Martial Law
In Nome
_
(Continued, from Page One)
Council members, rightfully in
dignant that they were by-passed
in the proclaiming of marital law, j
agreed that the situatiop was in-;
deed an emergency and under
the circumstances as stated by
Colonel Morgan, would accept the
assistance of the Army with sin- \
cere appreciation and heartfelt
thanks, but could not readily see
the reason for the proclamation
of martial law.
In response, Col. Morgan stated
that during wartime, the Army is
not held accountable for services, J
equipment or supplies, but that j
since September 15, 1945, the War
Department requires unqualified
accounting of everything under
jurisdiction of the Army, there
fore only in the event of an emer
gency and upon the declaration of
martial law could the military
forces and equipment be made
available to the citizens of Nome.
Chris Roust, Councilman, stated
that in view of the explanation
made by Colonel Morgan, he
would move a rising vote of
thanks be given the Army for
their promptness in rendering as
sistance to the citizens of Nome.
Colonel Morgan announced that
the restrictions would be lifted
just as soon as conditions permit
ted. All that would be necessary
would be a letter from the City
Council stating that the Army
help was no longer required, that
the City could handle the situa
tion.
It is expected that the martial
law will be removed within the
week.

Plotted Civil War
CHUNGKING, Oct. 31— UP)—Ye
nan Communists, in a formal
statement charged Chiang Kai
Shek with deliberately plotting
the civil war in China. The Com
munists added that Chiang was
plotting the war at the very time
that Communist leader Mao Tse
Tung was in Chungking for the
purpose of discusisng means for
averting internal strife and unify
ing China.
As the talks proceeded, the
statement said, Chiang massed
eight crack armies against the
Communists in northern Ilonan
Province along the Peiping-Han
kow railroad. Then about two
hundred thousand government
Jap puppet troops began to at
tack and had seized eight
towns before the Communists'
withdrew to “avoid a large scale
