Wainwright Appeals
For Aid 10 China as
$4,000 Drive Opens

An appeal for Americans "to stave
of the consequences of impending
disaster" In China by contributing
to Chinese relief was made last night
by Gen. Jonathan M. Wainwright,
hero OF Bataan, in a speech at the
dinner opening the campaign OF
United Services to China.
Goal Of the campaign. which was
launched at the Mayflower Hotel
is $4,000 in the Washington area
The drive Is part of a Nation wide
progra INTO raise $4,000, 900 to help
China through Observation-Disclosures
projects for education, medical aid
child welfare and reconstruction.
Terming the drive a mission OF
necessity" Gen. Wainwright told OF
the important contributions the
Chinese made during the war when
under great difficulties of distance
and inferior equipment, their mill
tary aggressfveness forced the Japa-
nese to divert many divisions from
other important fronts.
Recurrent Famines.
Most pressing Of China's critical
needs involve education, sanitation
and communication rehabilitation
and specific failings in these fields
are the cause Of recurrent famine,
a high death rate and low stand
ard of living, Gen. Wainwright as
serted.
Gen. Wainwright, who is Texas
State chairman of United Services
to China, was introduced by Gen.
A. A. vandegrift. Marine Corps
commandant. Gen. Vandegrift is
vice chairman of the Washington
committee.
Donald r. Richberg, Washington
chairman, emphasized that this
campaign "is not drive to raise
funds to provide direct charitable
relief"
Would Train People.
"Our objective :. is to provide
and train a large amount of human
assistance that is urgently needed
to help the Chinese people help
themselves" he explained. "To edu-
cate more doctors and nurses, to
train people to fight epidemics, to
improve hospital facilities - such
services, spreading, growing and re-
generating, multiply the value of
the original expenditure a hundred
times. In this way, a few thousand
dollars can be used by a few men
to relieve the strains and pains of
a multitude"
Nelson r. Johnson, former Am
bassador to China and Australia,
spoke of the Chinese schools that
were destroyed in war and of their
efforts to re-establishe themselves.
Here we give to you," he told the
audience. "the opportunity to help
train the leadership so necessary
now"
Mrs. Frederick H. Brooks is Sec
retary and Wilmer j. Waller is
treasurer of the campaign. It's head
quarters are at 1720 I street NV.
DR.. v. X. Wellington Koo, the
Chinese Ambassador and Nine. Koo,

Committee Okays Income Tax Bill

WASHINGTON, R)-The Sem ate finance committee approved the $4,OOO,OO0,OO0 income tax cut bill today in 43 minutes.
 The vote was 10 to 3, with only Democratic Senators Barkley KyJ, Lucas Qll0, and Connally CTexD opposing the reduction which would go into effect next Jan. 1.
 Chairman Millilkin R.-Colo) whipped the bill through his com mittee without the formality of hearings. The legislation, approv- ed by a Whopping BOP to l12 mar gin in the House yesterday, is identical with the original tax re- duction measure vetoed by Presi- dent Truman, except that the ef- fective date is moved up from July l, 1947, to Jan. l, l948.
 The committee went into closed session at 9:15 am. and reached it's decision at 9:57.
 Before the deciding vote, the committee rejected, also 10 to 3, substitute bill proposed by Sena- tor Lucas D.-Ill0.
 The Republican schedule for Senate action gives the tax mea- sure right-of-way for considera- ton as soon as the army-navy uni fication bill is disposed of-possi- bly, tomorrow.

Coal Agreement Signed; No
 National Tie-Up

Continued from Page One) the wage agreement - completed last night-had been formally signed.
 AS soon as the various operators signed, NMW headquarters sent out the signal for the back to work move in those operators mines.
 Still to accept the pact are the southern operators, who refused to participate in industry-wide ne gotiations, and scattered operators in the midwest and west. Com bined, they represent slightly more than 40 per cent of total soft coal production.
 Lewis said the pact would be interesting" because it is the first negotiated since passage of what he scathingly described as the "Taft slave law" a reference to the Taft-Hartley bill putting new restrictions on unions."
 Discussing that law, Lewis ac- cused the Republican part of "sell- ing out to finance and industry for contributions to the 1946 Con- gressional campaign which gave ;+ ,o,tro1 of Cororocc
 "One thing about a Republican Congress- Lewis said, "they stay bought"

Greeks Arrest , Many And Nip
 Red Revolution

ATHENS, (P)-The Greek gov ernment announced that more than 2,000 persons were arrested in the Athens area early today in raids aimed at stamping out a Communist plot to stage revolu- ton and spread civil war through out the entire country.
 Minister of public order Napo- leon Zervas said the zero hour for the Communist stroke was to have been around 1 am. tomorrow, when attacks were to have been staged simultaneously in all parts of Greece, bringing the present mountain guerrilla warfare into urban centers.
 Between 5000 and 4,000 police, gendarmes and soldiers staged the lightning raids before dawn this morning, Zervas said. He added that many important Communists already had fled and either were in hiding in Athens or in the mountains.
 Most of those arrested, he said, will be taken to islands near Ath- ems, while the investigation con- tinues.
 The transport already has be- gun. Some ringleaders, Zervas added, will remain in Athens to await hearings. Those not impli- cated in the plot will be released and others probably will be ex- fled, officials said.
 A leftist leader who escaped ar rest in the first raids declared:
 They're making cle a n sweep"

SPORTS
 ROUNDUP
tBy Hugh Fullerton. Jr.)

NEW YORK, (P) - Joe Louis, who usually manages to say the right thing, seems to have skidded in his knowledge of mathematics or human nature when he figured the public wouldn't pay 75 cents to see him fight Sweden's Ole Tandberg. . Joe isn't old enough to remember when they imported Frances orchid man. Georges Carpenter, to fight Jack Demp- sey. Gorgeous Georges was better known by reputation than Tandberg is, but as an opponent for Dempsey he was so weak that they made him do his training in secret. Nevertheless, that 1921 fight at Jersey City drew boxing's first million. dollar gate. The pub lie paid $1,789,238 and promoter Tex Rickard almost threw a fit for fear the bout would end so quickly the customers would start a riot. |. .. Tandberg, according to available records here, has fought most of Europe's good heavy weights in the past seven years with record of 16 victories (8 by knockouts) four losses and a draw.
 In addition to big Barney Poole, back from West Point with a few years of eligibility left, the U. of Mississippi football squad next fall will include three of his cou- sins, Phillip, first-team guard; Jackie, sophomore end, and Les lie, freshman tackle. Leslie is the eighth member of the Poole clan to enroll at ole Miss. Would you call that Poole-ing re- sources or vice versa?
