TsingtaO Watches Reds

TSINGTAO, China - up - For a
city cut off from the landward side
by a Chinese Communist iron curz
tain, life goes on with remarkable
order and placidity in this base for
the U. S. Navy. There are always
rumOTs that the Reds will attack,
drive the big government garrison
into the sea, and force some sort of
showdown with the U. S. Navy.
But they are lust rumors.
Gen. Wang Chi, American-educa-
ted deputy garrison commander
who was a liaisOn officer with Gen
eral Macarthur during the war says
the government can and will hold
TsingtaO. The government has lot
of strength here, including a divi-
sion trained on FOrmOsa under
American guidance.
Wang says the government wants
to strike out from here against the
Communists, but there isn't enough
equipment to go on the offensive.
Wang wants enough to equip two
divisions and until that'is available
he insists it is too risky to try to
move out against the enemy.
The U. S. Navy has its rumors
here too. The current one is that
the Navy is going to pull out. This
is denied from top to bottom but if
it wanted to sacrifice it's limited
shore installations, the Navy could
pick up and steam out of TsingtaO
within a few hours.

Equality for Aliens
.(Washington Postl

lNaSnlIlBIOn POSC1
 The Immigration and Naturalization laws oI the United States still contain considerable element of racial discrimination which is at once oirrtant to our relations in the Far East and denial of our own vital principle that all men created equal. The excsionary features of the Immigration Act of 1924 directed against persons of Oriental origin modi- fled with respect to the Chinese in 1943 and with respect to the Filipinos and East Indians in 946 How ever persons from Burma, Japan, Siam, Indonesia Korea Indo- China the Malay States and the Pacific Islands are still barred from becoming naturalized as citizens of the United States and are, therefore in general ineligible to enter this country as immigrants
 Representative Walter H. Judd has introduced
 bill designed to cure this nequity Its effect would be to do for other Orientals which has already been done for Chinese Filipinos and East Indansthat ls to erase from our nationality and immigration polcy any discrimination racial grounds and treat them as we treat Europeans seeking to enter the United States In practice because stringent quotas are ap- pcable to the peoples in question more than lew hundred Asiatics ineligible to enter the United States would be granted admttance MT. Judd's pro
 osal would not change the quota law in any respect it would merely extend it.
 The most important e1Tect of his bill would be tc make eligible for naturalization an estimated 8SoO persons now in the United States and Hawaii who ar barred from becoming citizens because of racial origin The Presidents Committee Civil Rights urged tha this be done Most of these who would be affected are Japanese Wnose ioyaiIy to lhei auop'eo eoo-0S was amply demonstrated during the war; they pro duced among other things, the tooth Battalion and the 442d Infantry Combat Team which as the late Gen Joseph w. Stilwell put 1t, bought an awful big hunk of America with their bood' Their present status makes them the victims of discriminatory land laws in some Western States prohibiting aliens in. egibe to citizenship" from buying selling or con- veving lsnd. In the Ovama case the supreme Court pointed out the other day the nvidousness of this kc of discrimination. Congress rather than the court can furnish the most effective remedy Americans of Japanese ancestry deserve fair play.

the Willow Run plant, had made $5 per share during his first year of operation. He now wanted money to push production to 1,500 cars daily.
 Participating in the conference were Otis and Co.,, of Cleveland. The First California Company of San Francisco, and Allen and Go. of New York. Kaiser-Frazer stock, 1t was agreed, would be sold to the public on Feb. 4, at SIS share but it was also agreed that to keep the price up the day before. Kaiser would buy his own stock at Si3.50.
 What Kaiser didn't know, how ever, was that Cyrus Eaton, head of Otis and Company, was gong to tip off brokers to this fact. Supposedly this support agreement to keep the price at $l3.5o on Feb. 3, the day before the stock flotation, was to be kept a strict secret.
 But 1t wasn't. Furthermore, Eat on's telegram to brokers amounted to an invitation to them to dump Kaiser stock at $13.50 on Feb. 3 -lly buy it back for $1s on Feb. 4.

KAISER rA1s OFF

As a result there was a mad rush to sell Ka ser stock. Further result was that Kaiser had to shell cut around $2.4o0,0oe of his own money to buy his own stock. However, he kept his word. Grim- ly for one long day, he bought up his own stock at the rate of 500 per minute.
 Otis and Company aud The Cali sornia Company, however, did not keep their word. AS the time ap- preached for these two under writers to take over the Kaiser Frazer stock they had pledged 10 sell, a Philadelphia lawyer, James F. Masterson. mysteriously brought suit against Kaiser. In fact. he brought the suit exactly 40 minutes before Otis and Company was sup posed to pay up.
 And what most people didn't know was that lawyer Masterson iioo PiCFAOooAy bOCi SAooC Oo Gu ton and the railroad he finances
 he Chesapeake and Ohio. What people did know, how ever, was that the tumultuous sell ing of Kaiser Frazer stocks on the day brokers had been tipped off they could make a killing, was followed next day by the general stock-market noSedive.
 Maybe the nosedive would have come later anyway. But the man ner in which the bankers let down the one man who dared buck the big auto companies certainly didn't ae.p to retard it.
 Noe 1-Cyrus Eaton of Otis and Company has been extremely criti- cal of Secretary ot Commerce Averell Hartman and his former investment banker connections.
 Note 2-Other bankers, including the Bank of America and The First Boston Corporation, have in- dicated that they will now take up Kaisers unfinished financing.
