Chinese Reds Ask Home Rule
Chungking. (UP)—A mass meeting at Yenan, Chinese Communist capital, demanded "full autonomy" for Communist land areas and charged that Generalissimo Chiang Kai-Shek's government is preparing to use American pursuit planes in China's undeclared civil war, the newspaper New China Daily said today.
The Communist radio at Yenan appealed to President Trump today to halt America's "armed intervention" in the Chinese civil war and withdraw all forces from China.
The appeal came as Lt. Gen. Albert C. Wedemeyer, American commander in China, instructed Marine Maj. Gen. Keller C. Rockey to investigate Communist charges that Marines were fighting with the Nationalist army against Communist troops in North China.
A Communist front dispatch from that area said Nationalists' fifth division began a powerful attack on Shanhaikwan on the Communist-fortified Manchurian border last Sunday. Fighting still is raging, the dispatch said.
More than 2,000 U.S. Marines are stationed at Chinwangtao, North China port only nine miles south of Shanhaikwan, which guards the main pass through the Great Wall of China into Manchuria.
The official Nationalist Central News agency said representatives of Generalissimo Chiang Kai-Shek and the Communist government at Yenan have resumed peace talks after a six-day interruption.

The bill repeals a requirement in the present law that educational grants will be deducted from any future bonus.
Dr. Leonard Axe, director of the University's veterans bureau, estimated today that at least 400 of the 470 veterans registered this semester terw would be affected by the proposed change.

Water, Water Everywhere, But Not Much In the Right Direction
Water sprayed generously and students ducked in front of Frank Strong hall, as Chancellor Deane W. Malott and Dean Paul B. Lawson, of the College, fulfilled their obligation to wash a car, yesterday.
The services of the two administrators were purchased by Alpha Omicron Pi for $65 at the recent W.S.S.F. auction.
The chancellor and the dean denned bright plaid shirts and blue jeans for their work and succeeded in getting each other as wet as the ear.
Students who heckled the industrious and illustrious pair were answered with sprays of water and appropriate comments.

"I can't get this spot off," the chancellor groomed once, to which Dean Lawson replied grinningly,
"Try a knife."
