Marshall Says Peace
In China Impossible
Declares Battle To The
Death In Making Be-

SHANGHAI, China, Aug. 10.-U.H
Gen. George C. Marshall declar-
ed officially today that peace in
China was impossible and that a
battle to the death was in the max.
ing between Central government
forces and the Chinese com
munists.
1.-THE fighting daily grows more
widespread and threatens to en-
gulf the country and pass beyond
the control of those responsible
Marshall said in a joint statement

U. S. ambassador to China.

shall, convinced the peace mission
on which President Truman had
sent him was a failure, would re-
turn to the United States about
Sept. IS. There was little likelihood
he would return to China.
Marking political sources said
the Central government of Gen
eralissimo Chang Kai1Shtk, after
more than 20 years warfare with
the Chinese Communists, was de-
termined to wipe them out by mill
tary means and extend its jurls-
diction over all China.
Government minister of informa-
ton Peng Hsuch-Pei said Chang
would issue an important state
ment next Wednesday (which will
define the government position"
Peiping dispatches reported a
second clash between U. S. Ma

Tientsin dispatches said U. S.
Marine force headquarters there
held their first city-wide security
drill since arriving last October.
The Marines threw guards around
all headquarters buildings in the
city as they would do in the case
of a sudden attack. 1t was announ-
ced that such security drills would
be held weekly from now on.
The joint statement by Marshall
and Stuart said that together they
had explored every possibility for
peace without success.

DELEGATES TOLD
ITALIAN PEACE TREATY
PROPOSAL IS PUNITIVE
DE CASPERI ASKS
FOR YEARS DELAY
Italian Premier Protests
Many Phases OF Paris
Treaty Plan
BY JOSEPH DYNAN

PARIS, Aug. 10 -P)e Italy's
premier struck out at the propos-
ed Italian peace treaty today as
punitive" and beyond his coun-
try's capacity to fulfil, and urg-
ed the peace conference to post
pone for a year settlement of the
Trieste and other frontier prob
lens.
The decision to internationalize
Trieste, Premier Alcide de Gasperi
said, was "a bite into our very
flesh"
Pleading Italy's cause before an
afternoon session which received
his arguments in cold silence, de
Gasperi protested the deep slash
in 1taly's ornaments, the bills for
reparations, and the changes in
the Italian frontier, particularly
the Big Four decision on Trieste
and Venezia Goulia.
He buttressed his request for a
delay. by reference to Italian
claims against Germany, asking:
l this not another proof that no
final settlement in Europe can be
attained before peace is made with
Germany"
There was no applause or other
demonstration by the conference
after De Gasperi's 41-minute
speech, but as he walked back up
the center aisle U. S. Secretary of
State leaned out and shook hands
with him.
The conference adjourned until
Monday with a decision to defer
discussions on the Italian plea
until then. It also took no action
after a mornings debate on adj
mission of Albania as a member.
Soviet Foreign Minister v. M.
Molotov again walked from the
room while the Greek delegate
was speaking, and the Yugoslav
delegate charged that it was the
policy of Greece, bitter opponent
OF Albania, Ito foment and start
war in the Balkans"
De Gasperi, urging delay on Tri-
este, said:
9" am well aware that peace
must somehow be made, that the
deadlock must be broken. But
on the cher hand if you have de-
ferred by n year the colonial
settlement for lack of good solu-
ton, why can you not do like
wise for the Julian tTrieste and
Venezia Giulia) problem?
What good will come of cling
ing to a solution which only bids
for new trouble? Why shut your
ears to the cry Cor help of the
Italians in Austria x x x who at
this moment r preparing to
abandon hearth and home rather
than submit to the new (Yugsolav)
regime?"
De Gasperi described the
French Line" proposed as the
frontier between Italy and Yugo-
slavia as a line of political ex-
pediency" which left 100, 900 ItaI-
ians in Yugoslavia ard SO, 900 slavs
on Italian soil.
He recalled that he had offered
to relinquish the natural frontier
on the Alps and to fall back on the
lire traced by President Wilson
in 1919. He added that Italy ap-
proved with certain reservations
the Ethnic Line established by an
allied committee of experts last
Spring.
But the Yugoslav delegates in
sisted, with arguments still based
on the idea of punishment, for
total possession of Venezia Giulia,"
he said.
The premier described the pro-
posed free state of Trieste as a
mixture of Slav elements within a
predominantly Italian population,
dependent upon Italy for some
services and upon Yugosiavia for
others. He estimated its budgetary

cisions of auto industry execu-
tives set the price and produc-

Permanent Prices
In basic industry production
will not expand to increase sup
ply and drive down prices
Therefore, the end of price con-
troll will bring a permanent in
crease in the real prices paid by
workers and a permanent and
dangerous cut in the real wages
received by workers. In addi-
ton, there will be a tighter and
tig h ter long-term economic
squeeze on small business, small
industry, and agriculture.
More and more profit for big
business and simmer pickings
for the rest of the nation was
the formula of economic disaster
in he 1920's. Even more bitter
economic fruits will be har-
vested from the same formula
today.

driven cam shaft, a new heavy
duty oil pump, new carburetor
and more power. The gear ratio
of the rear axle Is 4.68 to /.
Brakes are hydraulic and of the
self-centering type.
Mounted on a new chassis, the
Jeep station wagon carries an
engine that has been improved
and developed for both power
and longevity. New independent
wheel suspension is used on the
front, which gives beautiful rid
ing qualities to the car. A large
hypoid axle and new type of leaf
spring for carrying the chassis
in the rear constitute the rear
suspension. The 104-inch wheel
base, while "a inches longer
than the Jeep wheel base, still
has a very short turning radius,
making the vehicle extremely
maneuverable in small areas.
The ride is all that can be de-
sired, and is unsurpassed by
any light car. 1t is a vehicle
built for low upkeep and top
gas mileage.

"The Jeep station wagon is a
peoples car" James D. Mooney,
president and board chairman of
WHY'S Overland declared, land
a lineal descendent of the war
time and later the Universal
.jeep."
1t has a direct appeal, he said,
to the farmer, the housewife, the
salesman, the small business
man. 1t can haul the family to
church or the children to school.
1t can also carry an unusually
large load of almost anything
requiring transportation =.
from freight to garden truck, or
a large amount of baggage.
Powered by the improved
famous Jeep SO HIP Go-Devil
engine, the Jeep station wagon
also bears a marked facial re-
semblance to the Universal Jeep.
It has hood that former servA
ice men instantly recognize as a
familiar symbol of dependabil5
ity, though the severity of the
original Jeep front and design
has been greatly lessened under
the hands of Brooks Stevens,
famous automotive stylist. A
year has been devoted to design
ing, engineering and testing the
car.
However, with the engine and
front end, the external similar
ity of the Universal Jeep and the
Jeep Station wagon ceases, for
while WHY'S Overland has built
into the station wagon all the
sturdiness and power of the
Jeep, the company also has made
of it in line and color and adorn-
ment a smart vehicle. The new
car is socially acceptable on the
smartest private driveway.
The new station wagon has
surprising capacity. Again COM
pairing it with the Universal
Jeep, it has a wheel base of 104
inches as against 80 for the
Jeep. The station wagon is
174 1915 inches in overall
length against 103 for the Jeep.
Other notable improvements
in the engine of the famous Jeep
include a h heavily counter
weighted crank shaft, a geSe-

Profifeers
Prepare
For Killing

WASHINGTON, July 22nd -
nPA) - Attempts at compro-
mise in the fight over Price
Control Act gave no hope that
the OPA would emerge from
the battle with any controls
that could slap down profiteers
who have boosted prices on cost
of living items an average OF
rs per cent in the past two
weeks.
There were few things about
the Senate's second draft of the
price control measure that were
improvements over the draft
which President Truman vetoed
In many respects, it was worse
New features included re-
moval of controls on the prices
of: livestock, meat and poultry;
milk and dairy products; cotton
seed, soybeans and their pro-
ducts; grain and feedstuffs; to-
bacco; and petroleum.
Rent control would be further
weakened under the new Senate
version by a provision that the
federal government could not
impose rent ceilings in states
which had their own rent con-
troll organizations. Many states
have much weaker laws than
the federal act, many of which
would allow rent boosts almost
at will, and would leave tenants
almost as helpless as If there was
no rent ceiling at all.
The two provisions to which
President Truman took especial
exception in his veto message -
the Taft pricing formula amend
ment, and the Wherry whole
salers' and retailers markup
amendment - were slightly inn
proved, and may be acceptable
TO the Administration.
Subsidies on food are cut
drastically in both the old and
new versions, auto and appli-
ance dealers get special treat
ment in both bills, and the low
cost clothing program is abolish
ed in both measures.
Meanwhile, President Truman
told his press conference that
prices were going up sharply in
the absence of controls, and his
Reconversion Advisory Board
warned that abandonment of
price control would leave the
country unprotected against a
dangerous rise in prices" Of
ficials of the Nat'l Association of
Manufacturers and u. S. Cham
ber of Commerce as well as la
Dor and farm groups sit on the
Board.
II was more than two months
ago that debate began on the
OPA extension measure, and
prospects seemed dim that
there would be any decisive
action until shortly before Con-
gress recesses for the summer.

on our hands, maybe we will

Warns Of
Labor Unrest

WASHINGTON, July % -
IGPA) -. CIO President Philip
Murray warned Congress last
week of the danger of wide.
spread unrest" if prices continue
to rise.
Testifying before special
House Labor subcommittee in
vestigating the basic causes OF
strikes, Murray declared that
Congress has persisted in le-
gislation against labor and in
sisted on legislation on matters
that had nothing to do with
basic strike issues"
There has been ample, evil
dence, Murray said, that major
American industries engaged In
conspiracy last fall to disrupt
production in order to induce
Congress to pass anti-labor legis-
lation.
Emphasizing that 'every
strike involved firm recall
citrance of employers" Murray
said, "In virtually every
major industry the strikes have
been settled. Major wage pat
terms of the country have for
the present been determined. We
have worked out the issues OF
the immediate postwar months,
and management cannot in the
main blame strikes today for
any defect of production"

Scandol Exposes
Dealers In Dedfh

WASHINGTON (LPA)-What
started as an Arabian Nights
tale of how two brothers pyra-
mided borrowed letterheao
into a fabulous munitions empire
with S73,000,000 in war con-
tracts last week exploded into a
scandal dwarfing even the epic
Teapot Dome.
Figuring in the sordid drama
were $3,520,000 in excess war
contracts profits attempts to
bribe a u. S. Senator; charges
that Rep. Andrew j. May ID,
Ky.) sought contract favors for
the paper empire; salaries to-
falling $1,380,000 to four COM
pany officials; financial dealings
with gamblers and the under
world; an "E" War production
award termed by Sen. Mead Cd,
N. " a disgrace; lavish $19,-
600 parties with costly gifts as
favors, and other irregularities,
as numerous as they were fam
tastic.
Using the borrowed letterhead,
Henry M. Carson obtained a
81 100000 contract for a myth
ical Erie Basin Metal Products,
Inc. to produce shells at a non
existent plant. Henry Carson,
who was indicted in 1925 for ac-
cepting $4,000 bribe while serv-
ing as an Internal Revenue
agent, was soon joined by his
brother Murray Carson who
had a 25-year criminal record.

out here are certainly better or
ganized and less of the rugged
Individual type than Eastern
farmers. One thing is certain,
the prices paid to the producers
and the cost of food to the con-
sumers will not reflect the con-
ditions of the market.
The buyers strikes proposed,

It is now apparent that the
hackers have taken the farmers
for a buggy ride and that when
the cattle and hog raisers wake
I'D, they, too, will realize what
labor has been aware of for
many months. Destruction OF
OPA and farm subsidies under
a system supposedly free from
control has merely traded gov
ernmental controls over prices
for private control in which the
latter shows no mercy and indls-
criminately takes advantage OF
both the farmer and consumer.
Labor Is Waiting
Out here, labor apparently is
waiting to see what is gong "a
take place before taking its po-
sition regarding any consumers

in this vicinity by any of the
Labor Unions although both ClC
and AFL leaders here say they
will follow the policy of then
Unions both with respect to the
consumers strike and seeking
higher wages if high price levers
are maintained.
Meanwhile, Governor warren
of this state has called the state
legislature into special session
for next Monday to set up state
rent control. This action of the
governor has tended to SLOW
down rent increases Throughout
the entire state and will very
likely result in a return to preVi'
Gus rentals without, of course
giving the renters any rebate toi
increases already paid.
Governor Warren is assured

his laurels. He obviously wants
