Order Is Restored
By Haitian Troops
BY the Associated Press.


PORT-AU-PRINCE, Haiti, Jan,
14.-Haitian troops slowly restored
order in Port-au-Prince yesterday
after a wild night in which some
natives celebrating the custer Of
President Ellie Lescot looted and
burned property.
The disorders continued despite
an $3.50 pm. curfew. Although there
was sporadic shooting on the out
skirts of the city and near the
Citadel Hotel where a number of
Americans were quartered, no addi-
tional casualties were reported. The
death toll, since the uprising against
Lescotis dictatorial regime began a
week ago, was estimated at Is.
The capital was swept by rumors
that "the Marines are coming" after
four American destroyers appeared
in the outer harbor and a squadron
Of American Navy planes few over
the city. The ships disappeared
after cruising about for two hours
An American Embassy source said
the destroyers were only on ma
neuvers.
Radio stations continued to broad.
cast political speeches for and
against the new military junta
which seized the government. Most
OF the speakers, however, favored
the junta, which now has formed
a six-man military cabinet to rule
this French-speaking Caribbean re-
public.
1t was announced that schools
and businesses would reopen today
and Pan American Always said it
would resume it's flights here after

Chinese, Communists
Charge Each Other
With Breaking Truce
By the Associated Press.


CHUNGKING, Jan. IA. The
Chinese Nationalist government and
the Communists each charged the
other today with violations of the
truce in their undeclared civil war,
which was supposed to have ended
at last midnight.
A spokesman for the Central
government national military coun-
Gil asserted that despite the cease
fire" deadline at Sunday midnight
the Communists today increased
rather than ceased their military
operations.
The Yenan Red forces were
charged with burning villages all
along the eastern section of
the Lunghai railway, which cuts
through Northern Kiangsu Prov
ince to the Yellow Sea and with at
tacking Nationalist-held Anyang
on the Peiping-Hankow railroad in
Northan Honan.
Two Causes for Operations.
There were hopes, however, that
the situation was not as serious
as it appeared. Continued opera
tions beyond the Sunday midnight
deadline could be attributed to two
causes: Failure Of troops to receive
cease-fire orders in time and a
desire to derive the maximum pos
sible advantage before the deadline.
Both government and Communist
authorities had given assurances
that all military operations would
cease as agreed in Thursdays truce.
Meanwhile Communists in Chung
king were reported actively inter-
ested in the governments proposal
to enlarge the state council, max
ing it an all-party and nonpartisan
body and investing 1t with supreme
policy making and directive au-
thority.
New Stage Of Peace"
1t was reported that the Com
munists intended that such a pro-
posed reorganized state council
should be divided into three equal
groups, one representing the Kuo-
mintang, another the Communist
party and the third the other par
ties and nonpartisans.
At Yenan, Chinese Communist
Chairman Mao Tse-tung declared
that China has entered upon a
new stage of peace and democracy"
He asserted in his "cease-fire" or
der to Red troops that "the efforts
of the Chinese people following the
Japanese war In building up peace
and democracy already have been
signaled by important achieve
ments" and hoped that "all COM
rades in the party" would Cooper
ate closely in the establishment Of
a new, independent, free and strong
China"

down to 1,550000 men by July /.

been discharged.
Senator Hill of Alabama, the
Democratic whip, expressed assur-
ance meanwhile that Gen. Dwight D.
Eisenhower, chief of staff, will "lay
the facts about rehabilitation OF,
the line" in an informal appearance
before Congress tomorrow at the
Congressional Library.
Senator Hill told a reporter he is
confident that Gen. Eisenhower will
be able to quote exact figures on the
Armys need for men, the number
of volunteers who have enlisted and
the rate at which discharges are
going.
Representative Rankin, Democrat,
OF Mississippi asserted in a state
ment that he will renew his efforts
to accelerate the pace of demobili-
zation.
The war Is over" he declared.
These brave men have a right to
return to civilian life and eniov
