 Mechanical Chinese troops were reported by pro- government sources today to have broken through Red line around SuchoW, 200 miles northwest of the capital of Nanking.
 The communist victors over Manchuria were trying to forge an enormous trap which would give them Central China. Some Shang- hai accounts said Chiang Kali Shek's troops turned the tables against the communists at Suchow Sunday. The reports lacked con- firmation.
 In the northwest, the commun- ists claimed the capture of Cheng- teh, seat of Jehol province. The fall of Paoting, capital of Hopei province, was reported near.
 An informed source at U. N. ses- 4 siOns in Paris said secretary of State Marshall will answer for President Truman an appeal of secretary general Trygve Lie and assembly president Evatt of the U. N. for a meeting of big four execu- lives to settle the Berlin crisis.
 Lie and Evatt sent letters Satur- day to MT. Truman, Prime Minis ter Stalin of Russia, Prime Minis ter Attlee of Britain and Premier Henri Queuille of France suggest ing talks. They acted under a re- cent Mexican resolution calling on the big powers to settle their diff ferences.
 Secretary of defense Forrestal estimated in Berlin that the Berlin ! airlift is costing U. s. taxpayers $1OO,0OO,00O a year. Since the Rus sians blockaded Berlin in June, the U. s. and Britain have been SUD- plying the western zones by air. The Russians flatly and finally rejected plans for a city wide Ber- lin election Dec 5. They said they would not recognize results nor al- low voting in their sector. There appeared little doubt the commun- ists would have suffered serious f losses.
 U. s. army sources said they are puzzled because Russian deserters have suddenly ceased fleeing to the western zones of Germany. The British said about l2,000 de- serted since 1945. One officer said the Russians probably had moved in new troops. Another said the soldiers were kept practically un- der key at night.

Screen Writer'S Suit
To Be Heard Today
BY the Associoted Press

LOS ANGELES, Dec. Trial Of
the suit of Lester Cole, screen writer,
to get back his $1.350-a-week job
from M-G-M Studios proceeds in
Federal Court today.
A jury of eight women and four
men was accepted yesterday and
opposing attorneys were prepared to
present their opening statements to-
day. Initial testimony follows the
statements.
Cole and nine other Hollywood
writer's, producers and directors were
dismissed by their studios after they
were charged with contempt of Con-
gress. They declined to tell the
House Committee on Un-American
Activities whether they were men,
bers of the Communist Party.
Federal Judge Leon r. Yankwich
ruled out the communism issue in
the present trial, however, saying
he considered the case q simple
breach of contract suit. He also
decided on a jury trial, instead OF
a verdict based only on pleadings
in the case.
If the lawyers have questions con-
cerning communism, Judge Yank-
wich said, he will hear them with
the jury excused, then decide if they
are proper for jury consideration
Cole is represented by Robert w
Kenny, former California attorney
general, who contends that Cole S
dismissal was in restraint of trade"
and, in effect, gag on free speech.
Judge Yankwich personally ques-
toned prospective jurors. He asked
whether they knew members or for
mer members of the House Commit
tee, or had opinions about the right
ness or wrongness of legislative
committees.

Appropriations subcommittee in
charge OF the city budget, does not
plan to begin his hearings until
next month.
An ardent advocate of the two
per cent sales tax proposed by the
Commissioners, Mr.. Horan has ex-
pressed hope the revenue question
will be settled before Congress
passes the budget bill.
Present prospects are that the
two bills, spending and revenues,
probably will come down the line
pretty close together. near the end
of this session.
Mr.. Bates said the joint fiscal
group will not only review the re-
suits Of the 1947 Revenue Act, but
would consider all proposed addi-
tional sources of revenue. The 1947
act increased from $175 to 81 per
500 of value the District realty
and personal property tax rate,
raised water rates and added a tax
on unincorporated businesses in
adopting q franchise tax section
of the District income levy.
Excises to Be Considered.
Proposals of last year which seem
headed for consideration in the
review include the sales tax, in
creased levies on alcoholic beverages
and imposition Of taxes on cigarets,
places of amusement and public
utility bills.
Chairman Bates was moved to
suggest cuts in the spending budget
by looking over some Of last years
finance data which, he said, showed
the District has an improvement
program for the next seven years
of $156 ,000, 900. He said this in
cluded more than $5,500,0 q year
for highway developments and $3,-
100000 a year for expansion Of the
water system.
These he was Inclined to exempt
from budget cutting because Of proof
of needs.
For the Districts general fund
for the next seven years. he said.
the suggested program called for
some $70,000,O00.
The remainder of the suggested
capital outlay program, he said,
consists of anticipated grants of
Federal-aid road funds, Of which
the District share is calculated at
about $21 ,000, 900 for the seven years.
