CHINA (Continued On Page Two) residence in China and his wide quaintance with Chinese leaders, Stuart is regarded by this government's top foreign policy makers as an outstanding on the country, In the reauthority, port, by which the State department announced that it was giving up all hone, that the Nationalists could China from Communism, Stuart's dispatches to Washington played an important part.

In recent months he has particularly emphasized the growing weakness of the Nationalist regime due to divisions among its leaders, including a lack of cooperation between acting President Li Tsungjen and Generalissimo Chiang Kaishek, the former president. Stuart foresaw at that time a "fragmentation" of the non-Communist area of China with the defense of each province against Red advances falling more and more into the hands of provincial leaders. This latter is an important point in the development of further American policies trying to slow down, if not to halt, further Communist advances. There seems to no doubt that one line of action which the administration is considering is aid to those anti-Communist forces which give real promise of continuing their fight. In addition, Acheson declared in his white paper letter to President Truman that the United States should encourage all developments in China which worked toward throwing off the "foreign yoke" of Communism.

Stuart has lived in recent months in Communist-controlled Nanking and presumably will be able to counsel Acheson and the President on the popular attitude, insofar as he has observed it, toward Red rule.

Acheson Talk Slated In addition to the Senate hearing, Secretary of State Acheson is scheduled for a closed-door meeting of the House foreign affairs committee. After Johnson had completed his testimony, Gen. Omar Bradley, Army Chief of Staff, took over. He said that if the American people want to use the advantage gained in the "cold war," they must move quickly at establishing a long range pibradley and defense.

the military heads of the Navy Air Force, Admiral Louis Denfeld and Gen. Hoyt S. Vandenberg, have just returned from a 10-day trip to Europe where they confered with military chiefs of Atlantic pact nations. They confined their discusisons to problems of organization. Bradley said the five nationsBritain, the Netherlands, Luxembourg, France and Belgium--which signed the western pact "are the nucleus of resistance on which any North Atlantic defense plans must be based." "Your joint Chiefs of Staff have examined the defense concept of the western union and have found that it is an accordance with our strategic thinking," he said.

Bradley said no longer can the U. S. go it alone on its military planning. "Exhaustion of our moral and material resources would the result," he said. "For that reason, the joint Chiefs of Staff urge the enactment of this legislation." Bradley vigorously opposed any reduction in the proposed amount.

He said every item in the bill had been carefully considered, and had been found essential. The tide of Communism is being stemmed in Europe, he declared, and added: "We are not impelled by crisis, or desperation, or fear of impending war." Bradley said that if there were such a crisis he would recommend I am sure you would insist -a greater effort than is called for in this program. Much of the discussion has dealt with a plan that Vandenberg, the Republicans' top man in foreign affairs, thinks may make the foreign arms program more acceptable to Congress.

There is still need for control for those in the poor and medium economic groups." Councilman Lester L. Bates said he had asked for a postponement of vote on Mr. Mays' resolution until today, because he was hoping "all members of council would vote for decontrol which would be well received by the public.

I think Mr. Monteith's plan is practically the same as Mr. Mays', I'm for decontrol outright, though." Mr. Monteith. Mr.

Doughton and the mayor voted against Mr. Mays' resolution. Council's rent control discussion today was again attended by property owners and members Columbia real estate board. Augustus T.

Mays' plan meant they had not found from the recent public hearing that there were enough vacancies in the city, it would probably be necessary to have another hearing before they took, action.

She stated that she threatened to call the police and Professor agreed to leave if all would leave; that Professor Maxey started out the front door first and she then latched the door tight and told the Proscreen fessor not to disturb her further. After outlining her legal problems and explaining her difficulties with Maxey, she sought the lawyer's advice; and since the Professor was apparently lingering outside the house, the lawyer suggested that she call a physician friend of hers. which she did, informed him of her situation and that she was leaving the house for awhile with the lawyer in an effort to get the Professor to leave the premises. Miss Pierce stated that the attorney and she walked to the attorney's car parked in the road in front of her home, and as they approached the car walked up from behind and remarked: "That is a likely story that you have been that the attorney then talked with Maxey about the unreasonable position he was taking in regard to the nurse, and then they rode off. leaving Maxey in front of her home.

She stated the attorney was apprehensive of her safety and insisted that she not return to the house unless she obtained protection, but that she was not fearful of physical violence; that between a half an hour and an hour later, after they stopped at a drive-in restaurant on the highway for a sandwich and coffee, the attorney drove her home; and since Maxey's car was no longer there, they assumed that he had left, and the attorney then escorted her to the door and left upon the assurance that she would call her physician friend and inform him of her return. Sheriff Heise stated that Miss Pierce's statement concerning the events preceding the assault was -substantially corroborated by her attorney, who, upon his return to Columbia the night following the assault, and reading about it in the newspapers, immediately called the sheriff's office and gave him the information he had about the case. It was after the call to her physician friend, and while Miss Pierce was preparing for bed that Professor Maxey struck her down with a pistol, and thus began her struggle for survival that lasted until she was rescued by the officers. Miss Pierce stated that she utilized her knowledge as a nurse in protecting her head with her hands and arms when Professor Maxey attempted to strike her with the pistol; and when he sought to choke her, she would muster up all her strength and loosen his fingers from her throat long enough to enable her to breathe in sufficient air to remain conscious, because she felt that she would not survive if she once lost consciousness. a The Solicitor stated that he would seek an indictment against Maxey at the next term of General Sessions court, which convenes September 6, 1949.
