SHANGHAI, May 25.-Com-
munists marched into Shanghai
today and a roaring battle far
worse than the siege developed.
Retreating Nationalists, trying
to fight their way back to Woo
sung and escape, were blowing up
everything they could. At 8 pm.
the whole horizon to the north
seemed to explode.
Apparently the government SOL
diers. pulling back before the ad-
vancing Communists, blew UP the
fuel dumps. bombs and ammuni-
ton installations at Kiangwan
Airfield.
Cannonading Shakes City.
All the while cannonading shook
the city as the Reds smashed with
everything available at Woosung
Fortress. The Communists were
determined to make the National
list escape corridor a bloody avenue
If they can not close 1t.
The Reds, overrunning the
worlds most populous country,
gave Communism its largest city
by occupying almost all OF Shang-
hal.
Stubborn Nationalist rear guards
held fast at bridges across 500
chow Creek. Red mortars smashed
UP the main city postoffice near
the Szechuan road bridge.
Towering Broadway Mansions,
an apartment building where sew
eral Americans and British are
trapped behind the Nationalist
lines, was shaken up.
Even In the old international
Settlement in the downtown area
small arms fire cracked as the
Reds hunted down small groups
of Nationalists still holed UP In
buildings.
Aim to Reach Ships.
Obviously the Nationalist rear
guard was buying time in last
stand fights. They want the bulk
of their comrades to deploy on
the outer edges of the city for
another fight or reach ships wait
ing in the Yangtze to take them
south.
The green-clad Reds came into
the city from the West. They
came down broad Avenue Foche
and Edward VII Avenue on the
double. It was peaceful there for
most of the city was still asleep.
What few Nationalists the Reds
encountered there threw down
their arms or took to their heels.
Straight for the billion dollar
Bund built along the Whangpoo
banks they headed. There they ran
into trouble. The bridges were
blocked by machine guns. Snipers
opened up from buildings.
Rifiemen in the Broadway Man
sions, tall apartment building
across Soochow Greek from the
heart of Shanghai, kept the Reds
low.
Nationalist soldiers barricaded
at the Garden Bridge, Chapoo
Bridge and the Schechwan Bridge
held up other Red bands. The
bridges lead to tbe only arteries to
Shanghai's north.
Set Up Harassing Fire.
The Communists deployed into
abandoned Nationalist fortifica-
tions on the Bund. They were
forced from their advance posi-
tions by rifle. grenades and
machine-gun fire from the Garden
Bridge Park and from the third
floor Of Broadway Mansions.

Leonard Warren, baritone Of
the Metropolitan Opera, had a
success last night, appearing
with the National Symphony, that
few soloists can boast. With his
first numbers, he had the audience
applauding wildly and shouting
Bravo" and this continued when
he came again to sing some songs.
It was a more enthusiastic recep-
ton even than that accorded him
last summer when he sang at the
Water Gate with the orchestra.
An auditorium such as Constitu-
ton Hall shows off the quality
and power of his voice better and
he has the kind Of vocal equip
ment to make the rafters ring.
What he can do on the operate
stage was demonstrated with the
two arias, the "Credo" from Ver-
dis "Otello' and the Prologue"
to Leoncavallo's "Pagliacci." He
sang them with luscious tone,
richly resonant, and with the
broad line that belongs to large
opera house. This American art
list has an intelligent attitude
toward his art that Is seen not
only in the superb control OF his
voice but in the innumerable other
things that round out his talent.
He knows the text for what 1t
means and brings the tints Of his
expressive voice to match the idea
of each phrase. Nothing is over
done or pointless. The terrible
intensity of the "Credo" was given
with one kind Of tonal art and the
varied feeling In the Prologue
with even greater skill.
The fiexibility, ease and secur-
ity OF his vocal production makes
his resources seem limitless. He
adapted himself to the smaller
and finer needs Of the songs with
equal felicity. Cimara's "Stor-
nello," Santoliquido's mel Giar-
dino" and Cimara's "Canto di
Primavera" were delivered with
a wealth of standings and with the
sentiment Of each underscored to
just the right degree. They were
so satisfying and appealing In
their artistic polish that more
was asked for by the delighted
audience. Two encores followed:
Bridges ooh. That It Were So
and Critics IT Saw a Ship
A'Sailing." With this appear
ance. Mr., Warren can write down
another triumph.
Howard Mitchell programmed
the Haydn Symphony No. 104"
as major number for the orches-
ira and gave it a notable reading.
The first movements, especially,
were highlighted by such effects
as show regard for style and the
finesse of nuance. Also In Ber-
lioz' lie Corsaire," the elasticity
of the musicians created exciting
crescendos and sforzandos on a
big scale. In the concluding
movement of the Symphony"

George Washington Universitys
football manpower shortage seems
eased a bit this year. but it still is
likely that several of the players.
especially the backs, will be called
on to play more than one position
sometime during the season. Coach
Bo Rowland welcomed squad OF
40 yesterday when the Colonials
turned out for their first practice
at Frog Island and in that group
he figures he has the men to plug
some of the holes and also several
who will help Handy Andy Davis
with the offensive.
Davis was the center of atten-
ton for those who wondered If an
operation had fixed his knee in
jured late last year. He romped
around like a young colt yester-
day. j. !
One of Coach Rowland's first
jobs will be to find a fullback. Not
one player who had that post last
year is back and Bo is trying al
Dugoff, blocking back last year.
and Frank Cavallo. formerly a
tailback, in the fullback slot. To
help ease other backfield shortages
he is shifting Charley Jones, an
end last year, to a ball-carrying
spot. Bo appeared better off at
ends numerically than at most
other positions. but already the
casualties are hitting him there.
Tom REILLY. sophomore who had
some varsity experience on the
flanks last season, had his appen-
dix out yesterday.
In addition to Davis. several
other players who were hurt last
year are being eyed critically.
Back Art Kennedy, Guard Howard
IDiederich and Guard Charley
Gunner are three others who had
operations to repair 1948 damages.
Center Tai Dredge also was hurt
last year, but said he's okay now,
as did Guard Jim Regan. who hurt
his knee in spring practice.
Only offensive gesture made
during yesterdays FIRST practice
was a passing drill and the CO.
lonial throwers looked good. This
group included Davis, Bob Cilento.

Turnesa I Down

Coe Leads Campbell ,
a Up, at 18th Hole
In U. S. Golf Meet
By the Associated rress

ROCHESTER, N. Y. Sept. o.
Defending Champion Willie Tur-
mesa was 2 down today to Rufus
King of Wichita Falls. Tex, after
18 holes of their 36-hole semiflnal
match in the 49th annual National
Amateur golf championship.
In the lower bracket semiflnal,
Charles Coe of Oklahoma City was
4 up on William C. Campbell, de-
liberate golfng legislator from
Huntington, w. Va, after l3 holes.
Ideal weather conditions pre-
vailed. Both matches over the
6,80O-yard east course of the Oak
Hill Country Club were followed
by fair-sized galleries.
Turnesa lost the first two holes
of the morning round, squared the
duel on the 14th and then lost
both the 18th and 17th to go to
lunch two holes down to the 33-
year -old Texas rancher.
Turnesa dropped the first two
holes because of poor tee shots
and never recovered, although he
got back one of them on the ninth
by laying his opponent q dead
stymie. He finished the first nine
down.
Turnesa Down FIRST Time.
It was the first time in the
tourney that Turnesa had been
down to an opponent. Both trav-
eled the distance in IS strokes, par
for the distance.
King maintained his l up mar
gin over Tumesa through the
18th, missing a 4-foot putt on
that hole that would have doubled
his advantage.
They halved the 10th in regu-
lation As and both had good chip
shots to get down in par IS or
the 18th after the champion had
overshot the green and King had
been short.
Both also missed the green on
the 18th, but this time it was King
who was long and Turnesa who
was short. Turnesa dropped a g.
footer and King a 3-footer.
On the 586-yard 18th Turnesa
pushed his drive into the deep
rough to the right and had to loft
his ball back onto the fairway
King retaliated by hooking his
second and then chipping too
strongly. He came back to within
t & feet of the flag, but missed
his putt. Turnesa. meanwhile. had
gotten on in 4 and needed two
taps to hole out.
