Supreme Power For Marsall Rejected Communists Retuse Nationalists' Plan Nanking. June Di ll'l’l -Coni' niuiilsl hade s have rejected a Nationalist government propostil to give supreme power of artiltru lion to Gen. George <’. Mar hall. It was announced offl< tally today Exuti nature of the proposal was not made public but It was thought the plan for the reorganisation of the Commiiiibt armies and troop ratios in Manchuria were the principal obstacles to Its acceptance. Marshall'* power would be pass cd down to the American neiiilivrs of the executive headquarters and field teams. The Communists only aea route from the Shantung peninsula to Manchuria was cut by Nationalist warships yesterday under oiders of tlie Cliina northeast command. Nationalist troops occupied the small but strategic Changshati Archipelago of eight islands at the mouth of the gulf of Chihli. Government occupation of the islands formerly held by the Com miiiiisls was regarded as a slrat calc maneuver of great slgnlll cattcf. menacing the Communist militaty position in southern .Man churlu Reliable source- said today the Kuomintang military clique was determined to control .ill of Man churla and communications vital to China's economy. Though willing to sign an agree ment with Marshall, they‘are said to lie determined to light for Man chiirin's communications, prlncip ally the Tsiniin-Tsiiigtao railway on the Shantung peninsula As most of the Shantung projection is held by lh- Comiiiiinist bites, neutral observers say this v.lll undoubtedly lead Io a long, bloody war. Observers sal<l al l«st lite sil j nation would resolve into two main arcus of doininaiM e in central China. However, the Kiio.nlniaug I’, said to favor a "more liberal gov eimellt" if the Commuiiisis will reorganize their armies unde: the Integration plan.

The- justice cmI phaslaed that the procedure could be changed If found Io be unfair. .Me-aiiwllllc Ihe prosecution called atioilter witness to testify about Japan's pre-war education which i it claims was designed to inculcate the spirit of military aggression and fanaticism in Japanese i youth I professor Tokiomi Kaigo. of Tokyo Impeiial university, aald ■ that his country's educating sya- • tern caused most Japanese to think Japan was a superior nation ' with a mission to lead the world Kaigo said that on the bewd- of his experience as a student and ' a teacher, he liad found two sets ' of opinions among Japanese students between lf*32 and 11*45. He ' said Ihe lirst group believed that Japanese policy during and after the Manchurian incident was proper and wti- jiistilied by the theory 1 that Japan should exercise supicmacy In East Asia The icecond group was critical of Japanese policy during this period and did 1 not believe it was based upon principles of international justice. . —.-o— FOOD SUPPLIES (ConUaose from Paas Otie) per capita 111 1946-47 compared with about 145-150 pounds during the past year. This compares with a prewar average of 126 pounds. "The reduction in meat output." he said, "Is due chiefly to the fact that animals will go to market at lighter weight, and a ctnuller . . pig crop. This is In line with the government's program for conservation of food grains for direct human consumption.” Following is Anderson's outlook for other major food items in coming months: Wheat--civilians are slated to got 450,0(10,001) bushels from the ' 1946 crop which is expected to top a billion bushels for the third year in a row. Fats and oils — domestic consumption probably will be limited to somewhere near present ' short levels. Eggs and poultry—civilians will | get about 37U to 3XO eggs, 24 to 25 | pounds of chicken and four ■ pounds of turkey per capita. This ' would mean fewer eggs I him present, a 12 percent cut In c hicken and a 15 percent drop in turkey. Cheese—domestic supplies will total about 70.000,000 pounds a month, slightly more than last year. Fruits and vegetables —about "i, (itu,'.Olio taxes of canned fruits and fruit juices will Im- packed this season compared with 59,000,000 last year. Civilians will Mt about 64,000,000. They got 52.000.000 in 1945-46. Hice —U. 8. rice production still is uncertain hut exports will continue large. The probability , Is that civilians will gel less than they want.
