visement until tomorrow sentences
for traffic violations by a truck

hded with the truck.

be a terrible lesson, one that will
remain with you the rest OF your

Lemelman, whose mother, Mrs

the collision at Fourth and Ogle-

guilty of failure to give full time
and attention to his driving. while
Banks was convicted of failure to

avoid a collision.
The death was ruled accidental

virtually every section of the globe
to American newspapers continued
70 be hampered today as the United
States Cancellation Service resumed
negotiations to end a strike of the
American Communications Associa-
ton, Go, against Press Wireless
Inc.
Press associations and newspapers
continued, with partial success, to
bring in news from their foreign
bureaus by means of auxiliary chan
nels. The union has ordered that
AGA members must not handle
overseas press copy for other COM
munications companies.
Although ACA's dispute Is directly
against Press Wireless, against
which 1t called strike last Wednes-
day, the union said its tactics are
to bring pressure against "the lead
ing newspapers who own Press
Wireless" The strike was begun by
employees Of Press Wireless in pro-
test against the layoff of 46 men
and scheduled down-grading of
other workers. Press Wireless said
that such program was necessary
because OF reduced postwar bust
ness.
Press Wireless. however, said 1t
was continuing to handle some
overseas copy with supervisors and
executives filling in for strikers.

Leighton Stuart that peace seemed
impossible.
The statement, issued on the first
anniversary of the surrender of
Japan, broke Gen. Chiangis silence
at the height of China's new crisis
brought on BY months of stubborn
civil strife.
1t came four days after DR.. Stuart
and Gen. Marshall made their state
ment.
Gen. Marshall has been working
since last December to bring the
Communists and the government
together.
After reviewing the events of the
past year Gen. Chang continued:
MY fellow countrymen, looking
over the past year. If we had not
Suffered domestic strife, II po-
litical party with armed forces had
not insisted on expanding its terri
tory, our country would be in a
high and respected place and our
people at peace and prosperous"
Gen. Chang sketched what he
described as Communist violations
OF agreements and said he hoped
the Communist party, rejecting
on these facts, will come to this
realization:
To-day our one important de-
mand Is that the Communist party
change its policy OF seizing power
by military force and transform in
to peaceful party. We want them
to help us with peace in China"
Must Review Mistakes"
The generalissimo said there must
be a deep understanding of the
issues confronting the country. We
must put down rebellions and make
China a peaceful, democratic, uni
fed, strong country. But govern
ment oficials also must review their
own mistakes and shortcom-
ings ="
In finishing, Gen. Chang said.
Il dedicate myself to the cause
OF the revolution Of our country
and people.
Il will not let the fruits of VIC
tory be lost in a day.
Il will not change my determine
ton to establish a peaceful, unified
democratic country.

The statement, officials pointed
out, seemed mel ely to reflect the
attitude that the Chinese NATIONAL

the past three or four years.
The major difficulty in achieving

Gen. Chiang's insistence that he

munists say they VII lay down their
arms only after political questions
