CARE IS URGED IN CELEBRATION Commending local citizens on the order they maintained dur ing the Christmas holidays, W. K.

ON THE AIR Shortly before the announce ment that a plan had been sub mitted to the communists in writ-1 ing, the Generalissimo went on the air.

ARMY LIMITATION The only condition set on this arrangement by the Generalissimo was that those other representa tives “must not maintain autono mous armies to serve as instru ments for forcible seizure of pow er.” The communists have been maintaining a separate army in North China and likewise have been holding out for a later meet ing of the constitutional assembly, claiming that otherwise it would be packed for the Kuomintang or National party. The generalissimo asserted, how ever, that the government was pre pared to Increase the number of the assembly "so that leading per sonages” of “other political par ties may also take part.” SYMPHONY SET HERE APRIL 3 Scope Of Musical Group Coming Depends On Ex tent Local Support Shelby Is scheduled April 3 for one of the more than 100 concerts the North Carolina Symphony Or chestra will give throughout the state, it was learned today from Miss LaLene Grigg, local chairman who I received the notification from of ficials of the State Symphony So ciety.
