The Army is working on a sweep ing new plan for promoting off cers-patterned after the British system. If adopted, it would fix an officers rank according to the job he holds . A Gallup poll shows that clear-cut majority of voters favor federal aid to edu- cation and would be willing to pay more taxes to finance it :. The Army and Navy are lobbying undercover against bill that would give reservists on active duty the same death and disability benefits as regulars. The bill was introduced by Senatoir Bill Know land of California and Congress- woman Margaret Chase Smith of Maine. As an example of the pres ent injustice, reserve Marine pilot, George Finnegan, recently lost an arm in a crash while on two-weeks' active duty, but was unable to collect a cent of dis ability pay Senator Ralph Flanders of Vermont has written stiff letter to Ben Hairless, pres ident oi U. s.

Flanders points out in his letter that the anti-inflation objective of the law i passed by Congress last December, under which voluntary steel allo- cations are made, is being vio-
 lated as long as Big Steel sells only to builders of conventional brick and wood-built houses and boycotts the pre-fab housing indus

OLD-AGE PLANNING

UNDER THE DOME

An interesting Senate row has developed over Senator Taft's mon- opoly of mimeographing facilities. Taft insists that his Presidential campaign releases be given top priority over the statements by ether Senators. However, what the Ohio Presidential candidate doesn't know is that overworked employees in the mimeographing room have decided to give him campaign pro- paganda 2 priority on future work if Taft's office continues it's bulldozing Senator Vandenberg, long known for his fairness, has tarnished his reputation a bit in the battle over atomic energy.

HOUSE OF REFRESHMENTS
 TO RESCUE

Immediately, Connecticut's Re- publican Congressman William Mill Ter introduced a bill restoring the Food and Drug Administrations jurisdiction. This brought a hail. storm of protests from the ma. tions millers, stirred up chiefly by E. W. Morrison of Denton, Texas, president of the Morrison Milling Company.
 Morrison, himself, appeared be- fore the Senate Commerce Commit tee in opposition to the bill after it had passed the House without a dissenting vote. He brought as re- Inducements Leslie Ford of Shaw nee, Okla, president of the Shaw nee Milling Company, and Charles McClave of Great Falls, Mont, treasurer Of Montana Flour Mills, Inc.
 Morrison urged a watered-down substitute bill which would force the Government to prove 'willful intent or gross negligence" before it could press criminal charges.
 There have been seizures he argued, because of the inclusion in shipments of flour or meal of infinitesimal quantities of so-called filth"

Missionaries in China
Deciding Whether 10
Remain Under Reds
By Albert RovenhoIt
Fersisn Correspondent OF The Ssar and
the chicaae paiIy Nsws

the Chicago Dolly News
CANTON, China, Nov. 22.-Chris-
tian missionaries In China are
wrestling with one of their most
momentous decisions in nearly 400
years since the famous Jesuit priest,
Francis Xavier, first landed on these
shores.
The missionaries are trying to
decide whether to get out Of China
or remain and attempt to work un-
der a predominantly Chinese-Com-
munist government.
The last great missionary evacua-
ton from China was during the
1929 revolution which brought
Generalissimo Chang Kai-shek to
power. During the northern march
about 1000 or more than 5000 Pro-
testant missionaries and many
Catholics packed up and went home
or to other areas of the Far East.
This time, as the Communists
pushed south, few foreign mission
aries remained at the posts" Most
retreated to the Shanghai-Nanking
area and further south and at
tempted to take up new work in
already established missions.
Stats Move To South.
Several university stats also
moved from North to South China.
Most missionaries of all faiths
are now convinced it is only a mat
ter of months before government
friendly to the Communists will
rule most and eventually all - of
China.
Foreign Protestant missionaries in
China now number roughly $500.
Baptized Chinese Protestants total
600, 900 with an additional 100000
family members who practice Chris
tianity. The Catholics, before Pearl
Harbor, had more than 5000 foreign
missionaries in China and enlarged
that number after the war. Chi.
nese Catholics total between $780,
900 and 100000.
Foreign and Chinese Christians,
in spite of their comparatively small
numbers, have made q significant
contribution to the modernization
of China. More than two-thirds Of
China's hospital service was organ
lied and is partially supported by
missions.
Value Of Property.
Christians Chinese and foreign
now operate 23s middle schools
which correspond to high schools In
the United States. Fifteen of the
better universities and colleges In
China are partially or wholly sup
ported and stated by Chinese and
foreign Christians.
The present value Of mission
property is hard to calculate, due
to imitation and wartime destruc-
ton. In 1890 1t was vsluted ut
SIS, ,O00, 900. This includes schools,
hospitals, churches, mission build
ings and some Catholic land hold
ings.
Since w day, millions Of dollars
have been collected from Europe
and America for replacement and
reconstruction Of Christian prop
erty. The rebuilding program is
being pushed vigorously In spite 6f
imitation and civil war.

Human Province. He said:

"The United States supported
Chang Kai-shek almost to the very
end. What I fear is that I will EN-.
barrass my Chinese Christian col.
leagues with the Communists If
remain. On the other hand, II
leave now I know 1t will be most
dificult to return and work under
the new government even If the
Communists permit Christians tc
continue their efforts"
The Catholic position is compli-
Gated because in many areas the
Catholic Church is one of the largest
land owners. The ProtestantS de-
pended for mission support mainly
on contributions from abroad-in
1885 they totaled more than $6,O00,-
600 Omitted States). The Catholics
sought to make their missions self
supporting which, In agricultural
China, usually meant investing cap
ital in the land.
The Catholics are now faced with
the double threat of Communist
philosophical opposition to Chris
tianity and the Chinese Communist
land redistribution program which,

tell why Clorox is first with Amer

1-Centler bleaching action
2-Creater injecting efficiency
Because Clorox reduces rubbing

harsh substances 1t conserves your
linens. You and I can trust even
precious handmade linen heirlooms

Clorox.
You can trust Clorox to provide
added health protection, too. Hun

millions of harmful germs out of
