10000, 900 Chinese,
Tenth Of Eligible, Cast
Votes for Assembly
By the Associoied Press

SHANGHAI, Nov. 24.-Millions of
Chinese who were exposed to voting
for the first time in last week ends
National Assembly election, will re-
turn TO the polls next month to
elect a legislative Yuan, highest
legislative body in the nation.
Government sources estimated
20,0O0,00O Chinese men and women
voted. This was one-tenth Of those
eligible. The tabulation will not be
available for considerable time.
Voting for 773 members of the
legislative Yuan is scheduled for
December 81 to %. Two days later
the government has promised to
promulgate China's first constitu-
ton, to be nodded on democratic
lines.
Yuan Has Wide Powers.
The legislative Yuan has power
to decide on any statutory or budg-
etary measure or any bill bearing
on martial law. declarations of war,
treaties and other important state
affairs.
The National Assemblys powers
are limited to the election OF the
President and Vice President, re-
call of these officials and amend
ments or ratification OF amend
ments to the constitution.
AS in last. weeks election, the two
minor parties-the Young China
Party and the Democratic Socialists
must submit names of their can
didates for approval by Chiang's
Kuomintang Party.
Bigger Ratio Sought.
The Young China Party has NOM
mated 120 candidates and the DEM
ocratic Socialists are trying to ar
rive at the same figure so that the
combined minor party membership
would total one-third. This would
give them the veto over the Kuo-
mintang.
Minor parties now hold one-sixth
of the seats in the present appointed
Yuan. The Kuomintang would like
to preserve that ratio.
Government sources In Marking
said last week ends voting was
characterized generally by inept
handling. Most Chinese were un-
familiar with voting procedure.
Numerous violations of the election
laws were reported, especially as re-
CARDS the minimum voting age OF
20. Several candidates provided
voters free transportation to the
polls.

District law. he pointed out, no pre-

After three hours of deliberations,
the jury returned to ask Justice
Holtzod three questions through
the foreman, Christopher G. Foley,
auditor, of $500 Sixteenth street NV.
Does a guilty verdict mean a
mandatory death sentence?"
.It does" Justice Holtzof replied.
"If the jury recommends mercy,
will this request be granted?
No Alternative Permitted.
The justice explained the statute
allows him no alternative but to
impose the death sentence, but he
would convey the recommendation
to the Attorney General and the
President.
1T acquitted, will the defendant
be tried on lesser charger"
Justice Holtzof said he would
prefer not to answer the question
in view Of the fact that the only
proper issue before the jury was the
innocence or guilt of the defendant

This Changing World
Worried State Department Heartened
By Beyin's Speech on Marshall Plan

while RuSS1aS large mluLaIy lOTc6S
near the borders Of Western Europe
intimidated the people and their
governments.
Premier Paul Ramadier of France
and Premier Alcide de Casper OF
Italy made an experiment by kicking
Communists out of their cabinets.
This action was followed by a wave
of strikes in France, but they failed.
The situation is less clear in Italy.
Bevin Does Addition.
When Gen. Marshall, on the heels
Of these strong steps, extended the
helping hand Of the United States
with a plan to assist reconstruction
in Europe, the dynamic British For
eign Secretary took advantage OF
the situation and told the Russians
that this time, whether they liked
it or not, an attempt will have to
be made to put an end to Western
European chaos.
Mr.. Bevin is not slow in addition.
He took the Truman Doctrine, which
was political, and added to 1t the
offer OF American economic assist
ance. AS sum total he got COM
bined American policy on the basis
OF which he felt he could proceed
with q plan to integrate Western
Europe. The entity at which he
aims would not be bloc in the
Russian sense of the word, but would
bring all the nations outside the
iron curtain into loose combination
in which communism could be
eliminated.
If the reports we receive from
Western Europe-that communism
is not strong enough to resist
realistically strong policy-are cor
rect, the present ominous situation
may improve. But 1t is felt in OFF,
cial circles that premature conclu-
sions should not be drawn.
Attitude Is Welcome.
Mr.. Bevin's attitude Is welcome,
since it shows for the first time
that Britain no longer harbors her
past fear of what Russia might do
If she showed too much initiative.
The British government has a
well-organized intelligence service in
the United States. Its experienced
agents are said to have reported
that the American people would dig
deep in their pockets If they were
convinced that European countries
outside the, iron curtain would re-
move the political causes which SO
far have prevented economic re-
covery.
Under the cloak of accepting eco
nomic support from this country,
Mr.. Bevin is making the first at
tempt to organize the Western Eu-
ropean states, even at the risk of
offending the U. S. S. r.

pretended distrust of Government
propaganda is not convincing. The
State Department broadcasts have

Actual, open opposition to the

Wilson Found Guilty,
But Jury Pleads for
Mercy for Slayer

A jury whose guilty verdict
means a mandatory death sentence
for Floyd P. Wilson today was on
record as strongly recommending
mercy for the 32-year-old husband
and father of five children.
The jury of three women and
nine men even indicated that. at
one time during its four-hour de-
liberation yesterday afternoon, 1t
was considering a verdict Of not
guilty, il Wilson could be brought
to trial on lesser charge than
first degree murder.
Trial Justice Alexander Holtzoff,
however, informed the jury this
was an improper question to con-
slider in view Of the fact that VIII
son was charged with shooting
Milton E. Lowe to death while at
tempting to rob him of $4,000 last
February 8.
To Recognize Recommendation.
Upon hearing the verdict, Justice
Holtzof told the jury he would
pronounce the death sentence on
Wilson later but would take cog
ntzance of the mercy recommends
ton and convey it to the President
of the United States for his con-
sideration in ruling on an appeal
for clemency. He added he felt the
President would give the recon-
mendation due consideration.
AS Wilson was led from District
Court, he turned to his wife and
said, Good by. baby" Mrs. Wilson
had been weeping silently into
handkerchief, and her sobs became
audible after her husband ad-
dressed her.
Wilson had admitted from the
stand, and his story was corrobo-
rated by half-a-dozen Government
witnesses, that he went to a big
food store at 1924 Minnesota
avenue NE. with a loaded gun in
his pocket on the night of Febru-
ary 8.
Wilson admitted he waited out
side the store for Mr.. Lowe at the
closing hour, followed him to his
automobile, climbed in beside him
and with the loaded gun in his
hand ordered hirf to drive on.
Says Shot Accidental.
Wilson declared the gun went of
accidentally when Mr.. Lowe seized
the barrel and struggled with him.

jury to bring in its verdict only on

the present wavering political pol
icies of the principal western gov
ernments.
The strong pressure applied by
local Communist minorities, which
blindly follow orders from Moscow
has prevented any constructive
measures on the European continent
Without this calculated interference,
based on the axiom that the greater
the hardships the better the chance
for the Communists, Europe would
have been on the way to recovery for
some time.
Heretofore it has been impossible
for the French and Italian govern
ments, the largest in Western
Europe, to do anything to solve their
problems because of the opposition
of Communists, who were included In
cabinets on the theory that coalition
governments must be set up where
ever the Communists have repre-
sentation in Parliament.
Britain Slowed by Leftists.
On the other hand, Great Britain
which still enjoys certain prestige in
Western Europe, was slow in adopt
ing any kind of leadership. Her
representatives blew hot and cold at
every international conference.
This policy, which sprang from the
exhaustion of the British people and
the activities of the vociferous leftist
groups in the Labor Party, made
difficult any attempt to get Western
European countries together in a
common program. Moscow's stooges
in every one of these countries
reaped a rich harvest.
There was always the fear thai
any strong political reaction might
be answered by prompt Russian re-
action. Communists in every coun-
try inflltrated the labor unions and

mainder OF the $31 900 900 educa-
tional effort. Whether or not House
conferees, or the House itself, will
agree to appropriate even this mini
mum sum nobody can tell. Thus. far,
in the name of economy, the House
Appropriations Committee has indi-
Gated willingness to let the Ameri-
can story go untold in foreign coun-
tries.
1t has been a general belief of
Americans that, in our foreign rela-
tions, our best weapon and our most
persuasive argument are the truth.
But, until the development of the
State Departments system OF over
seas broadcasts, We had scarcely
scratched the surface Of the wide
areas of Misunderstanding and mis-
representation that exist in place
of the truth. There Is every evidence
to prove that the broadcasts are be-
ginning to do the needed job in
many countries, including the one
with which we are most concerned,
Russia.
Two Possibilities.
If this voice of America is silenced
there will remain two possibilities.
One Is that the private broadcasting
companies will take on the task in
a limited way, as labor Of love.
There is no profit in overseas broad
casts, nothing but expense. 1t Is
asking great deal of the broadcast
ing companies, therefore, to expect
them to carry this load.
The other possibility lies in the
service to foreign newspapers rem
dered by the American press associa-
tions. The press associations now
have such customers scattered all
around the world. BY the excellence
of their news coverage, superior to
all others, they have been able to
expand their lists of foreign clients
greatly in recent years. But that
doesn't mean that the American
presentation of news is reaching
any great part of the public in most
of the countries receiving it.
The press associations sell their
news-in the quantity desired and,
to some extent, in the form desired
to individual foreign newspaper
clients. They sell their news also
to some press and broadcasting
services in other lands-Tass In
Russia, for example. These news
papers and press or radio services
do what they please with the news
they buy. They do more. in many
cases, than merely translate it into
their own language. They use what
they like of the news and they use
it in their own way. They can and
do this for reasons perfectly good
to themselves, whether 1t is to serve
their own governments or whether
it is simply to please their readers.
What They Want.
And these local clients in Bonn
bay, Brussels, Blagoveschenk or
wherever can call for the kind OF
news they want. They can ask for
the CRIME of our underworld or
the glitter of our Hollywood, both
of which used to fascinate the
European press, or they can ask for
precisely what Secretary Marshall
said in his latest speech. They
get what they ask for. They sell
dom seek clear and comprehensive
picture of what the United States
is really up to.
| In this connection it is little
disheartening to find the press
associations, despite the splendid
pioneering they have done. taking a
dog in -the-manger attitude toward
the Governments overseas broad
casts. They appear to fear the COM

that directed against Mr.. Lilien-
thai and of a similar nature. He
was equally as warmly defended
and when M. Lilienthal and his
colleagues were confirmed no more
was heard about Mr.. Marks-until
now.
Mr.. Marks salary is $4,000 year
which is $4,000 above the level fixed
for similar positions in the various
Government agencies and independ-
ent Offices. The law creating the
Acc had provided, however, that it
was not bound by custom but might
hire Specialists" at its discretion
in order to accomplish the extraor-
binary work it had to do.
Budget Fares Well
When the Acc budget was con-
sidered by the House group, it Jared
on the whole .airly well; Acc asked
for $3.50, 100000; it got $175,0oo, 600
and may use various unexpended
balances from the Manhattan prof.
ect. This, according to Senator
Hickenlooper, chairman of the
Atomic Energy Committee, will give
the commission about the half-bil-
lion dollars which, concededly, they
will need for their work each year.
But the House subcommittee also
inserted the innocuous phrases which
cut Mr.. Marks down to the same size
as other top Government lawyers,
though he had been hired under a
different agreement. Salaries OF
the commission members cannot be
altered. as they are fixed by statute.
Overtures ION behalf of Mr.
Marks have been made on the Hill
but the outlook is dim. The Sen
ate subcommittee which will ham
die the Acc appropriation has ii
members, six of whom voted
against Mr.. Lilienthars conf1rma-
ton. And they include his mortal
enemy and the principal detractor
of Marks-Senator McKellar.
Wide Prediction.
1t was widely predicted when MIR.
Lilienthal wass confirmed that Sen
ator McKellar, soundly trounced in
the confirmation battle, would bide
his time until Acc appropriations
came along. He Is ranking Demo-
crat on the Appropriations Com
mittee.
Senator Hickenlooper says that
ne will not go to bat for Mr.. Marks
on this one. The Iowan, who led
q gallant fight against some Of his
own party leaders to put the con-
firmations across, said he felt the
Acc was wrong in selecting Mr..
Marks as a beneficiary of their
permitted exceptions to the general
rule.
The solicitor general Of the
United States gets $4,000, he said.
80 do the solicitors of the depart
ments. I am prepared to believe
these salaries should be rescaled
under today's conditions, but 1t
ought to be done for all.
"It was not intended that Acc
should pay above scale for admin
istrative Jobs but only for the
technical and scientific specialists
who have unique knowledge Of
atomic energy. I don't believe
their lawyer can claim that"
Senator Hickenlooper made the
point that Mr.. Marks previous
salaries in his Government service
had not been as much as $4,000.
The senator had only kind words
otherwise for the Acc. They were
getting along fine, he said, and de-
spite the alarums raised about Mr..
Lilienthal's scorn of Congress, had
been most cooperative with the
Atomic Energy Committee.
