Chinese Assembly
Postponed “Two
Or Three Days”
NANKING, iff*)—Opening of the
national assembly, called by Chi
ang Kai-Shek for tomorrow to es
tablish an all-party government
for China, has been postponed
‘‘two or three days,” Minister of
Information Peng Hseuh-Pei told
newsmen today.
This was announced as Com
munist tempers flared anew over
allegations that government troops
in« violation of the new cease-fire
order were menacing the Red cap
ital of Yemn, and as third-party
representatives urged postpone
ment of the session until the end
of the month in the hope of reach
ing an agreement with the com
munists beforehand.
Meanwhile government authori
ties in Peiping reported recapture
of the entire northern section of
the Peiping-Hankow railroad, vi
tal link between north and central
China, after two 'and one-half
months of fighting.
The last section of the line, be
tween Paoting and Shihchiachu
ang, was reported cleared of com
munist troops a little more than 12
hours before the deadline of Gen
eralissimo’s cease-fire order given
his forces in a “final” effort at
peace.
Communist spokesmen earlier
called Chiang Kai-Shek’s cease
fire o’'der a ruse which would not
stop the fighting, and declared
that government convening of the
constitutional assembly as sched
uled “means a final, complete na
tional split, both political and mil
itary.”
They have insisted that military
forces revert to their Jan. 13 po
sitions before the assembly meet
to adopt a new constitution and to
set up an all-<party government.
But government armies have made
vast gains since Jan. 13, the date
of a truce subsequently shot full
of holes by both armies.
