Chiang's Son Emerges
As Ruthless Defender
Of China's Currency
By the Associated Press
SHANGHAI, Sept. 11.—A strohg
new personality. Generalissimo
Chiang Kai-shek’s Russian-educat
ed son, has rocketed into the
Chinese liir.elight he so long avoided.
He is Maj. Gen. Chiang Ching
kuo, short, thick-set, energetic and
appearing far younger than his 39
years. He is the economic, czar of
Shanghai.
When China’s new currently be
gan circulation August 23. President
Chiang sent his elder son to this
financial center of the nation to try
to make the gold yuan stick.
The father gave the son full pow
ers, wider than he has delegated to
any other military or political
leader.
Young Chiang's vigorous, fearless
actions, on which the financial fig
ure of his country may in large
part depend, already are becoming
legendary.
Death Penalty Imposed.
He has reached boldly into the
"privileged families’’ of Shanghai's
big business and arrested some of
their choicest scions. He has set up
a special tribunal which has passed
out and actually enforced the death
sentence for violating the stringent
new financial laws.
He has set special gendarme teams
to hunt hoarders, patrol the shops
and check prices. He has opened
public-complaint bureaus which
offer rewards to informers.
Gossip says he often has dressed
like a coolie and nosed through the
’market places like a modern, but
less benign, Harun al Rashid.
He has called in leaders of the
1 business world and lectured them
|on their obligations, and on the
penalties for disobedience.
Shanghai was shocked. The pas*
120 years of ineffectual reform waves
I had led to cynical doubts. Now the
I talk is, "Perhaps they really mean
jit this'time,”
Dislikes Publicity.
Young Chiang’s present assign
ment is the biggest he ever has
i had. He has held no official posi
! lion in Nanking and his name sel
i dom has appeared in the news. Oc
casional he has acted as a quiet
troubleshooter for his father on
special missions where the prestige
of his name was sufficient to make
orders stick. —
1 Even now he dislikes publicity.
When the Shanghai papers ran a
| rare news photo of him, they quickly
’got a "request" not to do so again.
His reason: He prefers to operate
incognito as much as possible.
Intentional}’, his background is
little known He was born in Feng
hwa in Chekiang Province in 1909,
son of the generalissimo's first wife,
usually referred to as the late Ma
dame Mao.
In 1925. as a lad of 16, he was
sent to the Soviet Union to school.
He remained there 12 years.
After-studying at the Leningrad
Military and Political Academy and
taking social science and engineer
ing courses in Moscow, he went to
the Ural Mountains for poet-gradu
ate engineering work.
There he met his Eusian w’ife,
a fellow-student named Fanny Va
halieva. They have a 12-year-oid
son, a 10-year-old daughter and an
mfant son.
Australia recently had torrential
rains, heaviest in 10 years in some
areas, which held up trains but

happy.
Polio Virus Scientists
Test Dots Moving
In Nerve of Monkey
By tht Associated Press
TORONTO, Sept. 11.—A new pos
sible way of tracing infantile pa
ralysis virus in the human body was
opened here yesterday.
Two research scientists showed
pictures of tiny dots that may be
! polio virus moving inside a nerve. If
these dots actually are the virus, the
pictures are an important discov
ery.
They might be a new way to learn
how the virus gets into the body
and how it moves along nerve path
ways to do its damage.
Monkey Nerve Photographed.
The photographs were made by
Dr. E. Derobertis and Dr. Francis
O. Schmitt of the Massachusetts
Institute of Technology, with a pow
erful election microscope. They
were shown to the Electron Micro
scope Society of America.
The scientists took pictures of the
sciatic nerve of a monkey which had
been infected with polio vims. The
tiny, oval dots could be seen in the
tubule of the nerve, an inner por
tion of the nerve which may be
hollow. The pictures indicated the
dots moved along the nerve tubule.
“We do not claim that these par
ticles that appear as dots in the
nerve tubule are necessarily the
polio virus, but the pictures do sug
gest that they are the virus or else
i are intimately connected with it,’
i Dr. Derobertis said.
Very Small Virus.
A great handicap in polio research
is that the polio vims is much
smaller than most disease organ
isms. Using the electron micro
