U.S. Ambassador To China Resigns
Washington — (U.P)— J. Leighton Stuart, an "old China hand" who sought unsuccessfully to end China's civil war, has submitted his resignation as ambassador to Nationalist China, it was learned today.
The White House was expected to announce today the resignation of the 76-year-old missionary, educator, and ambassador.
Stuart became ill late in 1949, suffered a stroke, and never took his post on Formosa after the Chinese Nationalists had been driven from the mainland by the Chinese Communists.
During his long recovery in this country he helped in top-level state department policy discussions about China, but his health prevented him from taking a vigorous role.
A Connecticut junk dealer purchased for $2 in 1951 a 14-inch bust of Abraham Lincoln which has been appraised as being executed from life by Franklin Simmons and valued now at $15,000.

'Second Shepherds' Play To Be Presented Sunday
By JERRY KNUDSON
"The Second Shepherd's Play," written in the 14th century but performed before then, is unique among Christmas plays. This is the third annual Christmas production of the Lab theater, under the direction of Tom Shay, instructor of speech.
It will be presented at 3 p.m. Sunday and 8 p.m. Tuesday in the Little Theater in Green hall. The Sunday performance will be over in time for people to attend the Christmas Vespers at 4 p.m., Mr. Shay said. No admission will be charged.
Mr. Shay said, "The first part of the play is an English farce of sheep-stealing intrigue, and from there it turns directly to a very sincerely, religious scene of the adoration of the Christ child."
The three shepherds appear throughout as the scene switches from the Yorkshire moors to Bethlehem. The extreme farce-religious contrast adds emphasis to the manger scene, but the play was not written that way for that specific purpose.
The play's title comes from the fact that it was the second of a series of 32 plays found in an old manuscript in Yorkshire, England. These plays were a cycle of pageants or miracle plays that told the Biblical story from creation to the day of judgment.
They were originally given in churches as an expansion of mass, Mr. Shay said.

CIO Fights Government Over Taft-Hartley Law
Washington—(U.P.)—The government and the CIO squared off today for a constitutional battle over a key provision of the Taft-Hartley law, sparked by the government's bid to obtain an antistrike injunction at the American Locomotice company plant at Dunkirk, N.Y.
The Justice department went ahead with plans to seek a court injunction against the three-month-old strike despite the CIO Steel-workers' threat to make the case a test of the legality of the Taft-Hartley law's anti-strike clause.
A department spokesman refused to say in what federal court or when the injunction would be sought. But he said the department is working on it now, indicating the government would move swiftly.
President Truman ordered the Justice department to seek the court injunction late yesterday after receiving a report from a Presidential fact-finding board that the strike is seriously delaying production of atomic weapons needed for national defense.
The strike has been under way at the Dunkirk plant since Aug. 29 when 1,500 workers walked off their
jobs in a dispute over a new wage contract.
The strike has tied up production of nickel plate which the atomic energy commission says is vitally needed for expansion of its facilities at Savannah River, S.C., and Paducah, Ky.
The Steelworkers union promptly served notice it would fight the government's action all the way to the Supreme Court in an attempt to have the Taft-Hartley injunction provision declared unconstitutional.
