In an exclusive interview with the United Press today, the 18-year-old former head of the Kuomintang's anti- Communist section asked why the United States "spends millions to expose American Communists and exclude them from the government while they are still not giving up attempts to include them in the Chinese Government?"

Tokyo, Sept. 8.-Whether another earthquake approach- ing the severity of the historic 1933 disaster, which took a death toll of nearly 100,000, will strike the Tokyo- Yokohama area in the near future, was deliberated today by Japanese seismologists, some of whom warned that the country may expect a shock within the coming few months.
