NationaIists Strike
Ito Cut Retreat Of
Reds From KaIqan
by the Assoeioted Press

PEIPING, Sept. 26.-Govern-
ment troops struck westward
from Jehol Province today to cut
OF the Communists northward
retreat routes from Kalgan as
three other forces moved closer
in their maneuver to encircle the
city.
The independent newspaper Hsirl
Min Pao said Generalissimo Chang
Kai-shek's forces approached both
Kuyuan, 80 miles north of Kaigan,
and Tolun, 1873 miles north of the
Reds military base
Gen. Flu Tso-yi's troops, ap-
preaching Kalgan from Eastern
Suiyuan Province, captured Hsinho,
so miles northwest Of Kalgan, and
continued eastward, the paper said
This was the first report on Gen.
Fu's troops since the Kalgan opera
ton opened. 1t also carried an un-
confirmed report that the Commu-
nists had moved their Kalgan gov
ernment to Tolun.
Nationalists Use 8 Routes.
Military sources here asserted
government forces would converge
on Kalgan along eight routes and
said that would close all escape
routes.
Travellers arriving from Kalgan
said comparatively few Communist
troops remained In the city.
Meanwhile, the Communists ac-
knowledged they we're having in
ternal troubles in Kalgan-an
abortive uprising. They said Liu
Chen Hsuen, former vice command
er of the government 4th Army,
and several other Nationalist were
captured in Kalgan while attempt
ing to organize former Japanese
puppet troops and bandits" to
strike at the Communists. Liu was
executed Monday, the rebels added.
Without explanation, the govern
ment said Gen. Tu Li-ming, COM
mander in Manchuria, would move
his headquarters next month from
Mukden to Changchun.
Hwailai Seen as Battlefield.
Government troops were reported
toward the expected bat
tlefield at Hwailai, gateway to Kali
gan, after breaking through Nankou
Pass and crossing the Great Wall
northwest of Peiping.
A news blackout persisted on two
other government columns, last re-
ported closing on Kalgan from the
west and south.
Military observers in this city 100
miles southeast of Kalgan said the
key to the mountain-girt stronghold
was Hwailai where the Communists
were believed to have strong forti-
f1cations.
After conferences here among
China's top military commanders,
sources predicted the
pus., on Kalgan would be speeded
up. 1t is the most important Com
munist position in North China next
to Yenan, the capital.

Gunnison Was Educated
At G. w. University

NEW YORK, Sept. 26 (NANA -
Royal Arch Gunnison was known
all over the world as a war cor
respondent for the North American
Newspaper Alliance and Mutual
Broadcasting System and as a writer
for Golfers.
Born in Juneau, Alaska, in 1909,
he was named Royal Arch by his
father, who was high in the coun-
cils of Masonry. Educated at
George Washington University in
Washington and at the University
Of Seattle, he planned to enter
the Foreign Service, but switched
to newspaper work, beginning as
a foreign correspondent for the As
sociated Press in 1884 Later he
worked for Christian Science Moni-
tor, and, in 1910, joined the North
American Newspaper Alliance staff
and was assigned to the Pacific
area.
Mr.. Gunnison caught the last
Clipper from Hong Kong for Manila
in December, 1941, arriving there
just before the Japs attacked the
Philippines. Mr.. Gunnison's broad
cast from atop one of the buildings
at Clark Field was among the most
graphic descriptions of the war. He
was captured by the Japs and in
termed by them in their infamous
Santo Tomas camp.
Repatriated via the Gripsholm in
December, 1943, Mr.. Gunnison, after
a brief rest, returned to action
this time with Gen. Macarthur. He
reported Gen. MacArthur's liberia
ton campaign in the Philippines
until victory was won and stayed
OH in Manila until late in Feb
ruary, 1945, when he returned to
the United States. In June of this
year, Mr.. Gunnison returned to the
Orient by way of Berlin and the
Middle East
He won the 1912 National Head
liners Journalism Award for his re-
porting under combat conditions
and in 1914 received a citation for
having remained in Manila to re-
port the Jap invasion.

ing Division of UNRRA, said the
organization now has about COM
pleted it's program of purchase.
Mr.. Breen said one of the most
interesting projects was in recondi-
tioning American Army mismated
shoes. Returning GIs tossed aside
their war-torn shoes and received
new ones from Uncle Sam. In the
process, the worn shoes became mis-
mated, and unscrambling them be-
came a major task, Mr. Breen said.
Some 6,229, 900 pairs of shoes were
involved in the entire program
most of them mismated UNRRA
bought them from the armed forces
surplus.
John E. Lynch, shoe specialist,
who comes from Randolph, Mass,
was obtained from the United States
Army Quartermaster Corps, to aid
in the big UNRRA mismated shoe
rehabilitation program He is now
with the War Assets Administration.
Nearly 5000 900 pairs of shoes were
sent overseas to be rebuilt in fac
tories in Greece, Yugoslavia, Italy
and Poland. In addition, some l.
229, 900 pairs of salvaged Army shoes
were rebuilt in the Buford (Ga.)
plant, operated by the Procurement
Division, Treasury Department, In
coordination with the Army Quar-
termaster Corps. These also were
sent abroad.
Army Surplus Shoes Bought.
- In December of last year, UNRRA
purchased 1,Qoo, 900 pairs OF surplus
Army shoes. Some were in need Of
repair, and q great many were mis-
mated. They were obtained from the
surplus property division Of the Re-
construction Finance Corporation,
but the Procurement Division of the
Treasury Department and the War
Assets Administration have played
parts in the entire pro-
gram.
Mrs. Shaw said some of the sal
vaged shoes were used as repair
material, but most of them were
reconditioned and shipped abroad
to the needy.
Mr.. Lynch returned to the United
States in July, after six months in
Europe with the shoe rehabilitation
program. The unrepaired shoes were
assembled in carload lots and then
shipped overseas. In Europe, Mr..
Lynch had arranged with the gov
ernments concerned to supply space
and personnel with which to set up
the factories for repairing the shoes.
One shipment of 80 carloads alone
went to Italy.
These discarded Army shoes had
to be used for men. Mrs. Shaw said
that while women's shoes were de-
sired, under this phase Of the work,
an effort to get WAC shoes was not
successful. New shoes were pur-
chased here for women and chill
dren, Mrs. Shaw said.
Special Soles Sent.
UNRRA sent from the United
States to Greece, Italy, Yugoslavia
and Poland special composition
soles to be used on the recondi.
toned shoes. Metal abroad was

CLOTHING BUDGET OF UNRRA

and this enabled UNRRA to take
care Of the many women abroad
who needed shoes.
Letters of appreciation were re-
ceived from the governments and
the UNRRA missions as q result OF
the Army shoe-reconditioning pro-
gram, Mrs. Shaw said. More than
95 per cent of all the shoes were
found usable, she explained. After
being rebuilt, each pair of shoes
will last the wearer about IS months,
Mrs. Shaw estimated.

SET CEILINGS
ON NEW CARS

OPA announced this week
that ceiling prices have been
set on several makes of new
cars.
Ceiling for the 1916 model
Chevrolet four-door sedan was
placed at 1915 retail f. o. b.
Detroit compared with the 1912
model price of 1888 exclusive of
excise tax, transportation, prep
aration and handling charges.
The $43 increase is allowed to
compensate for engineering
changes and Improvements.
About $4,000 of these cars are
now in the hands of dealers, it
was stated.
Increased in factory ceiling
prices for 1916 model passenger
automobiles manufactured by
Chrysler, Ford, Hudson and
Nash were also made public.
The action reflects wage in
creases and engineering changes
and improvements. Part of in
crease Is being absorbed by the
manufacturers and part by re-
tail ceilings.

will be decreases in prices to
the consumer on other makes
of cars to be announced in the

MUST
BUS STOP LAW

Emphasis is being placed by
the state highway department
On the failure of many trucks
and passenger car drivers to
observe a regulation requiring
vehicles to come to a full stop
when they approach school bus
es loading or unloading.
It was pointed out that chill
dren have a tendency to dart
out from behind the school bus
ses when they stop to load or
unload. In order to assure their
safety. the law requiring We
hicles to stop reads as follows:
"The driver of a vehicle upon
a highway 49,. upon meeting
or overtaking any school bus
which has stopped on the
for the purpose of re-
ceiving or discharging am
school children shall come to a
complete stop and shall not re-
sumo motion until the school
bus has completed loading or
unloading passengers"
The law applies to vehicles
approaching a school bus from
either direction, front or rear.
Drivers are uged to be paticu-
larly careful in regard to this
laW.
