China famine relief plea stirs international aid bids
The article notes a severe famine in China after civil war, with 16 million affected per Communist figures and up to 63 million claimed by private letters. Chinese Nationalists, Western relief groups, and religious bodies seek ways to deliver aid, while safe conduct for missions remains a hurdle. It also discusses U S federal action on slot machines as a broader solution to crime and gambling.
