continued high during the past
week, according to the State Plant

A District government fight
ing to keep its head above rap
idly rising budget costs was de-
scribed today by Representative
Stefan, Republican, of Nebraska
as he took the House floor to
demand a substantial boost in
the Federal payment to the Ma
tional Capital.
While not specifying any exact
figure, he contended there was ample
justification for a doubling of the
present $6,000,000 Federal lump sum
payment toward the maintenance
and development of the Capital City.
The only alternatives to such a
move, other than permitting the
District to "go into the red,' he said,
were to impose immediate and
drastic economies or to sharply raise
District taxes. And District taxes,
his study showed, already ranked
high among those of the larger
cities. --.-ra--sea,s--.4--- ---s

Chinese Peace Farley
Gets Fresh Reports
OF Armed Clashes
Committee to Reorqunize
Army on Reduced Scale
Begins Functioning
By the Associated Press.

CHUNGKING, Jan. 16.-New
reports of armed clashes in
North China, in violation of the
recently reached government
Communist truce, were report
ed today to the Political Con-
Sultation Conference.
The reports were made by Gen.
Chang Chun, Governor of Szechwan
Province and the government rep
resentative on Gen. George c. Mar
shall's Truce Committee which last
week formally arrived at a peace
pact.
Chou En-lai, Communist repre-
sentative on the committee, said
both Gen. Chang and he "are wor-
ried by reports of continued fight
ing"
Gen. Chang announced that a
three-man committee, projected un-
der an October 10 Kuomintang ma
tionalist) party Communist agree
ment to reorganize the Chinese
Army, had been formed and held its
first meeting yesterday.
The members are Gen. Chang and
Gen. Chang Chih-chung, represent
ing the government, and Chou, for
the Communists.
Plan to Reduce Army.
Gen. Chang Chun said he hoped
the committee would achieve reor-
ganization of the Chinese Armies
within three months.
Gen. Lin Wei, Vice Minister of
War, said plans call for reduction of
the present strength of the Chinese
Army from 4,830,000 to 1900, ,00O
within six months. A large number
of demobilized troops would be en-
ployed to build railways and high
ways and on water conservancy and
other projects.
Chou expressed hope that ma
tionalization of the armed forces
could be carried out simultaneously
with characterization of the govern
ment.
He said the Communists would
adhere to their October 10 pledge to
reduce their armies to 20 divisions
but contended this program should
be co-ordinated with reorganization
of government forces.
He proposed that during the in
terim period a minister of war who
is member of neither the Kuomin-
tang nor Communist parties should
be appointed.
He also proposed that any for.
eign loans to China should be used
for rehabilitation and reconstruc-
ton and not to maintain military
forces.
Clashes in Seven Provinces.
Representatives of the govern.
ment, the Communists and the Dem
ocratic League all advocated that
the army should be divorced COM
pletely from politics and belong to
the state instead of to individual
parties.

occurred in seven provinces Mon

Louis-Conn Fight Set
In New York June 19
ky the Associated Press.

Ky the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, Jan. 16.-Promoter
Mike Jacobs said today the heavy
weight title fight between Cham
pion Joe Louis and Billy Conn
would be held in Yankee Stadium
on Wednesday night, June 10.
Ending speculation over the site
for the first heavyweight title fight
in four years, Jacobs said Larry
MacPhail, president of the New
York Yankees, told him construc-
ton work now under way at the
stadium would make it possible to
seat more than 100000.
Jacobs did not set the scale of
ticket prices, but he has said in the
past he might ask as much as $10O
for ringsioe seats.
Both Louis and Conn have signed
for the return bout. Louis knocked
out Conn in the 18th round of their
previous meeting at the Polo
Grounds in '1941.
Louis last defended the cham
pionship against Abe Simon in
March, 1912, in a bout staged at
Madison Square Garden for Navy
Emergency Relief.
His last appearance at Yankee
Stadium was in 1910 against Arturo
Godoy, whom Louis stopped in
eight rounds.
