Chinese Communists
Battle II Miles From
Heart Of Shanghai
Penetration in Some
Sections Is 200 Miles
South of Yongtze
By the Assoeioied Press

SHANGHAI, May 9.-Fighting
around Kaiting brought the Chi
nese Civil War to an area II miles
northwest of the heart of Shang-
hal today.
Far to the southwest, Com
munist armies pressed a twin
pronged offensive along an irregu-
lar 230-mile front. This opera
ton extended from the seaport of
Hangchow on the east to Lake
Poyang on the west. At some
places the Red drive had carried
200 miles south of Yangtze.
A Shanghai garrison command
communique seemed to indicate
the fighting closest to Shanghai
was on a@ small scale. Kaiting Is
on the Shanghai-Nanking high
way seven miles north of the
railway between the two cities.
Red troops thrusting along the
rail line were within IS miles of
Shanghai.
Trucks Being Seized.
Inside this largest Asian city,
the Nationalist garrison ordered
Chinese and foreign business firms
and some government agencies to
turn over $50 trucks and 300 jeeps
for military purposes"
Foreign consulates. including
the American and British, were
interceding to try to keep the gar
IriSon from comandeering the for
eign vehicles. Many American and
British firms were hard hit by the
order. Some were engaged in es-
sential activities.
The garrison order told owners
to deliver the vehicles with driv-
ers. spare tires and tools. Failure
to obey, the order said, would be
dealt with by law. Since Shang-
hal is under martial law, offenders
could be executed.
The garrison did not give details
of the gigantic Communist opera
tions southwest of Shanghai but
said the Communists were con-
tinuing their drive in Kiangsi and
Chekiang Provinces.
Drive on Kiangsi Capital.
One drive, the communique said,
was toward Nanchang. Kiangsi

southwest of Shanghai. The

The Women's Bar Association
of the District got few pointers
last night on how to compete with
male lawyers.
The subject arose at the groups
previous meeting, when members
discussed ways to promote op-
portunities for women In the Dis
trict Bar Association, predomi-
nantly of male membership.
So they invited Miss Vivian
Simpson, president Of the Mont
gomery County Bar Association,
composed of about 100 men and
4 women members. to drop by to
tell them how it's done.
Miss Simpsons tips for begin
ming women lawyers included:
Skip your college deans advice
to haunt the Offices Of large law
firms with Introductory letters
asking for a job. Instead. hang
up your own shingle, learn to type
and spend from 8 am. to S pm.
each day working every minute.
women today are no longer
an excluded class" Miss Simpson
said. "They should accept the
fact there is nothing unusual
about them.
To-day it is no more peculiar
to be a woman lawyer than q
woman artist or a singer. II you
practice law with integrity and
industry, you represent your pro-
fession.'
Mrs. Olive Faircloth, president,
who presided at the meeting In
the Raleigh Hotel, added to the
discussion.
1.-The idea of women being tar

your mind" Mrs. Faircloth told
