Problems Concerning
China, Berlin Blockade
Under Consideration
CBy The Associated Press.

President Truman and Secretary
'of State Marshall tackle today q
world full of problems. one OF the
foremost of which is China.
Independent dispatches indicated
Chinese Communists are again
threatening the east flank of Su-
chow, the guardian base for the
capital of Marking. Chinese OBJ
servers said the Government APP
parently did not follow up its sue
cesses of last week. Martial law was
declared at Peiping for five northern
provinces.
Mrs. Chang Kai-shek appealed
ty radio for immediate and definite
American aid, saying IF China falls,
all Of Asia goes" The Communist
radio told the u S. to keep out and
that aiding Chang would be IAN act
of hostility"
Before the Truman Marshall con-
ference is request from Chang
that the United States in effect take
over the running of the Chinese war
against the Communists through
American military adj vi sors and
through enormously increased help
to the Chinese armies.
BERLIN TROUBLE, TOO
Berlin, of course. is high on the
agenda. 1t is the hottest spot In
the cold war in Europe and appears
certain to remain that way long
time, since all mediation efforts have
failed. The neutral nations on the
U. N. Security Council began a new
try for a compromise.
President H. v. Eyatt of the U.
N. Assembly asserted there are rea-
sonable prospects for a Berlin set
tlement in three weeks. Western Of
ficials in Berlin felt otherwise. They
said the Berlin Blockade was i'm
posed to drive the western powers
from the city and to stop western
plans for western German state.
The airlift which is costing the
U. S. Treasury 100000 year,
was harassed again by fog.
U. S. intelligence sources said
Marshal Konstantin Rokossovsky
chief of Russias western armies, has
moved headquarters west from East
Prussia to Fuerstenberg in Meek
len5urg province. The anti-com-
munist newspaper Montag's Echo,
said Russian occupation forces in
Germany have been increased, but
western sources have discounted
these reports.

TWO WORLD
filters ARE.
DOWN, CRASH.

FAIRBANKS, Alaska, Nov. 22.--
tR--An old bush pilot trick paid
off for Mrs. Richarda Morrow
TAFT and her navigator, Michael
Townsend, yesterday when they
made a crash landing uninjured,
200 miles southeast of here.
The trick is to follow highway
just in case there might be the
need OF an emergency landing.
The young British aviatrix had
been experiencing engine trouble
tor several days prior to her take
off yesterday from Anchorage on
another leg of her round the-world
flight.
So she followed the Glenn High
way, which heads northeast to a
junction with the Alaska Highway
Her plane crashed near the road
80 miles southwest of Tok juno
ton in 3O-below zero weather.
The ATT, a two-engined Beech
craft which was accompanying
her on a planned hop to North
way near the Canada Alaska line
flew to Tanacross, about 20 miles
northwest of Tok and reported the
lnishap.
The Alaska Highway Patrol sent
a truck down the road, picked
UP the filters who had been walk
ing around the plane and took
them to Tanacross.
Weather permitting, the Beech
craft will take the couple back to
Anchorage today, or it may go to
Fairbanks if the weather is favor
able in that direction.
Today is Mrs. Morrow Tait's 25th
birthday. Several days ago she
said she hoped to be in Montreal
to celebrate it.
Witnesses said the right wing
and landing gear of the second
hand Royal Air Force plane were
damaged
