,
since his fathers abdication. to
continue the monarchy in Italy,
apparently had little effect in
gaining votes for the monarch
lists.

Bavarian School
Opened To Train
For Free Press

Observation-Disclosures editors,
~ faced with a grave problem
i'll finding stats to fill the col
umns of their newspapers, have
opened their own school of journ-
alism in Munich.
Most German journalists be-
came party members OF, resigned
themselves to serving the Nazi
propaganda machine when the
; Third Reich killed all freedom of
the press. Now they find them
selves barred from licensed news
papers in the American zone. A
minority, which refused to serve
the Nazi press, sought other work;
some went underground; some
suffered or died in concentration
camps.
Today survivors among these
men are working again in their
old jobs. But many of them are
old and many are in bad health
after the privationS they suffered.
There are no young trained men
and women to take their place.
Even publishers and editors
themselves are in many instances
new to their jobs.
White-haired DR.. Edmund Gold
schagg, publisher of the biggest
Bavarian newspaper, the Sud
, Deutsche Zeitung of Munich, de-
, scribed the problem to his fellow
publishers. The new school of
journalism, he said, would train
80 to 80 students in a course
which would last from three to
four months. The students would
be selected from over 500 appli-
cants and would be screened by
the Germans themselves. DR.. Of
to Groth, of Frankfurt, would be
principal of the school and lee
lures would be given by newspa-
permen, university professors and
economic experts.
+ Results of preliminary ques-
tioning among the students show
ed some astonishing results of IL
years of Nazi education. DR.. Gold
Schagg said. Not one of those ex-
amined was able to give a suit
able answer to the question:
What is politics."
Most had never heard of the
parties in the Weimar republic.
None knew that Schiller had been
professor of history at Jena.

-Four Applications
For Police Chief
Have Been Filed

City commissioners will hold a
meeting tonight, but a commits
sioner informed The Citizen to-
day it was doubtful whether the
charges, preferred in six affidav-
its, against Police Chief Louis
Eisner and Police Lieutenant Ray
Atwell, will come up for consid-
Grafton.
He explained that City Mana
ger King has full authority, I'M
der the charter, to decide wheth-
er to retain Eisner and Atwen or
to remove them from office.
The commissioner added that
his reason for believing the mat
ter will not be considered to-
night is because he thought Man.
ager King will not have COM
pleted his investigation by then.
The same informant told The
Citizen that four applications for
Eisner's job already have been
received, and that probably two
or three more will be filed be-
fore final action on the charges
are taken.
The four applicants are Everett
RivaS and Alberto Camera, for
mer captains of night police;
Thomas (Buster) Russell, for
mer policeman, and Benvenido
Perez, at present a member of
the police force.

Gen. Marshall
Holds Credit
In Whip Hand
AP Newsfeotures

WASHINGTON, D. c. - Gen.
George c. Marshall, President
Truman's special envoy to the
Chang Kai-shek government is
seeking peace in China - trying
to heal the generation-old cleaV-
age between the Nationalist
and the Chinese Reds and save
the country from a resumption of
civil war.
The difficulties facing the one
time chief of staff of the Ameri-
can armies in this great task are
mounting. Even in the face OF
the worst need for peace and
unity that they possibly have
ever seen, the opposing Chinese
factions are thus far unable to
compose their differences.
During the few months Mar
shall has been in China. he
has kept wholesale civil war
from south of the great wall
and brought Nationalist and
Red chieftains together TO ne
gotiate.
In a few brief weeks away
from China, after he seemingly
had Reds and Nationalist on the
way to amalgamation, Marshall
saw the work he started fall
apart. Agreements hastily pu,
together were disregarded, and
civil war came on a major scale
in Manchuria and in the Yangtze
valley.
Gen. Marshall is credited
with having in his hands the
strings that control the tinan-
cial credits China hopes to get
from the United States. These
appear to be his most power
full tools for peace.
Once these credits have been
allowed to pass to Chinese con-
troll, a lessening of Chinese re-
spect for Marshalrs efforts in
their behalf need not be held
surprising.
The cleavage between Chinese
Nationalist and Chinese Red is
wide, deep and of long standing.
Whether Marshall can change
the course of this tide of human
strife can be answered only by
events.

Ancient Momentum In
China Toward Civil War
Gathering Force Again
BY JAMES D. WHITE
APP NewsfeutureS

4 IL 4eCW 0ACNlldA Cd
There is an ancient momentum
In China toward civil war which
is gathering force again after an
eight-year showdown for a de-
fensive war against Japan.
In the ten months since Japan
was disposed of, nothing big
enough has happened-either in
side or outside of Climate halt
that momentum. 1t rumbleS on,
oiled with suspicion and fear, to-
ward open and hopeless iratrici-
dial fighting which could involve
one-fifth of humanity if it
could be restricted to that.
For 1000 years there has been
a rhythmic pattern of revolt in
China as the peasants a out of
S Chinese are farmerS) rose in
susport of movements which
gave them a chance to wreSt
from the minority the means of
making a better living.
The Current Cycle
The turning point in the cur
rent cycle came in 1929, when
Chang Kai-shek and his Kuo-
mingtang outlawed the Commu-
nists who had helped them over
throw the old, corrupt Republic.
Chang chased the Communists
to the far northwest where in
well guarded isolation they regi-
mented around 100 million peas
ants, itching to get land away
from landlords.
In the meantime the Kuomin-
tang, still controlling the central
Chinese government, drew it's
support increasingly from bank
erS, landlords and merchants.
II, readily recognized that some
thing had to be done to help the
peasants, but it could proceed
with economic reform no faster
than its principal support would
let it.
During the war against Japan,
the hostile Communist and Kuo-
mintang regimes cOoperated to
an extent, but it was at best a
truce.
Race for Manchuria
When Japan went down, both
sides jumped to fill the power
vacuum created in North China
and Manchuria AS the Commu-
nistS were already close by they
beat the Kuomintang to the
draw in most cases.
Leaders on both sides saw the
danger of civil war and met to
talk about a peaceful settlement
which would go far beyond the
immediate threat and be based
on Il broad democratic coalition.
In this they had the earnest as
sistance of the United States i'll
the person of Gen. Marshall, the
presidents special envoy.
But both camps contain men
who arc cynical, headstrong, or
both. While strong arm Com
munist generals were jumping
the gun in the field, die-hard
Kuomintang elements tried to
undrecut the coalition proposals.
Neither side trusted the other,
from bitter experience.
The Kuomingtang government
looks for help from the United
States. At the same time, the
Communists in areas close to
Soviet Russia, cannot be expected
to refrain from looking hope

got some help, but nothing like

Schuman's inexhaustible resource

The martial character Of the "Al-

what q resemblance to Schuman's

material for his quartet.
Although Caucasia and Its folk
tunes have nothing in common with
the Russian type of life and its
music, the songs used by Prokofiev
in his quartet are given decidedly
Russian character, possibly because
of the composers individual style,
strongly colored by his nationality.
A warlike element Of the first
movement is followed by . truly
beautiful "Adagio," its fiowery pat
tern, carried by the first violin to
the pizzicato accompaniment BY

Despite all this sound and fury,
