North China U. $. Marines Reinforced

Chinwangtao. North China, Nov. Marine garrison here, only nine miles south of the Chinese Communist stronghold of Shankai- kwan, was doubled today to almost 1000 men.
 The first battalion of the 18th Marine regiment under It. Col. Le- Roy Hunt landed to reinforce Ut. Col. John Geroley's battalion of the Seventh regiment as tension grew over skirmishes between Marine guards and Chinese Communists.
 Reports that Marines will be withdrawn from North China next month to avoid becoming involved in the Chinese civil war were viewed with skepticism after the Marine garrison was doubled.
 Sabotage Continues
 Nothing approaching major en- gagement has been fought. But Communist activity along the Man. churian border increased hourly as they sought to sabotage rail lines and other communications Of Chiang Kai-shek's Central Govern ment armies.
 Whether Chinese officials now desire removal of the Marines Is now known. It was understood that only two weeks ago the Chinese were eager to see U, s. forces pulled out as soon as Nationalist armies arrived in sufficient strength aC Peiping, the Tientsin area and Manchuria
 The Central Government armies undoubtedly hoped to move into Manchuria as the Red Army left without involving troOps-the Gen. tral sixth, 92nd and 84th armies which were flown into Peiping and Tientsin,
 Fight May Develop
 Now 1t appears that a fight lnto Manchuria across the Great Wal may develop with the result that some Chinese leaders want the Marines to remain as friends oi the Chinese people,
 Tn effect, this would mean that the armies flown to Peiping and Tientsin could be freed for the Manchurian push, leaving the Ma rines to hold these cities for Chiang

Opening PIoy Gives roupe Confidence
 "FootIighters" in
 Very CreditobIe
 Showing

FOllOWlnB UdlelT eACellelO PACoOA tation Tuesday evening of Death Takes a Holiday" before an en- thusiastic audience at the Water bury Women's Club, members of the ''Flootlighters" cast are justified in the belief that they have em- parked upon a very promising sea- son. Their initial effort of the 1945-46 season was staged impress sively. It has lent considerable confidence for future. enterprises.
 Edward Smith who was cast in the title role, Death turned in very creditable performance. Others called upon to take merited bows for contributing to the general suc- cess of the play were Rita Sepanski, Joan Vanasse and Pamela Me- Grath.
 Miss Sepanski's portrayal of Aida, a sophisticated wench who led Death merry chase, was we'll balanced and enjoyable bit of act ing done with sense Of enviable timing and brilliance.
 Joan Vanasse's Grazia, the inno- ICllO III Cdul Bllt ObJCSb VI 4(CdIAA affections and finally landed by that gentleman, was well received by the audience.
 Credit must also be given to the performance of Pamela McGrath who did a commendable job in por- traying timid, frightened Rhoda Fenton.
 George Holzer as Baron Cesara, comic wolf of the play frightened the more tense and dramatic mo- mentS as he tossed his outspoken lines across the footlights in manner befitting a Keenan Wynn.
 Equal credit was earned by the remainder of the cast who played their parts like veterans of the | boards. Some, crazed with fear Of Death, hysterical. mysterious, be- wildered may have shown a slight lack of timing and polish during the first act, but soon produced a smooth, well-balanced corps of ac- tors, to round out a cast of anna teur performers that is truly a credit to Waterbury and an object Of future speculation.
 Ernestine Seaward as Grala S fear crazed mother; Charles Stier as the mad host, Duke Lambert: Victor Reynolds as Carrado; Mary Stier as Cora; Arthur Johnson as Fedele; Shirley Gray as Duchess Stephanie; Harry Kukenis as Eric Fenton, and George F'risbie, Jr., as Major Whitred all turned in bril- liant performances and are we'll deserving of the applause which the well pleased audience showered upon them.
 Production staff for Death Takes Holiday" which was written by Alberto Casella and translated by Walter Ferris for the American stage was:
 Charles Goodsel, director; pro- duction and set designer, Michael DelPo; properties, Dorothy Gass; lights, Betty Bailey; costumes, Eileen Whelan; sound, Marjorie Carey; publicity, Marguerite Frisbie; makeup, Sylvia Bochiechio; door, Margaret Hoyey and Esther Rhoden, and box office, Michael DelPo.

sionS of the Institute for Selec-
tive Placement for the Physically
Handicapped. Rice was a break
fast guest of the local branch OF
the Disabled American Veterans
at the Hotel Fort Shelby.
THE returning disabled vet
eran IL a problem" he said.
Because of his handicap he
may be laid off during the first
slack period. Some employers
might even be reluctant TO en-
ploy him because his disability
may cause the employer TO pay
higher workmen's compensa-
tion benefits"
AS a remedy he suggested
higher compensation for the dis
abled vet and the enactment Of
a law similar 10 Canada's which
protects him against discrimina-
tion in seeking employment Tn
der this law the federal govern
ment reimburSes the provinces in
full for workmen's compensation
paid 10 disabled veterans.
Rice pointed out dozens OF
other flaws in the veterans laws
TO the group of Is at the meeting.
He said these and their remedies
will be taken up at Ann Arbor
