SIS DIPLOMACY DOESN'T SELL
TOO WELL ANYMORE

Fundamentally, we face a pOlti-
GAIA human-challenge of the high
est order In spite of our great eff
forts and vast expenditures, we have
been hugely unsuccessful in the battle
for mems minds. We have spent more
than $500 million in Italy since the
war and during the same period the
membership of the Communist party
there went from $4,000 to 2,50O000.
We run the risk of a political cam
paign in which one candidate spends
most of the money while the other
candidate receives all the votes.

through its government, can make
American democracy an article of ex-
port. The Christian concept of the

FRANKFURT, Germany, Oct l.
A small-scale invasion" of the

been reported by DR.. Hans Ehard,
German minister president of Ba-

He said Communist functionaries
from the East" are slipping into the
American zone with Czechoslovak
refugees and Germans expelled from

Dr. Ehard said the agents, show
ing "Mascow training" have formed
action committees and are terroriz-

for them.>
British and American authorities
said several persons in the camps
are under investigation as possible

today by Red gunfire. pro-govern-

Chinhsien, southern anchor of the
airlift for Mukden, is the second
most important government strong
hold in Manchuria.
The airfield, some 4 miles from
the Manchurian city, had been
used a short time earlier to lano
government reinforcements from
Mukden.
The developing battle for all of
Southeastern Manchuria seemed
moving toward a climax late todNay.

capital of Kweisui and Tsining, go
miles to the east.
These same reports also told of
the arrival Of 10000 troops at

Hsuchow, straddling the major
rail connection between Lunghai and
Pukow, is the last major Nationalist
stronghold north of the Yangtze
River in Shantung.
Meanwhile, Generalissimo Chang
Kai-shek's visit to North China
created a feeling in some quarters
that the military situation, although
extremely unfavorable, might yet be
retrieved.
This was not due simply to blind
faith-although some Chinese seem
to invest Gen. Chang with super
natural powers-but to appreciation
of his authority. People realize that
Gen. Chang can give unquestioned
orders and in many instances see
them carried out.
Meeting the Red threat to North
China requires a degree of CO.
ordination among four different
commands which, without Gen.
Chiang's influence, might not be
easy to get.
