NANKING, Jan. 19— (AP)—The government today asked for a cease fire order on
both sides in the Chinese civil war ard immediate peace negotiations.
A formal statement by the¢: government information office announced the move to
halt the thyee yvear war. ;
The stalement said:
“The executive Yuan, at a reg
ular nieeting, discussed at length
the national siuation and made the
following statement:
““The government, in defer
ence to the general wishes of the
people for an early realization of
peace, hereby makes known its
desire for both government and
Communist forces to cease fire
unconditionally and immediately
and for both sides to appoint del
egates to start peace negotia
tions’.”
The executive Yuan constitu
tionally may negotiate for peace.
But the legislative Yuan must ap
prove the proposals voted today
by the executiv Yuaen.
Chiang Word Waited
The executive Yuan is compos
ed of 11 ministries, four commis
sions and two administrative
bodies. It is powerful but is at
the beck and call of the central
executive committee of the Kou
mintang party, which, in turn,
takes its orders from President
Chiang Kai-shek.
Chiang’s views on the action
today is eagerly awaited in the
capital. The government an
nouncement, however, was taken
to mean that he had at least giv
en tentative approval to the
peace move.
The bitterness of the struggle
inside the executive Yuan was
hinted at a by a report Premier
Sun Fo threatened to resign at to
day’s meeting if a decision to ne
gotiate was not made.
The group gaining the upper
hand today includes members of
the executive Yuan who overcame
confusion, panic and inertia as
well as strong resistance when
they forced the vote through with
out the visible approval of Chi
ang. »
The opposing group is composed
of Quomintang liehards who, it is
reported, seek to make Nanking
a secend Tienstin by remaining
for a Communist attack before
abandoning the city. The gravity
of the problem is shown by fears
expressed by some peace seeking
officials that they will be assas
sinated by such elements. -
They point to the situation in
Peiping, where a bomb wounded
a peace (elegate, former Mayor
Ho Sze-Yuan, hefore he could
leave to confer with the Reds on
a cease fire agreement there. A
source arriving here from Peiping
said an examination of the frag
ments showed that it was a stand
ard national hand grenade. This
Source said that an investigation
led to the conclusion the bomb
was planted by Kuomintang ex
tremist in order to delay a ne
gotiated peace in Peiping.
Lab Data Awaited
In "lorida Case
TALLASSEE, FLA., Jan. 19—
—(AP) Authorities said today
they were marking time in their
investigation of the mysterious
night-time death of Glenville Ba
ker while they awaited an' FBI
analysis of evidence surrounding
the shooting of the wealthy 27-
year-old World War II veteran.
Baker, heir to New York Bank
ing millions, was found with a fa
tal pistol wound in his head early
Monday a few minutes after the
jeep he was driving wrecked on a
lonely dirt road on his mother’s
spacious plantation 12 miles north
of here.
- His companion was dark-haired,
blue-eyed Thelma Griffin, a 21-
year-old divorcee.
_Both State Attorney William D.
Hopkins and Sheriff Frank Stouta
mire said they were inclined to
believe the young socialite’s death
was accidential. Hopkins, however,
still considered the possibility of
suicide, though no evidence had
been found, he said, to indicate
Hlat Baker had taken his own
ife.

Polio Coin Boxes Put
In 200 Locations Here
Polio coin boxes for the current Clarke County March
of Dimez campaiegn are being placed in 150 locations iu
the Athens downtown area and in approximately 50 local
factories and plants, according to Master Sergeant Jack
Bradley, coin hox chairman.
Local Boy Scouts are assisting
Sgt. Bradley. in placing over 200
colorful posters depicting infantile |
paralysis vietims and the treatment
they are receiving as a result of‘
the annual March of Dimes drive
throughout the nation. |
“The purpose of the coin boxes,”
Sgt. Bradley said, “is volume. In
placing the boxes in restaurants,
clothing stores, drug stores, and
other business establishmantts, we
are hopeful of obtaining not only
the flow of dimes, but dollars.”
Large Contributor '
He said that last year the coin
boxes were a means of making
Clarke County one of the largest
contributors per capia in the state. |
“One never knows when polio!
will strike,” he cautioned, “In |
many instances, it respects neither'
age nor the position of its victims. !
Without the annual fund-raising
drive of the National Foundation |
for Infantile Paralysis a large‘
number of persons, particularly |
children, would not receive the
necessary treatment to prevent
them from becoming hopeless crip
plga.? v e qia ,
“We know from past experi
ence,” he continued, “that the Ath
ens citizens and University of
Georgia. studevfis cooperate whole
heartedly in this matter, and we
are looking forward to even great
er success in the current cam-
B e o
He said that Athenians are well
away that last summer’s astound
ing epidemics, which claimed ap
proximately 27,000 victims, are a
challenge that must be met by
every able American.
County chairman for the drive
is Robert G. Stephens, Jr., Athens
attorney. The drive will end on
January 31.
Reform
(Continued from Pare One)
make statements and be cross ex
amined if they wish, but they
would be sworn as any other wit
ness.
Another proposal would abolish
the power of city courts and or
dinaries to issue habeas corpus or
ders and confine this power to
superior court judges.
Another significant bill by Rep.
Frank Gross of Stephens, the
House leader, would change taxa
tion on an estimated $700,000,000
in accounts receivable and notes.
Gross said these funds now are
subject to the same tax -.as real
estate, running 50 to 60 midls.
Because of this “high rate, Gross
said, only about $70,000,000 in
these accounts are listed for tax
ation.
Three Mill Tax
..Gross proposed that accounts
receivable and notes be classified
as intangibles where they would
be subject to a three mill tax.
Senator Gholston, explaining
his highway reorganization . bill,
said it would leave the governor
with power to prevent “discrim
ination, collusion and graft
The measure provides for elec
tion of highway commission mem
bers for staggered terms of six
vears each with each new legisla
ture naming three or four mem
bers every two years.
Gholston said election of mem- I
bers by the legisiaiure is the only
feasible plan for removing poli
tics from the highway department.
The plan has been used sucessful- !
ly in South Carolina for the past
12 years, Gholston told the Senate.
The Senate adopted a resolution
today to’ reimburse C B. Smith
and M. L. Shadburn for their ser
vices as highway engineers dur- |
ing the 72 days in 1947 when Her
man Talmadge was acting illegal
ly as governor.
Senator Lawten R. Ursrey of
Hazlehurst introduced a measure
which would set up a ‘tobacco

five days, ex®uding Saturdays

The accompanying chart shows
the extent to which life has
lengthened in the United States
since the beginning of the centu

ed by 1975 on the basis of the
mortality forecast by the Census

The chart, prepared by the sta

under the mortality conditions of
1901 one quarter of the newly
born failed to survive beyond age
24, whereas this survival point is
postponed to age 59 according to
conditions in 1946. In the fore
cast for 1975, the age at which one
quarter of the deaths will have
occurred is as late as 67 years.
One half of those born would

Truman Signs
) agi
wn Pay Bill
WASHINGTON, Jan. 19—(AP)
—President Truman today signed
a bill raising his own pay from
$75,000 to SIOO,OOO and increasing
his expense allowances by $50,000.
The legislation also raises the
pay of Vice President-elect Bark
ley and Speaker Rayburn from
$20,000 to $30,000 a year and al
lows each of them SIO,OOO for ex
penses.
The White House pointed out
that the new $50,000 expense al
lowance for the President requires
no accounting, The $40,000 he
now receives is tax free like the
new fund, but the President has to
account for expenditures under it.
The expense allowances for the
Speaker and Vice President also
may be used without accounting.
Changes Seen In
Palestine Policy
LONDON, Jan. 19 —(AP)—A
government source said today Bri
tain will recognize Isreal if the
United States joins in a British
plan to guarantee peace in the
middle East.
Britain is said to have made
new and drastic changes in her
holy land policy in the middle East
plan which she is proposing to the
United States.
The plan was reported by Lon
don newspapers to have been sub
mitted to U. S. Undersecretary of
State Robert A. Lovett yesteray
by British Ambassador Sir Oliver
Franks.
Dispatches from Diplomatic cor
respondents in Washington said
the British proposal * included
British recognition of Isreal and
backing for the Israeli bid to be
admitted to the United Nations.
the forecast for 1975.
“It would not be surprising if
the 1975 forecast should prove to
be too conservative,” the statistic
ians comment. “This does not
mean, however, that future gains
in longevity will be achieved as
readily as those in the past. Fur
ther gains will require even a
higher price in time, efforts, and
funds, than has been paid hither
to, but the rewards will undoub
tedly far outweigh the expendi
ture in terms of longer, healthier,
and happier lives ”
The chart also = demonstrates
visually an important reason for
the ever increasing proportion of
older people in our population.
This change in population struc
ture, the statisticians point out,
calls for much constructive
thought both in government and
in welfare circles if the health
problems which concern older
people are tobe wiet, .
