This Changing World
Chang Could Suffer Fate of Tito Rivsl
AS Chinese Cities Bow to Reds

of continuing the fight against the
Communists from Southern China.
These optimists contended until re-
Gently that Gen. Chang had had
his back against the wall sew
eral times before, but managed to
reorganize his armies and continue
the battle.
These enthusiasts for Gen. Chang
also point out that when China
was invaded by the overpowering
japanese armies and the Chinese
leader had to withdraw to far away
Chungking, nobody would have Civ
en- cent for his chances of survival.
BY the same token, they maintain,
although Gen. Chang has suffered
serious reverses in the present war
aginst the Communists, he can still
reorganize new armies in the south
with the help of the United States
and can resume his activities after
a short while.
Pleas Unheeded.
Nine. Chang, who is now in the
United States, and some of the gen.
eralissimo's supporters in Congress
are urging the administration to
start sending arms and ammunition
to the nearly defeated Chinese lead
er in order to enable him to con-
tinue his struggle.
Their pleas were unheeded by our
Government. because it was realized
in the highest quarters here that
Gen. Chang was no longer facing
Chinese Communists alone but the
whole might of the U. S. S. r.,
which decided some time ago to
place all of Asia behind the Iron
Curtain. And our political leaders
were reluctant to hurl challenge
at Moscow by supporting the man
who for so many years remained
steadfastly an enemy of commu-
niSm.
Top-ranking officials did not feel
that we have at present enough
power to support Gen. Chang
against the men who were backed
50 strongly by the Russians. The
two Navy transports which left the
United States in November laden
with arms and ammunition for the
Nationalist armies-the first real
help sent to Gen. Chang since Sep
tember, 1946-have now been or
dered to put in at Okinawa or some
other place occupied by American
forces, instead Of continuing their
Journey to port in Southern
China, where the precious cargo
might fall into the hands OF the
Communists.
Shanghais request for peace
terms, which is expected to be fol-
lowed by other key cities south Of
the Yangtze River, is considered in
Washington as the final blow to
the Nationalist resistance and, in
the opinion OF some high officials
in the State Department, may call
for a modification of our entire
policy In the Far East.

Undefeated Bluffton And Ada
Grid Teams To Play Here Friday

Two Glass B schools which chalk
ed up victories over Glass A foes
in their first contests of the 1949
grid season will face each other at
Harmon field this Friday night
when Bluffton High Pirates are host
to Ada's rampaging Bulldogs.
In play last week, an aroused
Bluffton team dealt Kenton its first
defeat in two. seasons by chalking
up II to victory over last years
Western Buckeye league champs.
At the same time, Ada was dem
onstrating that they have a punch
of their own by besting Wapakon-
eta, IA to 6, in tilt played at Ada.
A week earlier the Bulldogs defeat
ed Arlington in football preview
play at Findlay. 1t was the first
setback Arlington has suffered in
two years.
Bluffton's offensive and defensive
assignments against Ada will be
carried by the same outfit which
came through with success at Kenton
last week-not only because the Pi-
rates looked good in their first start,
but also because Coach Red Lowry
simply hasn't enough irst-string
candidates to permit any shifting.
Ada has a fancy ball-handling

plenty of speed and all-around eff
fectiveness.
Barring injuries to the starting
IL, who must carry an iron mans
role this season, Bluffton is expected
to more than match the strength of
the visitors, however, and although
advance indications point to a
closely matched battle there are

Bluffton Eleven Pulls Surprise
With 1916 Victory Over Kenton

few seconds Of play it was a we'll
deserved victory for the Pirates.
Bluffton scored first in the con-
test when Don Burkholder took an
under-hand lateral from Quarter
back Leland Garmatter and ran 27
yards for a touchdown. Kenton then
knotted the count with an 18-yard
pass in the fourth quarter.
With time running out, Bluffton
struck pay dirt again when Gar
matter completed a pass to Larry
Mathewson, good for 40 yards and
the winning touchdown.
In coming home with the victory,
Bluffton's eleven starteds put on an
iron-man performance, rejecting the
teams lack of depth SO far as quail
flied substitutes are concerned. All
told, four substitutes were in the
game for an average of less than
three plays per man.
