I CORVALLIS GAZETTE-TIMES, MONDAY, DECEMBER 24, 1945. Corvallis, Oregon Page Six Marshall Says Time Needed to Diagnose China CHUNGKING, Dec. communist New China Daily News urged General Marshall today to set a time limit on the disarmament of Japanese troops in China and the withdrawal of American forces. The newspaper asserted that any American help to Chungking tary, political, financial or technical before a coalition government was established would aggravate "the current civil war." The statement of the newspaper, which has been speaking authoritatively for the communist side, came at a time when Marshall was plunging into his mission of peace for troubled China. After conferring with Chiang Kai-Shek, Premier T.

V. Soong and three communist leaders of the peace delegation assigned here, Marshall had admitted "it will be some time before I can hope to get a picture of Takes Time This statement by President Truman's special envoy to China, coupled with government suspicion of a communist truce proposal, strengthened doubt. that, the civil war would be halted quickly. The communists had suggested immediate cessation of hostilities and "freezing" of troops in present positions, This would mean government forces would halt their movement into Manchuria. Marshall said it rids unnecessary to restate America's policy toward China, as President Truman had made that clear.

He had conferred with Soong just before meeting newspapermen, and earlier with Chiang. Yesterday he had a "friendly exchange of views" with Gen. Chou En-Lai, deputy chief of the communist party and leader of the communist delegation to the political council; Gen. Yeh Chien-Ying, chief of staff of communist armies, and Tung PiWu, communist member of the Chinese delegation at the San Francisco UNO conference. "I'm in the business of informing myself and not making announcements," he stated.

He smiled. "You would almost have thought you were the mother, Edith- and she had to ask your permission! So I don't think she'll mind if I take the plunge!" Edith felt "herself growing straight and stiff. She released breath with a sharp, unnatural little sound. Laura wanted to tell her what? Something she was afraid might hurt! A strange quivering that was like numbness in motion took possession of Edith's body.

"Laura and I are going to be married," Chris went on. His eyes were shining, his voice exultant. all these years, Edith, she's going to have me! Think of it, darling child! Will you like me as a father?" After a' few moments Edith realized that she had to say something. You couldn't just stand staring forever at a man who has just told you he is going to marry your mother when you thought he had been about to propose to you! She felt a little sobbing laugh rising in her throat. Awful! She must hold herself steady for just these few terrible moments -then she'd be all right.

Had her mother guessed and urged her to go to her father to help ease the pain in her heart? Had her mother even arranged this visit to see Edith through the difficult time? She felt her face burning. But she was growing steady! The horrible laugh was receding down her throat. Her limbs were stopping their trembling. She was not going to do anything unforgivable. And in a moment she marvelled to hear herself saying, wonderful! I--I'm glad--really I She would never get over being grateful that at that moment voices in the hall told them her mother was returning.

She knew she could not have spent another moment alone in that room with ica were "very much interested" in the forthcoming political council at which China's multiple problems will be up for settlement. Meantime, the government and the communists continued their battle of words, each accusing the other of fighting or preparing to fight in North China. The communists included an unconfirmed charge that government troops used poison gas November 2 in an engagement near Paoting, Hopeh province.

AURA LACEY, looking a little tired and apprehensive, came into the room followed by a tall, impressive looking man. Laura wore the blue chiffon dress and in spite of her fatigue looked very lovely.

At sight of Chris her face, her whole being brightened with revealing radiance and Edith thought in dismay, "Has it been so plain all the time, or did I just not want to see it?" "Ah, Chris, It's so good to see you again!" Laura smiled as he took her hand. "What a nice cosy party we'll make!" She turned to the tall man behind her. "Let me present Alan Crosby who has just given me some marvelous commissions for his new magazine, 'Calendar'!" Crosby smiled at Edith and shook hands with Chris. "Don't tell me," he begged of Laura, "that this lovely child is yours?" "Mine," smiled Laura, resting her head against Edith's dark one. "And by the way, I'm going to use her for a model for your magazine cover.

What do you think of that?" "Splendid! I'm sure the newsstands will be swamped. But it's late, I'd best be getting "No stay and chat a while. I want you to know these people The four of them sat around the brilliant little fire. Edith watched her mother curiously. Funny how she seemed almost like a stranger.

It seemed to her, with the new acuteness of perception she was acquiring, that there was something little feverish about Laura's determined gaiety. Was she afraid wondering worrying for fear Edith might love Chris, too? Had she been unable to hide her dreams from her mother who knew so well her every waking thought? It was late when Crosby finally did rise, glancing in surprise at his watch. "It's been pure witchcraft," he declared. "Time couldn't possibly go so swiftly, Thank you, Mrs. Lacey, for a very happy evening.

May I come again?" spend several days at the Wilkes' home. At Fulton Home Arrivals in Corvallis to spend the Christmas holidays at the home of Professor and Mrs. John F. Fulton, are their son-in-law and daughter, Dr. and Mrs.

Mrs. Payne the former Echo Read and both she and Mr. Payne, who is now in the service, attended Oregon State college. Laura gave him her most charming smile. "But surely, Mr.

Crosby- our latch-key is always out for our friends." Surprisingly she turned to Chris and said sweetly, "You'll run along, too, won't you, Chris. I'm very tired." Chris did not bother to hide his disappointment, but Laura's wish was his command. "You'll lunch with me tomorrow, then? Both of you?" "Call us in the morning," Laura said. They were gone and Edith and Laura were alone by the fire once more. They stood there awkwardly a feeling of difference between them.

Frightening, because it was so unusual, so strange. Finally Edith said bluntly, "Chris told me, mother!" Laura flushed, her hand went to her throat, and her eyes were on Edith's begging for approval. Edith put her arms around her mother. "If I hide my face in her neck she won't see how I look," she was thinking. "I'm glad, darling," she whispered into the golden hair.

"You'll be very happy. Chris Chris is the best ever!" But Laura could not be satisfied until she could look into her daughter's By an almost superhuman effort, Edith met her mother's gaze squarely. "It mustn't make any difference between us, Edith. I I couldn't bear that," Laura said, near tears. "It won't!" Edith said staunchly.

"Nothing could!" Knowing that nothing in all the world would ever be the same again, The radiance that spread over Laura's face was beautiful to see. "Then, darling, my happiness is complete!" It was she who buried her face now against her daughter's hair. "Oh, Edith," she whispered, "I love Chris so!" Yes, Edith thought whoever arranged it, I'm glad I'm going to Kentucky. Maybe I'll stay forever- But at Roselands, another La-Barbara, Whit's second wife, was troubled and unhappy over the fact of Edith's coming. To be continued Holiday Visitors.
