St. Patrick Dance
by The Associated Press

CHICAGO, Mar. 18.-One woman
was killed and more than 100 per-
sons were injured last night when
a large section of a third-fioor
dance hall collapsed under the
weight of about 500 persons at
tending a st. Patricks Day cele-
bration.
Twelve of the 90 persons who
were treated at six hospitals were
reported in from serious to crit
ical condition. Several other per-
sons were given first-aid treatment
at the scene.
The dance and party. attended
by men, women anu children, was
in the top floor of a three-story
brick building at 3239 North Clark
street. near the busy intersection
of Clark street and Belmont ave-
nue.. 1t was sponsored by the Con-
naught Mems Social Club.
Mother of Four Killed.
The dead woman, who was re-
moved from under the wreckage
three hours after the floor caved in,
was identified as Mrs. Hunt, IS,
mother of four children. Two or her
children who were with her at the
party and dance were not injured.
Her body was identified by her hus-
band, John, 38, an electrician.
Hundreds of the merrymakers
were walking off the floor at the end
Of a dance number when a large
section of the floor collapsed. Scores
were hurtled headlong to the second
floor. AS the floor settled, parts OF
the false roof caved in.
Women and children screamed as
they were pitched down a slide
which was formed by large Sec
ton in the middle of the floor
Groups of men formed chains and
helped scores of persons to climb
UP the slanting floor. Others tied
ropes to chairs and threw them
down for those not injured tc
climb back to the uncollapsed Sec
ton of the third floor.

balances and six patrol wagons were
rushed to the scene. A crowd esti-
mated by police at 10000 impeded
the rescue work and ambulances
inched their way to the building tc
remove the injured to hospitals.
There was no explosion or fire
Fire Commissioner Michael j. Cor
rigan estimated the damage at
$25, 900.
John R. jenkins, IS, manager OF
the building which houses a group OF
stores and bowling alleys on the first
floor and bowling alleys and a poo
hall on the second floor, said he was
on the dance floor when it collapsed

men would revert to civilian life and
be liable to service just as any other
eligible citizen would be, he said.
The proposed temporary draft, on
the other hand, probably would re-
quire service for mot less than two
years." he estimated. Draftees
would be older than the UNIT per-
sonnel and would be assigned to
regular units.
In opening the hearings yester-
day Secretary of State Marshall, de-
clared UNIT and temporary return
of selective service would:
/. Show the world that this coun-
try intends to be strong and hold
its strength ready to keep Europe
both at peace and Free"
Backs Up State Department.
2. Back up the voice of the State
Department with a military pos
ture" that would convince Soviet
Russia and others that aggression
and appeasement are out of order.
3. Supplement the European Re-
covery Program by strengthening
regular armed forces, assuring ade-
quate trained reserve and thereby
proving this Nations leadership in
"furthering the perpetuation OF free
governments.
4. Provide the least expensive and
most practical means of maintain
ing a reasonable" military struc-
ture without wrecking the national
budget.
S. Avoid the dislocations and
dangers of universal CONSUMPTION
and possible casualty lists later by
preventing war.
Six of the 13 Senate committee
members yesterday expressed sup
port for training program. Sew
eral others indicated in questions to
Gen. Marshall that they incline to-
ward the plan but want more de-
tailed information.
The House Armed Services Com
mittee approved a UNIT bill last
July, but it has been bottled up in
the House Rules Committee. Chair
man Andrews said bill for tempo
rary revival of the draft, could be
passed by July II House members

The committee recessed early this

|kuomintang and Reds
Fight for Allegiance
|0f Peiping Students

PEIPING, China (CDN.- An un-
dercover war is being fought for the
theological allegiance OF Peiping's
5000 university students.
The adversaries are the Com
munist Party and the Kuomintang,
whose nationalist government the
Communist armies seek to over
throw.
The stakes are great, for Peiping
is China's intellectual center. Among
the bright and restless young men
and wbmen who stroll the campuses
of Peiping's half-dozen major uni
Iversities are China's future leaders.
The great majority Of the students
care neither for Communism nor
the Kuomintang. An eminent Amer
ican educator who has spent all his
life in China says:
Ninety per cent OF the students
dislike the Kuomintang, because
they consider 1t corrupt and inef1-
cient. Ninety-five per cent despise
the Communists, because they don't
want to live in a Communist state.
The tragedy is that they must choose
between the two"
Few Are Active Reds.
The number of ,dyed-in-red Com
munists among students and uni
versity teachers is believed to be
small.
But that the Communist recruit
ing program has been successful to
a large degree is evidenced by the
number of keen-eyed young men
and women who have melted into
Red China to become militant lead
ers of the revolutionary cause.
How many deserted Nationalist
territory because they were disillu-
stoned by the Kuomintang and how
many were genuine converts to
Communism Is not known. But, &C
cording to one liberal professor:
More of them would desert were
it not for the realization that, bad
as the Kuomintang is, there still is
some freedom of speech and thought
in Nationalist China, while in Red
China there is none.
Kuomintang Despised.
"As for myself, despise the Kuo-
mintang, but I hate the Communists
Many refugee students have come
to me with tears in their eyes to tell
me their parents have been liquidat-
ed because their crime was that they
owned a little land"
To ferret out Communist recruit
ing agents, the Kuomintang secret
police have planted spies in the
universities.
When a student antigovernment
demonstration was threatened two
months ago, hastily assembled Kuo-
mlntang supporters armed with
clubs showed up to do battle.
A freshman girl at Yenching Uni
versity left home to return a book
to former high school teacher and
failed to return.
Three days later she was released
by the police with the explanation
that the teacher was a member of
Communist ring in Peiping.

Jap Emperor Is Kept
Virtual Prisoner by
Officials Of Palace

TOKYO, Mar. 18 (CDN) A mans
house may be his castle as the say
ing goes, but in Japan in this occu-
patton year of 1948 it may also be
his prison.
Such at least is the situation with
respect to Emperor Hirohito and
his imperial palace.
Hirohito, "bulwark" against COM
munism, spiritual symbol of the
new democratic" Japan and chief
instrument of American occupation
policy, is a virtual prisoner today.
This is fact of which everybody
here in Tokyo knows.
Hirohito's keepers are top officials
of the imperial household ministry,
a stubborn island of feudalism in
Japan's postwar sea of democracy
His every move is dictated by i'm
perial household functionaries, most
of whom have been eating from the
Emperor's plate for most of their
adult lives.
'.'@ u Visitors Are Few. ss."
Eirohito can't even see his mother
as often as he would like He is per-
mitted few visitors. Those who get
through the jealousy guarded
palace gates are, for the most part,
scientists who share the Emperor's
interest in botany and biology.
The ill-concealed arrogance Of
the palace clique is often a source
of annoyance to American occupa-
ton officials who have been exposed
to it.
But whatever their feelings may
be, there is little they can do about
it. Hirohito may have renounced
divinity, but so far as Gen. Mac
Arthur's headquarters is concerned
he is still a sacred COW.
This Is because American policy,
from Potsdam to the present, has
tacitly upheld the emperor system
Aides Called Arrogant.
Allied correspondents have felt
the sting of imperial household
arrogance on more than one occa-
sion. One correspondent who called
for information on the Emperor S
annual poetry contest was curtly
told that the contest was not being
run for the benefit of newspapers
Japanese newspapermen fare even
worse. They are allowed only as
far as the tiny corner allotted to
them In the household ministry
building just inside the palace
grounds.
Their inquiries concerning Hiro-
hito are met with the disapproving
remark. But the Emperor doesn't
need publicity"
One japanese newspaperman who
has covered the imperial household
for 28 years had his first look inside
the palace only few months ago
and then only because the Emperor
was out of town.
