Chang Says Yunnan
Joins NationaIists in
War on Communists
By the Assoeiofad Press

CANTON, Sept. 9.-The Nation
alists today dealt the Chinese
Communists stiff blows on both
the military and political fronts
official accounts said.
The official Central Daily News
said rebelliouS Yunnan Province in
Southwest China had decided to
fight the Reds.
Gov. Lu Han last week pro-
claimed his independence of the
Nationalists and sought to stay out
of the civil war. His move seri-
ously threatened government plans
to make a redoubt of Chungking,
the old wartime capital in Szech-
wan Province just north of Yunnan.
Lu met at Chungking with
Chang Kai-shek. who is trying to
rally what remains of Nationalist
China for a last stand. Lu then
returned to Running, his Yennan
capital. Chang may return to
Canton tomorrow.
Pledges Fight to End.
The Daily News said Lu had
pledged to fight the Reds to the
end. The newspaper accused Gen.
Lung Yum, ousted Governor of
Yunnan Of plotting the revolt. 1t
styled him a shameless tool of the
Reds.
On the military front the Ma
tionalists broadened their attacks
on the front north Of Canton, the
Ministry of National Defense said.
Chinese press reports asserted
the Nationalists had recaptured
Jucheng. strong point ITO miles
north of Canton. From here the
Reds had been aiming attacks to-
ward the railway from Canton to
Hengyang, Nationalist base 265
miles north of Canton.
The ministry said only that
5000 irreguiars and a regiment of
the Reds 18th Army had re-
treated from Jucheng, which is 40
miles east of the railroad.
The ministry said Nationalist
counterattacks were rolling east
from Leiyang and Chenhsien, 230
and 180 miles north of Canton.
These are aimed at lifting the
threat to the railway.
The ministry also declared that
a Red attack near Kiennan, 140
miles northeast Of Canton, was
repulsed. This Communist thrust
was an apparent attempt to invade
Canton's Kwangtung Province.
The ministry finally admitted
the situation was abscure around
Shining, capital of Tsinghai Prov
ince in Northwest China. (The
Communists say they already have
captured Sining.)

Probably by the time this is pub

case if only for the sake Of the multi
ude of innocent children who already

Christmas with nothing more in their
t0ckings than the memory of better
years.

When | was a worker with the coal
Industry, until 1880, there was de-
,nand for Preston County low coal
which was higher in cost to mix
With Fairmont high coal which could

1anies have long since learned to
make coke without this blend. The
railroads today are replacing their
coal locomotives with Diesel Electrics
which, even though costing five times
us much, are saving their owners
money. There are thousands of oil
burners being installed in homes and
small industries every month. During
World War II we read every day in
our newspapers about the progress of
the "big" and 'little" inch These
we're pipelines which were bringing
natural gas to replace coal. Re

My friends, every time you strike
and get raise in wages, or get a

YOU are raising the price of coal.

how it is twisted around, in the end

Additional $4,000
Needed To Equip
Oakland Hospital

A campaign to obtain an additional
$4,000 to completely equip the Me-
mortal hospital at Oakland, now under
construction, was launched this week
at the suggestion of the County Com
missioners and executors of the
George Loar estate.
There is to be no particular time
limit on the campaign, and it was
hoped that the needed amount would
be forthcoming voluntarily, without
any intensive personal solicitation.
The construction of the 34-bed hos
pital, under contract for $426,OOO has
been underway since late last fall and
its progress is noted in a photograph
in today's issue.
The financial status was outlined
a follow: $4,000 contributed
through a bequest from the late
George w. Loar, with E. R. Jones and
J. NJ. Jarboe as executors of the
estate; an additional SOL, 72754, con-
tributed or pledged by individuals and
places of business; approximately
S135,Q00 due from the federal govern
ment through the Hill-Burton act, on
a matching basis.
Mr. Jones said yesterday that It
was still necessary to obtain money
for furnishing the hospital after the
structure was completed, and that
$4,000 was estimated as needed. 1t
is the plan of the commissioners and
executors to use the same committee
for the new drive as was used in the
solicitation of the SOL, 72754.
George Hanst, chairman, reported
this week that all pledges except
81, $50 had been paid. A recent contri-
button not previously announced is
that of Mrs. George Altstetter, of
Williamsburg, Pa, for $25, raising
the total to SOL, 1924.

School Employees
Must Refute Any
Subversive Tendency

All school teachers, supervisors,
bus operators, laborers and in fact all
who are employed in any way with
the Board of Education, will be re-
quied to sign certification that
they are not engaged in subversive
activities as defined in what is known
as the "Ober bill" it was learned this
week through the office of the Board.
R. Bowen Hardesty, county super
intendent of schools, was notified this
week by DR.. Thomas E. Pullen, Jr.,
state superintendent, that such a
certification would be required
The blanks are being mailed out
this week to all who come under the
regulation. Among the requirements
each person certifies that he is not
a subversive person as defined by the
act, not a person who commits, at
tempts to commit, or aids in the COM
mission, or advocates, abets, advises
or teaches by any means any person
to commit, attempt to commit, or aid
in the commission of any act intended
to overthrow, destroy or alter, or to
assist in the overthrow, destruction or
alteration Of, the constitutional form
of the Government of the United
States, or of the state of Maryland,
or any political subdivision of either
of them, by revolution, force or vio-
lence."

cation, not a member of a foreign
organization that attempts to over
throw or destroy the constitutional
form of government.
Employees in the health office and
other state employees will be included

affidavits, and it was considered
likely that city and county employees
would be asked to sign them too.
