Vandenberg Starts
Squabble By Speech
On River Question
PARIS. Oct. 10. (U.R)—Russia
'was the target, of angry charges
by the British at the peace con-
ference today,
Foreign Secretary Hev in
threatened to refuse to sign the
Romanian peace treaty unless
Britain receives parity in Balkan
trade ami Danub ■ River naviga-
• :• .1' with ' it her pi >wers.
Addressing a plenary session
of the- conference on the Ro-
manian treats'. Kevin accused
Russia of undertaking "discrim-
inatory action" against; war-time
; iiies in trying to exclude West-
ern powers liom access to the
Danube.
lie said tie knew of nothing
that would do more to remove
Western suspicion of the Bast
than acceptance by the Soviet
Union of the principle of free
navigation of the Danube by all
nations,
lie called for a conference of
all Danubian states plus the Unit-
ed States and Krance to settle
the Danube issues.
American Senator Arthur Van-
lienherg started it off this morn-
jiig when lie rose to support.
American demands for interna-
tionalizing tile Danube'. The Sen-
ator argued that the Danube is so
important to the prosperity not
• ii v - a ,\t iddle Dun ipe nut of t he
world, that it is important to
tint it under the control of some
interna!ional authority.
'I'o back up in-- arguments.
Vandenberg pointed to the long
| history of the river, which has
been under some kind of inter-
national control for more than
100 Real's. He declared that to
abandon internationalization now
would lie a backward step.
The delegate from Yugoslavia,
Ktluard Kardelj. took just the
opposite view To Kardelj the
100 years of internationalization
has been 100 years of impprialist
domin.ition by powerful nations
over the comparatively small
countries of the Danube Valley.
The Yugoslav said: "It is high
time that these pernicious and
dishonor,able remnants of t h e
past be cleared from the Balkan;*
and tile Danubian Basin."
Czechoslovakia has joined Yug-
oslavia in opposition of the in-
ternationalization proposal.
The debate came tip in con-
nection with the peace treaty for
Romania, which i.- one of t h e
Danubian countries. The dele-
gates. who are operating tinder
their new streamlined rules, are
expected to complete voting on
the treaty tonight.
16 Planes Stage
Two Raids; All Out
Civil War Seen
KAI.OAX. Oct.. 10 (U.R)—Com-
munist officials report that Kal-
i gan, the second city of Commun-
ist China, was bombed twice yes-
terday with considerable loss of
life.
The leaders sa.v four plane.- !
staged the first raid at 8 a. m.
and 12 more dropped explosives
at noon.
The reported bombing was the
I first air attack on Kalgan since
j the Nationalists opened their cur-
j rent offensive against the strate-
I gic city.
I Oeneralissiino Chiang Kai-Shek
i has issued a mandate which puts !
the 300.000,000 Chinese in Na-
tionalist territory on a wartime
footing.
j The military have been put in
control of all civilian administra-
tion. and all men between IS and
15 are subject to the draft-
Many observers believe that i
| the government mandate is the I
i signal for all-out civil war
against the Chinese communists,
i and that it means an end to
i American (Jen tral George Mar-
j shalli peace mission.
: Chiang made an anniversary
j speech yesterday which some
thought to be conciliatory in
! tone. But the speech also blamed
| the Communist.- for the nation's
i11s. on - Communist, spokesman
call"d it just another ippeal for
unifiwitlon by force.
The non-Communist Liberals
In China have been invited to
- participate in the forthcoming
a-.-embly. at which Chiang's
Kuomintang party hopes to
draw opposition groups into the
Nationalist government, which
up to now has been a one-party
; affair. But the latest develop-
ments indicate the Liberals will
stay out of it.
A spokesman for the Demo-
cratic League said only yester-
day that tin' league would not
take part in the .assembly unless
Chiang's troops halt their drive
for the Communist center of Kai
i:an. in the heart of Inner Mon-
golia:
Reports indicate that the drive
for Kalgan continues. Th • Na-
tionalist troops are said to be
within eight miles of the Com-
munist bastion, and to be execut-
ing a pincers movement, with
columns approaching from the
north and south.

Where Is All The Meat? Leaders Seek Answer
By lkk han mi s
Administration leaders are run-
ning around in circles over the
meat situation. Conferences of
high M'-ups are going on almost
constantly in Washington.
£ Higher-ups frankly admit
• they're trying to find some way
to get livestock off ranches and
farms and onto the tables of
Voters in the form of meat- Demo-
cratic candidates for office in all
parts of the nation hope il nets

tion day
Mmost hourly, newsmen eov
e. nig developments in the battle
of "Where's the Meal" hear
'sonie rumor that sends them off
on a wild goose chase.
Oiv rumor that was quickly
spiked had it that de-control of
livestock had been ordered.
Secretary Anderson would be
the most grateful man in the
world if farmers and ranchers
would round up finished meat
animals ami rush tlietn to mar
k't.
As he came out of his office
late yesterday, Anderson found
a swarm of newsmen in his out
er sanctum. He smiled and
shrugged as reporters asked in
i chorus: "Where's the meat?"
I He turned to the newsman
w ho put this i|ue-tion; "Is it
true. \lr. Secretary, that you've
been in conference with Paul
Porter of OPA on th f meat sit-
uation'1"
Anderson deliberated a mom-
1 cm before he replied thai lie had
hi cn tn many eonlereiv?es on the
situation. H ■ det liupd to nanip
any of his consultants.
But this much is known: Here's

ficials fit's now the first order
