A strong anti Communist
China is the only hope of pre-
serving world peace, Maj. Gen
Claire Chennault told the House
Foreign Affairs Committee to-
day as he urged that the United
States give military aid to China
to help stop Russian aggres-
sion" in Europe.
China has almost reached the
end of her resources, Gen. Chen
nault said.
The weather. beaten soldier, who
began helping China organize an all
force long before World War II
started, said it is his firm belief the
Communists will not attack in the
West until they have secured theil
Eastern front by taking over China
For that reason, he concluded:
China is the key to world peace
or to victory if third World Wal
is precipated by accident or design.
At 81, Gen. Chennault is retired
from the Army and heads a com.
merclal aviation concern in China
He flew here to testify at the COM
mittees hearings on the admin.
STATIONS request that Congress vote
$50 100000 for aid to China.
Gen. Chennault's 25-year-old
Chinese wife accompanied him te
the hearing.
Sees 2 Billion as Needs.
If the United States has to make
choice between economic and mill.
tary aid To China now, Gen
Chennault said, military aid is the
most urgent.
China probably will need $780,.
000, 900 to $4,000, 900 900 of American
aid over three-year period, Gen
Chennault said. The pending esti.
mate is $50, 100000 for the coming
year
Gen. Chennault pointed out thai
in China the democracies woule
have bombing bases so per cent
closer to Russian industrial targets
in the Ural Mountains than the dis.
tance from bases in North Africa.
Representative Fulton, Republican
of Pennsylvania remarked that Sec.
retary of State Marshall went tt
China to induce Chang Kai-sheh
to take Communist representation
into the Nationalist government
The Pennsylvania then asked Gen
Chennault if that would not follow
the same pattern of Russian expan.
sion into Czechoslovakia.
1T would have that result" the
witness replied.
rs it possible to compromise with
communism in China?" Mr.. Fultor
| continued.
Only by giving the Communis
100 per cent of what they desire,
Gen. Chennault answered.
ERP Passage Pushed.
AS the general spoke, Congress
sionnal hackers of administration
foreign policy were striving, how
ever, to rush through the European
Recovery Program separately, il
time to stiffen Italy against Com
nlunist victory in that country
April 18 election.
While Senate leaders pressed TO
passage of ERP by early next week
Chairman Eaton of the House For
eign Affairs Committee fixed Apri
10 as a target date for House ap
proval.
To meet this goal it would b
almost essential that the House com
mittee act on ERP first, instead O
carrying out a tentative plan t.
bundle Greek Turkish and Chimes
aid in with the European bill.
Peace definitely Threatened"

mander OF the Flying Tigers

PRAGUE, Mar. 10.-Jan G.
Masaryk, 81, nonparty Foreign
Minister in the new Communist
government, killed himself today
in a leap from his third floor
Office, the government an
nounced.
Mr.. Masaryk was the son OF
Thomas Masaryk, founder and first
President of the republic. His
death took from the Communists
the use of the distinguished name
The controlled radio said Mr.
Masaryk must have been seriously
aggrieyed and wounded by the ma
licious, tendentious attacks made on
him by the western press"
tThe British Foreign Office said
Mr.. Masaryk was driven to sui
eide by Communist betrayal of
Czechoslovakia)
Offlcials of the Foreign Ministry
after a period of reluctance to con-
firm the report, finally announced
Mr.. Masaryk had died at am
The government broadcast at noon
offlcially announced the death. 1t
followed the announcement with
the solemn requiem music of Anton
Dvorak, the great Czech composer
The government delayed without
explanation foreign news agency
telegraph circuits for 80 minutes.
Vaclav Nosek, Minister of In
terror, told the purged Parliament
Mr.. Masaryk hurled himself from
his bathroom window. He said the
Foreign Minister had spent the
night reading letters and kilograms
from England and the United
States attacking him for continu-
ing in the Communist government.
Numerous cigarette stubs were
found on the desk, Nosek said.
All the new cabinet attended the
session. A wreath of roses and
lilies lay on the bench where Mr.
Masaryk would have sat.
Premier Element Gottwald spoke
for almost an hour. but made no
mention of the dead Minister, whose
seat was two places from his own.
The Premier described the new
Communist program and asked a
vote Of confidence.
Last Appearance Sunday.
Mr.. Masaryk last appeared pub
licly Sunday. He looked harassed
haggard and worried.
The controlled press had quotec
him as telling Czechoslovak army
officers last Thursday:
You can count on me. am ont
of YOU. We must have unity
with the Soviet Union. Our place
is at their side. We must be exate
full If Russia allows us to be there
We made bloodless revolution ant
have entered a new phase of his
tory"
Even while Mr.. Masaryk's bod,
was borne from the courtyard wher'
he fell, DR.. Prokop Drtina, whit
was Minister of Justice in th'
previous cabinet with him, wa
convalescing from head injurie
sustained in what police said was 1
three story plunge from his villa.
Czechoslovaks gathered in LITTLE
knots discussing Mr.. Masaryki
death. 1t was shock to those wht
regarded him as possible balance
wheel for the country. 1t was 6
blow also to those who believed HI
might be helpful in getting then
out of the closely-guarded country
legally. Mr.. Masaryk once helped
5000 Jews escape from German
occupation forces.
Government Cites Illness.
The government announcement
said Mr.. Masaryk had suffered ar
illness, coupled with inflrmity, ane

of nervous disturbance. he jumpee

Soviet Demands End
OF Bi-zonaI Mercer
lin Western Germany
BY the Assoeiotsd Press

BERLIN, Jan. 21.-Russia has for
mally demanded dissolution Of the
joint British-American economic ad-
|ministration of the two western zones
in the Allied Control Council, de-
claring the arrangement violated
Potsdam agreements.
Marshal vassily Sokolovsky, Soviet
military governor, presented the
Russian view yesterday. He spoke
after Gen. Lucius D. Clay Of the
United States outlined measures
taken recently by the American and
British military governments to ex-
pand and improve economic admin
istration in Western Germany, beset
anew by hunger strikes and threats
Of strikes. n
The Russian denunciation meant
that Eastern and Western Germany
will continue along their separate
ways for some time to come. Whether
the two parts Of the country will
have, different ctlrrencies was still
uncertain.
Currency Agreement Asked.
Gen. Clay again asked for four
power agreement on issuance of q
new mark to be printed In Berlin
under four power supervision. The
Russians answer was not given, but
the Russians have been insisting
all along that they have the right
to print half the currency in their
own zone under their own supervi-
sion. The Americans and British
fear such an arrangement would
permit their zones to be flooded
with Soviet-printed currency.
Although the Soviet-inf1uenced
papers Of Berlin have been limiting
for weeks that Britain and the
United States should give up their
occupation Of Berlin because Of the
formation of the bi-zonal area, Mar
shall Sokolovsky voiced no such de-
mand yesterday.
Referring to statement by Gen.
Clay 10 days ago when the bi-zonal
economic council was given new
responsibilities, Marshal Sokolovsky
said, I'VE consider this shows that
the United States and Great Britain
are taking further steps In the split
ting Of Germany and the establish
ing Of q separate western state"
Potsdam Violation Charged.
He said the bi-zonal agencies
actually have been rendered all
the authority Of federative state"
and added:
'The Soviet command insists on
the disbandment of this organiza-
ton which splits Germany and
violates the Potsdam agreement
and the four-power machinery"
Gen. Clay quickly declared that
II Marshal Sokolovsky had studied
all details of the bi-zonal setup he
would find that his statement is
not fully valid" and said the Amer
ican position on economic affairs
In Germany was made clear by
Secretary of State Marshall at the
London Foreign Ministers meeting.
Gen. Brian Robertson, British
military governor, likewise referred
Marshal Sokolovsky to statements
Of the British Foreign Secretary at
the London conference.
Gen. Pierre Koenig, French mill
tary governor, reserved comment.
Immediately after the meeting
Gen. Clay left for the United States
for urgent discussions in Washing
ton. His plane took of from Tenn
plehof Airdrome at 5:45 pm.
