Chinese Reds Purgine
Unreliable Elements,
Indian Reports Say
BY the Associated Press

CALCUTTA, India, Jan. 3.-.Red
China is accompanying her mill
tary venture in Korea with dras-
tic purge in her own ruling Com
munist Party, according to re-
liable reports reaching India.
These reports say Peiping's
rulers have directed party leaders
to slash Communist card carriers
in China from 6 million to about
3 million. The object is q hard
core of completely loyal Commu-
nists. willing to follow without
question whatever program is out
lined by the Moscow-Peiping axis.
"Trim Unhealthy Fat"
The same reports said similar
instructions had been issued to all
Communist parties in Asia to
trim the unhealthy fat" from
their organizations.
Should these reports be correct,
they would indicate the purge
orders originated in Moscow. They
also may mean the patterning of
Asia's Red groups on the Russian
system - the limiting of party
membership to a relatively small
number of fanatic Communists,
capable of organizing and direct
ing large masses of unframed and
largely illiterate peoples.
Politically Unreliable.
It was indicated that the pur-
pose Of the purge in China was to
eliminate politically unreliable
elements which flocked to the Red
ranks when the Nationalist gov
ernment collapsed two years ago.
The wedding out did not appear,
however, to be directed at any
party faction which might oppose
the present war program.
The mention of 6 million mem
berS in the Chinese Communist
Party appears excessive to observ-
ers here familiar with China.
They pointed out, however, that
vast groups of Chinese-including
more than l million troops
shifted allegiance from the Ma
tionalist to the Communist banner
when Chang Kai-shek's forces
collapsed in the spring of 1949.
Many Of these sought party mem
bership to prove their loyalty to
the Red cause.

Chicago Suspends 7
Police Captains After
Senate Crime Probe
By the Associoted Press

CHICAGO, Jan. 3.-Two Chi
cago police captains who were
questioned by the Senate Crime
Investigating Committee were
suspended today.
Police Commissioner Timothy
J. O'Connor announced the Sus-
pension of Capts. Joseph Goldbere
of the Sheffield avenue station
and Harry j. O'Connell of the
Pekin station.
The commissioner said his ac-
tion was the result of testimony
before the Senate committee
headed by Chairman Kefauver
Committee investigators have
questioned 16 Chicago police
captains.
Mr.. O'Connor gave Mayor Mar
tin H. Kennedy report on the
financial status of the captains
yesterday.
Assets of $4,000.
The report listed Capt. Gold
berg's assets at $4,000. It added
that he had received gifts in cash
and stocks totaling at least $10,-
900.
Capt. O'Connell's assets were
listed at about $20.400. The COM
missioner said that Capt. O'Con-
nell's living expenses such as the
1925 a month for rent for his
hotel apartment, are obviously out
of proportion to his salary"
Chicago police captains have
had annual salaries Of $5,646 since
January l. Before that they were
paid $5,226 year.
In the report to Mayor Kennedy
yesterday Mr.. O'Connor said
that one captain has assets
estimated at more than $63,o00
and seven others were shown to
have accumulated amounts rang
ing from about $4,000 to $50,0o0.
Had "World's Richest Cop"
The city already had claimed
the distinction of having the
worlds richest cop" in Capt.
Daniel Gilbert. He retired two
months ago after losing the elec-
ton for sheriff of Cook County.
His assets were reported to have
exceeded $350,000. He said he
amassed the wealth in stock mar
ket transactions.
Mr.. O'Connor told Mayor Ken
nelly that his investigation thus
far had shown instances that
could "be considered violations OF
department rules and regula-
tions." AS soon as I can make
positive findings" he added, Il
will act"
Capt. Louis A. Capparelh was
the top man on Mr.. O'Connor's
report. He was listed as worth
more than $4,000. Others in
cluded Captains Harry Deas (re-
tired $4,000; Walter Healy. $37.-
700; Herbert H. Burns, $4,000
and Frank A. Gill, $26,500.

duction Authority and other ap- propriate agencies of govern ment. This may prove to be the case throughout the Territory because retailers there are not physically in such close prox- imity with their wholesalers as retailers elsewhere are, and thus may find themselves uninten- tionally discriminated against. More specifically, it would seem that the situation at Fairbanks, at Anchorage and at Kodiak, where the main defense estab- lishments are maintained, will be the most aggravated. The con- nection there between the mili- tary and the civilian is very close. For example, there is not enough housing and the lack is felt by military dependents as much as by civilians There will be on a continuing basis need for free flow of supplies to the housing projects to correct the existing urgent deficiency.
 Simultaneously" the Dele gate continued new utilities must go in to take care of the new housing projects. Elsewhere and in fact throughout the en- tire economy of the region there is an exceedingly close conncc- ton between defense undertak- ings and the very existence of these communities. Since Alaska is so important to the welfare of the nation, particularly at this time when it is serving more or loss as a bulWark region be- tween Soviet Russia and the United States, I should like to suggest that i might be well for the National Production Author fly to review on a high level the entire Alaska situatjon.'
