China’s Ex-Warlord Li Chi-sen Seen For Chinese Presidency
An elderly former warlord, Li Chi-sen, 64, who recently left Hong Kong for Communist territory, is eyed by the Communist leadership as a possible president for a coalition government in China. Li and his faction aim to rally anti Chiang Kai-shek forces and may be absorbed by the Reds, as observers note his candidate could attract technicians and administrators to a non purely Red regime. Li hails from Kwangsi Province and is described as short and portly, often wearing a skull cap and gown.

Expert Says Truman Social Security Plan Not Too Expensive
A government expert said President Truman’s proposed public assistance program would be relatively easy on federal finances. James M. Hoey, head of the Social Security Administration bureau, noted cost estimates are uncertain but that federal costs would cover roughly half of state relief outlays, with the plan aiding the needy beyond the current aged, blind, and dependent children program. The budget calls for a 65 million dollar appropriation to launch the broadened program, with federal shares ranging from 40 to 75 percent as states prepare plans for federal approval.
