Published Every Moraine Except Monday PRICE saw CHANGCHUN FALLS TO CHINESE REDS IN BITTER FIGHT Pilot of Scouting Plane Sent to City Reports Last Government Strongpoint Is Burning. SEVEN AMERICANS IN CAPITAL SAFE Chiang Rushes Fresh Armies to Scene of Strife as Marshall Strives to Halt Civil War. Chungking, April 20. (Saturday) UP) A Chinese government spokesman acknowledged today that the Manchurian capital city of Changchun has been wrested from government troops by Chinese communists a fiery decision achieved as U. S.

General Marshall strove to halt China's renewed civil war. The spokesman's concession, made as two fresh government armies moved to the troubled Manchurian arena, followed a semi-official dispatch from Mukden, government-held Manchurian city, which tended to confirm previous communist claims of success at Changchun. The dispatch said the pilot of a scouting plane dispatched to Changchun yesterday returned and reported no further evidence of fighting, which had been bitter in the city's streets. The flier said the last government strongpoint within city police headquarters was burning. Chiang Without Details.

The government of Generalissimo Chiang Kai-shek was without details of the city's occupation. Changchun radio communication with China has been cut since 6 p. m. Thursday. Giving the first confirmation of the safety of seven Americans caught at Changchun, General Marshall's headquarters said today Chinese communists had formally requested permission for five TJ.

S. newemen and two II. S. army officers to leave the city. Chinese communists yesterday claimed Changchun's completed capture.

The officfal communist New China news agency announced that "liberation" of Changchun in a broadcast from Yenan, and communist headquarters here later published the same report. Yenan asserted that "communist- led local popular forces" last night had finished clearing Changchun of "Japanese and puppet troops and bandits" who had been committing "outrages" ever since the Russians withdrew Sunday night. Beds Holds feail Junction. Another Yenan broadcast said the communists still held the railway junction city of Szepingkai, 80 miles south of Changchun. The broadcast also charged that two planes bearing the American white- star insignia had "strafed" communist positions south of there.

But this report, too, was entirely without confirmation. The government on Monday announced capture of Szepinghai by Its American-equipped First army, which is marching north to Changchun, but which yesterday still was 75 route miles distant. General Marshall, special American envoy to China who flew hastily back to Chungking from Washington to try to halt the fracticidal warfare. was engrossed in a series of conferences with both sides. Marshall to See Marshall's headquarters had no Dew information on the military situation, but his conferences were described as important.

One, with T. Soong. president of the executive yuan, presumably dealt with negotiations for a United States loan to China. The heat with which the communists have opposed a loan, and which government officials have favored it, suggests its importance as a possible bargaining weapon in Marshall's bands.) Two other American moves remained to be fatted into the Chinese puzzle. It was disclosed that the 12-man American military liaison mission which had been in Yenan since 1944 had withdrawn from that communist stronghold on March 30.

making the communists a gift of its seven automobiles, some buildings, clothing. and radio equipment valued at several hundred thousand dollars. At the same time communist headquarters here announced that arrangements had been completed for American military experts to train communist officers in modern military practices pending unification of the communist and government armies.

Rights to Bases in Western Hemisphere Any Amendment Would Necessitate Talks to Negotiate New Agreement New Attacks Made on Proposed Advance. ScTED U. S. REDUCES CONSUMPTION 31 ARE INDICTED Washington, April McFarland, democrat, Arizona, claimed strong senate support today for his amendment to make the proposed $3,750,000,000 British loan conditional on permanent U. S.

rights to the western hemisphere bases now held under 99-year lease. His amendment, lying on the desk awaiting senate action, also would (1) eliminate provisions restricting the use of such bases to military and naval purposes, and (2) provide for peacetime commercial use by the United States of other U. S. built bases in the British empire and areas controlled by Great Britain. Failed in Committee.

McFarland told reporters his amendment failed of adoption in the banking committee by the relatively narrow margin of 7 to 11, and that he knows of additional support in the senate itself. It is generally conceded that any amendment of the loan authorization legislation would make necessary a new international conference to negotiate another agreement. With general debate on the measure only through its third day, is little likelihood that the senate will get around to considering specific amendments' before late next week. The senate heard fresh attacks on the loan proposal today from Senators Capehart, republican, Indiana, and Butler, republican, Nebraska, and the second installment of an opposition speech begun yesterday by Senator Langer, republican, North Dakota. Butler contrasted the proposed terms with those offered United States veterans.

Called Poor Business. "If we cannot afford to lend our returning veterans money at a rate of 2 per cent, with the first five years of interest cancelled, on a 55-year basis, with provision that they need not pay the interest when they find it difficult to do so--if we cannot afford to do that, how can we afford to do it for the British government?" he asked. Capehart said "we should not have to bribe England, or any other nation, to discontinue bad trade practices. It is not good business for us to make this loan, and it is not good business for Great Britain to accept it." Langer told four senators who stayed in the chamber during his speech that the British have cut tax rates in anticipation of the loan from the United States. U.

S. Breaks Up Ring Reported to Have Made Sales Totaling $3,000,000 Above Ceiling Prices. OPERATIONS REACHED INTO FIVE STATES Five Thousand Cars Figured in Transactions--Defendants Expected to Surrender Today. 12-DAY MEEKER STRIKE SETHED WORKERS GRANTED WAGE INCREASE--150 TO 200 RETURN TO JOBS MONDAY. A 12-day strike at the Meeker Company's leather goods plant ended yesterday under the terms of a settlement announced last night.

The 150 to 200 strikers will return to their jobs Monday and production will be resumed. The settlement was reached at a conference between management and a committee from the International Ladies' Handbag, Luggage, Belt and Novelty Workers' Union, and attorneys on both sides. It was announced that the company agreed to enter into a working contract with the union which grants the workers wage 'increases on a piece work sliding-scale basis. The minimum wages will range from 50 to 65 cents an hour, grading upward. The announcement said it is an open shop contract.

Litigation to Be Dropped. Pending circuit court litigation resulting from the strike it to be dismissed under the agreement. A temporary injunction restraining the strikers from interfering with free passage into and out of the plant is pending, as are contempt of court precedings against five women strikers. The strike started April 8 with a sit-down strike, and the plant had been picketed since that time, with production virtually cut off. There were allegations of violence on both sides in the first few days of the strike, preceding issuance of the injunction.

Police also were kept at the plant. Indications that a settlement was near were seen yesterday when hearings on the injunction and the contempt proceedings were continued by agreement, anci when pickets withdrew from the plant. Hours of conferences followed until the settlement was effected. CAR TURNS OVER; EX-SOLDIER KILLED FOUR BIDING WITH GOODMAN MAN ESCAPE INJUBY IN WRECK ON CURVE. CHAPLIN PUTS ON MAKEUP FIRST TIME IN YEARS Anderson, April Metcalf, 30 years old, of Goodman, was killed instantly about 2:30 o'clock, this afternoon when the car he was driving overturned at the south edge of town.

Four persons riding with Metcalf, two of them small children, escaped serious injury. K. M. Humphrey of Pineville, McDonald county coroner, who investigated, said Metcalf, a recently discharged soldier, his brother, George Metcalf, Mrs. Hazel Schmidt Mrs.

Schmidt's two children, all of Goodman, were riding in a coupe that overturned when it rounded a slight curve at the south edge of Anderson. Two Children Thrown Out. The car was traveling at a high rate of speed, the coroner said. Delmer Metcalf, Humphrey said, and two children were thrown out of the car which overturned five of six times. The wrecked machine came to rest in the center of the rcsd.

Of the occupants, only one suffered injuries that required hospitalization. Jenith Ann Schmidt, 14 months old, daughter of Mrs. Schmidt, suffered a severe bump on the head and face bruises. She was taken to Sale Memorial hospital in Keosho for treatment. The name of the other child was not immediately available.

Informed quarters expressed the view 'Cnf-A Russia. France and Mexico, supporters of Lange's reso- I lutioa, would fan in line. Detroit, April persons were indicted by a federal grand jury today as the office of price administration claimed to have smashed a black market in used motor cars involving sales totaling $3,000.000 above ceiling prices.

The U. S. district attorney's office said most of the defendants, who live in Michigan, Kentucky, Illinois and Missouri and allegedly oparated in five other states, were expected to surrender next week. All were charged with conspiring "feloniously" to violate price regulations in a scheme in which, the OPA said, 5,000 cars were funneled out of Detroit to buyers who paid an average of $600 above ceiling prices. More Indictments Probable.

Joseph C. Murphy, assistant U. S. attorney, said no additional indictments would be returned in Detroit, but that others "probably will be handed down in other sections of the country." The OPA charged similar illegal operations had been carried on in Washington, D. Indianapolis, and Cincinnati.

These were not Involved in today's indictment. Of the defendants named today only one was identified as an authorized or "warranty" dealer. Their dealings, U. S. Attorney John C.

Lehr said, extended into Texas, Arkansas, Mississippi, Tennessee and Louisiana. Fraudulent certificates of transfer were given local ration boards, the indictment said. The OPA, terming today's crackdown the largest of its kind in the agency's history, said 15 of its special investigators have been working on the case since September 15, 1945. Fake Auctions Alleged. The ager.cy credited Charles O.

Bannon, assistant chief of tho division of special investigation at the Cleveland, regional office, with breaking the ring that OPA with breaking the ring. The indictment charged the 31 defendants with buying used cars in Detroit above ceiling prices, moving them to Cairo, 111., and Murray, and disposing of them, again above ceiling, at fake auctions to dealers from southern states. The maximum penalty upon conviction is two years' imprisonment and a $10.000 fine for each of the defendants, according to the U. S. attorney's office.

The OPA said the Cairo "mam- spring" was operated by "one established dealer," while that at Murray was run by a dealer." The OPA. in a prepared statement, listed a numbsr of allegations upon which the indictment was basetL "Spottcrs" Used by Rinjr. The ring employed "spotters." the agency said, who ha'ted motorists on streets to bny their cats. It labeled "most brazen" the of a defendant aliened to have followed a motorist into church and arranged during services to buy his car. The OPA said that 2,500 cars were "definitely" boucht by the ring in Detroit, and estinvl'vl that another 2.500 left the Detroit market in the same manner.

An svcr- age of $609 was paid in excess of ceiling prices for of these cars, the agency added. The ring began as a Jcsitimate auction syndicate. OPA went on. fotnf of whose in Detroit war pl-nls. Later the auction bec-iinc, in oT 1he indictment, "pritended" and, the OPA said.

TO MEET STARVATION THREAT ABROAD COAL OPERATORS WILL BE CALLED BACK TO CAPITAL OF WAR POISONED GERMANS IN AMERICAN CAMP MADE ILL BY ARSENIC IN THEIR BREAD. Frankfurt, Germany, April hundred German i prisoners of war were poisoned by I arsenic in their bread early this week in an American camp and all are "seriously ill," U. S. headquarters announced tonight.

The mass poisoning struck down the prisoners in Stalag 13 near Nuernberg, but no deaths were reported. Colonel S. T. Williams of Denton, a regimental commander, said the poison was found on the crust. He said the arsenic might have been on shelves against cockroaches and thus have gotten on the bread.

Bread From German Bakery. The bread for captured soldiers was obtained from a local German bakery by contract "in accordance with normal procedures," the announcement said. Police stood guard at the bakery to prevent German civilians from buying any bread there. Counter-intelligence agents searched the area to determine whether any German civilians had been stricken. The first German soldier became ill Monday shortly after the weekly bread ration was delivered from the bakery and distributed to the men, Colonel Williams said.

Late Monday the number of men taken ill increased as the former soldiers began eating their ration. The number soared until Wednesday, when the cause was determined and the prisoners were told not to eat their remaining bread, Williams said. Military police guards then were sent to the bakery, but were withdrawn this afternoon. German police remained on duty at the shop. Williams said the army would permit the bakery, now under supervision, to deliver its weekly ra- tion again next Monday, pending conclusion of an inquiry started by the counter-intelligence corps and agents of the theater provost mar! shal.

Lewis and the soft coal operators back into contract negotiations to end the 19-day bituminous mine strike.

Meanwhile, the number of workers in associated industries made idle by the coal strike reached nearly 60,000, with the prospect of further lay-offs. The principal industries affected were steel mills and coal carrying railroads. Situation Called "Grave." The seriousness of the situation in the steel industry was pointed up by an assertion by Benjamin F. Fairless, president of U. S.

Steel Corporation, that only an early end to the coal strike can prevent "inevitable" shutdown of all the company's steel-making operations. In a statement issued in New York, Fairless estimated 402,000 tons of steel had been lost by his company because of the coal strike and declared that U. S. Steel and thousands of manufacturing plants dependent on its production face a "grave situation." "The rapidly increasing shortage of steel already has forced drastic curtailments in many of the nation's largest manufacturing plants and many thousands of workers are idle," Fairless said. "In the case of U.

S. Steel subsidiaries alone, 28,000 employes already are on a part time basis because of the coal strike. Seen as Danger Signal. "The apparent collapse of the coal negotiations in Washington within the last 48 hours is a danger signal for the country. Only an early resumption of coal mining can prevent a disastrous effect upon employment and production for a large part of America's industrial machine." Fairless said that steel-making operations in U.

S. Steel's largest Pittsburgh district subsidiary, Carnegie-Illinois Steel Corporation, will be reduced to 26 per cent of capacity next week and in the plants of the Chicago district to 40 per cent. Carnegie Illinois operated at an estimated 40 per cent this week. Schweilenbach disclosed his per- sojjal entry into the conciliation attempts after a cabinet meeting at which the coal strike presumably was discussed. He said he will call the operators back to Washington next week, and suggested he may invite them to meet with him Monday or Tuesday.

The labor secretary will confer with John L. Lewis and his United Mine Workers negotiating committee at a separate meeting, he said. Lewis is due to address the an-. Ihracitf tri-district convention Wednesday at Hazelton. at which plans be made lor terminating the contract covering hard coal miners.

RUSSIAN ACTIVITIES TO BE INVESTIGATED Edwin Pauley to Find Out What Jap Assets Were Kemovcd From Knrea and Mnnch'iria. Washington, April retary of State Byrnes announced today that Edwin W. Pauley, President. Truman's reparations expert, will go to the Orient to find out what Japanese assets the Russians have removed from Manchuria and from Korea.

Asked whether Pauley would be able to get into the Russian-controlled area of Korea, Byrnes told a news conference that, at least, was Pauley's mission. Pauley, he related, had been denied entrance to Russian-controlled Manchuria during his previous visit to the Far East, but Byrnes expects that with the Russians evacuating the territory he will have no difficulty getting in now. Byrnes said Pauley is going back to finish the work he started some months ago. American authorities have contended that Russia had no right to remove Industrial equipment from Manchuria, particularly. The Soviet government has ignored the latest American note on the matter.

SHARING OE Fllllf) ASKED DY TRUMAN PBESIDENT SAYS MANY ARE DYING FROM HUNGER NOW IN EUROPE AND Washington, April Truman appealed to Americans tonight to share their food with the world's hungry people because "a sound world order can never be built upon a foundation of human misery." Mr. Truman made his plea in a nation-wide broadcast. On the program with him were former President Herbert Hoover, speaking from. Cairo, and Secretary of Agriculture Anderson and UNRRA Director Fiorello La Guardia. Declaring that America is faced with a solemn obligation, Mr.

Truman eaid there can be no doubt that many people are dying of hunger now in Europe and Asia. The government, he said, is taking strong measures to export a million tons of wheat a month. But the people themselves, he said, must sacrifice so that others may live. People Urged to Save Food. "Millions will eurely die unless we eat less," the chief executive said.

"Again I strongly urge all Americans to save bread and to conserve oils and fats. These are the most essential weapons at our disposal to fight famine abroad. "Every slice of bread, every ounce of fat and oil saved by your voluntary sacrifice, will help keep starving people alive." Hoover, on a world tour to survey food conditions for the famine emerge committee, set out a six- point plan to help famine-scoured peoples'. He proposed that Britain, Latin America and Russia help provide more wheat- Appeals to Farmer. La Guardia appealed "desperately" to the American farmer to supply the wheat for export to keep people from dying.

Mr. Truman spoke briefly, introducing the half hour program over all major radio networks. He said messages sent back by Hoover had driven home "the desperate plight" of people abroad. "Lonjr ago," he said, "we promised to do our part. JCow we cannot ignore the cry of hungry children.

Surely we will not turn our backs on the millions of human beings becginj: lor just a crust of bread.

The government order, effective at 12:01 a.

m. Monday, was announced by Secretary of Agriculture Anderson in a nation-wide-all-network radio broadcast in which the president also participated, along with former President Herbert Hoover, speaking from Cairo, and UNRRA Director Fiorello La Guardia. The 25 per cent cut in flour consumption waft part of a six-point program to get food for export. The flour limitation order will cover a period ending June 30, Anderson said. Hoover Urges Set-Asides.

Hoover, apparently uninformed in advance of the mandatory steps announced simultaneously with his verbal report on faminine in Europe, urged measures to bring about virtually the same end. He suggested that the government get the food it needs as it did in wartime, when there were mandatory set- asides. Hoover called on Britain, Russia and Latin America to help out, too. La Guardia appealed "desperately" to farmers to furnish the needed wheat The next 90 days, he said, "will mean eternity for a great many who are now on the brink of death." Mr. Truman, in a brief address introducing the other speakers, asking every American to eat and to share his food, declared: "America cannot remain healthy and happy in the same world where millions of human beings are starving.

A sound world order can never be built upon a foundation of human misery." Anderson's Program. Anderson's program for meeting the need outlined by the chief executive was this: 1. Millers will be required to'limit domestic distribution of flour to 75 per cent of the amount they delivered in the corresponding months last year. This order becomes effective at 12:01 a. m.

Monday. 2. The government will offer farmers a bonus of 30 cents bushel of what delivered to the government by May 25. The bonus is 1 designed to entice upwards of 1,600,000.000 bushels of wheat off farms during the current world famine crisis. 3.

The government will offer to buy 50,000.000 bushels of corn from fanners at a bonus of 30 cents a bushel over current ceiling Corn obtained under the bonus would be resold to feeders sad processors in urgent need. 4. Food manufacturers will be required to limit their use of wheat in the manufacture of products for domestic human consumption to 75 per cent of the quantity used in the corresponding of 1945.
