 What Is Left of Regime
(By Associated Press)

Generalissimo Chiang Kai-shek is back in the saddle as President of Nationalist China. He retired as President and Commander-in- Chief of Nationalist Forces over a year ago. He announced he is re- turning to both jobs.
 He is replacing Acting President Ii Tsunz-Jean who is recuperating in New York hospital.
 All that is left of Nationalist China now is the Island of For- mosa and some other islands off the Chinese coast. An invasion by Chinese Communists is imminent.
 The Nationalists warned that all ships trading with the Communists are subject to air assault. TWO American ships were bombed and strafed by unidentified planes sus- pected of being Nationalist yester- day. The bombs missed. One sailor was injured. The Nationalists have declared a blockade of all Com- munist Chinese ports.

 Acheson testified after Deputy Undersecretary of State John E. Peurifoy told the Senators that the State Department during the last two years has got rid of POP em- ployees who were being investigated as poor security risks.

Russians Peg RubIe
 New Price

MOSCOW, Feb. 23-lR--The Sov- jet Union tonight begged its ruble to a new gold standard, and an- nounced this means the U. s. dol- lar will be. worth only four rubles instead of the old rate of 5.3. This was accompanied by reduction in prices of food, clothing and other articles sold in the Soviet Union. The reduction is intended to off, set the effect of raising the value of the ruble.
 (First reaction in financial cir cles in New York was that the move was primarily propaganda tactic, intended to show the world that while other currencies are being devalued the ruble is being graded upward.
 tFinancial sources said there is little international trade earned on in rublcs, and that Russia when it does make deals with other coun- tries always insists on dollars)
 The gold content of the ruble was fixed at 0.222l63 grams of line gold.
 The Soviet Union will buy gold at the rate of 4.45 rubles per gram of fine gold.

ATTLEE HAS PLANS FOR
 BRIT. GOVT.
Will Reyamp His Cabinet, King Informed-House
 of Commons Fire
(By Associated Press)

Fire broke out under the ancient British House of Commons today on the eve of assembly of newly elected members. It was put out i'll 10 minutes. There was little dam age.
 While fire brigades rushed to ac- tion, Prime Minister Clement At tlee was preparing to announce his reyamped cabinet. He informed King George VI last night that des- bite his slim majority won in lase Thursdays election he would car " on the government.
 Observers generally predicted the Labor Government sooner or later would be forced to resign and new slections held. Press forecasts said he elections might come in June and not later than the autumn.
 It was believed that to stay in power as a caretaker government Lahor might have to shelve its na- sionalization program. This move would be forced by the powerful Conservative opposition.
 The first real test will come in she debate on the speech from the .hrone which outlines government ,olicy. The speech will be read by he King next Monday. If the Att lee Government passes that test 1t next meets the budget debate. Conservatives won many votes i'll the last election by promising a cut in taxes.
 Deputy Prime Minister Herbert Morrison who managed Labor's el- ection campaign told meeting last night the new election may come sooner rather than later He urged Laborites to keep the el- ection machinery ready for use at any moment.

Government Near End of Arguments -United Mine
 Workers Make Defense

WASHINGTON, Feb. 28-lR-A quick wind up of the governments contempt case against the coal miners union was indicated today when Justice Department lawyers said they had only about four or five more witnesses"
 The attorneys gave out this word shortly before reconvening of the trial this afternoon before Federal Judge Richmond B. Keech.
 There was no indication from at torneys for the United Mine Work CTS as to how long they might want to make their defense.
 Developments outside the court room contained nothing to raise hopes for an end to the strike and halt to the spread of misery from the coal famine.
 The West Virginia Chamber of Commerce sent a telegram to At torney General McGrath asking what affirmative action" he was going to take to enforce the stop strike" order that Judge Keech issued Feb. II.
 There was no immediate comment from McGrath.
 At the Capitol, Rep. Hoffman CR- Mich) introduced legislation to make unions liable to punishment under the antitrust laws if they restrain commodities or services essential to the national economy health or safety, A somewhat sim liar bill has been pending for some time in the Senate.
 J. Monroe Johnson, Chairman of the Interstate Commerce Commit tee, told House committee that further cuts in railroad service may be necessary if the coal strike con- tinueS.
 Resumption of the contempt trial was delayed until afternoon so that Judge Keech could hear the argu- ments in chambers on the question of whether to admit evidence about the two previous convictions--in 1946 and 1948-of the union on charges of contempt for ignoring a courts back to- work order.

H-Bomb Talk Is Like Purple Word Cloud,
 Says LiIienfh h al

ATLANTIC CITY, N. J. Feb. 28-- R-David E. Lilienthal says talk about the hydrogen bomb is like a cloud of words" that followed the explosion of the first atom bomb.
 He told about 10000 educators last night that after the atom bombs were dropped on Hiroshima and Nagasaki there followed the greatest verbal detonation in his- tory, a mushroom shaped cloud of words, 40,000 feet in altitude, pur- pie in color"
 Lilienthal, former chairman Of the Atomic Energy Commission, said this is being duplicated in the past few weeks"
 At a news conference preceding his address, Lilienthal was asked to comment on statement by Dr. Leo Szilard. one of the na- tion's top atomic scientists, that the hydrogen bomb could Kill all humans in the world.
 T won't have anything on that today" Lilienthal said. But, in his extemporaneous re- marks to the American Associa- ton of school administrators an- nual convention, Lilienthal said:
 "We sholI1d have faith that OlIf Creator did not endow men with the knowledge to unlock the atom with the idea that he would des- troy himself"

 " WASHINGTON - A slow fire burning across the midwest prairies will stir the biggest rumpus in the 81st Congress and decide the 1850 elections. This is the opinion Of ranking politicians on both sides of the aisle.
 The fire is a rank-and-file farm CTS revolt against the sliding scale of parity payments which was jam med through Congress by the pow erful Farm Bureau Federation plus a coalition of Republicans and southern Democrats.
 Signs of the revolt are:
 No. IA poll among Iowa hog farmers taken by Wallace's Farmer, which revealed 45 percent favor the Grammar Plan of direct govern ment payments to farmers, while letting fall the prices to the con- sumer Thirty-five percent are back of the present system of the government buying and storing sur- pluses to keep prices up. The re- mainder could not decide. This is a gain of Il percent in eight months for the Grammar idea.
 Commented one hog farmer, Let the price drop. Maybe some poor folks could have a little meat-es- pecially children. Let's not store pork and have it wasted"
 This poll was taken in the home state of Allan Kline, Farm Bureau President, who is bitterly fight ing the Grammar Plan. Kline boasts when an Iowa hog sees me, he curls his tail"

O DAYLIGHT SAVING

While daylight saving time was
adopted by most of the state this
week. the city of Auburn became a
temporary "oasis" or "backWoods'
whichever one wants to call it, where
standard time still was being used
Since Auburn is not, in reality, an
isolated town despite its refusal to
adopt daylight saving time, the sit
ia ion is developing complications
for the towns citizens, who must
express time in two different ways
to avoid confusion. Ditto for the
businessmen, who must attempt tc
reconcile their hours of business tC
a confusing situation.
The Auburn City Council declined
to adopt daylight saving time after
considering two petitions. one with
$50 signatures in favor of daylight
saving, the other with 882 against
A new petition for daylight saving
was to be presented to the Council
this week. In the meantime. and as
long as the rest of the county is out
of harmony with Auburn, the situa
ton will be "confoozin' but not
amoozin' ="
