Heavy clouds Of smoke were seen.
The government said the. explo-
sions were touched off by Jewish

attack from Tel Aviv at several
points along Jaffa's outskirts, par
ticularly in the Abu Kebir district

BY the Assoeiotsd Press

NANKING, Sunday, Mar. IA.
Official sources said today the
Communists had battered into the
center of Szepingkai and "the last
hopes are gone" of saving that
Manchurian fortress.
These sources asserted the Com
munists, who had been attacking
that city los miles northeast of
Mukden for several days, suffered
huge losses"
A government communique also
confirmed the Communist capture
of Kirin, power center so miles east
of Changchun, Manchuria's capital
The communique said the Kirin
garrison withdrew to Changchun
taking with it more than 100000
civilians, including 10000 young
men. Some civilians remained in
Kirin, however. and so the garrison
left the city and its adjacent power
station intact, the communique
added.

Star SioH Correspondent

RICHMOND, Va, Mar. 13.-
Weary lawmakers ended the 194s
session of the General Assembly
at 9:46 o'clock tonight, a session
which was packed with action
up to the closing hour.
Both branches agreed to a record
budget of SSH 600, 900 for the next
two years but the House Of Dele
gates engaged in delaying tactics
that prevented earlier adjournment
when a heated debate arose over
salary increases for certain State
officials.
One of the final acts, too, was
postponing until next year decision
by the voters on whether the States
poll tax shall be repealed. A bill
was introduced at the request OF
Gov. Tuck today to defer this ques-
ton until the general election next
year.
Annexation Feud Resolved.
Another highlight Of the last
hours of the session was settlement
of feud between "the country boys
and the city boys" involving an
nexation of county territory by the
cities. The price rural legislators
had to pay for a very mild version
Of an annexation bill was to give
cities more road funds than they
now receive. The consensus Is that
the urban areas came out best IN
the deal.

Differences Ironed Out.
The budget bill was one Of the
few measures passed which did moi

however. The House did not agres
