Chinese Army Lacks
Will 10 Combat Reds,
Foreign Experts Say
BY the Asseeiofsd Press

SHANGHAI, Mar. IL. China

that can do the fighting If she is
TO defeat the Chinese Communists.
This is the consensus of neutral
foreigners and independent Chinese
In comment on proposals for Amer
team military aid. This Is how they
size up the situation.
The Chinese, after years Of in
vasion, internal strife. hunger and
economic upheaval. are tired and
discouraged. Some Chinese say they
don't care who wins; they just want
peace.
Soldiers Poorly Fed.
China's foot soldiers are among
the most neglected in the world.
III fed and poorly clothed, they are
uneducated peasants who do not
see the logic of fighting if-by sur
render or retreat-they can live an
other day.
giving them more and better rifles
and grenades will not win battles,
In the opinion of neutral military
men. The soldiers need first food
and clothing, and then training by
capable instructors.
After that they need a will to
fight which now is almost complete
ly lacking.
All this will take time and money.
Unless there is program to bolster
both the civilian and military
aspects of the situation, aid to China
will be fruitless.
Civilian Morale Apathetic.
The Chinese appear apathetic to
attempts to drum up a fighting
spirit against the Communists, who
now hold all OF Manchuria except
Its major cities.
Even If civilian morale is raised,
there will be the equally knotty
problem of shaking up the armies.
There are many generals who fail
to understand modern military
techniques.
In Marking, Vice President Sun
Fo said in an interview he consid-
cred high level advice an essential
part of any United States military
assistance to China.
II am not meaning to criticize
our military commanders. but 1t is
a fact most Of our generals lack
modern training and practice" he
said. .
Hanging over the entire military
framework is the shadow of cor
rupt system which goes back 100
years. This is the squeeze" an
other term for stealing. 1t has made
many of China's generals rich.

MIR. Truman told his news confer
ence he won't send any bills to the
Capitol to carry out his 10-point
civil rights program which caused
the Southern revolt.
It is up to Congress to write It's

But most Of the Southern Demo-

Of their number on an "unsatisfac-
tory" meeting with Democratic Ma
tional Chairman McGrath on the
civil rights issue.
Senator McGrath said, among
other things, that the party couldn't
agree to withdraw the Presidents
program.
Despite this attitude, Senator Hill
took the lead In urging Southerners
TO try for compromise within the
Democratic ranks.
1.-THE Democratic Party in the past

Democratic National Convention,
Senator Hill told an Alabama radio

Senator Hill, running as a pro-
Truman candidate for delegate to
the Philadelphia convention, said
that If the South leaves the party

Senator Hills plea for 4 compromise
"We should make every effort to
iron out our differences within the
party before We take any drastic
steps," he told q reporter. 1.-THE
South viii be missing an opportu-
nifty II it doesn't take this chance
to bargain with the party"
Still q third Alabaman, Mrs. Len
nard Thomas, national committee
woman, also declared that I'VE must
stand together as Democrats.
The main reason. she said In an
interview, Is that "the Republican
Party Is just dying for US to bust
up"
But, she added, a solid stand also
will add weight to the Southern
contention that there are "other
people we can nominate"
Mcclellan Agrees.
Senator Mcclellan, Democrat, of
Arkansas, who has predicted Mr.
Truman's defeat In November, said
he too agrees with the idea Of trying
to iron out the differences in the
party-up to point.
1--WE will have q better chance Of
getting what we are after If we pre-
pare for any eventuality," he told
reporter. IF we can convince the
Northern leaders of the party that
we mean business, we. may have q
chance to stop these racial meas
ures."
Senator Maybank, Democrat, Of
South Carolina said that failure OF
Congress to pass any civil rights bills
might cool the revolt But he said
he thinks the Republicans can't af-
ford any such failure.
COP May Discuss Issue.
COP leaders may discuss the sit
uation at a Senate Policy Commit
tee meeting later today.
Senator McGrath told the Demo-
cratic Executive Committee at the
opening of its two-day meeting
yesterday that the party is under
vicious attack and must strike back
hard. He said critics have conferred
on MIR. Truman and have a super
effort under way to discourage
Democrats"
