the Malayan Federation are ex-
pected to be represented.

said, will map political, economic
and military measures for keeping
Communism out Of Britain's colo

course for future dealings with
the Chinese Communists.
Among those expected to attend

the Foreign Office. Senior British
military advisers also will attend.
One informant said British
recognition Of the recently pro-
claimed Chinese Communist re-
gime is matter Of time only"
He explained that recognition is
being held up mainly by Britain's
pledge not to take such a step
before fully consulting the United
States, France and the other At
lantic pact countries and the
Commonwealth government.
Britain repeatedly does not
want to risk losing her big eco
nomic and financial stake in
China by unduly delaying recog-
milton Of the Chinese Communist
government.
The American State Depart
ment is said to be urging Britain
and other Western European
countries not to recognize the
Chinese Communists. either uni

Squeezed Claimed !;
Governor Asks Probe
By the A,soeiafsd Rrssa

BALTIMORE, Oct. ia Bal
timore manufacturer says he was
subjected to q squeeze play to
force him to contribute to Gov.
Lanes campaign fund.
The Governor has requested the
State Law Department to investi-
gate the incident.
William M. Ives, jr., a West Bal
timore manufacturer, said he was
approached Wednesday by a man
who said he was an inspector for
the State Board Of ExaQing En-
gineers.
Man Presents Letter.
Mr.. Ives said the man had q
letter which seemed to be from
the board chairman saying that
unless Mr.. Ives paid 1882, he faced
"a lot Of trouble"
The manufacturer said he was
told $12 was to be for new licenses
and the balance for the campaign
fund.
Mr.. Ives said that after telling
the man his licenses were in order
he tried to get him to return at
a time when Mr.. Ives could have
witnesses on hand. The "inspec-
tor" arrived early for the meeting,
however, and said the license deal
was off. Then he departed.
j. Edgar Harvey heard Mr.. Ives
story yesterday, along with Ernest
E. Green, chairman Of the exam
ming board, and Harry w. Hauf,
the other board member.
Mr.. Green said later he first
heard Of the incident Mr.. Ives re-
ported when Attorney General
Hall Hammond called him yes
terday. Mr.. Green said he had
not signed the letter seen by Mr..
Ives.
He said the board would await
the Governors advice before tax
ing any action.
