Chinese Nationalists reported to-
day that 10000 of their troops
had arrived safely in the Far East
ern province of Sikang and were
reorganizing for guerrilla warfare
against the Communists.
This and other official dis
patches expressed growing opti-
mism for strong guerrilla opera
tions against the Reds, who have
won control of practically all the
Chinese mainland.
The 10000 troops in Sikang
were remnants of the one time
250,000-man army of Gen. Hu
Tsung-nan. He himself was said
to be in Sikang preparing for fur
ther warfare.
1t also was disclosed that Yang
Je-nan, most powerful of Sikang's
aboriginal chiefs, had been au-
thorized to form an army to fight
the Reds.
The Taipei press also noted that
the Reds had sent no troops tc

Federal Officials
Plun to Examine
Situation Tuesday
By jones Y. Newton

The Government last night
planned no immediate court
breakdown on the Nation wide
soft coal strike despite reports
indicating that few of the 370.-
900 idle miners would return to
work tomorrow.
Federal officials said they would
examine the mine work situation
Tuesday before moving for en-
forcement of an eight-day old
District Court back -to-work order
If most of the miners are con-
tinuing the strike. the Justice De-
partment then will ask Judge
Richmond B. Keech to cite John
L. Lewis United Mine Workers
for contempt of court.
But the early word from all of
the big coal producing States was
that most of the miners will stay
home tomorrow despite a second
appeal from Mr.. Lewis to end the
13-day strike.
Few Bright Spots.
The news was especially bad
from Pennsylvania and West Vir-
ginia. where more than half of
the miners are employed. The
only bright spots apparent were
Alabama and some parts of the
Far West, where UNIV officials
said they expected the men to
work.
The coal fields reports contra
dicted an opinion given President
Truman earlier by his coal ad-
visers. The three man coal dis
pute board of inquiry and Fed
eral Mediation Chief Cyrus S.
Ching told the President they ex-
pected strong back-to- work
movement to develop among the
miners tomorrow.
David L. Cole, chairman of the
board, said the Presidents OBJ
servers were hopeful that enough
miners would return to work to
make unnecessary any Govern
ment breakdown on the strike.
Contract Talks Recess.
A few hours after calling on Mr..
Truman, the board and Mr.. Ching
gave up all hope of a mine con-
tract agreement this week end
that would bring the long coal
crisis to an end. They recessed
the contract conference between
Mr.. Lewis and the mine operators
until 2 pm. tomorrow. The dis
putants had met for more than
two hours in fruitless negotiation.
The contract talks, it was
learned, had reached a full dead
lock. One observer even said
the atmosphere was too hostile"
to warrant further bargaining ef-
forts at the time.
Mr.. Cole said all sides we're tired
and needed breathing spell. On
Friday he had reported some
progress toward narrowing the gap
between Mr.. Lewis and the opera
tors in economic details of a con-
tract-wages and payments into
the union welfare fund. He said
there had been no retrogression
and no further progress.

level talks to bridge the gulf be-
tween the East and West. Mr..
Attlee made the final broadcast
speech for the Labor Party before
thursdays general election.
The prime minister said that if
Russia had accepted Western pro-
posals for control of atomic
energy, this cloud of fear would
have been lifted from the peoples,
but Russia would not accept"
Only Will Held Necessary.
Mr.. Attlee declared that the
difficulty in effecting a settlement
of international friction docs not
lie in the method nor in the choice
OF persons to discuss these high
matters. All that is required is
the will" He continued:
I'VE on this side of the Iron
Curtain have the will to discuss
with the Russians this and all
other outstanding difficulties.
THE machinery of the United
Nations is still there. ready to be
used. We are prepared at any
time to use it to the full.
1--WE are ready and eager to
discuss with Russia, the United
States, Canada, and all other ma
tions ways and means for dealing
with this menace"
Soviet Has $4,000 Planes.
Mr.. Churchill last night con-
tinued his argument that I'VE
ought to close no door on the at
tempt to establish some under
standing" between East and West.
But in the meantime, he added
America and Britain should not
give up the atomic bomb until
there is an effective agreement to
make sure nobody else could make
or use the A-bonb.
He said Russia is maintaining
a gigantic army and has "far
more than $4,000 warplanes ir
commission"
He argued that only great
quantities of atomic bombs pos
sessed by the United States could
prevent a Russian advance ito
the channel coast of France
except, of course, their (Russia's)
goodwill, their good faith, their
genial outlook upon mankind. And
I would not be prepared to trust
to that"
Independence Held Lost.
Mr.. Chuchill's speech was aimed
mostly for domestic consumption
He said he had left the govern
ment in 1945 when I'VE stood
at the summit of our world fame
and historical reputation" Since
then, he added. Britain's position
has sadly fallen with every year
that the Socialists have been in
power" He continued:
First of all, we have lost our
independence. I ALWAYS
thought we had a right to expect
assistance from the United States
but I never liked the idea of
being dependent on another coun-
try. even our dearest friend.
But we had to do it. The
Socialist government, boasting of
all the benefits they have con-
ferred. is living on the bounty
of America"
He warned that there will be
grave problems when American
aid ends in 1852.
Backs U. S. Atom Plan.
Mr.. Churchill's discussion of
ornaments and atomic weapons
came in response to questions. In
effect, he indorsed the American
sponsored plan for control of
atomic weapons by asking for
