VOLUME XLVI EDITORIAL PHOXE 4JS1 CHAPEL HILL, N. C., . TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 23, 1937 KC3ZXES3 PHOSZ 4JJ4 NUMBER 53 Handy Andy' Bershak Given NE A Choice For End Berth On All-America First Team No. 59 Hailed Among Nation's Best roposed Debate Plans Cancelled. P World News o By Nelson Large - CHIANG KAI-SHEK URGED TO SURRENDER BY JAPS Shanghai, Nov. 22. Japanese airmen making their first flight over Nanking since the Chinese transferred the capital to Chungking dropped a note to day from the Japanese govern ment urging -: Generalissimo Chiang KairShek to surrender. Only a note urging cessation of hostilities, not the usual rain of bombs, was released from a plane by Lieutenant McChifumi Nango, one of Japan's ace pilots. The Japanese fliers were at tacked by Chinese pursuit planes, and after engaging them 'in very spectacular dog fights over Nanking, one of the Jap anese scout planes crashed. During the air battle there was very little anti-aircraft fire from the Chinese defenses. This was interpreted as a possible in dication that some of the bat teries had been moved to Chung king and Hankow to protect the new government , headquarters in those cities. ' - The new Chinese war planes so nearly resembled the craft used by the Japanese that they puzzled ground defenses. Siren operators mistook the new fight ing craft for Japanese, and al lowed the danger' signals to wail long after the raiders had gone. Because China has recently received 50 new planes from Russia, it was believed that this demonstration was the debut of reinforcements for China's shat tered air forces. The mysterious message "ad vised" Chiang to end China's re sistance and to surrender him self to the Japanese. A Japanese spokesman acknowledged that a personal message had been dropped at Nanking but would not disclose its contents. The capture of Wusth, one of the last strongholds of China's Nanking defenses, was reported by Japanese.
