Generalissimo

Nanking, Aug, 29.

Chiang Kai-shek, presiding over the regular meeting of the State Council to-- day, told members: "We must do the best work for our own salvation." He urged strict enforcement of economy measures to improve the nation's economic position. The Council members said the group discussed at some length the Wedemeyer statements, parti- cularly the question whether it represented his own viewpoint or that of the United States, As the Council mei, General Red.held Shentung peninsula, Chow brag (chief of staff of the news from Loyang

Strike Grows: More Men Out

London, Aug. 29. Twenty thousand more miners, flaunting their Union and the Labour Government, joined the spreading South Yorkshire coal strike last night and today.

The strike, coupled with the Government's alleg- ed timidity in rallying Britain to overcome the worsening economic crisis, brought new demands for a drastic Cabinet shake-up from quarters hitherto friendly to the Attler ad- ministration.
