The Navy is undermining the
sailors seabag for the age of jet
power and the atom bomb.
The seabag, combination clothes
hamper, storeroom and collapsible
suitcase. has become a little old
fashioned.
Today's sailor no longer carries
his bed on his back whenever he
goes because all ships have folding
steel hunks, the Navy explained.
Seabags were designed for tying
to that bed roll.
The new models have handles on
them and pocket for toothpaste.
-Four designs are being tried out
by enlisted men travelling across

Sailors, who long have cursed

Chinese Reds Lashinq
AT Nationalist Supply.
Communication Lines
BY the Associofed Press

NANKING, Oct. 3.-Chinese
Communists concentrated today
on a wide program of smashing
government lines Of supply and
communications prelude to
what is expected generally to
become a showdown battle for
vast and vital Manchuria.
Military observers, charting the
moves of Red raiders from the
Yangtze north to Manchuria S
Sungari River, noted these attacks
on government communications dur
ing the past few days:
In Manchuria, a new threat to
the port of ~Yingkow, major Nation
alist supply base on the gulf of
o-Tung. Earlier, government
dispatches to Peiping reported the
Chinese Navy was shelling Com
munist positions around the gov
ernment port of Hulutao, on the
gulf southwest of Yingkow.)
Reds Cut Rail Line.
Along the Peiping- -Mukden rail-
road-main route for reinforcement
of Gen. Chen Cheng's Nationalist
forces in Manchuria-bands of
Communists had cut the line mid
way between Mukden and the Great
Wall.
Below Suchow near Suhsien
raiders under Gen. Chen vi drove
across the Pukow-T -Tientsin railroad
to snap the only rail link between
the nations capital and North China
war zones. Unconflrmed field re-
ports from this Central China sector
said small group of Communists
had dynamited the important steel
railroad bridge across the Yellow
River at Pengpu, midway between
Marking and SuchoW.
Elsewhere in Central China, Com
muniSt raids continued. Red troops
were striking at the Lunghai Rail
road, China's most important east
west route.
Increasing pressure against the
Manchurian port of Yingkow and
disruption of the Mukden- Peiping
railway service apparently were in
tended to interrupt the transfer OF
Gen. Chang Kai-shek's victorious
Shantung peninsula armies north
ward to reinforce Gen. Chens
troops.
Chefoo Being Cleared.
From Tsingtao, the pro-govern-
ment Central News Agency said the
first Chinese warship entered the

On More Than 100
Rent Rise Requests

The District Rent Control Ad-

three apartment houses for increases
in rents for more than 100 apart

At the same time the Washington

cised District Rent Control Admin
strator Robert F. Dogswell on the
ground that a recent order per-
mittting rent increases in one-to-
eight-family dwellings to compen-
safe for increased taxes and water
rates was completely unwarranted.
"It is curious commentary on
the thinking of officials charged
with curbing the ruinious imitation
we are now experiencing" asserted
Henry c. Beitscher, council presi-
dent, that the solution is more
imitation"

the board of Karl F. Brodt. He
asks that rents now ranging be-
tween $3.50 and S45 be raised to
a range of IS to $50.
Donald Petit, owner of Mont
gomery Apartments, 1151 North
Capitol street, requested increases
for 80 units, which would change a
schedule varying from $3.50 to
$3.50, to one ranging from $40 to
$3.50.

creases for "a units at the Chalon
Apartments, 414 Seward Square
Sc, raising present rates-$4O to

Tenants Views Sought.
Mr.. Beitscher said the Industrial
Union Council now is particularly
interested in boosting formation of
tenant organizations to express
tenant viewpoints before the rent
administrator when questions of
rent rises occur. 49,
THE consumer" he said, has
been deluged with advice to exer-
else self-restraint as a means of

Decision Is Still in Air
On Publishing Names
OF Subversive Groups
By Joseph Young

The decision as to whether the
Attorney Generals designated list
OF subversive organizations to be
used in the Federal loyalty investi-
cations are to be made public was
still up In the air today.
Justice Department spokesmen
said no decision had been reached.
On the other hand, Civil Service
Commission officials said they see
mo reason why the list shouldn't be
made public"
Justice officials said the final de-
cision will depend on the attitude
of the yet-to-be appointed Federal
loyalty board. The board will ope-
rate under the jurisdiction of the
Civil Service Commission.
Important to Inquiry.
1--WE want to see what the board S
attitude is regarding the list" a
Justice official said.
The list of designated subversive
organizations is of extreme impor-
tance in the loyalty inquiry since
any disloyalty of Government en-
plOyCS WILL OcptllO W d large GX-
tent on whether they are members
or affiliated with these organiza-
tions.
Lawrence v! Meloy, chief of the
commissions loyalty program, said
he is in favor of making the list
public.
"Only Proper and Just"
1T is only proper and just that
the names of these groups be made
public Mr.. Meloy said.
Commission officials believe keep
ing secret the names of the SUBJ
versive groups will react unfairly
against Federal employees, who, they
contend, deserve to know just what
groups are considered disloyal to the
Government.
Meanwhile, commission officials
said the loyalty board, which will
set the standards and procedures for
the loyalty inquiry, will be appointed
soon. There has been some congress
sional criticism of the delay in COM
pleting the boards setup, since the
group will play the most important
part in the toyalty program.
