CHINESE GO BACK
TO NANKINC CITY
Government Headquarters
Once More In Ancient
Northern Town

NANKING, May 1.-P)-China's
government moved back official
ly today from Chungking to this
ancient northern city and was
confronted with problems almost
as complex as those of 1887 when
the Japanese drove it out of Nam
king.
In government halls where the
Japanese conqueror and his pup
pet government once sat, the
rulers of a freed China must
tackle the monumental problems
of internal strife and reconstruc-
ton.
Heavy Task
The government declared the
task of reconstruction was heavier
than that of waging war, and
urged the people to unite in bring
ing peace and prosperity to China.
The paramount job of the mo
ment was to halt the government
Communist fighting in Manchurla.
Hopes For Peace
General Marshall, special U. S.
envoy who arranged the truce for
China proper, was reported hope
full that an agreement hating the
Manchurian conflict could be made
shortly after the government and
| Communist negotiators arrive
from Chungking later this week.
On the political front, Minister
Of Organization Chen Li-Fu told
a press conference the National
Assembly might be convened early
in June to adopt China's new con-
stitution.
Meeting Delayed
Chang Kai-shek postponed the
Assembly, originally scheduled tc
meet May S, as one concession to
the Communists, who had been
demanding a delay.

SENATOR'S SPLIT
ON BRITISH LOAN
Congress Also Hears And
erson On OPA, Forces
al On Merger Issue

WASHINGTON, May /. -(P)-
The Senate went on Wednesday
with it's lengthy debate over
whether to lend Britain $780,
900, 900 while its committees dealt
again with the long-argued topics
of OPA extension and an armed
forces merger.
The British loan argument found
two midwestern Republicans on
opposite sides. Senator Brooks
(R.-Ill.) called the proposed credit
extension a worldwide WPA pro-
ject that will lower our American
standard of living" Senator Hick-
enlooper Galloway countered that
it was IAN earnest effort to stabi-
lie a great portion of the economy
of the world which will advance
the cause of humanity"
To House First
A Democrat, Edwin C.. johnson
of Colorado, meanwhile disclosed a
plan to shunt the hot issue over to
the House for the first decision. He
told a reporter that he would raise
the technicality that the legislation
is a revenue raising measure and
as such must originate in the
House.
Arguing before the Senate Bank
ing committee for extension of the
OPA another year after June 30,
Secretary of Agriculture Anderson
said he would favor suspension of
price controls on meat if the meat
distribution situation is not cleared
up in 80 days. Anderson told re-
porters later he meant that price
suspension should be tried as an
experiment if present government
remedial steps fail, but that the
government powers of control
should be continued.
Attacks Merger
Secretary Forrestal returned to
the attack on the Army-Navy mer-
ger legislation now being consider
ed by the Senate Naval COM
mittee. He praised President Tru-
mans 'basic objective" of unity
ing the armed forces, but said the
measure introduced to carry Out
| the Presidents recommendations
sis based upon a major premise
which is false" The Senate Mill
tary committee already has ap'
proved the bill.

Bumper Cranberry
CrOD Is Harvested

WASHINGTON. - Turkey eaters,
honing their appetites this holiday
season, will not want for tangy cram
berry sauce, for another bumper
crop of the tart berry that adds
tradition as well as zest to holiday
feasts has been harvested in the
Cape Cod district. =.
True to form, the Cape Cod sector
again will supply about two-thirds
of the nations cranberry supply.
Occasionally, as in 1914, the Cape
Cod crop falls short of expectations
and the berry is scarce in the ma
tion's grocery stores.
Thousands of harvesters, working
with slotted scoops and nimble fin
gers through the fall months, have
combed the nations bogs to gather
more than 100000 barrels. The crop
is second only to the 1887 output of
877 300 barrels. In 1912 as well as
in 1887, Massachusetts marshes pro-
duced few thousand barrels more
than their estimated total of $4,000
barrels for the present crop.
More than $50, 900, 900 is invested
in the scientific business Of growing
and processing cranberries. The in
dustry puts to use about so square
miles Of land that previously lay
waste, unsuited to any other type Of
agriculture. The new crop, worth
about $4,000, 900, will reach stores in
the form of sauce, juice and dehy-
drafted fruit, as well as in raw fruit
form.

Entries in the sheep department

largest, closely followed by Shrop-

Stress Wool Show.
To encourage production of better
wool, to stimulate interest in proper
preparation of wool for market and
to ascertain commercial grading of
feeces of the various breeds, spe-
cial emphasis is being placed on
the wool show.
This years barrow show is expect
ed to surpass all previous exhibitions
in interest and size. This is attrib-
uted to postwar production condi-
tions and increased interest among
boys and girls. Bulk of the entries
will come from the Corn Belt region.
BY counting the carlot entries as
individuals, nearly $500 hogs will be
entered in the International. Many
of the entries will be shown by
leading colleges of the nation, as in
the case of cattle and sheep en-
tries.
There may be fewer horses ON
the farms than 10 years ago but
entries at the International will
indicate no shortage. Draft
horses from many states and
Canada will compete for the val
liable list of awards. Draft geld
ing show will be particularly
strong. Breeders are reporting
greatly revived interest in
horse breeding, which has en-
cOuraged the breeders to display
their wares.
