voy and adviser to this nations
Army Reorganization Committee
This agreement represents the
hope Of China" Gen. Marshall as
serted after the signing. Il can only

feat the Chinese people in their ov-
erwhelming desire for the right to
live in peace and prosperity"
The agreement provides for re-
duction OF government forces to SC

ference in Marking recently.

ject is to facilitate the economic re-
habilitation of China and provide
a basis for development of an ef-
feStive military force capable of
safeguarding national security.
1t provides for force consisting
Of three divisions each, with service
troops not to exceed Is per cent of
their total strength.
China was divided into eight
service areas under directors re-
sponsible to the minister of national
defense, or the national military
council.
Earlier today reports circulating
in Chungking political circles said
IA top-ranking generals had petit
toned Generalissimo Chang Kai-
shek recently against reducing the
army at time when the third
world war is in the making" but
that Chang refused to halt reduc-
tion.

young Chinese staged a noisy DEM
onstration at the Russian consulate
general. They sealed the consulate
doors with bright-colored posters
which demanded that the Russians
get out of Manchuria.
Students in Chungking, encour-
aged by the response to their DEM
onstration Friday, planned another
quit Manchuria" parade tomorrow.
In Hankow plans were announced
for q similar demonstration March 4

.AItmeyer Outlines
Larger, More Liberal
Social Security Plan
Urges House Approval
Of Measure COVERING
II 900, 900 Workers

DR.. A. ]. Altmeyer, chairman
OF the Social Security Board, to-
day asked the House Ways and
Means Committee to approve
legislation which would provide
social security benefits for most
of the Nations 81 900 900 workers
not now covered by the Federal
system.
The social security chief also
urged more liberal provisions to give
workers credit for a higher proper
ton Of their earnings in line with
general wage increases since 1899.
MIR. Altmeyer, first witness at
hearings on series of bills to ex-
tend the social security system,
recommended that agricultural la
borers, domestic servants, employees
OF nonprofit organizations, Fed
eral, State and Municipal employees,
and self-employed persons includ-
ing farmers and small businessmen
be included in the system.
Would Cover Five Years.
If these are allowed to share in
Social Security benefits, Mr.. Alt
meyer said, present payroll deduc-
tions of per cent each for en-
ploye and employer probably would
be sufficient to cover current costs
OF the expanded program for
another five years. If the rate is
raised to 2 per cent each, he said,
the revenues could maintain the
program for at least 10 years. BY
that time, he estimated, total re-
serves of the fund would be about
$14 ,000, 900. 900.
Eventually, Mr.. Altmeyer said, If
coverage is general among all class
es OF workers, the Government
would be justified In subsidizing the
system to prevent large payments
by workers and their employers.

Border Well
Testing Lime

Mel cod Oil Company Is prepar-
ing to test the Madison lime in
well only a couple of miles north
of the Montana-Alberta border, and
about Is miles northwest of the test
now being drilled on the Blackfeet
Indian reservation, west of the Cut
Bank field by the Montana Power
Company.
Commenting on this well, the
Western Oil Examiner of Calgary
says:
"All the outside wells got share
of severe weather conditions this
week and among the many affected
by deep snow and blocked roads
was the Macleod Del Bonita well.
The we'll had been drilled to 1865
feet and so feet in the lime when
the latest reports came to hand.
Since then expert opinion has been
obtained on cores obtained from
earlier porosity and as these show
evidence of oil and gas saturation
casing will be set to the lime and
tests made. 1t is planned to test and
acidiZe the upper zones before drill
ing down to the deeper porosity"

Oil Subsidies
MAY Be Ended
By Price Hops

WASHINGTON - Early final Ii
quotation of stripper well premium
payments on all crude purchases
except those from Pennsylvania
grade fields is expected as a result
of the latest 10c per barrel general
increase.
Price hike raises postings for
most crudes Csc above June 80 OPA
ceiling, and maximum amount of
subsidy payable for all except Penn
grade crudes is Csc, so basis for
continuing payments any longer is
automatically eliminated.
Sec. 4 of directive issued Aug. %
by OWMR Director Steelman, re-
ducing stripper payments 25c or
more. provided that premium rate
per barrel for crude produced from
any pool listed in regulation might
be further reduced upon 80 days
notice or in event 1t is determined
that there has been any additional
general price increase.
OWMR and RFC now are. study
ing market reports to determine If
present increase is a general one,
and order disseminating payments
outside of Pennsylvania grade area
probably will issue as soon as they
can satisfy themselves on that score.
Penn grade crudes, currently re-
ceiving Soc per barrel subsidy, have
not yet advanced in price and ap-
parently would have to advance at
least soc to wipe out premium pay
ments there.
