American Tempers
In China Crow Short
Over Continued Jibes
By the Associated Press
SHANGHAI, June 21.—The bitter
anti-American feeling of China’s
intelligensia is being reflected in an
equally unsympathetic anti-Chinese
feeling among Americans in China.
American nationals are tired of
being continual targets of demon
strations by students and professors
and of disapproval of official circles
while the United States pours hun
dreds of millions of dollars into
the attempted salvation of the
country.
The nation-wide student protests
against American aid in returning
Japan to its economic feet reached
a climax in Peiping. Students there
refused relief rations from the
United States. They were supported
by 80 professors, including 61-year
oid Prof. Robert Winter of Craw
fordsville, Ipd., who is on loan to
Tsinghua University by the Rocke
feller Foundation.
Disapproval Unconcealed.
An American businessman ex
pressed the general attitude:
“Do they expect us to spend mil
lions of dollars daily to keep Japan
weak and at the same time spend
hundreds of millions in another try
to make China strong which prob
ably won't succeed any more than
in the past.”
The Uninese government iriea to
soft p«dal the anti-American out
breaks until a new loan was in the
bag. Now that China seems as
sured of continued aid from the
United States, government spokes
men take few pains to disguise their
disapproval of the American pro
gram in Japan.
Americans here retort: It isn't
what America is doing for Japan
that is a threat to China, but what
China is failing to do for herself.
Thev contend that China could
well be on the road to becoming
the leader in Asia if the help given
her had been wisely expended.
Unable to Solve Problems.
Instead, China has been unable
to resolve its internal war, institute
needed reforms, or set herself on
the road to recovery.
Having failed to stabilize either
her economy or currency she sees
again the prospect of Japan assum
ing the economic leadership of the
Orient.
Despite the steady stream of
American aid, American business
men point out that they have been
discriminated against steadily since
V-J day; that American businesses
have been forced out of operation
because of Chinese government
monopolies and, despite assurances
from Nanking, the monopolies are
steadily being strengthened.
American tempers as well as Chi
nese are growing thin and the op
posing viewpoints are spreading
farther apart.

GERMANS TURN IN OLD MARKS FOR NEW—In accordance with new currency regulations im
posed by Western Allies in their German zones, Germans exchanged their old Reichsmarks for
the new Deutsche marks at a food station in Frankfurt yesterday. An official at the left is
shown as he counted Reichsmarks already exchanged while another official took new marks from
stacks to exchange for the old offered by persons at the counter.

U. S. Trains to Berlin
Halted Rather Than
Allow Red Inspection
By the Associated Pres*
BERLIN, June 21. —Supply
trains for Berlin’s 10,000 or so
Americans are at a standstill
today because of a United States
Russian deadlock stemming from
currency reform.
The Soviet commander in Ger
many later declared the money re
form completes the division of Ger*
many.
American freight trains to Berlin
must pass through the Soviet occu
pation zone and American author
ities stopped them last night rather
than submit their cargoes to Soviet
inspection. The air remained the
only supply channel.
Auto Traffic Still Blocked.
A british armored car moved up
to within sight of the Russians at
Helmstead today as the Soviet
blockade of Allied automobile traffic
remained in force for the third
straight day.
On the Russian side of the frontier,
Russian guards appeared with fixed
bayonets.
Russian officials insisted Inspec
tion of freight trains was necessary
to keep smugglers from bringing
currency worthless in the Western
zones into the Soviet zone and Ber
lin, where it is still good.
Germany's old Reichmarks lose
their worth in the United States,
British and French zones under a
currency reform begun by the three
Western powers yesterday to fight
inflation and the black market.
They are being replaced by a new
unit—the Deutsche mark—whose
value is to be made known, prob
ably next week.
Breaking of Agreements Charged.
In a letter made public early
today. Marshal Sokolovsky said the
money reform breaks Big Four
agreements and completes the divi
sion of Germany.
The letter replied to one from
Gen. Lucius D. Clay, United States
commander and military governor,
notifying Marshal Sokolovsky of
the step. It was much like the
marshal's proclamation to the Ger
man people Saturday.
West Germans began turning In
old marks for new at exchange of
fices . yesterday. Each got 40 new
ones to tide him over and a promise
of 20 more in a month in a straight
trade, mark for mark.
Exchange Rate to Be Set.
This week they will hand over
the rest of their old marks. Then
they will be told how many new
ones they are to get back.
The international exchange rate
also is still to be set. The new
military rates Inside Germany were
announced yesterday by the United
State sand British armies. Their
personnel will get' one new mark
for 30 cents, 13t» marks for a pound
sterling. The rates have been a
mark for 10 cents, 40 marks for a
pound.
In FranKiurt. Allied omciais
said the issuance of 10,000,000,000
new marks has been authorized for
Western Germany. They said this
is the maximum amount of the new
“Deutsche marks’’ German banks
will be allowed to circulate after the
completion of currency reform.
Germany now has about 10 times
more money in circulation than be
fore the war. There are an esti
mated 100,000,000,000 marks circu
lating.
Might Issue More.
If the international value of the
mark is set at 30 cents, the total

Blasts in Operating Rooms
The Federal Works Agency today
announced formation of a special
committee to study the causes and
prevention of explosions In hospital
operating rooms.
These explosions, news of which
seldom reach the public, usually are
caused by a static or other electrical
spark igniting anesthetic gases.
Contrary to general belief, the
issue of new money would be worth
$3,000,000,000. The officials said they
are unable to say how much of the
new money will be put into circula
tion in the near future.
It 'was understood that If, after
a certain period, West Germany's
economy gets back on its feet, fur
ther issues of a maximum of 1,000,
000.000 marks at a time may be per
mitted under restricted conditions.
Western zone authorities tried to
stop money smuggling into the Rus
sian zone. United States zone Ger
man police arrested 80 suspected
smugglers, some carrying as much
as 80,000 old marks. The British
seized some half a million old marks
from Germans bound through
Helmstedt for the Soviet zone.
Too Busy to Attend Session.
Apparently believing the danger
of inflationary buying had been
lessened, the Western Allies took
automobiles, bicycles, clocks, watches
and some household goods off the
ration list.
Soviet officials informed the Allied
Kommandatura today that, Col.
Alexander Jelisavov, deputy Russian
commandant, will be too busy to at
tend Wednesday's meeting of the
four deputy commandants.
It had been expected that the
question of currency reform would
be discussed at the agency’s meet
ing. Col. Jelisarov walked out of the
last meeting of the Kommandatura
last week, and Allied officials ex
pressed the opinion the Russians
would boycott it in the future, as
they did the Allied control council.
accidents occur "all too frequently,”
According to Walton C. Clark, Public
Buildings Administration engines,
who will head the committee. He
cited one survey, carried over sev
eral years, which revealed more
than 250 such explosions. They re
sulted, he said, in 434 injuries and
27 deaths.
The survey will be carried on par
ticularly in relation to new hospitals
being designed by the Federal Gov
ernment. Results are expected to
be applied to the huge 500-bed re
search center planned at Bethesda.
The problem has grown in recent
years, Mr. Clark pointed out, be
cause modern anesthetics are much
more explosive than the old ether i
and chloroform gases. Most of the
gases also are heavier than air,
which places the greatest danger
from sparks at the floor line.
A special subcommittee, headed
by K. R. Nisbet of the Army Corps
of Engineers, Mr. Clark said, will
prepare tentative specifications for
operating room floors that will in
clude provisions to make certain
they are properly grounded. The
group also will consider ventilation,
proper grounding of equipment and
the safest type of clothing that
operating personnel can wear.

Rheumatic Foundation
Here Plans Fund Drive
For Clinic Fellowships
The District Foundation lor
Rheumatic Diseases will launch a
fund drive next November to estab
lish resident fellowships in rheu
matic clinics at Georgetown and
George Washington University Hos
pitals, it was learned today.
The foundation was incorporated
several weeks ago by a group of
Washington residents and physi
cians to launch an organized attack
on arthritic ailments which disable
thousands of victims.
Mrs. Joseph T. Elsward, president
of the foundation and herself an
arthritis sufferer, said the plan to
raise funds was decided at a meet
ing of newly appointed trustees
last week at her home, 4441 Haw
thorne street N.W.
The group decided to hold a week
long fund drive each November, to
begin the day before Thanksgiving.
Eventually, she said, the founda
tion hopes to establish a researclj
center, complete with laboratories,
at a hospital nere. The immediate
aim, however, is to get the resident
fellowships established at the two
university hospitals, she said.
Members of the Board of Trustees,
Mrs. Elward announced, include
Senators Kem, Republican, of Mis
souri; Capper, Republican, of
Kansas, and Pepper, Democrat, of
Florida, and their wives; Morris
Cook, Mrs. Wiley Rutledge, Mrs.
Louis Renfrow, Judge Frank Myers,
Mrs. K. P. Landon, Henry Tetlow,
Mrs. Earl Baldwin McKinley, and
James A. Councilor. Chairman of
the board is Attorney Harry Slat
tery.
Mrs. Elward said 15 doctors in
this area will be members of a
special medical advisory board to
the foundation. The group will meet
again July 15.
