.Kaifeng Battle News
Casts Grave Doubt
On Chinese Fighting
By Harold K. MiIks

Assooioted Press Foreign Correspondent
NANKING. June 26.-Contradic-
tory reports on the battle of Kaifeng
strengthened convictions of neutral
observers today that both sides in
Chinas civil war fight harder on
paper than anywhere else.
Neutrals who have visited the
scenes of some of the wars savage
battles" say they cannot understand
why both government and Com
munists magnify skirmishes into de-
structive campaigns where the signs
of destruction are scanty and there
is never more than a handful OF
prisoners to bolster huge casualty
claims.
Foreign correspondents never
have been permitted to witness
actual fighting in the civil war;
Kaifeng, capital of the central pro-
vince of Honan, is good example OF
the uncertainty in weighing war dis
patches.
No Sign of Fighting.
The Communists took it June d
Pro-government information. in
Guiding that from the official mill
tary spokesman, pictured the city as
largely in flames while small gov
ernment garrison made last-ditch
defense.
Travellers who few over -Kaifeng
the same day, when the action was
said to be at its height, said they
were unable to detect the slightest
sign of fighting. They saw no
smoke. Buildings appeared to be
intact. The railway yards seemed
full of undamaged rolling stock.
On Friday two government relief
columns regained Kaifeng. Absence
of battle reports indicated the
Communists withdrew without q
struggle, though some sources SAID
a fight was going on 80 miles tc
the southeast.
Reluctant To Resist.
Experienced observers declared
the many reports of bitter. destruc-
tive conflict were intended to cover
reluctance of government troops
especially small garrisons such as at
Kaifeng-to put up firm resistance
They said that in many cases
the outnumbered force simply
walked out the escape path which
a superior Chinese army tradition
ally leaves for the enemy.
The governments quick recovery
of Kaifeng was taken as an indica-
ton that the Communists likewise
avoid battle unless favored by all
factors. They have been quick to
abandon positions which they coulo
hold ONLY bv hard fighting.

Two AW0L Soldiers
Admit Staying Woman
Who Befriended Them
BY the Assoeiotsd Press

TOLEDO. Ohio, Dec. 18.-Two
AWOL soldiers admitted to authori-
ties today the fatal beating of an
80-year- woman who had be-
friended them. They were charged
with first degree murder. - y
The soldiers are Harold Sweet, %,
of Johnstown. Ohio. and Ira Thomas
Howell, IT, Of Affinity, near Beckley,
w. Va. The men had been absent
without leave since November 80
from Fort Jackson, S. C.
The victim, Mrs. Lucille Harwold,
was found buldgeoned to death last
night in the living room of her west
side home. The discovery followed
q query about her from State police
Of Erie, Mich. The police said the
youths had been picked up after
blood stains were noticed on their
clothing, and had admitted slugging
Mrs. Harwold with an iron bar while
she was reading.
The youths said they had asked
Mrs. Harwold for lodging about a
week ago. Detective Capt. William
Gray said they admitted receiving
money from Mrs. Harwold when
they went broke during their stay
at her home.
Michigan State Trooper Edward
Mongeon said that Howell, a slim

under the present law because they
can claim legal residence elsewhere.
It would exempt only elective officers
of the Government including men,
bers of Congress and presidential
appointees subject to Senate con-
f1rmation.
The proposed tax program also
is designed to keep the District out
of the red financially in the event
that Congress authorizes the $3.50
Federal pay raise for District en-
ployes.
Situation Still Unclear.
Senator Taft said he feels Dis
trict workers ARE entitled" to the
same raise. He added:
I'VE ought to work out some way
to see that they get it."
y How the legislative situation can
be handled to do justice to city en-
ployes is not clear yet, Seantor Taft
said.
But the problem should be solved
early in the Forthcoming session Of
Congress, the legislator declared, in
stead of waiting until the last day of
a session, as happened when Con-
gress recessed last summer.
How additional funds, estimated
at $4,500,000 a year, can be raised to
pay the $3.50 increase is one of the
big financial questions now facing
the District Commissioners and the
Congressional District Committees.
Senator Johnston, Democrat, of
South Carolina, who filibustered the
sales tax bill to death during the
closing days of the last session, has
insisted he favors such a pay raise,
but will continue his fight against
q city sales tax for any purpose. He
favors big increase in the Federal
payment towards municipal ex-
penses.
O'Conor Backs Retroactivity.
Support for the city increase has
come recently from several quar-
tiers. Government employees union
spokesmen testified in favor of it
before Senate Civil Service Sub
committee last week, while the bill
to increase salaries of top flight
Federal officers was under consid-
Grafton.
Budget Director James E. Webb
testified that President Truman
tavors the city workers raise.
When the President signed the bill
granting an increase to other
Government workers, Mr.. Webb
said Mr.. Truman branded the dis
elimination as unfair"
Senator O'Conor, Democrat, of
Maryland, member of the subcom-
mittee agreed with government
union witnesses that the city
people should get the increase, and
that it should be retroactive to
July this year.

emption to Mr. West, according to
Mr.. Dent, the Corporation Counsel
recalled that some members of
Congress earlier this year said the
$4,000 exemption was too high.
These legislators, Mr.. West said
had recommended that the $4,000
exemption be cut to $4,000.
Mr.. Dent said he planned to work
up set of figures next month
that would show approximately how
much more revenue would be re-
allied by the District with the
smaller exemption.
He said the proposal was not
made particularly with a view to
increasing the city's revenue but
because of his theory that $4,000
represents too high an exemption

capped from the burning westbound
bus by breaking the windshield. He
smashed windows and helped pas
sengers out.
Il pulled as many men as I could
out of the bus, and it was still

Weather Reports Vary.
Motorists differed in telling of
weather conditions at the time.
Some said there was a heavy fog
while others said the air was al
most clear. Snow several inches
deep covered the sagebrush fiatland
alongside the highway.
The largest undamaged piece of
wreckage was the left front wheel
of one bus. Partially-burned clothes
and luggage were scattered about.
The wreckage burned for several
hours, with fire-hghting equipment
summoned from Tooele finally ex-
tinguishing the blaze.
Four hours after the crash, work
men still had not probed entirely
through the smoldering wreckage.
Some persons at the scene expressed
belief then that one or more bodies
might still pe recovered.
Bus Split in Two.
The westbound bus appeared to
have been almost split in two.
Lavar Tate, a Tooele ambulance
driver, said he took 80 injured per-
sons to Tooele. Others were trans
ported to Salt Lake City.
Many Of the injured were

Cooking Game
Tested Recipes

META GIVENS'S Modern En-
eyclopedia of Cooking" *gives much
practical information regarding the
cooking of game.
The handling and cooking of game
is an art in itself.
"Too often" the author warns,
"the game that is killed each year by
hunters all over the country fails to
reach the table in its most edible
form. Either incompetent handling
after killing makes it unappetizing
in appearance, odor or flavor, or it
is improperly cooked. Those who try
to cook these unskillfully prepared
animals, or to eat these poorly
cooked dishes are led to believe that
game can be as attractive as
domestic meat. However, when
game is properly bled, cleaned,
stored and cooked, it will appeal to
those who have previously objected
to it, and it will have still greater
appeal to those who have always en-
joyed it.
Game Birds
@Game birds may be dressed by
dry or wet picking or skinning.
Since birds differ in the tenderness
of the skin and -coarseness of feath-
ers, it is necessary to use water of
different temperatures to obtain
satisfactory results. Pheasants have
fairly tender skins and should be
dipped in water heated to just 100
degrees F. Mallard ducks require
water heated from $50 degrees to
100 degrees F.
"All fur bearing animals should
be eviscerated at once and skinned
as soon as possible. 1t is said that a
good hunter may be judged by the
condition of the carcass he brings in.
Many fur bearing animals that are
used for food will have a strong
"gamey" flavor unless the fat just
