8HANOHAI, July 23—(U.PJ—Gen-
eral George C. Marshall s peace ef-
forts In China today were believed
to be on the brink of failure with
prospects mounting that China will
be plunged Into a disastrous civil
war.
Close observers of Marshall's ef-
forts to mediate between the nation-
•lists arid rXaronuiTiste reported that
evidence was growing that Gener-
alissimo Chlang Kai-shek has yield-
ed to demands by nationalist re-
actionaries for permission to launch
a full-scale offensive against the
Chinese Communists.
They reported that Chiang's with-
drawal to Killing where lie Is vir-
tually Isolated from all contact may
have been designed to give the re-
actionary clique a free hand to
launch their attack.
Chlang Out of Contact
In Killing Chlang was out of con-
tact with the Communists and also
was difficult of access to Marshall
who Is credited with almost single-
handedly averting the outbreak of
full-wale civil war up to now.
informed sources said they
thought Chlang might make the
gesture of a "final peace offer” to
the Communists before the national-
ist armies are unleashed. However,
they predicted that the offer woufd
be couched In such terms that the
Communists could not accept It.
Supporting their belief that re-
actionaries now control the Kuo-
m In tang, Informed sources noted:
1. Chiang's continued absence
from Nanking hi the face of spread-
ing clashes between nationalists
and Communists.
Americans Skeptical
2. The nationalist offensive de-
signed to drive Communists from
"strategic” cities and communica-
tions centers. Americans and other
observers are skeptical of Nanking
government reports of a Commun-
ist "threat” to tlie Shangliai-Nan-
klng area—which no neutral obser-
ver lias been permitted to see.
3. An increasingly bold and
spreading reign of terror. Involving
assassinations and kidnaplngs of
liberals, and arrests of students and
labor leaden. ,
4. Government raids on bookstalls
and newsstands and the suspension
of newspapers.

Mrc. Oakes was locking cal of the
window over the north porch of her
Jjome Monday whe n she saw the
gray end white mocking bird alight
hi front of the sleeping yellow cat.
The cat didn't move a paw. nils
seemed to irritate the mocking bird.
It immediately began to fuss. Lean-
ing forward, Mrs. Oakes heard the
heckling mocking bird alternately
"bark" like a dog and "whine” as
a cat jioes.
Finally tlie lazy cat awakened
with the "screaming" of the vexed
bird.

but the bird quickly began the at-

conscious of Us peril.
The cat drew back as the bird
advanced, making sounds that were
anything but friendly. As the bird
^walked straight up Into the cat's
‘face and looked as If It might "flog"

swiftly scooted backwards until it
fell off the porch.
Clear of the hypnotic spell of the
bird, tlie cat fled.
The mocking bird strutted up and
down the porch In the sunshine

and flapping its matching tall.

OPA Opponents
Given Setback
Early Restoration
Of Controls Seen
WASHINGTON, July 23 —(/P)—
The house today rejected, 150 to 120,
A motion to strip from compromise
OPA legislation all controls save
those over rents.
OPA's opponent* had opened a
final drive in the house to prevent
a revival of price controls.
Representative Clarence Brown
(Republican, Ohio) told the'Cham-
ber that such a revival would "be
a step backward to scarcities and
black markets.”
There had been talk In the cloak-
rooms of an effort to whittle down
the compromise legislation to an
authority over rents, with all other
controls eliminated.
Lea Prepared Motion
Chairman Clarence Lea (Demo-
crat) of the Interstate commerce
committee had prepared the motion
to strike everything from the bill
except authority to control rents.
Administration leaders, mean-
while, drove hard to get the house
and senate okays that would put
the compromise legislation on Presi-
dent Truman's desk by nightfall.
Tlie president's signature then could
restore trimmed down price controls
and full rent authority Immediately.
Chairman Brent Spence (Demo-
crat, Kentucky) of the house bank-
ing committee, n leader of the ad-
ministration’s bitter OPA battle,
told reporters "we hope to have
price control again by midnight."
Rayburn Hen Passage
■'There'll be an OPA tonight as
lar as we’re concerned," House
Speaker Sam Rayburn 'Democrat,
Texas) told reporters as the house
scheduled a vote on the compromise
price measure.
House Democratic Leader John W.
McCormack of Massachusetts fore-
cast that the bill, despite 11s three-
week mauling at the hands of con-
gress, will be signed by President
Truman.
Cheery optimism also was voiced
on the other side of Capitol Hill
where Senate Democratic Leader
Alben W. Barkley of Kentucky said
the senate would act oil the bill as
soon as it was received from the
house. He predicted “no trouble"
in the senate.
