‘tal'a “coming out” season ended

season affairs, and Bulldog offi
cials were then able to accept the
bid. Announcement of the game
with Miami University gives
Georgia ten games this season,
and it is very unlikely that an
other will be added, despite the
fact the Bulldogs’ opening tilt
does not come until Oci()t)er '2nd.
The contest will mark the first
time Georgia and Miami have
played. Georgia and the Universi
ty of Florida battle annually, and
Stetson, another Florida college,
appeared on Bulldog grid ecards
several’ years back. It was orly
recently that Miama established
itself as an outstanding football
power, but its record for the past
several seasons has been very im
pressive.
The new Orange Bowl stadium
isreported as being constructed at
a cost of $200,000 and the dedica
tion contest between the Bulldogs
and the Hurricane is expected to
be one of the most colorful tilts
ever played in the south.

next fall fallows:
October 2—~Soyth Carolina at

PITTARD AT MIAMI
Added local interest in the

the fact that George Pittard, ex-
Athens High athletic star, may be
found in the Hurricane line-up.
Pittard was an outstanding

THE BANNER-HERALD, ATHENS, GEORGIA
Was Kidnaping of Chiang Kai-Shek a Fake?
Writer Tells of Ruse to Deceive Japanese
(EDITOR’S NOTE: Has the
real reason why Chiang Kai-
Shek was kidnaped been told?
The writer of the following in
teresting story—a noted re
porter on foreign affairs—
discovered a possible solution
of the mystery on a visit to
New York's Chinatown.)
By DEWITT MacKENZIE
NEW YORK — (AP) — From
New York’s Chinatown comes a
theory that the sensational Kkid
naring of the Chinese General
issimo was a ruse to deceive Ja
pan and to permit Chiang Kai-
Shek to move troops in an effort
to offset aggression against Chi
na's northern provinces.
Chiang Kai-Shek was seized by
powerful Marshal Chang Hsuei-
Liang in an advertised attempt tc
force China into war with Japan.
The circumstances of Chiang's re
lease were as astonishing as his
kidnaping.
One of America’s leading Chi
nese businessmen, who maintains
close contact with <China, #says
that the whole thing was a put-up
Joh between Chiang and his sub
ordinate, tu enable the Generalis
gimo to pursue plans to combat
Mongol aggression—stuupported by
Japan and Manchoukuo—against
Chinz's nothern provinces.
Gur Chinese merchant, who gave
his views over the dinner table in
a secluded spot in Chinatown—
which is pretty mysterious in it
self— ¢cays that Chiang resorted to
this ruse in order to move troops
northward over the energetic pro
tes's of Japan. In view of the
kidnaping, the Japanese dill noth
ing t¢ halt th» military activiti:s
of the Naaking government in the
efforts to ‘rescue” the Generalis
simo .
Whether this is the correct so
lution, only Chiang and those close
to him can say. The wriler does
not suggest that this solves the
mystery, but presents it as the in
terestip, g viewpoint of a prominent
Chinese whose name and sources
of information are not for publi
cation here,
Marshal Chang's unconditionu]}
pardon by the council of state at
Nanking in no way challenges ihg

specific recommenesations later.
But he said immediate action was
needed to extend the neutrality law
to cover civil strife in Spain; to
‘extend expiring statutes (such as
lhis monetary powers and the Re
j construction Corporation) and to
imake deficiency appropriations for
relief purposes.
Discusses Problems
Among “far-reaching problems”
needing solution, the president in-
Icluded:
A housing “menace” of habita
ticns failing “to provide the physi
cal benefits of modern civilization”;
Aid for tenant farmers to be
come self-supporting;
Improvement and broadening of
the social security system;
Unemployment.
The president said he would dis-
cuss unemployment with congress
later, addig:
! “The broader task of preventing
junemployment is a matter of long
'range evolutionary policy. To that
we must continue to give our best
[thwght and effox.
! “We cannot assume that immed
ljate industrial awe cummercial
;activity which mitigates present
| pressures justifies the national
! government at this time in placing
,the unemployment problem in a
| filing cabinet of finished business.”
Mr. Roosevelt termed over-pro
’ duction, under-production and
speculation the “three evil sisters
who distill the troubles of unsound
inflation and disastrous deflation,”
,adding?
“It is to the interest of the nation
to have government help private
enterprise to gain sound general
price levels and to protest those
levels from wide perilous fluctua
tions.”
In a brief discussion of NRA,
the president said its difficulties
arose “from the fact that we tried
to do too much.”
Cites Weaknesses
“For example,” he said, “it was
unwise to expect the same agency
to regulate the length of working
hours, minimum wages, child labor
and collective bargaining on the
one hand and the complicated ques
tions of unfair trade practices and
business controlg on the other.”
Federal laws were needed, he
added, to suppiement state laws to
provide ‘“decent conditions and ade
quate pay for labor” and a just
return for agriculture.
Asserting the World War had
set up many oligarchies in place
of democracies, he said: “In oli
garchies militarism has leapt for
ward, while in those nations which
have retained democrary, militarism
hag waned.”
The president said the Inter-Am
erican Peace conference which he
opened last month at Buenos Aires
improved existing peace machinery
and ‘sent forth a message on be
half of all the democracies of the
world to those nationg which live
otherwise.” j
“It was high time for democracy
to assert itself,” he added. !
The president sare the adminis-|
trative machinery of governmenti
needed a “comprehensive overhaul-|
ing” and notified the congress he’
would have a special message on|
reorganization shortly. It was up!
to congress, he added, to determine!
“which of the miany new activities |
shall be continued or abandoned,|
increased or curtailed” _ |
merchant’s conclusions, to say the
least. If the whole show was on
the level, and there was no collu
sion between Chiang and his cap
tor, then Marshal Chang is a very
lucky man. Over in the Peiping
area they are executing people by
the scores for offenses far less se
rious than kidnaping a dictator
and perpetrating one of the great
est military crimes of history.
Generalissimo Chiang Kai-Shek
was captured on December 12 at
Sianfu, remote capital of Shensi
province. This was after the as
tute and experienced premier,
wily in the ways of intrigue, had
walked straight into the lions’
den without even a trainer's whip
to protect himself..
‘Marshal Chang, second most
powerful chieftain in China and
reputedly possessed of a vast for
tune which came from his father,
who once ruled Manchuria,
promrtly did the necessary. e
held Chiang and the latter's aides
in durance vile and announced to
the world that the Generalissimo
and sundry generals would be ex
ecuted if certain demands were
not met. Among other things
Chaing insisted that the Japanese
be driven from China and Man
choukuo.
Chiang Kai-Shek already had an
army of perhaps 75,000 crack troops
operating in the north. The Nank
ing government with a flourish
proceeded to rush other troops and
equipment into the area. How
maeny soldiers were moved has not
been announced.
" There were reports that Chiang
had been shot, and all sorts of
sensations were bandied about.
Japan became solicitous after the
welfare of Generalissimo Chiang
fearing that his demise might re
sult in the war which Chang ad
vocated.
The denouement was startling.
Chang suddenly announced in
about so many words that he had
seen the error of his ways and
had repented. There was a trial
and Chang was condemned to ten
vears in prison though he gave
the imrression he bhelieved he
really ought to be shot or tor
tured or something of the sort.
Then came full pardon, with res
toration of all civil rights.
