George Mong, embassy counselor, said that with two exceptions the entire embassy and consulate staff associated itself with the move. The exceptions were Ambassador Tien Tai, in a hospital recovering from injuries suffered in a recent motor accident, and Tuan Mao-lan, charge daffaires who arrived recently from London. The reported change-over by the embassy staff was the first move of its kind inja major diplomatic center since the Communists proclaimed the establishment of the Chinese people's republic.

The statement was Issued on the anniversary of 'the 1911 Chinese Revolution celebrated by the Nationalists. Because of the holiday, the embassy and consulate were closed, with no members of the staff on duty. The staff statement: The most tangible facts have convinced us that the principles of the new democracy are the only road to follow to construct the new China This means that, to accomplish in the shortest possible time and with the greatest effectiveness the reform of our society, the reconstruction of our economy and the 'rebirth of our culture, it ia absolutely necessary to found a popular democratic dictatorship on our Immense working and peasant classes, under the guidance of the Chinese Communist Party, in alliance with all democratic classes of the country.

Air Exodus Starts HONG KONG (UP) The Chinese Nationalist; government and several foreign legations have started fleeing to Chungking from the Communist-threatened provisional capital of Canton, reports reaching here said today.

Twenty transport planes packed with records and officials, six reportedly assigned to foreign legations, took off -from Canton this morning for Chungking and the Island fortress of Formosa. The Legislative Yuan adjourned its fall session in an emergency meeting late last night. Some 300 legislator will leave for Formosa tomorrow. Military reports said a Communist column plunging south along the railroad occupied Ylng-tak virtually without opposition and sent vanguard forces striking to within 50 miles north of Canton. 1 Cantons defenders hurriedly called two army corps from Hainan Island and the southeast coastal port of Swatow to stem the Communist onslaught.

The reinforcements were due to arrive in Canton today, a Reports from Nationalist sources said Nationalist deAnses before Canton crumbled when Nationalist troops, unpaid since August, went on strike and Withdrew from the fighting.

Crowd Cheers As Reservoir Starti To Fill More Than 500 See New Water Supply Officially Opened The long Job of filling Pittsfield $3,000,000 Cleveland Brook Reservoir In Hinsdale began shortly after 3 PM yesterday as a crowd of more than 500 watched ithe huge man-made lake receive the first of the 1.5 billion gallons that will eventually cover its 145 acres. While spectators cheered and cameras clicked, waters diverted from near-by Cady Brook and the East Branch of the Housatonlc River gushed out of a 78-inch pipe and swept down a concrete sluiceway into the. bed of the reservoir. an hour earlier, the first waters had been started on their way In brief ceremonies at the East Branch and Cady Brook, where a group of about 100 Dalton and Pittsfield officials watched the opening of the gates at the diversion dams that will supply most of the water. Biggest Project Complete The dedication marked the vir- tual completion of the biggest water project ever undertaken by the city.

In addition to the diversion dams and the reservoir, the project includes a main dam 1600 feet long and 530 feet thick at the base, a special chlorinator plant, and more than seven miles of pipe line to carry. the water from the Hinsdale site jto Pittsfield. When the reservoir is filled to capacity some time next spring, It will form the major source of water in the citys supply system and will free the city from any danger of drought or shortage within the foreseeable future. It win also make available for recreational purposes the waters of Onota Lake, which has been used as an emergency reservoir pending completion of the Cleveland Brook project Yesterdays ceremonies were carried out without pomp, circumstance or oratory, despite the presence of city councilmen and other public officials, who were brought up in a special bus from. City Hall.

The nearest thing to a speech took place at the Cady Brook dam, where Chairman William A. Whittlesey of the Special Board of Water Commissioners gave a one-minute explanation of how the water-diversion system operates. Former Mayor James Fallon, who initiated the Cleveland Brook project In 1945, took the first turns on the crank that opened the Cady Brook dam gates. At the East Branch gates, about a quarter-mile to the north. Mayor Capeless performed the honors.

The official party then proceeded to the reservoir, where a large crowd was already gathered on the banks of the sluiceway to watch the water come In. 1 The arrival of the water at the reservoir was somewhat behind schedule, but when it finally appeared it gushed out of the concrete pipe with impressive force It was heralded by a rumbling noise that began some 10 minutes before the water appeared, and became a good-sized roar by the time the swirling stream hit the sluiceway. 8 Statistics Cited A measure of how adequately the new reservoir will take care of Pittsfield's needs was contained in statistics supplied for yesterday's grand opening by the Special Board of Water Commissioners.

A Confirmation Postponed The sacrament of confirmation which was to have been administered by Bishop OLeary at St Charles Church this afternoon has been postponed Indefinitely. Bishop OLeary's 1 most recent visit to the Berkshire! was at St Peter's Church in Great Barrington when a new organ was blessed and dedicated last month. May, Garssons Denied Review By High Court WASHINGTON (UP) The Supreme Court today upheld, in effect, the bribery conviction of former Democratic Congressman Andrew J.

May of Kentucky and the Garsson brothers, wartime munitions makers. The court refused to review their appeal, so the ruling of a lower court becomes final. May was convicted of conspiracy by a federal district jury In July, 1947, along with Henry M. and Murray W. Garsson.

The Garsson brothers were found to have given May $53,634 in bribes as a result of the conspiracy. In return May was supposed to have used his influence in the War Department to get contracts for the Garssons. He was then chairman of the House Military Affairs Committee. All three were given jail sentences of from eight months to two years. Later the U.S.

Court of Ap peals for the District Of Columbia upheld the convictions. The men are free on $2000 bonds. May, now 74, served in Congress for 16 years. He did not seek re-election in 1946 after the committee began investigating the Gars-sonss munitions combine, which obtained more than $75,000,000 in war orders. French Socialist Seeks Premiership On Price-Pay Plan PARIS (UP) -Socialist strong man Jules Moch hammered out a compromise plan today on the price-wage Issue in an effort to get support enough to form a new French government.

But Moch faced a showdown meeting on the plan with the countrys wrangling, middle-of-the-road leaders who failed to agree on the price-wage issue and toppled the government of Premier Henri Queuille. If the meeting indicates there is a chance of agreement on the question, Moch would be able to tell President Vincent Auriol that he might be able to form a cabinet and end the five-day government crisis. But if the differences continue, Moch would advise the president to look for someone else. Moch met labor leaders and employers representatives this morning. He was expected to confer with party chieftains this afternoon and visit Auriol tonight.

New Hiss Trial Is Adjourned NEW YORK (S)1 The second perjury trial of Alger Hiss was adjourned today until Nov. 1. Federal Judge Vincent L. Llebell disqualified himself from ruling on Hiss application for a change of venue to the Federal Court in Rutland, Vt The judge said he could not rule on the request because a member of his family la employed by Time Inc. and had met Whittaker Chambers, Hiss chief accuser "once or twice.

Chambers is a former senior editor of Time magazine. The judge referred the argument for the change of venue to Federal Judge Alfred C. Coxe. The trial was -to have started today, with Hiss asking that the case be transferred from the New York City area. Hiss new attorney, Claude B.

Cross of Boston, asked Judge Lei-bell for a two-month adjournment He explained he had had only three weeks to study the 5000-page record of the first fflal. Assistant U.S. Attorney Thomas F. Murphy called this an unreasonable request He said the government wants to try the former State Department official as quick ly as possible." Judge Leibell said two months would be too long, but granted the shorter adjournment to Nov. 1 without prejudice.

He said a further delay could be asked If it really is needed. I Anti-Red Bloc Is Upheld in Austrian Vote Coalition Regime Will Continue 4Neo Nazis Gain VIENNA Austrian voters kept their nation lined up1 with the antl-Corrtrmmist countries of Eu-rope in a week-end parliamentary election marked by a decided up-aufge in rightist sentiment. final unofficial returns today revealed that Chancellor Leopold Flgla antl-Red coalition government had remained firmly in the saddle despite some loss of strength. That coalition, 'composed of the conservative Peoples Party and the Socialists, will continue to run the new government Figla People Party held its rank as Austrias biggest party, winning 77 seaLsin the 165-mem ber Lower House of Parliament. The Socialists of President Karl Renner won 67 seats, to give the government coalition an over whelming 144-vote bide in the chamber.

I Beds Gain One Seat Communists, who won only four seats in, the 1945 election, added one more in -Sundays voting. But their falure to make any appre clable gain led Chancellor Figl to proclam that the voting 1 gave clear and unmistakable proof that Austria is an outpost of the Western democratic world." On feature of the balloting was the emergence of the rightist League of Independents, a new party, as an important political factor with 16 parliamentary seats. The league, by Dr. Herbert Kraus, made open appeals during the campaign for the support of former Nazis. Its opponents accused the league of being sympathetic to Nazi ideas although Kraus himself lost his commission In the German army during the war because he criticized Nazi policy.

The League of Independents made Its gains at the expense of the Peoples Party, which dropped eight seats to lose the absolute majority it held in the last Parliament, and the Socialists, who lost nine scats. The league did not enter the 1945 elections, held when former Nazis were barred from voting. The unofficial final popular vote for the leading parties: Peoples Socialists 1,620,508. League of Independents 487,783. Communists 174,257.

Majority Lost The People Party polled 240,000 more votes this time than it did in 145. The partys loss of Its abso lute majority in Parliament is accounted for by the' fact that there were more than 900,000 new voters. Figl said the present Cabinet will resign tomorrow. President Renner then will ask Figl, as leader of the countrys strongest single party, to form a new government. He has saki he will continue the coalition with the Socialists, Austrians hope their new government will be destined to steer their country to full independence after seven years of Nazi goosestepping and four of Allied occupation.

That matter is not up to the Austrians themselves but to the Big Four powers who must stlU reach agreement on an Independence treaty for the country. Austria, flanked by Communist-governed nations of Eastern Europe, still is by Soviet as weU as by American, British and French troops. Viennas streets were empty of soldiers during thi election. Only a few minor pre-election clashes were reported. At Braunau, Adolf Hitler's blrhplsce, police said a Communist slightly injured a Peoples Party official with a knife.

An authorized U.S. official told reporters in announcing the results that "on balance what we gave it comparable to what we got, but that a full dollars and cents comparison with the $250,000,000 American concession is impossible just now. The $250,000,000 is the value of 1948 Imports of goods affected by the new reduction. The idea behind the reciprocal trade program I is to cut UJ5.

However, officials said that with Marshall Plan funds being Used to finance abnormal post war trade and with foreign quotas and other restrictions in force, the actual effects would ijave to be calculated in future years.

Five major remedies were proposed by Sir Herbert Bradley, deputy director-general of the UJ4.a Food and Agriculture Organization. Unless these are carried out, he told the annual Boston conference on distribution, the world will shape up into two or three self-contained groups and the threat of surpluses (of all kinds) in the dollar world will soon become a menacing social and political problem. He listed the remedies as: 1.

Maintaining high production and employment, especially in the U.S. 2. The reduction of trade restrictions which make it difficult for other countries to find a market in the U.S. 3. Higher productive efficiency in Europe, in order to supply the UB.

This year their annual session deals with trying to I figure out what kind of salesmanship is needed to make people buy goods that ar getting more plentiful every day. Sir Herberts speech was tied in with the worlds biggest distribution problem the scarcity of vitally needed goods, chiefly foods. In countries outside the U.S.

Other speakers also will talk on how the worlds greatest producing nation can distribute its goods. At the opening session today, A. W. Zelomek, president of the International Statistical Bureau, said he looks for continued Increases In American production and living standards. But, he said, he doubts that in the near future we ar quite ready for a broad and vigor-out revival of business activity.

A warning that the? industrial East is facing a new rival in the Pacific Coast States was given by Nathaniel H. Engle, professor of business administration at the Uni-versity of Washington. Not only are the states of Cali and Washington depending less and less upon the East for manufactured goods, he said, but they are invading it increasingly with merchandise and branch plants, This trend is being aided. Professor Engle declared, because national distributors have failed to evaluate fully recent changes in Western population and income and consequently have been slow to make necessary adjustments In quotas." So great has been the population Jump in the Pacific States, he notedthat the employment level la below that for the nation aa a whole, but new industries are mushrooming, and it is estimated that the 1960 per capita Income in the three states will be 16.7 per cent above the nation.

Unacceptably Vulnerable' They continued before the House Armed Services Committee the Navys barrage against a defense policy that puts ao much of military funds into the giant, alx-en-gine bomber.

Comdr. W. Martin, executive officer of the Pacific Fleet jtU-weather training unit at Barbers Point, Hawaii, likened the B-36 to a moving van. It is "unacceptably vulnerable to night fighter attack, he contended. Testimony that Navy jet fighters can intercept planes like the B-36 came from Martin, from Comdr.

W. N. Leonard, skipper of a Jet fighter squadron based on Cedi Field, Jacksonville, and from Comdr. Alfred B. Metsger of the Pacific Fleet Air Force.

And, Metsger said, it is jio secret that Russian fighters appear to equal or better, in fighting ability, the best in service in this country." As for detection, Lt. Comdr. oE. W. Harrison said radar can track rockets and reach the moon, so lt certainly can spot a high-flying bomber.

Adm. Arthur W. Radford led off for the Navy last week with a contention that the B-36 construction program -must be labeled a billion dollar blunder unless the plane can, as the Air Force contends, carry out bombing missions without detection and heavy losses. Radford said the claims are not true. Now other Navy men are giving supporting testimony on the general theme that too much of limited defense funds are going into the B-36 and too little into naval aviation.

Harrison, who is attached to the electronics division of the Bureau of Aeronautics, told the committee: We have, and can expect any potential enemy to have, radar equipment and interceptor aircraft capable of detecting, intercepting and bringing about the destruction of large, very heavy bombers regardless of how high they fly. Members of the committee have indicated deep concern over reports that Secretary of Defense Louis Johnson plans further cuts in spending for the Navy and its air arm. Representative Bates (R-Mass.) urged that Johnson be called before the committee and arked to give his detailed reasons for the cuts which Secretary of the Navy Matthews has said would damage national security. Johnson To Bo Galled Chairman Vinson said that of course we are going to get Johnson up here. Harrison told the committee that this country even has secret equipment that determines whether aircraft is friendly or enemy.

Radar, he said, is only one method for locating and identifying planes. At the end of the last war, Harrison said, engineers had the "know-how to build radar effective against big, hlgh-altitud bombers. And this information is in print, he said. Radar now is being developed to handle "the most modern high performance jet aircraft that we can foresee. Harrison said testa he knows about have not been made against the biggest bombers because they havent been available for that purpose.

But they have been conducted, he said, against much more difficult targets operating at 40,000 feet or more. Harrison said he knows of radar controlled Interceptions which have been made against small, high-performance aircraft at night and above 40,000 feet. The giant, six-engined, intercontinental B-38 is right in the center of the bitter wrangling that has split the armed forces. Top Navy officers have been telling the committee the national defense is lopsided because of emphasis on the B-36. They say the bomber typifies an unsound theory of warfare based on the atomic blitz and mast destruction of whole cities.

The Air Force previously has put up a strong argument that the B-36 is the best heavy bomber that ever came along, that it can crush in a days flight it might take land armies years to reach, i At this point, members of the Armed Services Committee frankly B-SC Continued Second Page Bay States Rep.
