China Claims
Reds Suffer
Heavy Losses
Government Says
Communists Routed
East of Suchow
BY ASSOCIATED PRESS
Tlie Chinese government told a
skeptical world today Its armies had
routed the Communists east of
Suchow and imposed 90,000 casual-
ties.
The soveriunent made the same
kind of claims shortly before Tsinan,
Chinhsien and Mukden tell to the
Reds,
It appeared tire Chinese air force
actually had blunted tire Red at-
tacks some 200 miles from Nanking,
but tlrat the Communists were re-
grouping for another assault, rather
than retreating.
The United States, Britain and
France declined a plea of two lead-
ing UN officials to negotiate di-
rectly a four-power settlement of
the Berlin crisis. They told Secretary
General Trygve Lie and Assembly
President H. V. Evatt, who made
the appeal Saturday, that the issue
should remain before the security
council.
Marshall To Report
Secretary of State George C.
Marshall and Warren Austin, chief
U. S. delegate to the united nations,
are to leave Paris shortly. Austin
is going to a U. S. hospital. Marshall
is to report to President Truman
Monday and is not expected to go
back to Paris.
The China problem may be high
on the Truman-Marshall agenda.
Ambassador Wellington Koo asked
for a U. S. expression of "sympathy,
solidarity and support” of Chiang
Kia-shek's nationalist government
to bolster Chinese morale.
The Chinese also appeared to
want about $1,000,000,000 worth of
free arms and the same kind of
guarantee the U. S. gave Greece—
a virtual pledge that the Com-
munists will not be permitted to
take over.
It seemed pretty late for that.
Severe Losses Noted
Despite the Chinese victory claims,
it 4rpcarod mat General Huang
Po-tao's seventh army group, which
wa.4 isolated cast of Suchow, lost
more than half its full strength
of four armies. The group still is
fighting.
Ocneral Charles' DeGaulle, whose
political star is shooting higher in
France, said the western powers
are creating a new Germany which
might not be willing to oppose
Russia. He pointed out Hitler had
no dilficulty in reaching an accord
with Russia. He said turning the
Ruhr coal mines and steel mills
back to the Gentians is a grave
mistake.
General Lucius D. Clay, U. S.
military governor in Germany, said
tlie western iipwers have reached
"90 percent agreement" on an oc-
cupation statute for western Ger-
many. The Russians in blockaded
Berlin ordered tlie removal of

Kingfisher Sets
World's Record
Turkey Is Sold For
Top Price of $462
The world’s record was broken I
Tuesday night at Kingfisher when
the grand champion dressed turkey
of Kingfisher county's sixth an-
nual turkey show and auction was
sold at $16.50 per popnd.
The bird, a 2b - pound tom,
brought $462. Tlie whining bid

the Ed Hockaday and Company
hardware store. Kingfisher. Mrs.
John Ruud, of near Kingfisher,
raised the bird.
Bidding for the grand champion
started at $1 per pound and was
rather slow until the price reached I
$7. From then on Mitchell and |
Francis Gooden, of the Josiah |
Gooden hardware store at King- i
fisher, stood side by side and bat- '
tied for the right to buy the j
champion.

Truman Delays
Selections For
Cabinet Places
President Giving
(’areful Study
To Replacements
KEY WEST, Fla., Nov. 17—(AV-
President Truman's delay in the
reorganization of his administra-
tion was attributed by close asso-
ciates today to concern about
picking replacements for those
who are to go.
These sources, unquotable by
name, said the president is in no
hurry to shake up his cabinet
until he completes selection of a
team to carry on during the next
four years.
As he told a news conference
here yesterday, everybody has been
shuffling the cabinet around but
the president. Mr. Truman added
that he would act at the proper
time.
No Decisions Reached
His major problem will be to
pick a new secretary of defense
to replace James V. Forrestal and
a man to succeed Robert B. Lovett
when the latter steps out as
Undersecretary of state.
No decision has been made in
either 'case.
Mr. Truman, these close advisers
said, will try to persuade Secre-
tary of State George C. Marshall
to remain on the job when the
latter meets with him Monday at
the White House for a full-scale
review of the delicate international
situation. 1
Marshall Will Reply
Meanwhile, the chief executive
left up to General Marshall a
formal reply to a suggestion by

BY ASSOCIATED PRESS
There appeared some hope today
oi early settlement of the U-weeks-
old west coast shipping strike but
no progress was reported toward
ending the walkout of 65,000 east
coast AFL dock workers.
Effects of the shipping tieup in

being felt in many segments of
industry and business. Estimates of
losses ran into many millions of
dollars since the AFL International

out eight days ago In a dispute
over wages. Thousands of railroad,

been idle.

Tire port of Halifax was reopened
and the 2,000 longshoremen will

the strike.
In San Francisco, negotiators lit

Other issues up for dlrcussion
include wages, vacations with pay

New Building Permits
Issued by City Clerk
Issuance of two new building
permits was reported today by
Miss Ethel Dowell, city clerk.
One permit went to William S.

ities. The capital area was used as
a sampling ground for the first

$500 Tips Disclosed
Tlie two-day hearing was high-
lighted by testimony of $500 tips
to car salesmen, fabulous profits on
unrecorded trade-ins, and apparent
disregard for local reporting regula-
tions.
"We are calling the testimony to
(he attention of the attorney gen-
eral, the internal revenue bureau

poration counsel," Macy said. “We
believe they will all be interested."
To Check Record
He said the record will be checked
to determine whether any witnesses
committed perjury, falsified income
tax returns or violated fair trade
practices legislation.
John T. M. Rcddan, sub-committee
counsel, said he has asked the
justice department to determine
whether there was any "conspiracy"
among the dealers questioned to
hide information on new and used
car transactions. Conspiracy is a
felony, punishable by a prison term
