 Mime. Chiang Kai-Shek was fly ing to Washington for a new at tempt to get the United States to underWrite China's war, which some observers feel her husband has blotched. The state depart ment so far has shown a hands off attitude about her trip and indica- tions were that little sympa hy would be shown the mission.
 The basic view of American au- thorities is that Chiang is respon- sible for his own failure. This view has it that his defeats have not been due to lack of American material or military advice but re- suited from Chiang's failure to lib- eralize his government and pro- vide leadership which would in- spire confidence.
 Responsible sources nj Washing ton said the U. $. wishes to avoid any word or action which might embarrass the Chiang regime and they are hopeful some way may be found to prevent communist con- quest of all China. Administration leaders, however, appeared 10 have lost all confidence in Chiang's ability to reorganize his military and political strength so as to halt and eventually reverse the communist tide.

GAP NeWSfeatureS)

JOHANNESBURG - Evidence that man walked upright about million years ago has been provid- ed by the back of a skull found in a quarry at Makapansgat near Pot gietersrust in the northern Trans val.
 The skull was discovered by James Kitching of WitWatersrand University. It is declared to be more than an apelike cousin of man.
 Tt actually is mankind in the making "7says Kitching.
 Although the oldest and most primitive of all known species, the possessor of this skull is said to have been more like modern man in his posture than either of the apemen of Java or Peking.
 Prof. Raymond Dart, discoverer of the famous Taung's skull, says exceptional interest in this new discovery is centered on it's dis proving all previous theories that man at that stage stopped like a gorilla. Remains of ashes and burned bones indicate this man knew fire.
 Prof. Dart has named his Aus tralopithecus PrometheuS. T h s means southern man who stole fire.

hailed everywhere as a signifi-
cant step toward full citizen

was stated in the opinion: 1--WE
hold that in granting judicial

agreemetS in the cases arising in
st. Louis, Mo, Detroit, Mich,

have denied petitioners the equal
protection of the law and that
the action of the State courts
cannot stand :. we have noted
that freedom from diScrimina-
ton by the states in the enjoy
ment of property rights was
among the basic detectives
sought to be effectuated by the
18th Amendment. That such dis
elimination has occurred in these
cases is clear. Because of the race
or color Of these petitioners they
have been denied rights Of own
erShip or occupancy enjoyed as
a matter of course by other citi-
zens Of a different race or color
The 14th Amendment declares
that all persons, whether colored
or white shall stand equal before
the laws of The state, and, in re-
gard to the colored race, for
whose protection the amendment
was primarily designed, that no
discrimination shall be made by
law because of their color"
