'Soviet Army Aids China Reds'
BY RICHARD W. JOHNSTON United Press Staff Correspondent
Aboard Admiral Barbey's flagship, off the North China Coast. (UP)—The Red army has thwarted American plans to land Chinese Nationalist forces at the Manchurian port of Yingkow by abandoning it to Chinese Communists.
Chinese Nationalists charged that the Soviet garrison, contrary to an agreement signed with the Central government pulled out of Yingkow five days ahead of schedule to permit Chinese Communist troops to fortify it against a Nationalist landing.
On the basis of the agreement, Vice Admiral Daniel E. Barbay had arranged for American ships to land Nationalist units with the understanding that the movement would be unopposed.

Attention Please, Dean Lawson:
This Story Is for You (and $5)
Dean Paul B. Lawson visited the Daily Kansan the other day.
He was checking into the number of times the Kansan intends to let the incorrect use of the word "species" into print this year.
The dean, being a learned scientist as well as an expert administrator, knew all this, of course, and would mutter "How long, oh, Lord, how
Just as a bit of background, it might be mentioned that during the past year, gremlins and type lice have combined nefariously to misspell and misuse "species" in the Kansas.
It all came about because some writer decided that with the "s" on the end, "species" was a plural word, and to make it singular, all a guy had to do was drop the final "s."
What the writer didn't know was that "species" is a singular word, despite its ending.
long" every time "species" was mis-speclled in our paper.
spelled in our paper.
"I'll tell you what I'll do," he told Kansan editors during the visit the other day. "I'd like to see the Kansan spell 'species' right, and I'd like to see it use 'species' correctly."
"I in fact, I'd like that so much. I will give the Kansan $5 if it can use 'species' right and spell 'species' correctly just 12 times this school year."
The $5, the dean pointed out,
could go for popcorn and cokes,
"or other things."
It's a deal, dean. The Kansan will use "species" right, and will spell "species" correctly, a dozen times this school year.
In fact, if you'll count the number of times "species" is used and spelled right in this article, we think you'll find it just an even dozen.
Or—should we say—just $5 worth?
