Clash Below Suchow
|mpends, May Be
Showdown in China
BY the Associated Press

| NANKING, Dec. 4.-Omcial atten-
ton riveted today on an impending
collision south Of Suchow by major
Communist and Nationalist forces
which may determine the immediate
future of the Chinese government.
Chinese official circles displayed
considerable optimism that head
on clash would at least temporarily
stabilize the situation. Well informed
foreign military quarters expressed
belief that even partial success
would give the government go to 90
days respite.
Arrival of $4,000 reinforcements in
Nanking from Hankow was another
cause for easing the recent gloom OF
Chinese officials. This brought to
some 75000 the number of electives
holding the Yangtze River defenses
before the capital.
Reds Moving Troops.
Red Gen. Chen VI was reported
moving an estimated 125,000 troops
into position to block the southwark
march of three government army
groups that evacuated Suchow We'd
nesday.
Three Communist columns, OF
about $4,000 men. already were re-
ported engaging the government
groups about 80 miles south OF
Suchow.
(The Communists broadcast
that this action was only 10
miles south Of Suchow, and that
the government forces had fed
westward after suffering thou
sands Of casualties without gain
ing an inch.)
Five Of Chen Yi's columns broke
of their offensive on the Hwat
River line some 100 miles north
west of Nanking and were march,
ing about 10 miles north to REIN
force the three Communist columns
already there.
Two other Communist columns
were reported moving south from
east of Suchow to put pincers on
the government forces.
Must Break Out Of Ring.
The former Suchow garrison, with
some 10000 effective combat troops
among its 250,000 men, was reported
attacking toward the south. The
10th Army Group was on the west
flank, the Second Army Group on
the east, with the 18th Army Group
holding the rear guard.
The 10000 troops on the Hwai
River line already had been given
a breather by the Communist shift
northward.
Government hopes for a smashing
victory, however, rested mainly on
whether the 18th Army Group could
break out of an eight-day-old Com
munist encirclement 130 miles
northwest of Marking.
Foreign military quarters had
suspected some sort of surrender
deal might be pending there, but
latest reports said the Communists
had begun to fire artillery into the
circle and to attack the perimeter
by night.
(The Communist radio, esti-
mating the trapped force at 140.-
900 men, said it was in circle
only miles in diameter and
again urged Gen. Huang Wei to
surrender or be destroyed.
(The Communists claimed that
one division had surrendered
! earlier and had been given good

 WORLD TRIP; TO
 GO TO N0RTHWAY

FAIRBANKS, Alaska, July 20 LR .-T-5 Jim Shain doesn't want to go around the world.
 Instead, he's going to North way. an isolated camp near the Yukon Alaska border where the hunting and fishing are good. His wife, Maxine, of Sikeston, Missouri, will go with him.
 The 19-year- Alaska Communi- cations System Radio Technician made up his mind today to accept check for s4,000 instead of the flying trip around the world for himself and Mrs. Shain which he won as a grand prize in the Fair banks American Legion-sponsored Fourth of July celebration.
 The young soldier said his con- manding officer had agreed tc grant him a 30-day furlough for the world tour. He also promised family quarters for the young couple il Shain would transfer to Northway.

 The British Press Association, re- porting the jets would be landed on the River Clyde from the Sic fly, said the jets made up the 36th Fighter Wing of the U. s. Ali Force, and had been stationed in Panama
 The report came cnly a few days after 60 American Superfortresses arrived at Royal Air Force bases here on what has been described officially as a training mission.

Truman Issues Draft Registration Call
Warne Urges Settlement
 Of Indian Claims Before
 More Development Results

SILVER BAY, N. Y, July 2O.-- William E. Warne, Assistant Secretary of Interior. urged last night that Alaska Native claims be negotiated now rather than af- ter the Territory's development be- comes more complex.
 Warne said that in the United States proper settlement of h. dian claims may cost the govern ment many millions of dollars, an expense which could have been avoided if the future economy of the Indian had been protected properly
 In a pseech prepared for the Inter -Denominational Conference on the Christian World Mission, Warne said:
 "The Interior Department and the Bureau of Indian Affairs are well aware of previous mistakes and are making every effort to see that the natives of Alaska re- ceive the consideration that is es- sential to providing them with an adequate life for the future, a se- cure land base for their livelihood.
 This is not a simple matter, since there are those who consider native lands and resources as fair prey.
 We must exercise diligence lest they succeed in short-changing the natives in Alaska.
 T propose that we negotiate with the natives now and provide for them while we are still pre- pairing for the influx of new set tiers who otherwise cannot but ig- nore the needs of the aborigines.
 Through this method we can eliminate the clouds on the title to lands not needed by the natives, and this, of course, is about 90 or 95 percent of it."
 Warne said Alaska, a land of Great resources and few people, is a real American frontier. He said the United States has learned from experience in the settlement of new lands, and is granting homesteads on a more scientific and realistic basis than before.
 Public land in Alaska and else where is classified as to whether it IS suitable for farming--before being opened to homesteading.
 Furthermore, pains are taken to keep the land out Of the hands of spectators, and qualifications oi potential homesteaders are exam ined before any land is given them

 CT Is Experienced
By GEORGE MEYERS Fairbanks News Miner)

FAIRBANKS, Alaska, July 20.- tR-Three University of Alaska students claimed today to have conquered North Americas high est peak-22 ,270-foot Mount Me- Kinley.
 One of the climbers, 25-year- old Walter Gonnason of Carnation, Wash, informed the Fairbanks News-miner by telephone that the trio reached the summit at l D. m., July 13, after a 25-day climb.
 With him were Charles Pieper, 25, of Deerfield, H., and John Mccall, 25, of Eapin, Colo.
 Two companions-Philip Spauld- ing, 25. of Vermont, and Ed Hui ger, "A, of Maine-Were unable to continue past the 18.000-foot eleva- ton, he said. They remained in camp during the one-day assault on the top.
 Gonnason said the party had i cnly five days of good weather during the climb over the route blazed year ago by cosmic ray research expedition led by Bradford Washburn, nationally known noun tain climber. They passed the time playing bridge, he said.
 Winds of 90 miles an hour were encountered at the 15,000-foot level. At the summit, the party 1, recorded a temperature of 20 de- grees below and a 40-mile- -an-hour southwest wind.
 The climbers lost an average of Is pounds each while carrying &C., pound packs over glaciers and up the treacherous slopes.
 The party is the second group of University of Alaska students to top the mountain which the Alaska Indians call "Denali' = Home of the Sun.
 Three former mountain infantry men made the 84-mile round-trip last summer from Wonder Lake to the summit and return in IT days fastest ascent on record.
