DEITY was puzzled. In spite
- of his red hair, Jack Barnes
was not a belligerent person. He
was not one to engage in a brawl.
But she knew very well that the
black eye and the bruise on his
face were not the result of con-
tact with a door. Only a fist, and
a. very heavy fist, could have done
all that damage.
It was not until they were eat

proach was such that it was some
little time before she could see
any connection between what he
was saying and anything remote

Envoy Sfuart's Illness Held
Blow 10 Far East Relations
~ the Associated Press

The serious illness Of Ambassa-
dor John Leighton Stuart has de-
prived this country of one Of its
best China experts at a critical
stage in its relations with the Far
East.
DR.. Stuart, in serious condition
at the Naval Hospital at Bethesda,
is expected to be out Of action in
definitely. He was stricken yes
terday with a cerebral hemor-
rhage, three months after being
summoned from Marking for con-
situations.
The 73-year-old diplomat was
born in China and was a mis-
sionary- educator there for four
decades.
Thus, he had broader first-hand
experience with Chinese leaders
and conditions than any of the
administration group which has
been trying to work out a new
American policy for dealing with
the Communist upheaval in the
Orient.
In addition, DR.. Stuart was
credited by his associates with
considerable prestige in China
among Communist leaders as well
as Nationalist officials. Nation
alist Generalissimo Chang Kali
shek and Communist Chou En-lai
were among those with whom he
was on good terms.

From Blaze in Ohio

BARBERTON, Ohio. Dec. 2
R.-Twenty-six firemen were
hospitalized today after battling q
fire in which burning plastics
caused fumes suspected Of being
q deadly war gas. -.
All the firemen were reported in
fair condition at the badly
crowded citizens hospital.
Fire Capt. Luther N. Culbertson
said an investigation was being
made to determine if the gas was
phosgene, which sometimes packs
a deadly wallop "a to 48 hours
after being hreathed.
Some of the men collapsed on
the scene and were given emer-
gency oxygen treatment. The
others were taken to the hospital
as a precautionary measure after
the fire was extinguished.
The fumes were believed caused
by clock cases and other burning
plastic objects. Origin of the fire,
which took three hours to put
out, was not determined i'm
mediately.
The fire department here con-
sists of only "a men and the hos
pitalization left only II available

in the area were quickly pressed
into service.
