Kai-Shek Recalls
Leaders From U. S.
WASHINGTON, — (/P) — The
breakdown of Chinese peace nego
tiations was reported today to
have prompted Generali s s i m o
Chiang Kai-Shek to recall his top
military leaders, Gen. Ho Ying
Chin, from the United States.
Chinese officials said that Gen
eral Ho, who currently is China’s
representative on the United Na
tions staff committee, probably
will leave for home this month.
Ho and Ambassador Wellington
Koo paid what they termed a
courtesy call on Secretary of State
Marshall earlier this week.
China’s wartime chief of staff,
Ho is rated an uncompromising
foe of the Communists. He long
has been identified with the ex
treme right wing of the Nanking
Nationalist regime which Marshall
has blamed, along with Commun
ist extremeists, for the failure of
his efforts to effect a settlement
of China’s civil strife.
The general’s transfer to the
United States last year was viewed
at the time partly as a means of
giving Marshall a free hand in
trying to bring the moderates to
gether.

President Wants
Change In
Successorsliip
WASHINGTON, (£*)—President
Truman today asked Congress for
legislation which would place Re
publican Speaker Joe Martin first
in line of succession to the Presi
dency.
The President in a letter to Mar
tin, and Senator Vandenberg <R.
Mich.), presidnt pro tern of the
Senate, renewed his appeal for a
change in the traditional line of
succession.
Secretary of State George C.
Marshall currently would advance
to the White House if a vacancy;
should occur prior to the 1948 elec
tions.
Mr. Truman’s first proposal that
the speaker of the House be put in
line after the Vice President was
made shortly after he succeeded
Franklin D. Roosevelt.
It was directed to a Congress1
controlled by his own Democratic
party and would have made for
mer Sam Rayburn President in the
event of his own incapacitation. !
