China Recalls Gen. Ho,
Arch Enemy Of Reds;
|FuN-ScaIe War Seen
By the Asseeiafed Press

The breakdown of Chinese
peace negotiations was reported
today to have prompted Cen
eralissimo Chang Kai-shek to
recall his top military leader,
Gen. Ho Ying- Chin, from the
United States
Chinese officials said Gen. Ho,
who currently is China's represen-
tative on the United Nations Stan
Committee, probably will leave for
home this month.
Gen. Ho and Ambassador Well
ington Koo paid what they termed
courtesy call on Secretary Of State
Marshall earlier this week.
China's wartime chief Of staff,
Gen. Ho is rated an uncompromis-
ing foe of the Communists. He long
has been identified with the ex-
treme right wing of the Marking
Nationalist regime which Gen. Mar
shall has blamed, along with Com
munist extremists, for the failure
of his efforts to effect a settlement
of China's civil strife.
The generals transfer to the
United States last year was viewed
at the time partly as a means of
giving Gen. Marshall a free hand in
trying to bring the moderates to-
gether.
Thus his recall is viewed by some
diplomatic authorities as a further
indication that the two rival fac
tions in China are squaring off to
resume full scale warfare in the
spring or summer.
Chinese. officials say only that
Gen. Hos work in this country Is
nearing completion. He heads a
military mission as well as serving
on the U. NJ committee, and officials
said the missions work has been
about wound up.
There is no hint whether Gen. Ho
will resume the post of chief Of staff
which he held for some nine years.
This has been filled since his de-
parture by Gen. Cheng Chen.
At the wartime peak, some 800
Chinese divisions were at least theo-
retically subject to Gen. Hos orders.
Talking to reporters after his call
on Gen. Marshall this week, Gen.
Ho said these had been reduced
since vi day to about $50 divisions
under Markings command, aside
from smaller Communist forces.
Nearly twoscore of the Nationalist
divisions are American-trained, and
Gen. Ho said his government still
will be dependent on the United
States for aircraft and heavy
weapons.

that genocide-the deliberate poll

of the economy Of nations, 1t will
also be vital to world recovery as
