Despite low rain clouds, the
Chinese air force was still flying
off Kiangwan Airf1eld against an
enemy which in some directions
was scarcely miles away. Small
arms fire could be heard in va
rious sections along the lower
Whangpoo. But that has been
true for two days.
The Whangpoo contained nu-

Several Ships Risk Attack.
Several small ocean-golng ves-
sells risked Red guns to go down
the river at noon. There were no
reports the vessels failed to reach
the Yangtze and the open sea.
Reds apparently had seized
several small creek bridges only
six miles from downtown Shang-
hal, The garrison communiQue
said Nationalists attacked the
bridges. Their location was given
as Chienlangchung and Chinchia,
riear the Standard Oil fcb. docks,
The communicate said q fierce
battle against 10000 Reds had
been raging for 10 hours at Liu-
chiahang. Heavy Red losses were
claimed. Liuchiahang is not shown
on maps but is somewhat north
Of Tungkow.
Some observers see the Com

the campaign here is not going so

Reds there have an awkward sup
ply problem. The Whangpoo Is

governor, Gen. Lucius D. Clay.
Mr.. Collision said he was given
TO understand two later requests
that he resign were the result of
testimony to the army commits
sion. He refused to resign.
Richardson Bronson, head of
Decentralization in the American
military zone, said there is no
connection" between Mr.. Col
lison's release and the Army De-
partment commissions report.
The commission. which had
been headed by Garland Fergu-
son of the Federal Trade Com
mission, reported recently that
the program of breaking up the
once great German industrial
cartels was being evaded. 1t re-
ported that as a result the same
threat to international trade con-
ditions existed as that which
helped bring on World War II.
A typical German cartel was the
I. G. Farben chemical industry,
a combine which exerted power
full controls in many countries.
Gen. Clay replied after the re-
port that the deconcentration of
economic enterprise has been ac-
complished on a scale without
parallel elsewhere. He said the
number of cartels which have
been broken up indicated that
the law was being applied.
Mr.. Collision gave this account
Of what happened:
He said he submitted reports to
his Office calling for decarteliza-
ton of many large German COM
bines but nothing was done about
them" and Gen. Clay never saw
them. Then he testified before
the Ferguson committee hearings.
Immediately after the commit
tee left Germany 7 was asked to
resign" he said, adding that the
Ferguson committee report never
was SHOWN 10 Elm.
But ] was given to understand
that the request that I resign was
the result of my testimony before
the Ferguson Committee, he said,
However, when the official dis
misSal was handed to me. it read
that the position of deputy chief
and member of the bipartite Brit
ish and Americana Decentralization
commission was not necessary and
surplus"
Policy Differences Blamed.
MIR. Collision said his dismissal
was the result of differences in
policy which had led to an sun
tenable situation"
Mr.. Bronson, asked about this,
said Mr.. Collisions release was "be-
cause of a reduction in force pio-
cedure which the Decentralization
branch, like other military organ
izations, is complying with"
Mr.. Ferguson said in Washing
ton about two weeks ago that his
report was not critical of Ger
Clay. who, he said. had an "un-
impeachable" record and made
wise decisions. His statement said
Gen. Clay has been wholehearted-
ly in thorough accord with the
policy of our Government in re-
gard to Decentralization and decon-
centration of German industry"

JOHANNESBURG. Union of
South Africa. Mar. 9.-South
Africa votes today in provincial
elections which may affect the
position Of Prime Minister Daniel
Malan's Nationalist government.
! Although party strength in the
national Legislature is not at stake,

Transvaal, Cape Province, Natal
and Orange Free State will choose
III provincial councillors. Voting
in the Cape, with S. councillors,

George Sales Gun
Man. In East
Jackson Killing
Saturday Night
Victim Shot Through Head

Victim Shot Through Head
George Sales, longtime night
spot operator, and Oldest in point
of years was the gun man in the
shooting Saturday night that kept
the number of killings mounting
on the famous, if not notorious
Fannin Road, of East Jackson,
across Pearl River in Rankin
County.
Already the number OF killings
on the Fannin Road will average
close to one for each week since
the lights went on again, when the
Governor withdrew the National
Guard from patroling that section
of Rankin County over a year
ago.
The victim of the Saturday
night killing was Eddie Dixon,
871 West Pascagoula Street, in
Jackson. He was shot through the
head, and according to onlookers
dropped dead on the floor almost
the instant the bullet struck.
There have been a number of
conflicting reports as to the
cause of the killing. One report
says that Sales had ordered Dixon
to stay out of his place. Another
said that Sales told Dixon to
keep his hands off the cards in
a skin game which was in pro-
cess, and when Dixon again at
tempted to pick up the cards Sales
fired the fatal shot. Sometime
after the shooting the body was
removed to the Peoples Funeral
Home.
AS usual, according to reports,
there was no arrest made or in
vestigation of the killing Satur-
day night, but next day the sher-
iff came over and told Sales to
get somebody go his bond.

.ings on he famous Road the trials
are growing more and more per-
functory, and the convictions and
sentences less ard less, but &C.
