By WALTER RUNDLE United Press Staff Correspondent CALCUTTA, Dec. 28.—Gen. Ho Ying-Chin’s retention as Chinese. army chief of staff was regarded in authoritative quarters today as one of the principal stum-|

long dispute between China's Communists and the Kuomintang. The Communists insist it will be impossible to agree to Kuomintang demands that they submit their armies to a Chungking command as long as Ho retains his post.

He not only is recognized as one of the most bitter and outspoken foes of China's Communists but also has been accused as being responsible for corruption of the Chinese armed forces,

Up on Calculus

ONE OF THOSE OPA fellows— probably the author of Rationing Regulation 1305.1, Subsection IIA as amended—has a job now with the internal revenue bureau. They must have let him do some work in drafting rules and

definitions for the new simplified tax act. He didn’t do much of the work. The new tax law shows that, It is too simple. Jhere is only one job he was permitted to perform. | This year blind persons are | treated in a special way when they pay their income tax. They get -an extra $500 exemption.

It was because of Ho, informeds~ But to stop every Joe and Jo-

mintang - Communist negotiations bogged down after Maj. Gen. Patrick J. Hurley, U. S. ambassador and presidential representative to Chungking, had induced the Communist leader, Chou -En-Lai, to travel from Yenan for a series of conferences. It was learned that settlement of China’s national disunity was promised by Generalissimo Chiang KaiShek in exchange for removal of U. S. Gen. Joseph W. Stillwell fron the China command. * Faced with the problem of removing Ho, Chiang reportedly attempted a compromise by replacing him wi'h Gen. Chen Cheng as war minister while saving Ho's face by retaining him as chief of staff,

Refuses to Eliminate Ho

Reliable sources also revealed that Chungking attempted another half measure in answer to the Communist demand for a coalition government, offering Chou the post of vice premier, formerly held by Dr. H. H. Kung. Chiang's acceptance of Kung's resignation remained unannounced pending efforts to secure an agreement with Chou. | Although the vice premiership was) far short of the Communist idea | of a coalition government, souices| close to the situation said such an appointment might have been the basis “for a settlement except for Chungking's refusal to eliminate Ho entirely. Would Lose Position

The Communists reportedly are convinced that Gen. Ho immediately

many areas they now hold. Their contention is that any such move would be impractical because the Communist armies operate chiefly as guerrilla forces and are dependent in a large measure upon the support of the people .n their areas for-their effectiveness. With _ their armies dissipated across the various China fronts, they would lose their nosition as] the most rapidly growing and most| important political and military power in China outside Chungking.

SPECIALISTS SOUGHT BY WAG RECRUITERS,

Because of the still-critical short- | age of army nurses the WAC re- | cruiting program during 1945 will | attempt to enlist as many women as possible for hospital and surgical | technicians, the war department announced. The enlistment quota has been reduced and recruiting staffs will be smaller but the army is still re- | cruiting women having specialized | skills to maintain the corps at its! level of efficiency. | Some of the categories for which there is a continuing demand are |

sephine from claiming he is blind to save that extra money, the treasury people have to decide what constitutes blindness. The average person would say a blind individual is somebody who can not see. But not this OPA fellow. That would be carrying simplicity to an extreme, apparently. Instead, here's what he came up with: “For the purposes of this subsection, the term ‘blind individual’ means an individual whose centralvisual acuity does not exceed 20/200 in the better eye with correcting lenses, or whose visual acuity is greater than 20/200 but is accompanied by a limitation in the fields of vision such that the widest diameter of the visual field subtends an angle no greater than 20 degrees.” You have to brush up on your calculus to get the answer there. Honestly, we can't tell from this who is blind. Best thing to do is to take your oculist along when you file your income tax return or to have affidavits from three other people who can't see either. But be careful of those subtended angles.
