Moscow Talks with Red Chinese Solve Power Politics Problem By JOHN M. HIGHTOWER WASHINGTON (AP)—Generalissimo Stalin has consolidated Russia’s power position in the Far East, apparently as a counter to American power, through the agreements reached in the Moscow talks with Red Chinese leaders. This is the outstanding single accomplishment of the conference which ended two days ago after a month of meetings between Chinese Premier Chou En-lai and top Soviet officials. But American officials are certain it is not by any means the only important result. Speculation is that wrapped up in the secrecy behind the iron curtain are vital decisions bearing on the future of war—or peace—in Korea and on America’s own far eastern power position anchored in Japan. What the official announcement of the conference showed, authorities here asserted, was simply that Russia had succeeded in backing out of a treaty commitment to withdraw from the Manchurian naval base of Port Arthur. Until they had maneuvered this, the Soviets were under legal and moral compulsion, by a 1950 agreement with Red China, to quit Port Arthur this year. In the cold blooded terms of power relationships they would have been yielding a major position opposite Japan. They solved their problem by making a deal with Red China. With one slight exception, in the opinion of government experts here, the terms of this deal are not yet known. The exception is the published agreement that while remaining in Port Arthur at the officially announced “request” of the Chinese Reds, the Russians will yield control of the important Changchun railway, which serves the base. A state department press officer suggested yesterday that even the release of the railway will be more apparent than real because, he said; the Soviets will retain control of its terminals. The state department was extremely reserved in initial reaction to the Moscow announcement that the Chinese talks were finished. Officials said facts may be weeks in coming and may take the form of action rather than pronouncements.

GAZETTE PHOTO Little Hope Held for Early End to Costly Aircraft Production Strike LOS ANGELES (AP) — Despite resumption of negotiations at one plant, there was little if any indication today of an early end to the strike which has crippled Southern California’s warplane production and idled 40,000 aircraft workers. Representatives of Lockheed Aircraft Co. and the AFL International Association of Machinists negotiate here again this afternoon before Federal Mediator Harry Malcom. Youths Booked for Auto Stealing Two Anaheim boys, aged 14, were arrested last night and booked for auto thefts by local police. Patrolmen spotted the youths driving a car taken from the Anaheim Nash Co. used car lot. The boys were stopped in an alley between Los Angeles and Lemon sts., between Adele and Cypress sts. They tried to run, but were caught and taken to the station. They are being held in juvenile hall at Santa Ana. After yesterday's meeting, the first since 25,000 IAM members struck Lockheed Sept. 8, Vice President Cyril Chappellet of the company announced that a new offer had been made. He said the offer would mean at least 7 cents more an hour for each worker and as much as 9 cents additional for some. Also, he said, all workers would receive about 2 cents hourly under an escalator clause, six paid holidays and improved group insurance. A union shop demand was rejected again. A union official denied that the offer bettered Lockheed's pre-strike proposals. The IAM demands 14 cents more hourly. Asked if progress was being made, Malcom said, "Any time people get together and talk over problems they are making progress." CAMBRIDGE (AP) — Sixteen years ago John MacDonald went out for a quart of milk and never returned home.

Soil Tests Made In Appeal by Little Mansions Appeal of Little Mansions, Inc., from a refusal by the county planning commission to approve a large subdivision on highway 39, south of Stanton, unless sewers were installed, has been taken under advisement by the county supervisors while new soil tests are being made to determine whether septic tanks would be suitable for sewage disposal there. Earlier tests, when a previous application of Little Mansions was turned down, indicated that septic tanks would not provide suitable disposal. The latest denial was appealed yesterday to the supervisors through Attv. Robert Jacobs of Santa Ana, and the board agreed to consider the matter, while new soil tests are being made. A subdivision committee of the planning commission had recommended approval with septic tanks, but the commission as a whole overruled this recommendation. Little Mansions plans to subdivide a 54-acre tract into 215 lots, including a two-acre shopping center. The subdividers contend that it would cost them $50,000 to install sewers.
