Peiping May Be Next
Peiping may be the next big
city attacked by the infuriated ,
Reds, whose leader, Mao Tze-
tung, only yesterday laid down
an eight-point peace program and
punctuated it with the boast that
more military victories would
bring Chiang’s government to its
knees.
The reaction of officialdom in
Nanking to his eight “peace
terms,” according to James D.
White, Associated Press corres-
pondent there, was to vanish into
meetings including one of the
cabinet.
The Communist radio Friday
broadcast the terms for peace—
punishment of “war criminals”
including President Chiang,
knock out the constitution, junk
the Kuomingtang (Chiang’s par-
ty), split up the army and set up
a Red dominated government.
Within a few hours after Na-
tionalist resistance collapsed, the
Reds extended their control over
all of Tientsin.
Communications Broken
Full details of the capture of
China’s foremost industrial city,
which was the headquarters of
U. S. marines when they landed
in, China at the end of the war
with Japan, were hidden by a
complete breakdown of communi-
cations between the city and out-
side points late in the day.
From Peiping, Associated Press
Correspondent Spencer Moosa
messaged that the situation in
Tientsin underwent a rapid
change on Friday.
Almost at the same hour that
Fu’s headquarters there jubilant-
ly proclaimed the pick of Lin’s
army had suffered 40,000 casual-
ties, the Reds started a march
which ended today on Victoria
road.
introduced a resolution in the
senate that would give voters a
chance to repeal the poll tax re-
quirement for voting.
“If the question is submitted
by the legislature and acted on fa-
vorably by the people, the pro-
posed federal amendment would
have no practical effect in Tex-
as,” Gov. Jester said yesterday.
Senator Kelley’s proposal car-
ries with it authority for the leg-
islature to erfact a registration
law when the poll tax is abol-
ished as a voting requisite. Gov.
Jester says the registration law
should come first.

DURBAN, Union of South Af-
rica, Jan. 15 (TP)—Terrified In-
dians fled from Durban today as
race rioting which already has
claimed an estimated 300 lives
blazed up in the suburbs.
. The fighting, between native
blacks and the Indians, a minor-
ity group in South Africa, has
been in progress since Thursday.
Indians and natives alike have
been burned and stoned to death
and shot.
Intervention by South African
armed forces has slowed but not
halted the rioting.
At least 400 persons have been
injured. One European (white)
was killed and a dozen were in-
jured. They have not, however,
been generally involved in the
rioting . Damage was estimated at
$1,000,000.
Police organized areas of ref-
uge for the Indians, who was im-
migrants or descendants of im-
migrants from the Asian sub-con-
tinent.
Reinforcements Arrive
More than 200 police reinforce-
ments have arrived in Durban.
Five radio cars and 100 policemen
already have been sent from Pre-
toria by air.
Before the new flareup in the
suburbs, the district police com-
mandant for Durban said the po-
lice and military and naval per-
sonnel had the situation well in
hand. It was the first time South
African military units have been
summoned to help quell racial
violence. ‘
Whole streets of stores and
houses have been burned down
or looted: Hundreds are destitute
or homeless.
Defense Minister F. C. Eras-
mus wired Durban that if the sit-
uation grew worse he would pro-
claim a state of emergency.
The South African air force
was held in readiness to move
extra police to Durban.
The Indians involved, a minor-
ity group in South Africa, are im-
migrants and the descendants of
immigrants from India.
Guns and stones, fire and clubs
have been used in the clashes
over the last 48 hours.
300 Are Injured
The injured totaled more than
300 and hundreds of others are
destitute and homeless.
The rioting broke out Thurs-
day, when a young native boy
was injured by an Indian mar-
of Dimes drive. Near them is the cake marking Linda’s fourth birth- _____ ________ -

Loss Confirmed in Nanking
Confirmation of Tientsin’s fall
came in messages received in
Nanking, where the blow to the
Nationalist cause is certain to
have terrific repercussions.

cause he had not paid a poll tax.
“The proposal at Washington
does point up the urgent neces-
sity of providing an adequate
registration law for Texas. If the
poll tax were repealed as a
means of identifying eligible vot-
ers, under present statutes Texas
would have no means of compil-
ing voters’ lists,” he said.
The governor in his message to
the 51st legislature this week
suggested submission of the ques-
tion of poll tax repeal to the vot-
ers. Less than an hour later Sen-

RHODES, Jan. 15 (AP) — Egyp-
tians began negotiations today for
the release of an estimated 3,000
Egyptian troops trapped by Is-
raeli forces at Faluja, in Pales-
tine’s Negev desert.
This was the second major item
on the agenda for armistice nego-
tiations aimed at ending Israeli-
Egyptian warfare and bringing
full peace to the Holy Land.
Both sides agreed yesterday in
conferences under the eye of Dr.
Ralph J. Bunche, the United Na-
tions acting Palestine mediator, to
halt all offensive military opera-
tions during the period of the
talks and to respect each other’s
national security.
Spokesmen said details of the
armistice preamble adopted yes-
terday would not be made public
until the discussions end—per-
haps next week.
Point No. 2 of the agenda calls
for implementation of the secur-
ity council resolution of. Nov. 4
and Nov. 16, which ordered both
Jews and Arabs to withdraw to
positions held Oct. 14 and to ne-
gotiate for peace.
The withdrawal order to the
Egyptians actually was just a ges-
ture. Jewish troops had driven
them back, mile after mile, since
launching their Oct. 15 offensive
and were hammering at Egyptian
border positions when cease fire
orders came last week.
May Sign Armistice
The Israeli delegation, headed
by Walter Eytan, came empow-
ered to sien an armistice in the
name of the Tel Aviv govern-
ment. Col. Mohamed Ibrahim Seif
Eddine’s Egyptian delegation is
authorized only to initial such a
pact and then submit it to Cairo
for signature.
The precise role of Abdel
Moniem Mustafa, former director
of political affairs for the Arab
league, caused some speculation
among conference observers.
A spokesman said he is an ad-
viser to the Egyptian delegation
and head of the Egyptian foreign
office’s Middle East division. He
does not attend sessions and is
rarely seen with the Egyptian
delegates.
Marshall and Wife
To Puerto Rico
For a Vacation
PINEHURST, N. C., Jan. 15 (AP)
Ailing Secretary of State George
C. Marshall and Mrs. Marshall
left by plane today for a vaca-
tion in San Juan, Puerto Rico.
The general was in good spirits
as he left his resort home here.
He told friends that “I’m going
there for a rest.”
They boarded an air force
Constellation plane at Pope field,
Fort Brag, about 9 a. m. (CST).
With him were Sgt. Jim George,
the general’s attendant, and Mrs.
Marshall’s Chinese maid, Anna.
Gen. Marshall is recuperating
from a recent kidney operation.
The Marshalls said they planned
to remain at San Juan for several
weeks. They will be housed at
Tenth Naval district headquar-
ters.
Arrangements for the “vacation
trip” were made while the gen-
eral was a patient in Walter
Reed hospital last December. He
said today that President Tru-
man suggested the trip.
Onlv last Wednesday, Presi-
dent Truman made a surprise
flight here to visit the ailing gen-
eral. The president’s aides said
at that time it would be the last
chance the president would have
to talk in person with the secre-
tary before the latter’s resigna-
tion becomes effective.
FORT WORTH LIVESTOCK
FORT WORTH, Jan. 15 (P)—
The week’s receipts of livestock
at Fort Worth were considerably
below the previous week, but
supplies of most classes at 12
markets showed increases.
Bad weather the fore part of
the week cut receipts sharply .
causing a sharp runup in prices
on most cattle, and calves, but as
receipts neared normal number
later in the week most of the ad-
vances were erased.

AUSTIN, Jan. 15 (TP)—Gov.
Beauford H. Jester considers as
an “urgent necessity” an ade-

voters.
The governor said yesterday
that Texas is “out in front” in
removing poll tax restrictions
from its ballot boxes but that
lack of a registration law might
leave the state in quite a plight.
The comment was. aimed at re-
ports from Washington that a
proposed U. S. constitutional
amendment would prohibit states

FBI, army and navy intelligence
experts.
18-Months’ Probe
Their submission to congress
follows an 18-month investigation
by a special federal grand jury in
New York City into alleged for-
eign spying in this country, and
a lengthy and sensational innuiry
into the same subject by the
house un-A m e r i c a n activities
committee.
The attorney general made no
specific reference to the 1948 spy
hunt in his recommendations to
congress. But his proposals placed
heavy emphasis on measures de-
signed to prevent any future
filching of government informa-
tion.
Other Changes Sought
Besides the request for power
to get evidence by tapping wires
and by-pass the statute of limi-
tations in SDV cases he asked
changes in the esnionage law to:
1. Make the unauthorized
possession of restricted govern-
ment documents a felony.
2. Require the surrender of
such documents to proper au-
thorities without demand.
3. Make illegal the unauthor-
ized handling of national de-
fense information which could
be used “to the advantage of
any foreign nation”—instead of
requiring intent to injure the
United States, as at present.
4. Punish failure to report
the loss, theft, “abstraction, de-
struction or unlawful transmis-
sion” of restricted information.
5. Punish conspiracies, in-
volved in the gathering, trans-
mission or loss of defense infor-
mation.
Registering Foreign Agents
6. Reauire the registration as
foreign agents of all nersons in
this country who ever received
instructions or training in espi-
onage and sabotage under a for-
eign government “or foreign po-
litical party.”
7. Make the failure to so reg-
ister a continuing offense—to
remove any possibility an of-
fender could fall back on the
three - year statute of limita-
tions.
8. Require the surrender of
. radio, telegraph and other com-
munications records to authoriz-,
ed agents of the government in
connection with investigations
involving the national security.
9. Make permanent the war-
time law providing $5,000 fine
and one year imprisonment for
violating military orders aimed
at nrotecting the nation’s air-
craft, airfields, ships, harbors,
ports or other water front fa-
cilities.

By quickly, this spokesman
said, he means within a week.
Indonesian and Netherlands
representatives are studying a
rough plan for a settlement re-
ported drawn up by the United
States and backed by China, Nor-
way and Egypt so far.
The plan was said to have been
examined with interest by Brit-
ish delegates late yesterday while
the security council heard an-
other round of speeches in the In-
donesian case. The council ad-
journed until 2 p. m. (CST) Mon-
day, with no indication whether
a resolution would be placed be-
fore it at that time.
The United States plan was
said to contain these main points:
1. The Dutch and the Indone-
sian forces to discontinue im-
mediately all military action.
2. The Dutch to release im-
mediately all political prisoners
arrested since the latest mili-
tary action began last month.
3. The progressive withdraw-
al of Dutch troops from terri-
tory of the Republic of Indone-
sia. This commission would in
effect be a stronger version of
the present committee of good
offices, made up of the U. S.,
Belgium and Australia.
4. Establishment of a tempo-
rary federal government of the
United States of Indonesia by
March 15, 1949.
5. Elections by Oct. 1, 1949
to choose a constituent assem-
bly, out of which would come
the government of the U. S. of
Indonesia.
6. Transfer of sovereignty by
the Netherlands to the United
States of Indonesia not later
than April 1, 1950. All Dutch
forces would be out of Indone-
sia before that date.
Dr. J. H. Van Royen of the
Netherlands told the council his
government would not agree to a
council order to withdraw its
troops from Republican territory,
because there might be a danger
of renewal of disorders.
Van Royen said he hoped the
temporary government would be
instituted within one month; that
elections under U. N. supervision
would be held in the third quar-
ter of this year; and that the
transfer of sovereignty to a
United States of Indonesia would
be completed by Jan. 1, 1950.
Indict Four Men on
Cattle Theft Charges
GONZALES, Tex., Jan. 15 (P)—
The Gonzales county grand jury,
meeting in special session, last
nisht indicted four men on
charges involving cattle thefts.
The arrests were made Sunday
by Sheriff T. D. Kridler of Gon-
zales county. They were part of
what Texas Ranger Quincy J
Lowman said at Austin were ex-
pected to be a series of arrests
involving widespread cattle theft
activity in Central Texas.
Indicted on charges of cattle
theft were John Martin, 58, two
counts; Newt Harris, 28, six
counts, and John Richter, 22,
eisht counts. Clarence Smith, 21,
was indicted on two counts of re-
ceiving and concealing stolen
nropertv. The four men are from
Gonzales county.
Adolphus Brown, arrested at
the same time, has been turned
over to Fayette county officers.
Marvin Jones of La Grange is

Fog Blanket Over Texas
Lifting as Temperatures
Continue Rising Today
By The Associated Press
Skies cleared over Texas today as rising temperatures chewed
holes in a fog blanket that covered a great portion of the state.
• A mild weekend was in prospect—cool, clear weather for West
Texas and clouds with occasional showers in extreme East Texas.
An early morning fog belt that
ran roughly from Lubbock to
Lufkin was lifting, as was a simi-
lar belt along the gulf coast.
Temperatures generally were
pleasant.
This was the conclusion of a
week of bitter weather that
brought a great ice storm to West
Texas and poured sleet, snow and
freezing rain into the Panhandle.
Though Southwestern Bell
Telephone company men worked
feverishly to patch ice-wrecked
communications, lines were still
out today in many sections of
West Texas.
“We are glad to report,” the
weather bureau said, “that some
sections af the state are enjoying
nice, clear weather today.”
These fortunate areas were
listed as Lubbock, Amarillo, Clar-
