. Nanking Council
Is Striving For
Separate Peace
Chinese Nationalist
Government Moves
Toward Canton
BV ASSOCIATED PRESS
The Nanking city council strove
for a separate peace with the
Communists today while the
beaten Chinese nationalist gov-
ernment moved toward Canton.
Reports were that if peace talks
collapse, both Nanking and Shang-
hai will be surrendered without a
fight to the Communists, and If
the peace plan falls. Chiang Kai-
shek 1r expected to resume leader-
ship In the south and keep up the
civil w'ar. Both sides have agreed
to talk peace on the Communists’
terms. ,
Acting President LI Tsung-jen
was reported to have approved the
Nanking council's peace overtures.
Communist patrols already have
reached the Yangtze river which
U* flows by Nanking.
The nationalist government said
all Its offices will be closed at
Nanking by Feb. 3 and opened in
Canton two days later.
The Chinese Communists called
upon the nationalist government
to demonstrate its desire for peace
by arresting Chiang and all other
Communist-designated "war crim-
inals.”
More “Criminals” listed
The demand was made by a
Communist radio commentator
over the North Shensi radio. He
also announced that six more na-
tionalist leaders have been added
to the Communist list of 43 "war
criminals.”
The new names included that of,
Chiang's elder son. Chiang Ching-
kuo. Cliiang htmsclf is at his
boyhood home in Fenghua after
leaving Nanking on leave of ab-
sence as, president to enable the
government to open peace talks
with the Communists.
If Acting President Li arrests
all the other “war criminals.” the
Communist broadcaster said, his
own name may be removed from
the list.
Communist leaders of France
and Italy told their 5.000.000 fol-
lowers to join the Russian "peace
front.” They ordered the French
and Italian Communists to exert
all force against the “propaganda
of hate and calumny, warlike prep-
arations and policies of aggres-
sion.”
Better Relations Urged
Max Rcimann. leading Commu-
nist of western Germany, pleaded
for better relations between the
U. S. and Russia. Thus far it was
only talk. Russia had made no
response to the challenge of Sec-
retary of State Dean Achcson to
prove with deeds rather than
words that they meant a desire
for peace.
Armistice talks between Israel
and Egypt deadlocked over boun-
daries and both sides were under
UN pressure to make concessions,
Mediator Ralph Bunche asserted
Egypt and Israel have signed a
“complete and enduring" cease-
fire agreement, however.

In the photo at the left, the first bale of hay leaves a C-82 air force plane about 25 miles southeast of Ely, Nev., in “Operation Feedlift.” According to George N.
Swallow, a rancher near Ely, the first flights were an unqualified success, much better than had been expected. In the picture at the right, the shadow of a C-82 passes
over stock on rangeland around the area of Ely, not far from where 16 air force C-82s were participating in the operation to supply hay for the starving cattle and sheep,
marooned by heavy and continuing snows. In the areas surrounding this region, more than $8,000,000 worth of livestock is stranded, and losses already have been tremendous.
Schools Closed
By Snow, Sleet
Extensive Shoveling
In Progress Today
There was considerable shoveling
today as El Reno persons cleared
their walks and driveways of ap-
proximately six inches of snow and
sleet which fell Monday and Tues-
day.
t Merchants were busy In the down-
town area clearing the walks while
in the residential district boys,
given a “no school today because
of the weather” vacation, were put
to work by their parents.
The sleet, which fell almost con-
tinuously through Monday and Tues-
day. stopped during the night. The
biting north wind also abated during
the night.
Driving stilt was hazardous and
in many instances cars became
mired in the deep, grainy sleet,
despite the chains on the tires.
Temperatures were higher today
than Tuesday. The low was 10 de-
grees early thus morning but the
mercury had climbed to 16 degrees
by 8 a. m.
Paul R. Taylor, superintendent of
schools, was uncertain this after-
noon whether schools will be held
Thursday or not.
In an official statement, however,
he said that regular classes will be
held Thursday unless the weather
worsens to such a degree as to
make it inadvisable to hold school.
If the latter occurs, he said, he
will broadcast an announcement
early Thursday morning.

The legislation, by estimate of
Rankin and the American Legion,
affecta some 18.000.000 veterans of
World Wars I and II.
Its impact upon the national
pockctbook has not yet been off!-,
dally estimated, but veterans ad-
ministration figures show that
there are mote than 3,500.000 vet-
erans who would reach the pen-
sion age within the next 10 years.
On the basis of the bill's pension
provisions, this could mean a pos-
sible bill of $3,000,000,000 to $5,000,-
000,000 a year by 1959—If all those
veterans lived to the age of 60.

out heat because of failure of the
electric power. Temporary oil
stoves were used.
Water service went off last
night when the main from Durant
to the pump station broke because
of ice.
Tlip two power lines carrying
electricity into the town yesterday
snapped in hundreds of places due ]
to the weight of Ice. A local power ]
plant supplied service to the water I
pump station and to the hospitals
until last night when it broke
down.
Bus Service Suspended
Bus service was suspended to i
the city because of the ice-coated j
highways.
There was no shortage of food.
Citizens bought all candles, flash-
lights and kerosene lamps avail-
able.

lines, said It could not promise
restoration of service today.

Higher Prices for Meat
Seen by Livestock Men
CHICAGO, Jan. 26—(U.R)— The
sheep and cattle dying of starva-
tion on the snowbound western,
rangelands may some day boost
the housewife’s grocery bill.
Livestock experts said today that
the effect of the tragedy might
be reflected In higher meat prices
at butcher counters thousands of
miles from the desolate ranges.
But they said little effect would
be felt for a long time. In the
case of sheep, they said, no short
supply would be felt until the
summer of 1950, if then.

Reservoirs Of
Capital Noted
WASHINGTON. Jan. 26—(A’)—
Secretary of State Dean Achcson
declared today that "very great"
reservoirs of private capital are
available to back up President
Truman’s proposal for raising liv-
ing standards throughout the
world.
But he served notice that this
capital could not be brought into
use unless foreign nations create
conditions under which investors
may "fairly" employ their money.
And he said this relationship
between private capital and for-
eign nations needing capital "is a
two-way street.”
Acheson made It clear in Ids
first news conference since be-
coming secretary of state that Mr.
Truman’s call for a bold new ven-
ture In International betterment
stands now as only a broad goal
and far from a completed plan.
Tulsa Landlords
Showing Fight
Eviction Notices
Are Being Served
TULSA, Jan. 26—A group of Tulsa
landlords today started serving
notices on occupants of property
they plan to pull off the rental
market in protest against what they
term "slavery" legislation before
congress.
Headquarters of the Tulsa Prop-
erty Owners association, Inc., re-
ported members had called at the
office and taken away "at least
I. 000 forms” prepared for notifying
their tenants.
Some notices went out last night
from Roy Shelton and Rev. Walluce
J. Murphy, property owners and
kingpins of the movement.
Shelton is president of the associa-
tion and Murphy executive secretary.
They sent out notices to some of
their tenants last night.
The group claims an active mem-
bership of 200 and an associate
membership of 500.
Murphy said he could not set an
exact number of notices served, ex-
plaining that each tenant had to
be notified personally. The winter's
worst snow would prevent wide-
spread distribution today, he pointed
out.
Shelton estimated the association
controlled 3.000 rental units in the
city. Much of the property Is of low
rental type.
The Tulsa sponsors of the revolt
hoped it would steam-roller into
a nationwide movement. *
Landlord groups in Chicago and
Grand Rapids. Mich., affiliated with
the Property Owners association of
America, have agreed to follow
Tulsa's suit, Murphy reported.
He added that the Kansas City,
Mo., property owners group was to
meet tonight to consider the local
action.
“And we are waiting to hear
what St. Louis is going to do." he
added.
