Nationals Move
To Eliminate
Communist Threat
• Continued from Page One>
The American staff of the now
defunct peace-seeking headquar
quarters here were informed that
5,000 Chinese Communist guerril
las were attacking along the rail
road yesterday. The Chinese gov
ernment said it was still able to
use the line. Government sources
said the Communist troops were
active near the right-of-way some
20 miles southeast of Peiping.
Sections of the track were torn
up by Communists Thursday. The
government gained control and
made repairs Friday. Communists
cut the route again Saturday; and
the government restored traffic
again Sunday.
Railways south and north of
Peiping were sporadically attack
ed by Communists, presumably in
an effort to isolate the city.
1 Asks Pay Increases
For Retired Vets
1 _
WASHINGTON, (/P) — Senator
Sparkman <D.-Ala.», has intro
duced legislation for pay increases
for a .small group of retired en
I listed men of the Army, Navy and
Marine Corps.
They are men retired before
July, 1942, with double credit
towax'd 30 years’ service allowed
them for duty overseas.
The comptroller general ruled
| that the servicemen’s pay bill
amendment enacted in 1942 did
not give the new retirement bene
fits to that particular group.
The new rules made no extra
allowance for overseas service.
Sparkman’s bill would put men
in the affected group on the same
basis as men who had 30 years of
actual time.

Royal Family Will
Visit South Africa
LONDON, </P) — England bade
farewell for three and one-half
months today to the Royal family,
as they made final preparations to
board the battleship Vanguard for
a 16-day voyage to South Africa
Travelling by special train to
Portsmouth, King George VI.
Queen Elizabeth and the Princess
es Elizabeth and Margaret Rose
were to embark late this after
noon amidst a ceremonial display
by the RAF, Royal Navy and pick
ed military units.
The Vanguard, the newest and
largest of Britain’s battle fleet, is
scheduled to leave Postmouth har
bor before dawn tomorrow, escort
ed by two cruisers one destroyer
and an aircraft carrier.
Because of the cold wave, the
King and Queen cancelled their
plans for a state drive from Buck
ingham Palace to Waterloo sta
tion, thereby disappointing many
pomp-loving Londoners and pro
vincial visitors who, despite the
bitter temperatures, expected to
show up early to be sure of good
spots along the official route.
Instead of travelling in a color
ful horsedrawn procession the
Royal Family chose to motor slow
yl to the station in order to re
ceive the plaudits of the crowds.
Large numbers of people gathered
along the 75-mile stretch from
London to Portsmouth to bid fare
well to the Royal Family.
