Yangtze Bridgeheads
Reported Demanded
By Reds in ParIeys
BY ths Assoeicssd Press

NANKING. April 16.-Chinest
government sources confirmed TO.
day that the Communists are de-
manding q peaceful crossing" Of
the Yangtze. South bank bridge.
heads are sought as q guarantee
that the Nationalists will carry
out the Reds peace terms.
The Communists. these source,
said, want unopposed landings for
their troops between Nanking and
Shanghai and upstream along the
middle stretches of the great river
These bridgeheads could be
quickly expanded for an offensive
into South China should the Ma
ttonalists balk at any stage on
the eight conditions for peace laid
down by Communist Boss Mao
Tze-tung.
There was no indication whether
the new Red demands came in the
form of an ultimatum.
Three Crack Armies Massed.
The Reds have three crack ar
mics massed along the Yangtze's
north bank and are in position to
force their way across at many
key points along a 650-mile front.
No competent military observer
doubts the Reds ability to fight
their way across.
There was no indication of the
governments reaction to the Com
nlunist demands. Details were
believed to have been brought
here to Acting President Ii Tsung-
jen this afternoon by Huang Shao-
hsing. He is a member of the Ma
tionalist peace delegation which
is negotiating with the Reds at
Peiping.
Despite having the whip hand
with superior military forces. the
Communists are giving Ii some
room for political maneuvers. For
this there are two reasons:
Il. The Reds obviously are anx-
ious to get across the Yangtze by
political means instead of an ex-
pensive campaign.
2. The Reds know that Ii does
not have the power at the moment
to carry out surrender on Com
munist terms. They realize re
tired" President Chang Kai-shek
still controls much of Nationalist
China. The bulk of Nationalist
armies are commanded by gen.
erals personally loyal to him.
Everything Going Nicely"
Huang's only comment to news
men on his arrival from Peiping
was q perfunctory: Everything
is going nicely"
One paper. the Commercial
Journal of Shanghai, said an
agreement had been reached on
the first stage Of a coalition gov
ernment. It said the Nationalist
and Communist parties would
merge, then a Peoples Congress"
would be elected. This congress
would draft a new constitution
which would provide for the coali-
ton government. T..
Meanwhile, Marshall Yen Hsi-
shan. military governor of Shansi
Province, was in Marking re-
portedly acting as mediator be-
tween the Ii and Chang factions.
The famed warlord's own capital,
Taiyuan, was under Communist
assault again after a 9-month lull.
A spokesman for his Nanking office
said 100000 Red troops are en-
gagged and their spearheads are
within one mile of the city.
Capture of Taiyuan would be
big step in the Reds attempt to
consolidate their rear.

Pirate gridders against another of
the stronger teams in the Western
Buckeye league race this fall.
So far in 1949 play, st. Marys
Roughriders have lost only one tilt,
a Is to IA setback handed the team
by Celina. Although Bluffton last
week bested Celina, % to 81, the
margin of difference in comparative
games is close enough to assure an
other close tilt this week
A win over St. Marys Friday
would practically assure the Bluff
ton team of remaining in the thick
of the league championship race
right down to the finish line, for it
would establish the Pirates as ia

At the same time, Van Vert, now

Is Killed Near Here

Rudy Karl, 40, of Leipsic, veteran
lineman for the Ohio Power Co.,
was killed instantly last Friday
afternoon when he came into contact
with 4,000-volt power line while
working between Bluffton and Pan
dora.
Karl was working with crew
stepping up the voltage on a line
two and one-half miles southeast of
Pandora in Allen county.
He had just reached the top of the
pole and had swung onto a crossbar
when the accident occurred. After
he had collapsed against his safety
belt, other workmen lowered him to
the ground and artificial resuscita-
ton was attempted until resusci-
tator arrived.
Karl was president of the Com
mercial club at Leipsic.

Bluffton College Eleven To Play
Ohio Northern Here Saturday Night

last week by a score of 27 to 6.
Ohio Northern will come here
with one of the best collegiate rec
ords in this area, and the crippled
Bluffton squad will face a severe
test in attempting to emerge victor
ious over the Bears.
The Northern team has lost only
one tilt so far this season, a 13 to
O setback administered by Morris
Harvey, which last week trounced
Bowling Green, 20 to 0.
Buttons hospital list will have
crippling effect on the Beavers,
with Braey, Hearne and Jerger still
out of uniform, and Frost lost for
the remainder of the season.
Last Saturday at Olivet, Bluffton's
offense began clicking for the first
time this fall, although the Beavers
absorbed a 27 to 6 beating at the
hands of the Michigan eleven.
In the tilt, the locals came thru
with their first touchdown of the
season, a fourth-quarter score tailed
by Quarterback Gene Suter, who
sneaked over from the one. The
scoring opportunity was set up when
big Jim Howe blocked an Olivet
punt on the 35, and Bluffton moved
on downfield to score.
Bluffton had five first downs in

Bluffton High Gridders Toppie
Unbeaten Celina By 25-21 Score

Racking up their fourth win in
five starts, Bluffton High schools
amazingly successful gridders stayed
in the thick of the Western Buckeye
league championship race with 20
to 21 victory over Celina at that
place, last Friday night.
The win kept the Pirates within
one game of the undefeated, front
running Van Vert Cougars, the only
team to defeat Bluffton so far this
season. Van Vert still must play
strong Celina and st. Marys teams
in the fall schedule.
In topping Celina last Friday, the
Lowrynen put on sparkling first
half exhibition that stunned Celina
followers, who had rated their team
as one of the favorites in the red
hot league race.
When the Pirates trotted off the
field at halftime they held an Is to
@ lead, amassed on one touchdown
in the first period and two more in
the second.
After Celina had scored twice in
the third period to get back into the
ball game, Bluffton came up with its
fourth touchdown in the same quar-
ter. Celina's last I'D was made
in the fourth quarter, and the Bull
dogs were threatening again as the
game ended.

only eight seconds remaining in the
first half Mathewson intercepted a
Celina pass and went roaring 68
yards for another Bluffton tally.
The final Bluffton touchdown was
made on third-quarter Garmatter
to Mathewson pass.
Celina's first score was made on

time on jobs that are not covered.
Let's look at the occupations not
covered by Social Security. All
types of farm work are left out of
this Old-Age and Survivors Insur-
ance; domestic work in private
homes is left out; work for city,
county, State or Federal Govern
ment is passed over; the self-em-
ployed are not under this insurance
system; employees of non-profit in
situations and organizations solely
for religious or educational pur-
poses are barred.
In our country, no one is forced
to continue in the same employment.
And, as he changes jobs, he may
come under Social Security, only to
leave that coverage when he takes
another job which is not covered.
Sometimes he's in and sometimes
he's out: therefore, sometimes he
can get benefits when he is IS and
retires and sometimes he cannot,
which is also true of survivors.
The Social Security Administra-
ton, as required by law, makes
recommendations for improving Old
Age and Survivors Insurance. The
chief recommendation for the past
several years has been to extend
the protection of Old-Age and Sur
vivors Insurance to all gainfully en-
ployed persons and to increase this
protection against the loss of in
come from old age or death.

swer the question: Does the fact
that a worker retires on a small
pension, deprive him and his fam
lily from obtaining Social Security
benefits?

bY VIM. ]. Lanahan

Editors Note: This is the third
in series of articles by William
j. Lanahan, manager of the Social
Security Administration Field Of
flee in Hagerstown, concerning your
rights under Social Security, and
how you can best protect those
rights.
One question asked frequently at
any Social Security Field Office is
this one: Does everyone who has
a Social Security Card get benefits?"
Simply owning a Social Security
Account Number Card does not in
itself guarantee that you will get
retirement benefits at IS or later,
or that your family will receive
benefits if you die, whatever your
age. Any benefits paid to you or to
your survivors depend on how long
you have worked on jobs covered by
the Social Security Act.
AS you know, all kinds of work are
not covered. 1t is easy to see that
many persons who have account
number cards will have worked at
least some time on jobs covered by
the Act, yet won't get benefits be-
cause they worked most of the
