Critical Situation
Seen in Manchuria
WASHINGTON. March 16 — (PP) sia or Russian policies in China
Marshall disclosed although when he was asked
whether he knows whether the
Russians actually are evacuating
Manchuria at the present time he
said the United States has no ob-
servers in there and reiterated
that he considered the situation
in that country critical.
An army of American-trained
Chinese troops, the best in China,
is "now embarking for Manchuria,"
presumably on American ships, in
order to take over control there,
he said. Meanwhile minor clashes
involving Communist groups are
going on in that country and there

Wisconsin Progressives meet
Sunday to decide their future
course. The betting odds are
strong that the party that grew
out of the senior Robert M. Lafol-
lettes unsuccessful bid for the pres-
idency as a progressive will join
with the Republicans for this
year's campaign.
That will leave Lafollette offi-
cially registered with the senate
as a progressive until his term ex-
pires next January.
But friends say there is little
doubt that he will enter the Re-
publican senatorial primary Al-
though most of the present Wis-
consin GOP leaders have made it
pretty plain they don't want him
back in the party. If he is denied
the Republican nomination, friends
don't think Lafollette will, run as
an independent.
Lafollette started his senate
career as a Republican when he
was elected in 1925 to succeed his
late father He was re-elected on
the GOP ticket in 1928, but in 1934
and 1940 ran successfully on the
Progressive ticket
He is the top minority member
on the powerful finance and labor
committees and second to Senator
