.$100,ooo,oo0 Fund
Reported Held From
Marking by Chang
BY the Associated Prsss

NANKING. Mar. 25.-Reliable
official quarters said today the
hard-pressed Nanking government
was being denied about 100000
600 in Treasury funds held by
Chang Kai-shek's loyal subordi-
mates.
Privately. Chinese officials say
the retired President controls
nearly third of the governments
hard specie assets. Most Of these
funds, they say. are in the Fukien
Province port of Annoy, Formosa
and other South China points.
Another portion of the assets as
sertedly is tied up in foreign bank
accounts the government is un-
able to draw on.
Chiang's Power Still Feared.
What in other countries prompt
ly would become something OF a
major scandal has been held back
for two reasons:
/. Fear of Chang. who still
controls much of the Nationalist
army and the secret police.
2. In "face-conscious" China
officials are reluctant to say open
ly what they are complaining
about bitterly in private. They
say an attempt is being made to
keep up the fiction of united
Nationalist force.
They do not accuse Chang OF
holding back a portion Of treasury
funds for his personal gains. They
say it is merely stake in the
game of power politics that di-
vides Nationalist China. If ex-
pected peace talks with the Com
munists fail, the Nationalist group
with control of the major part
of assets and the army will be
ahead in the scramble for power
in South China.
Government officials are con-
fronted with a desperate economic
situation and are trying. to per-
suade Chang to release these
funds.
The most pressing problem fac
ing the Nanking government is
how to pay the army with the
gold yuan becoming almost value
less. To keep the loyalty OF the
army the government may have
to pay it in silver.
i Well-informed financial circles
estimate hard specie reserves OF
the government total about $275,-
100000. officials say about
third of this amount is under their
control in Shanghai plus what is
| deposited abroad under clear ma.
tional government title.
Chang ordered about $75,000,-

several months ago. The bulk

appropriation can be reduced 70
the point of where his suggested
taxes would cover the gaps is re-
allyprovoking more criticism than
the taxes Themselves.
There Is considerable sentiment
developing for consideration fav-
orably to Speaker Hodde'S pro-
posal for a bond issue for capital
construction for schools, state in.
stitutions, buildings, etc, and par
allel with this there is more dis
cussion daily Of the possibility OF
net income tax at flat rate to
supplement other income for cur
rent expense purposes, and in
lieu of other levies.
These two latter suggestions
have legal angles which are being
thoroughly examined by compe-
tent legal authorities in the hope
that they can be sustained and
put into operation.
The spirit of cooperation we
mentioned last week is still very
much in evidence both between
groups in the legislature and be-
tween the legislature ana the
governor. Everyone seems to rea-
lie that the problems transcend
party lines and there may not
even be divisions along that basis
even on the major proposals.
Some preliminary skirmishing
is going on now, as between school
forces and county administrative
forces on the matter Of reallocat-
ing o. redistributing present taxes.
These are minor, however, and
will be cleared so far as possible
4 before the major propositions
reach the committees. The House
revenue and taxation committee
has already held hearings on one
or two of these corrective mea-
sures and expects to be able to
make report and recommendations
this week thereon.
While there is a larger number
Of bills introduced this session
than two years ago, requests for
new roads by contrast seem TO be
very low. A test Of sentiment on
the highway interim committee
report win probably develop as
a result of a joint hearing on
Monday, January "a, on the sub
ject.
One of the most interesting
proposals thrown into the legis-
lative hopper is one sponsored by
labor organization which would
write into law compulsory arbi-
tration in disagreements affect
ing public service industries. The
bill pertains to the ferry situation
on Puget Sound, but the prin-
ciple of compulsory arbitration Is
an innovation and in the minds
of many a very forward step and
most interesting, of course, is that
it originates with organized labor.

Furiously blushing, palpitations,
nausea, hangover" headache
and roull-eyed" look are just
some of the symptoms which will
hit person after one small dose
of antabuse and glass of beer
or liquor, the Danish scientists
reported to the Lancet.
The after effects hit the drinker
from seven to twelve minutes
after the first drink and may last
several hours. The drinker then
loses his taste for alchohol and
settles down for a quiet nap, ac-
cording to the report.
But if he thinks he's safe when
he wakes up he need only try
another drink. The symptoms
recur each time he takes a drink
in the next one to eight days,
according to how chronic an alchQ-
holic he is and how long it takes
to wear him down.
