Dies al 80;Was Eldest
'0f ) 'Patien Sisters

Miss Mary Elizabeth Patten. 80.
one of "the Patten sisters" whose
mansion at 2122 Massachusetts, ave-
nue. NV. was a gathering place for
Washington society for many years.
died yesterday at her present home,
1926 Massachusetts, avenue NV.
The Oldest of five sisters, Miss
Patten came here when young girl
in the 1880s from Nevada where her
father had made fortune in gold
mining. The family was one of the
first of the wealthy mine owners to
return east to live In great house
and In a grand manner. Others
who followed were the Washes,
Beales and Guggenheims.
The Patten house was built In
1883 on what was then the outskirts
Of the city. In it foreign diplomats,
American statesmen and renowned
clergymen were entertained. The
house became known as the Irish
Legation" because of the Irish ways
and appearance of the sisters and
their devotion to the church.
A private chapel was built for
the mansion to which Cardinal
Gibbons Of Baltimore, among
Others, often came.
Miss Patterns younger sister Helen
died only a month ago in the
present home. Josephine, another
sister, died 10 months ago in the
old mansion before it was sold six
months later, and still another
sister, Mrs. Augusta Glover, died
many years ago. Mrs. Edythe
Corbin, widow of Maj. Gen. Henry
Corbin, is the only surviving sister.
She lives at l726 Massachusetts,
avenue.

China Reds Demand
For Two Concessions
May 5nag Peace Move
BY the Associated Press

NANKING, Aug. 30.-United
States Ambassador J. Leighton
Stuart's committee of five
formed only yesterday to work
out a peace for China, struck a
possible snag today when the
Communists demanded that
Generalissimo Chang Kai-shek
make two major concessions be-
lore they would participate.
The generalissimo's troops, mean
while, filed unopposed into Cheng-
teh, capital of Jehol Province, ano
by Communist admission captured
three other important points to the
south, but the Communists claimed
they had scored such a resoundine
victory along the Yangtze 1t could
change the course of the civil war.
The Communist negotiator, Gen
Chou En-lai, handed his party's de-
mands to Gen. George c. Marshall,
special American envoy who left by
plane for the summer capital to
present them to Gen. Chang.
They included a demand that the
eeneralissi1no guarantee to issue a
cease-fire order as soon as agree
ment is reached on forming coali-
ton government initially through
establishment of a 40-member state
council, and secondly, that Gen.
Chang make plain that his in
sistence the Communists clear out
of five key areas will not be a pre-
requisite to the issuance OF the
cease-fire order.
IF the generalissimo refuses one
or both of these requests, We Will
not participate in the committee, ="
Communist spokesman Wang Ping
nan told the Associated Press.
The Communist Yenan radio
trumpeted that it's New 4th Army
with the support of the local popu-
lation" had wiped out seven of elev-
en- government brigades on a 100
mile front between Kiangtu and
Jukao, IN Kiangsu Province be-
tween Shanghai and Marking, the
capital.
Yenan conceded, however, that
the important Yellow River crossing
of Yuanku had fallen to the Nation
alists and admitted the loss Of XII
anghsien and Kuwo, all in South
ShanSi.
In evacuating Chengteh, the Com
muniSts followed their usual strategy
of not defending large cities against
concerted drives, preferring to take
to the countryside to harass the OPP
POSITIONS communications line-a
less costly process.
Military circles here predicted,
however, the Communists would put
up a fight for Kalgan, their military
base, in Chahar Province, 100 miles
northwest of Peiping. Government
troops are pushing on Kalgan.
Nationalist forces took over the
town of Faku, so miles north of
Mukden, without resistance

been Communicated by military and
police authorities for the movement
Of personnel, contrary to q contract
made with the Greek government.
Both these cases win be protested,
he said.
Mr.. Maben said the government
previously had requested use Of the
trucks for other than relief pur-
poses, but that UNRRA had re-
fused. In the two cases cited, Mr.
Maben said, the government did not
even file a request.

IHaifa Rail Saboteur
Sentenced TO Death
by Jerusalem Court
BY the Associotsd Press

JERUSALEM, Aug. 30.-Jacoh
Menahem Alcalay, the last of %
members of the so-called Stern
gang charged with sabotaging
the Haifa railway yards last
June, was sentenced to death by
a military court in Jerusalem
today.
The sentence is subject to confir-
nation by the British commander in
Palestine who last night announced
that he had commuted to life the
death sentences previously pro-
nounced against IS other members
of the same group. -Four girls tried
with the 10 two weeks ago were SEN
fenced to life imprisonment.
Alcalay, whose leg was injured
while fleeing Haifa incident, lay
strapped to stretcher reading a
bible throughout most of his trial
He made no reply when the court
asked if he cared to defend himself
to address the judges or to make a
plea for clemency. The court then
found him guilty Of five or six counts
connected with the attack on the
rail yards workshops June II.
Alcalsy received his sentence
without emotion, and the guard re-
hand-cuffed him to the stretcher
before carrying him away.
Cache of Arms Uncovered.
Military authorities reported that
airborne troops searching the village
of Dorot and Auhama in Southern
Palestine had unearthed a large
cache of munitions.
The informants were unable to
specify which of the two villages,
situated a short distance apart, had
been the scene of the discovery.
They said, however, that the find
was considerable"
Meanwhile, an Arab spokesman
said Britain's refusal to allow the
former Grand Mutt Of Jerusalem to
attend a scheduled Arab-Jewish
conference in London September 9
on the future of Palestine might re-
suit in an Arab boycott Of the meet
ing.
DR.. Hussein Ell Khalidi, secretary
of the Arab Executive, said IN an
interview last night that Palestine
Arabs would "flatly refuse" to attend
the conference and would insist
that other Arab nations also re-
fuse.
Conditions Seen Rejected.
Khalidi said the British now had
rejected all three Of the conditions
which the Arabs had made for par
ticipating in the talks. These pro-
visions, he said, were that no talks
be held on the partition scheme,
that the Mutt be invited and that
the Arab Executive be full delega-
ton"
Meanwhile, members Of the Jew
ish Agency Executive conferred In
London to decide whether the Exec
utive would attend the talks. The
group, headed by DR.. Chain Weiz-
mann, also was scheduled to deter
mine whether to accept the semi
partition plan for Palestine as q
basis of discussions or to insist on
the establishment Of a Jewish state.
