Cavite.
There was no word of casualties

The reports of damage ran into
untold millions, with most of the

Second List Of Traders
includes No Officials
Among 1,240 Names
Section Due Next Week
Expected to Reveal
II Job Holders

Officials of the Agriculture De-
partment said today they hope
to include in their next public
listing of commodity traders the
names of II Federal, State and
local jobholders who have been
speculating in wheat. It may
be ready next week.
A new list of 1,240 persons active
in wheat futures in Chicago on April
80, 1916, was made available last
night, but, like the I'll names given
out earlier in the week, it provided
no sensation for congressional in
vestigators.
Out of the total of 1851 names, the
only one recognized as a Govern
ment official has been Edwin w
Pauley, special assistant to the Sec
retary Of the Army, who already had
disclosed his trading activities at
a hearing of the Senate Appropria-
tions Committee.
No Officials on List.
Mr.. Pauley said he had something
less than million dollars in COM
modities when he took the Gov
ernment job but was disposing Of
his holdings, as he had agreed to do.
Mr.. Pauley's name was on a list
of big traders as of October 81,
1916, and October l, 1947, which
was made public Monday. Report
ers scanning last nights tabulation
of names for Government officials
drew blank.
In releasing the lists, Agriculture
Department officials had hoped to
follow chronological order for each
commodity surveyed. Under this
plan the next list would be names
of small traders in wheat on the
Chicago market on October %, 1916.
However, the tabulation said to
include the II public jobholders is
part of the list of all traders in
wheat on the Chicago market on
September II, 1947. J. M. Mehl, the
Commodity Exchange administra-
tor. said he would try to have this
ready about the middle of next
week.
Meanwhile Secretary of Agricul-
ture Anderson acted to determine
whether any additional public off,
cials traded in commodity futures
between January /, 1946, and De-
cember IS, 1947.
Data Sought by January 10.
He called on all brokerage firms
to supply him under oath with
names of any Government officials
Federal, State or local, including
members of school boards-or men,
bers of their immediate families
who have traded in futures during
this period.
The brokers are required to supply
the information not later than jan
uary 10.
Wheat Was Under Price Control.
The second list of traders was
taken from books of brokers at a
time when speculative activity in
grains was much less pronounced
than it has been during the past
several months. At that time wheat
was still under wartime price con-
troll and world supplies Of grain
particularly prospective supplies
were more plentiful than during the

Reports From North
Indicate Reverses
For NotionuIists
BY the Assoeiofed Press

NANKING, Dec. 27.-General-
issimo Chang Kai-shek issued a
personal order today banning
disclosure of military news by
government officials as reports
from the north indicated the
Nationalist position in Man.
churia was steadily Worsening.
Gen. Chiang's order, informants
said, forbade the disclosure of any
military information to the press or
public. 1t was reported that high
authorities several times had dis
closed highly secret military per-
sonnel transfers and other war
secrets.
Gen. Chang ordered severe pun
ishment for violators.
Even pro-government sources &C
knoWledged that the Communists
were gaining ground in the West
Liaoning area where fighting has
been the heaviest.
The official Central News Agency
said the government had regained
control of key points within 35-
mile arc around Mukden, but from
other sources the Associated Press
learned that Red demolition squads
operating within the defense area
had blown up a railroad bridge only
seven miles north of the city and
had tossed grenades into govern
ment installations just outside the
city limits.
The food problem in Mukden, cut
off from the south by Communist
blockades of the Peiping -Mukden
railway, was reported becoming in
creasingly acute.
Chinese dispatches from Mukden
to Peiping, presumably passed by
military censors in the beleaguered
city, reported the Communists were
continuing their attacks against the
outer defenses but that despite the
bitter cold, the government troops of
Gen. Chang Chun started counter
attacking.
The Red forces were reported still
exerting pressure at Changwu, COM
munications center 80 miles north
west of Mukden; Faku, highway
center As miles north, and the rail
junction point of Hsinlitun, 10 miles
to the west.
The dispatches also reported at
tacks on Nationalist concentrations
along the Peiping- -Mukdun railroad
between Chinhsien and Sinnin
north of the Great Wall. The ar
rival of reinforcements which
reached the city by forced marches
was reported to have strengthened
the garrisons of Mukdun proper.
Fuel shortage in Mukden is fore
ing residents to chop down trees
lining the streets, the reports said.
