Tremont and FACES NEW HURDLES Elevated Consent Sought for Huntington-Av Line The next step in obtaining the Huntington-av subway extension is approval of the board of directors of the Boston Elevated, which is expected to be obtained at their next meeting on Thursday.

The project which on Monday received the backing of the Boston City Council, must yet pass through the State Emergency Finance Board, the Governor and the Executive Council, the department of Public Utilities and the W. P. before it gains final clearance. Boston W. P.

After the President's FLORIDA CANAL OPPOSED AT HOUSE BOARD HEARING WASHINGTON, April 15 (A P) The House Committee on Rivers and Harbors recessed its Florida Canal hearing today after listening to railroad representatives testify the short water route would not produce a reduction in transportation rates. Chairman Mansfield, Dem, of Texas, called another meeting for Monday morning, but some committee members said the canal testimony might not be resumed until Tuesday. Mansfield agreed to hear a few witnesses on the Bonneville Dam in Oregon, although officially the committee's hearings on that project originally set for Monday, was postponed to a later date.

Ar 5 ChatiDfer xk Tremont and West Streets Jv am a woman," I retorted, "but I am speaking not as a wife trying to save her husband's life. If it is necessary that the Generalissimo should die for the good of the country, I would be the first one to sacrifice him; but, to my mind, to use military force and to attack and bombard Sian would not only endanger the life of the Generalissimo, who is the universally recognized leader of the country, but would also cause untold misery and suffering to thousands of innocent civilians, as well as waste our military force, which should be conserved for national defense. Let us see whether or not any channels are open through which we may come to a peaceful settlement Peaceful Means First "Believe me, gentlemen, when I tell you that I am making this appeal to you, not as a woman thinking of the safety of her husband, but as a citizen taking a dispassionate and realistic attitude to secure the least costly solution of a grave national problem. In no circumstances would I hesitate to sacrifice myself and my husband if such a sacrifice could be of the least benefit to the nation. "But what you are proposing today actually endangers the life of the Generalissimo, and since, in the minds of the people, as well as in my own mind, the Generalissimo's safety is inseparable from the continued unity, and even existence, of the nation itself at this critical period of our history, no effort should be spared to secure his safety by peaceful means.

"Place the armies in position if you so desire, but do not fire a single shot; meanwhile, let us use every effort to secure his release. If peaceful means fail, then it is not too late to use force. Opposition on All Sides When I added that I would personally fly to Sian to see what might be done, my suggestion was received with stern disapproval. 1 met opposition on all sides. Rumors were repeated that blood and fire and disaster were predominant at Sian.

The pessimists and the advocates of action were sure that the Generalissimo would be killed, if he were not already dead. I was told that my going would be futile; that I would risk my life unnecessarily; that I would be captured and tortured to make my husband submit to demands; that I would be held as a hostage, and, at very least, that I would complicate matters. Hard to Be Philosophic It was difficult to be philosophic, difficult to hold on to faith, in the face of despair and despondency such at that which surrounded me. I failed to see eye to eye with the pessimists, but at times I asked myself if the end had really come to all our endeavor to help the people out of their trials. I found myself wondering if our plans for national reconstruction and betterment were destined to crash about our cars.

I could not tell, but I held on to faith. More and more I am coming to know that it is "faith that moves mountains," and that if wrongs are to be righted we must have abiding faith in God and in our Fellow men. I was troubled because this was the only time in years that I had not gone with the generalissimo on his trips, having been prevented from doing so by sickness. I had the feeling constantly with me that if I had been in Sian this situation would not have developed. Thoughts of this nature were not, however, much of a mental comfort or con solation.

I i. 1 So ne-rc so young, so pay, $3 Continued jrom the First Page Those words, falling from the lips of Dr Kung, sounded ominous, even to one who has been long accustomed to peril and dangerous situations Nor did any news come for many hours, all telegraph and radio communications with Sian having been dislocated. I found that, while official circles had been astounded by the unexpected nature of the coup and were wrought up to a state of high tension, members of the standing committee of the Central Executive Committee and the Central Political Council had taken action. They had deprived Chang Hsueh-Liang, leader of the mutiny, of his position as a member of the Military Affairs Commision and concurrently acting commander-in-chief of the northwestern bandit suppression forces, and referred him to the Military Affairs Commission for severe punishment.

In a mandate they denounced him bitterly. "Made Hair Stand on End" Earlier in the day a circular telegram had come from Sian signed by Chang Hsueh-Liang, Yang Hu-Chen (Pacification Commissioner of Shensi) and their leading officers and bearing the alleged signatures of a number of Central Government officials then in Sian. In this tele-cram a number of charges were made which, the telegram said, made their hair stand on end." They said that they had "advised him (the Generalissimo) with tears, but were repeatedly chastised," and that they "therefore tendered our last advice to Marshal Chiang Kai-Shek, while guaranteeing his safety, in order to stimulate his awakening." They set forth a group of eight demands, described as "points of rational salvation," which they hoped the Nanking authorities would "stdop" to adopt "so as to open one line of life for the future." The eight points called for the reorganization of the Nanking Government: the cessation of civil war (which clearly referred to the anti-Communist campaign); the immediate release cf several members of the National Salvation Association who had been arrested in Shanghai; the release of all political prisoners; the removal of restrictions upon patriotic movements; the granting of free speech to press and assemblies of people; the carrying out of the will of the late Dr Sun Yat-Sen; and the immediate convocation of a Na-, tional Salvation Congress. Rebel Demands This was the situation, wrapped in increasing excitement and concern, as we found it when we reached Nanking Sunday moring, Dec 13. I was brought face to face with a national situation, vibrant with passion and fantastic possibilities, and in which I had a grave personal interest.

I quickly was to learn that I was regarded as a woman who could not be expected to be reasonable in such a situation, but I more swiftly realized that if a commonsense solution was to be sought I must assert my views and insist upon a sane line of-action being taken. Opposing Military Leaders "While expressing misgivings as to the wisdom of hastily penalizing Change Hsueh-Liang before the full facts of the situation were known. I was faced with a much more serious problem to wit, what looked to me like an unhealthy obsession on the part of leading military officers who asserted that they felt it their inexorable duty to mobilize the military machine forthwith and launch an immediate punitive expedition to attack Sian. To my mind this was a point of view that was intolerable. It may be that military requirements necessitated such a thing, and that the generalissimo expected it, but I was completely unable to reconcile myself to it.

So, rightly or wrongly, I decided to fight it and strive for a quick, calm, and bloodless settlement of the" whole affair. Before 8 a m. I telegraphed Cbang Hsueh-Liang that Mr Donald (an Australian.my husband's close friend was flying that day to Sian. Mr Donald also telegraphed, and we hoped for an early reply. We sought news everywhere, but there was a complete absence of it.

All around me there was excitement; there were all manner of spec-" ulations as to possible happenings, ALABAMA CO BARRED FROM FIGHT ON T. V. A. BIRMINGHAM. Ala.

Firmly I believed that only sincerity and truth could establish lasting foundations; and that kind of diplomacy which depended for success upon obtaining advantages through shrewdness and skilled double-dealing had never had any appeal for me. Sian has considerably deepened that conviction. I could not shake off the feeling that there was a way out of what then looked to be a black, ugly and desperate situation, if I could only make people see it. So I argued for restraint before cutting off possibilities for peaceful settlement; for the exploration of all possible avenues to obtain the release of the Generalissimo before launching an attack and thus condemning him to death at the hands of angry soldiers or people, if not by the bombs and bullets of his own troops. The Military Mind But I found myself running full tilt into the military mind in full panoply for action.

I was told that the Generalissimo should not have risked his life in such an unwise and unnecessary way. I retorted that, if the Generalissimo is worthy of his position he should risk his life whenever necessary. "It should not be his business to look after his personal safety," I pointed out "since his only consideration is for the welfare of his country and his whole time is absorbed with national affairs. Rather, it is the duty of his subordinates and people around to see to it that he is adequately protected. If he thought of his personal safety above everything else, then he would net be worthy of being the leader of the country." "To uphold properly the prestige of the National Government," it was stated, "requires a display of force forthwith." Willing to Die "At this period of national crisis there would and could not be any National Government" I replied, "without the Generalissimo.

Aside from him, just mention the name of a man who has the qualities and character of a national leader." "Anyway, the Generalissimo is already dead," said some. "What is the life of one man compared with that of the state?" asked another. "She is a woman pleading for the life of her husband," was one taunt repeated to me.

Another Shipment of (Eha and there were all the shouting and the thunder that can be imagined in such circumstances. Nor did I know then that telegraph communications I with Sian had been interrupted, Trying to Get At the Truth I had determined conferences with the nation's leaders.

I pleaded for calmness of judgment pending the receipt of definite news; for the avoidance of precipitate action, and for confidence in the spiritual resources of our people. I urged that the leaders in Sian, until pioved otherwise, should be taken at their word, but every effort should speedily be made to get at the truth. "Ferhaps they have a legitimate grievance," I hazarded. "And if one section of the country has a grievance against the Central Administration let us, in a spirit of humility, discover what that grievance is and do all in our power to put it right. After all, we are all Chinese don't lets fight if we can find a way out of it." Through Mr Donald I sent a letter to the Generalissimo in which I tried to comfort him with the thought that I knew that whatever he had done had always been for the sole purpose of benefiting the nation, saying that I commended him to God and that I would continue to pray for him.

To Chang Hsueh-Liang I wrote a long letter, pointing out the disastrous effects his action would have upon the unity of the nation, and my belief that he meant no harm to the country or to the Generalissimo by his imprudent and impetuous action, but that he should retrieve himself before it was too late. The duties of the Generalissimo had automatically been assumed by the Minister of War, and he took over the air force; but despite this I went ahead with the plans for reorganization of the Commission on Aeronautical Affairs. Not only was the work vital, but it provided me with activity and mental and physical escape. Feeling a Way Out Around me it was already being whispered that my husband was dead, or that, if he were still living, he certainly never would escape from Sian alive. In my presence people were thoughtful, gracious, and sympathetic; but behind my back, during the next few days, the atmosphere was heavy with pessimism.

Universal condemnation of the Sian leaders was unrestrained. From the beginning, it was my technical about what he said. He explained briefly how the company had won a reputation for its product based upon quality and performance. This was amplified by a moving picture, "Human Mileage," showing how General tires contribute to highway safety. He explained the need for using the proper sizes nd how mileage costs are saved.

It is necessary that drivers know how to mount dual wheel tires properly, he stated. How improper dual tire matching is costing more money than operators realize due to wear and blowouts by this one thing alone was explained. It is always best to put the worn tire on the inside to prevent ex cessive wear to the good one, he told them. Speaking on passenger car equipment he was emphatic in stating that legislation more than safety talks and enforcement is necessary to prevent motor accidents. He told about the new law Pennsylvania put into effect recently as the kind of legislation needed.

Under that statute if there is not one-eighth inch of non-skid tread showing on a tire, the police stop the driver. He is not allowed to go again until he gets a new tire or one that meets the one-eighth-inch law. He said the Interstate Commerce Commission is now taking it up for vehicles used under its regulations. Mr Gable said that any driver of a truck or car from another state that goes into Pennsylvania with worn tires will be stopped. Other states will follow and that will be a help, he predicted.

Too many motorists pay little attention to automobile laws these days and it is time they were forced to do so, he said. Lost, One Shirt Laundryman I'm sorry, but one of your shirts is lost.
