RIVER NOT IMPASSABLE
SAYS BILL BROWN
In storm story of Monday issue
of the Nugget we stated we had
been reliably informed the river
was filled with sand and the boats j
and lighter up river would not be
able to lighter the SS Victoria.
Bill Brown, Harbor Engineer,
stated today that he took the tug
Carpenter out of the river yester
day and found sufficient depth of
water throughout the navigable
portion of the river to lighter the
“last boat” supplies, so that we
Met'd not worry that the supplies
will be carried back to Seattle.
More than 4,000 vessels carry
ing cargoes of explosives during
the war under the supervision of
the Coast Guard were loaded in
U. S. ports without a maior casu

“U. S. Troops In
China, Mistake’*
SEATTLE, (^)—Ben H. Kizer,
former UNRRA director in China,
said last night the assignment of
American troops in China was a
“blunder” but declared they
should be left there as long as
General Marshall remains, or un
til peace comes—to avoid disturb
ing the status quo.
Kizer denied there is any con
tact between the Communists of
Russia and China. The latter, he
said, are called “Marmalade Com
munists” by the Russians and
have a goal similar to that of the
American Farmer-Labor party.
He added however, that 95 per
cent of the Chinese have no po
litical philosophy and “we must
play the part of friend and com
rade.”
Kizer’s talk was the first of six
he will deliver, was the Walker
Ames foundation lecturer at the
University of Washington.
NANKING. (/P)—The last United
States army command in China
was dissolved today with inactiva
tion of the Nanking headquarters.
Personnel were absorbed immedi
ateyl into the 750-man military
advisory group, with neither com
bat personnel nor combat equip
ment, headed by Maj. Gen. John
Lucas and Rear Adm. S. S. Mur
ray. <U. S. Marines remain, how
ever, in North China*.
Jasper—I’d like a straw with
this lemonade.
Hard-of hearing Waiter—Hey?
Jasper—No, 9traw.
Bill—That girl is one of our fel
low workers.
Harry—All girls are fellow
workers!

i China Offensive
Not To Clash
With Soviets
(By HAROLD K. MILKS(
NANKING, Gen. Tu Li
Ming’s Liaotung offensive will not j
drive beyond “A safety zone well
distant from the Russian-occupied
area” around Dairen, Government
sources reported today.
They pointed out that the 14
month old S no-Soviet treaty pro
vides for joint occupation of Dai
ren and that it specifically pro
hibits militarization of that impor
tant port city.
The Government’s offensive
continued to overshadow political
developments as all but the most
optimistic abandoned hope of
peaceful settlement of the civil
war.
Quoting authoritative sources,
the independent newspaper Hsin
Min Pao had asked third party
I representatives to inform the
Communists that as soon as they
j sent delegates to the November
national assembly, the govern
ment would issue a cease fire or
der. Other problems would be
discused only after the fighting
ended.
tl was reported that third party
! mediators had invited Chou En
Lai, chief Communist negotiator,
to a meeting to discuss the pro
posal.
