Chinese Agree To Buy
U.S.. Army Installations
By WALTER RUMBLE
United Press Staff CorreSpOnden

| SHANGHAI, Jan. 1.-THE Chi
nese government has agreed tt
buy major portion of all U. s.
army stock and fixed installations
remaining in west China, it was
disclosed today. The sale will
permit the removal of virtually all
United States personnel from, the
isolated and frequently hazardous
Chinese interior.
Headquarters of U. S.. forces re-
vealed that the Chinese govern
ment agreed to pay $25, ,000
United States dollars and 6,160, 000,.
600 Chinese dollars for the stock.
Gin New York the official rate
of exchange-under which no one
in Shanghai does any business
was quoted at 1,400 to 1900 Chi
nese dollars to one American dol
lar. .--... -..,......---
The agreement, which was sign
ed Nov. 20 by DR.. T. v. Soong
and U. S. Army representatives,
provided for the transfer of 10
categories Of supplies ranging
from office equipment to COM
plete air fields.
The Chinese government agreed
to pay $3,000,000 U. S. Dollars of
the $25,000,0O0 in cash and the
remainder in 30 equal annual pay
ments at an interest rate Of 2
3-8th per cent on unpaid balances.
The Chinese dollar payments will
be made from credits against an
estimated 100000, 0QO,000 Chinese
dollars furnished the U. S. Army
during the war.
Headquarters officials noted that
the sale would return slightly more
than so per cent of the cost less
depreciation of the property to
the U. S. Treasury. They pointed
out that these terms make the
transfer cne Of the most satisfac-
tory sales of army property yet
concluded in any overseas area.
Maintenance and protection of
the property formed a constant
threat against the lives and safety
of American soldiers in turbulent,
bandit-ridden west China.
The stock included trucks, ord
nance equipment, Navy construc-
ton machines and engineer equip
ment, telephones, radio sets and
parts, wire and other signal corps
equipment, drugs, medicines, hos
pital and dental supplies and air
craft, but no major air instal1a-
lions.
United States Treasury and State
Department officials and repre-
sentatives of the Foreign Liquida-
ton Commission took part in the
negotiations. The agreement will
make possible the evacuation of all
but a small number of American
personnel from west China and the
close of all U. S. Army installa-
tons except those in Chungking
and Running where small GUS
todiaI and liasion groups are ex-
pected to remain until deactivation
Of the Chinese theater.

CLOTHERS ASKED

WASHINGTON, Jan. T. WD -
The government asked mems
clothing stores today to put "for
veterans only signs on most if
not all their stocks of hard-to-get
apparel.
The civilian production admin
istration, which issued the request,
said it was thinking of such gar
ments as suits, oyercoats, shirts
and heavy underwear.
These items, OPA said, should
be reserved for discharged service
men in Substantial proportion. "
But where reasonable needs can
not be met otherwise, reservations

for veterans is recommended"
CPA said the clothing situation
should improve considerably in the

$500 SUPPLEMENT
VOTED BY BOARD

The Board of County Commits
sioners voted yesterday to supple
lnent the present appropriation for
aid to dependent children by 5000
monthly. The decision applies to
the remaining five months OF the
fiscal year.
The first action followed a report
by j. R. Hollis, county welfare de-
partment superintendent, that the
number Of cases of dependent chill
dren had increased to 105, against
80 last year. In addition to the los
now aided, an additional nine ap-
plications have been flied.
The action Of the board received
the affirmative vote of all commits
sioners except Louis Coleman,
who explained his dissenting vote
as resulting from the disclosure
that one of the nine cases concern
ed the children of a Negro man
who had deserted them and their
mother.
Although Hollis explained that a
warrant was out for the Negro,
charging him with non-support,
Coleman asserted that authorities
should have located him and re-
turned him to the county to support
the children.
To a question posed by Hollis ask
ing who would feed the children
while the father was being located
Coleman made no reply.
A previous decision appronriat.
ing 81, 300 for a roster of names OF
New Hanover servicemen was
rescinded.
Decision to rescind the 81 300 al
location followed a revelation by
A. B. Rhodes, register of deeds.
that the American Legion was un-
dertaking to make a roster and
would give the city and county Of
fetal copies Of the list of service
men.
Rhodes previously had been in
strueted by the commissioners to
make a similar roster and said he
didn't think it necessary for both
the Legion and county to compile
the lists Of names, since it would
be only duplication.
The Register of Deeds said he
had conferred with bota Legion
and county to compile the lists of
names, since it would be only dupl-
cation.
The Register Of Deeds said he
had conferred with both Legion
and city officials in regard to the
matter and asked that, in lieu of
the $1,000, the county make a do
nation to aid the Legion in secur-
ing the necessary information.
Following lengthy discussion,
during which Rhodes explained the
matter in great detail, the board
rescinded the $1,000, but failed to
take any other action.
Later in the meeting, on the sug-
gestion of Commissioner Harry
Gardner, the matter was turned
over to a committee for further
study.
After being informed that there
was some controversy between
Rhodes and DR.. A. H. Elliot, city
county health officer, in regard to
the best method in which to record
birth certificates, the commission
ers decided to invite both men to
meet with the county board next
Monday, in an effort to iron out
the difficulties.
