NEW DELHI. India —UP— The

without penalties, had not proved
strong enough to stamp out the
practice. _________________________

it to no wonder that Chiang
wants no cease fire. As he sees it.
a cease fire can only help the
Communists. The argument that
a cease fire would reduce Far
Eastern tension makes no appeal
to him.
Chiang has been fighting the
Communists most of the time since
1927. In that year, when President
Eisenhower was an army major.
Chiang as the Nationalist leader
of China broke with the left wing
of his Kuomintang party. He start-
ed a mass purge of Communists,
and fighting started.
Chiang fought the Reds for 10
years until, in 1937, the Japanese
invaded China. The anti-Red fight

He was almost a dead ringer
for the forger whose picture was
on the wall. He had a small
scar on the bridge of his nose, his
right shoulder was lower than his

Cease-Fire Isn't
Popular With
Chiang's Troops
By CHARLES M. MCCANN
United Press Foreign Analyst
The Chinese Nationalists seem
to feel that any cease fire in the
Formosa strait might hurt their
chancea of ever returning to the
mainland.
The reason for that feeling to
plain.
Generalissimo Chiang Kal-Shek
has an army of about 500,000 men.
They are good men. But it has
been 5 1-2 years since the Reds
overran China and Chiang with-
drew to Formosa.
The Nationalist troops have been
cut off, all that time, from their
homeland and their families. They
have been subject to the soldier's
homesickness and discourage-
ment. They want to fight their way
back.
Tenth Needed for Army
It to no military secret that sol-
diers in the mass do not necessa-
rily Improve with age. To main-
tain an army, the leaven of youth
to needed.
The Communists now have Chi-
na's vast reservoir of manpower
to draw upon. Chiang has only 8
million population on Formosa.
And the unpleasant fact is that the
Formosans show no eargerness to
gird for a crusade to retake Chi-
na. They just want to be let alone.

NICHOLS REPORTS
ON WHAT'S NEW
IN WASHINGTON
By HARMAN W. NICHOLS
WASHINGTON —UP— What’s
new in Washington:
The National Trade Pollcy Com-
mission held a luncheon at the
Statler hotel. The master of cere-
monies hammered a gavel and said
that when he announced a guest,
everybody should give only one
hand clap. Idea was to save time
The first time, the audience beat
palms like always, by the dozen.
But as time wore on, it came down
to one clap — even for the end
of the main speech. It was some-
thing new in Washington—a meet-
ing winding up on time.
Old Clark Griffith at age 85 looks
happily forward to great things for
the Washington baseball club he
owns. The forward look to at least
a decade ahead, but the old man
figures he may live to see his
grandson, Clark II, son of Calvin
Griffith, in an NAT'S uniform. The
well-stocked youngster to a second
baseman for the Friends school

as his pappy. Cal, and weighs 165.

By HENRY McLEMORE
In my spare time I have the
habit of loitering in poet offices,
and while post office loitering
isn’t as much fun, say, as hang-
ing around the lobbiea of bur-
lesque houses. It could be much
more profitable.
Post office walls are always
decorated with pictures of men
wanted by the police authorities,
and there is always a chance that
one of them will come in to pick
up a jar of cookies from home, a
new barrel for his sawed-off shot-
gun, or a letter from his moll.
There to a reward for the cap-
ture of moat of the men, and what
better way to pick up a little pin
money than throwing a bank rob-
ber to the floor, wresting away
, his tommy gun, and sitting on
him until the sheriff arrives? I
have watched enough private eye
shows and cowboy pictures on TV
to know that the odds against a
man in the right getting hurt are
at least 10,000 to one, especially
if he to accompanied by a pretty
girl or a small boy with a
freckled face and the audacity of
a lion.
I don't have the small boy to
tag along with me, but Mary to a
very pretty blonde and while it
vexes her to have to hang around
post offices with me when she
would much rather be home mak-
ing needlepoint antimacassars for
the living room, she usually goes
along.

afternoon, and I am sure he
would have been good -for enough
reward to buy us new coats for
next winter.

about 100 of them into his orchid
hothouse by a wheelbarrow.
There, on advice from a veteri-

shots and eadly watched while the
revived animals ate his precious
blooms, many of which were worth
more than the animal that de-
voured them.
The sheep were property of Nick
