Chinese Sign Merger To
 Reduce Arms

Undated, (P)-The Chinese gov ernment and Communist military signed a merger which calls for the gradual reduc- ton of the army into a modern tightly knit national defense force which may aid in the nations re mobilization. The agreement was signed in Chunking in the pres ence of General Marshall, and provides for the reorganization of government forces into fifty divi- SiOnS, and Communist troops into ten divisions, within eighteen months, embracing twenty armies, of three divisions each, with the President of the republic as com mander in chief.
 While Chinese officialdom was taking another stride toward un- ity, agitation for the withdrawal of Soviet troops from Manchuria appeared to be mounting steadily in Shanghai. Demonstrators plas- tered the door of the Russian con Sulate with posters demanding the Red army quit sprawling all over the territory.
 Bombay had it's first quiet night since last Monday when rash riots followed a strike of Indian sailors who charged discrimination, by British student leaders, who said they protest the use of British military forces to quell the mu- tiny and civilian violence. The commander in chief Gen. Sir Claude Auchinleck, is credited by military spokesmen with averting a possible revolution.
