Afghan Government
Being Reorganized
ey the Associotsd Press

|. KABUL, Afghanistan, Nov. 49,
The government of Afghanistan
has been reorganized. Informed
sources say it represents an at
tempt to coordinate and unity
the administration in a time OF
national crisis.
The new plan calls for a
Tightening Of administrative con-
troll and the delegation of addi-
tional responsibility to certain
leaders.
The executive authority will be
headed in the future by q newly
created high council of sever
members, led by Prime Minister
Shah Mahmud. Other members
of the council include Ali Mo-
hammed Khan, foreign minister
and vice prime minister, Moham-
med Daoud Khan, minister OF
war, Abdul Maid Khan. minister
of national economy. and Faiz
Mohammed Khan, minister OF
education. The remaining three
members have not been selected
The cabinet of Afghanistan
previously the administrative
body, will remain in existence
under the leadership of the high
council. Each of the council men,
bers will control several minis
tries.
The continuing conflict with
Pakistan over the status of border
tribesmen and the sfaky condition
of the Afghan economy have
created the necessity for q uni
fed governmental policy.

Chengtu Is Expected
To Be Next Refuge Of
Nationalist Regime
By the Associated Press

GHUNGKING, China, Nov. 49,
The Communists spurred their
march on Chungking today, amid
indications the Nationalist govern
ment would soon be forced to, flee
to Chengtu, ITO miles northwest of
here.
(The Red radio in Peiping
said the Reds had reached the
outskirts of Nanchwan. only So
miles southwest of Chungking
by the regular highway. The
broadcast was heard in San
Francisco by the Associated
Press.)
The Nationalists acknowledged
that the Reds were 95 miles away
having taken the old half OF
Pengshui. CThe Reds said they
took the whole town three days
ago.
Although the government was
mum on moving plans, all signs
pointed to Chengtu.
May Be Staging Point.
Quick mass flights to Running
400 miles southwest of Chungking
or to the island of Formosa were
impossible because of airline deser-
tions to the Reds.
1t appears that Chengtu will
serve as a sort of staging point
rather than a regular capital. How
long the Nationalist government
can remain there or where it will
60 next will depend mainly on the
Communists.
Only three cabinet officers now
are in Chungking: Premier Yen
Hsi-shan, Finance Minister Kwan
Chi-yu, and Education Minister
Han Lih-wu. All the others are ir
Hong Kong, Formosa or various
parts of South China.
Acting President Ii Tsung-jen
was still in Southern Kwangsi
Province. His failure to return to
Chungking to confer with General
issimo Chang Kai-shek height
ened the tension in this dreary
city.
A Hong Kong report that l.
was negotiating with the Reds
was denied Immediately by his
secretary, but it shocked Chung
king. The secretary said it was
a lie aimed at widening the pres
ent breach in the Nationalist
leadership. and that Ii would re-
turn to Chungking in a few days
Chang Favors Withdrawal.
Ever since his efforts to make
peace failed last spring, Ii has
favored all-out battle against the
Reds, but Chiang's strategy OF
withdrawal with minimum ex-
posure has prevailed.
The political crisis and the Red
approach combined to make
Chungking tense. Prices have
doubled almost overnight. Today
throngs besieged banks, trying
with limited success to change
Nationalist paper money for sill
yer coins.

it had no ground for accounting

for old soldiers and carried out
his program by purchasing the
large tract at time when Wash
ington was little more than an
overgrown village. AT that time
it was so far out in the country
that it was used as a summer
home for Presidents.
For support OF the nome, en-
listed men of the Regular Army
had deducted from their monthly
pay checks small amounts, which
gave them the right to use the
home when they became old
These amounts varied, over the
years, from 10 to Is cents per
man: and for some years they
were stopped because of the great
amount of money held in trust
for the home by the Treasury.
In addition to these deductions,
statutes provided for turning into
the fund fines and forfeitures for
enlisted men, as 81 result of the

l9.-Young Democrats tonight
passed, 297 to 173, a resolution
which included endorsement ot
! President Truman'S civil rights
program. .....
The Deep South, with the ex-
ception of Florida, voted solidly
against the resolution.
After considerable maneuvering
the controversial matter was put
through without a bitter floor
fight which had been anticipated
There was virtually no debate
after the issue reached the floor
of the young Democrats national
convention.

was elected by acclamation after

in his favor.

the civil rights measure appeared
content to have the record show
they were against that program
but otherwise solidly behind Thu

Carrier Plans Helped
Solve Atom Problems,
Denfe|d Report Says
By John A. Giles

Although 1t never was pullt, Jne
Is, ,000-t ton super aircraft carrier
United States provided the Navy
with solutions to many impor-
tant problems" which will be of
immense value in an atomic war,
Admiral Louis E. Denfeld dis
closed last night in his final report
as chief of naval operations.
It was the carrier cancella tion
and the Air Forces controversial
B-36 bomber which caused much
of the inter- service quarreling, re-
sulting in the House unification
investigation and the eventual
custer of Admiral Denfeld as
naval operations chief.
Admiral Denfeld's report dealt
only with affairs during the fiscal
year ended last June 80. 1t con-
tanned no direct mention of the
bitter inter- service row, but did
discuss the $189, 100000 super car
rier project which Defense Secre-
tary johnson cancelled April %.
Studies Solved Problems.
After commenting that "vari-
GUS considerat tions" led to the cam
collation., Admiral Denfeld said it
was worth mentioning here that
last year during the extensive
studies conducted in the develop
ment of the design for this vessel,
many important problems were
solved.
These solutions are now avail
able for future guidance" he
added. 1.-THE construction of a
carrier to launch and recover jet
bombers capable OF. carrying the
most effective bomb load is en-
trely feasible. The manner Of
effectively catapulting, recovering
and replenishing. these aircraft
has been determined and will
prove extremely valuable in car
rier development. ="
The cancellation of the carrier
brought about the resignation OF
John l.. Sullivan as Secretary of
the Navy and was the forerunner
of deep-seated service differences
which were aired before the House
Armed Services Committee.
Other Denfield Findings.
Admiral Denfeld also:
l. Declared that "how much
smaller the Navy will become de-
pends on congressional interpre-
tation of international events as
they affect the security Of the
United States translated in terms
of appropriations for defense. P"
He added that from the stand
point of morale-which some wit
nesses told the House committee,
was being shot to pieces by cur
rent defense policies-it was de-
sirable to cut back the Navy's
personnel by normal attrition.
rather than immediate discharge
of the surplus.
2. Saw the Navy as continuing
to be "a vital force" in support
of the Nations foreign policy.
THE unique advantage of naval
forces in this undertaking has
been their ability to attain their
objectiveS without the encum-
brance or embarrassment of es-
tablishing military installations
on foreign soil among crowded
and jealousy dependent popula-
tions," he added.
8. Reported that "a program is
in hand to equip anti-submarine
aircraft with radar, specially de-
signed for detection of snorkel-
type submarines" which can travel
great distances under water. He
also added that the new sub
marine construction program in
clude a type capable of high sub
merged speed which promises
impressive performance as COM

quent, with British and Norwegian
EXPEDITIONS strongly in the lead.
With the exception OF the
United States, all these coun-
tries have made formal claims
to territorial sovereignty at one
time or another, some French
and British claims dating as far
back as the Eighteenth Century
But it. was not until the Nine
teenth Century that these claims
came to be ratified by the vari-
Gus governments. In the past
40 years the political map OF Ant
arctica has taken shape. OF the
three areas of British territory
the Falkland Islands sector, SUBJ
sequently the Falkland Islands
dependencies, was defined by let
ters patent of July 81, 1908, ano
March %, 1917.
The New Zealand sector, tht
Ross Dependency, was defined by
an order in council of July 80
1923, and the Australian sector
known as the Australian Antarctic
Territory (by an order in council
of February Z, 1888. Adele Land
lying within the Australian Ant
arctic territory, was annexed by
France by a decree of April 1
1924. A decree of January IL
1899, ratified Norwegian sover-
eighty over Queen Maud Land.
Claims Overlap Each Other.
The Pacific sector, which in
cludes James W., Ellsworth Land
and Marie Byrd Land. has been
partly claimed by the Chilean
government, and since 1889 both
Argentina and Chile have laid
claims, overlapping each other, to
large parts of the Falkland Is
lands dependencies.
AS to the United States, claims
have been made by individuals :
for example, Admiral Byrd's claim
to Marie Byrd Land for the United
States-and the names of Ameri-
can citizens appear not infre-
> quently on the map. But officially
the United States, while reserving
all rights, neither recognizes ex-
isting claims nor makes any.
Complete international agree
nnent on this partition Of the last
continent" shows no signs Of be-
ing reached. International law
yers are not even agreed as to the
means by which claims should be
established.
