Communist Leader Warns Present Fighting May
 Soon Engulf Nation

HAWKING, Aug. 2.-Chinese Communist spokesman Wang Ping nan said today that the government must decide within the next few days whether China is to have peace or war.
 Unless Chiank Kai-shek makes a decision to ask for an uncondi- tional cease-fire and implement de- cisions calling for a coalition gov ernment, the present fighting will soon engulf all China" Wang said
 The next few days should give the answer to whether it is fight or peace"

Stuart, U. s Ambassador to China, still is in the summer capital of Ruling, where he has had several discussions with  Chiang.

 TREATY MEET
King Says Peace Writing Be Speeded by Confdb
 During Conference

PARIS, Aug 2-Prime Minister w. L. Mackenzie King of Canada proposed before the 21-nation Peace Conference today that the Council of Foreign Minister of the four principal powers speed the writing of the peace by holding a meeting of their own during the conference.
 King said: T would like to see the four great powers willing to consider and consider promptly any changes in the foreign ministers proposals (contained in the five draft treaties before the confer ence)) which are seriously suggest ed by strong arguments"
 Under the present procedure any changes suggested by the Confer cnce have to be approved by the Foreign Ministers of Britain, Rus sia, France and the United States.
 Chairman Not Decided
 The Canadian Prime Ministers speech before the general assembly followed a morning of wrangling in the rules committee over who should be permanent chairman of the Conference. The question was left undecided.
 Preceding King, the Foreign Min ister of Czechoslovakia, Jan Mas aryk, in an obvious reference to Hungarian minorities within his country, declared the Czech people would not accept renewal of pre- war treaties fer protection of minority groups. ..-.s..-
 If the Czech government should try to force the people into it, it would very likely have to look for another job," Masaryk said.
 Under pre-war treaties, Hungar- ian minorities in Czechoslovakia practically enjoyed autonomy. Since the end of the second World War CZechoslovakia has insisted upon getting rid of both German and Hungarian minorities, who con- tributed to breakup of the country after the Munich Agreement of 1888.

Byrnes, were really running the Conference of Paris, it would probably accomplish even less. However, this observer = having attended many international par 'ieys from the Washington Arms Conference of 1921 to the present -humbly offers two suggestions:
 l. The United States has be- come so confused trying to straighten out the back alleys of Trieste that we have lost sight of the guiding stars for which we fought-the Four Freedoms and The Atlantic Charter.

 Congress Is

Truman Sings Legislative Overall BiII-Commit-
 ice Ranks Cut

WASHINGTON, Aug 2 = Presi- dent Truman signed into law to- day bill calling for an extensive overhaul of the legislative ma chinery in Congress and including a $2,500 pay boost for members
 The measure raises the yearly salary of legislators from $l00OO to $12,500. It also retains a $2,- 500 annual tax-free expense allow ance. Another provision permits members past 62 years to retire on pension after six years service, if they contribute to Civil Service retirement fund.
 Among several precedent-break- ing changes in Congressional pro- cedure is one provision slashing the number of Senate committees from B to Is and House commit tees from 48 to 19.
 Other key provisions include:
 l. Adjournment-Congress would adjourn each year from at least August l to January l, to allow members more time at home.
 2. Lobbyists-Congressional lob byists would be required to regis ter their names, employer, and ex- penses so the legislators could keep a better check on them.
 3. Bills-Federal agencies are given broader authority, so that Congress will not have to act on minor claims, pension and local bills.
 4. Budget-Four major commit tees are required to meet at the start of each Congress and recom- mend Federal budget for the en- suing year, with a specified maxi mum amount.
