The numbers Of desertions from

Buyers All North Koreans.
This being my first experience
at such o job, was amazed to
md out how little the outside
world cares about things that
have been dear and near to you
for years. I have come to the
conclusion that buyers Of second
hand furniture are at heart all
North Koreans.
Take the bedstead that I want
to sell, for example. ! have been
sleeping on 1t for some Is years.
It's springs are in lovely condi-
ton and 1t Is built on rather
graceful lines. The highest Of
fer I've had for that delightful
bed is $3.50. provided I throw in
two pillows stuffed with the stuff
that grows on the chests Of PEN
gums.
You can't buy f1rewood that
cheap, and there's enough wood
in that bed to keep q merry
blaze going fore at least an hour.
II I don't sell it while my wife
Is away in New York looking for
an apartment, she'll come back
and accuse me OF having done
nothing In her absence. II do
sell it, and hand her over the
staggering sum Of $3.50, she'll 60
get it changed into half dollars
and hit me right over the head
with the full amount.
Then there's one Of the couches
in che living room. I'll grant you
it isn't any more modern than
Calvin Coolidge, but heaven knows
thousands Of people have sat on 1t
without complaining. And the
cookers, Dinah and Bundle, have
taken their afternoon maps on it
for years and years without fuss
ing about its lack. of comfort. A
secondhand dealer, in . moment
Of weakness. offered me an even
S. for the couch. including slip
covers that cost me $35 to put on
the thing. ! told him I'd buy my
self pair Of oars and row that
couch to New York before I'd sell
1t to him for any such price.
Too Near the Ocean.
One Of the nice features Of my
home, which ! am selling also, is
the fact that 1t sits right on the
ocean, and q man can 60 fishing
or swimming In the Atlantic in

man who nibbled at the house
said he would like it much better
II 1t weren't 50 near the ocean
that salt water corroded things 80
badly. I pointed out to him that
he must have known that the
house was on the ocean because
the Atlantic isn't such a tiny body
Of water that you can't see It from
q distance.
Every day brings me closer to q
conviction that am going to
leave everything as it is here and
spend the winter in q tent In New
York. I don't know the zoning
laws but I don't guess there's q
rule forbidding q fellow from
pitching q pup tent somewhere
along Madison or Fifth avenue
and tucking himself in for the
winter.
I think I'll just 60 fishing and
let Jean handle the whole con-
founded thing. Women know more
about such things as that than
men do-at least women have
been telling that to men for the
last 1000 years. It's time some
body called their bluff.

DR.. Kiefer told the committee
there is little about the effects
OF either old or new weapons

fessions."
"The atomic bomb produces
burns. lacerations. amputations,
crushing injuries and blast injuries
which all surgeons are accustomed
to treating" said DR.. Kiefer.
Radiation sickness is new
type of wartime injury, bu: it is
not new disease and it's symp-
toms are recognized by physicians,
particularly radiologists. Bjologi-
cal warfare is only an extension
with some new means OF INTRO

form of warfare that nature has
waged against man for centuries,
and for which our health depart

fective defenses."
Short Training Needed.
The witness said there are some
new wrinkles in warfare for
which short periods of specialized
training for all physicians would
be necessary.
The testimony pointed out that

physicians. nurses and dentists in

tamination of food and water.
Il discussing the blood bank
problem, DR.. Kiefer said that it
would be virtually impossible to
activate an adequate and safe
blood program in wartime without
previous extensive peacetime expe-
rience.
If an efficient integrated, Ma
tion-wide peacetime blood pro-
gram could be organized it would
answer an immense and vital
peacetime need. and also would

Another highlight of Dr.. Kief-
er's testimony was that serious

that no substantial reserves of

New Hainan Invasion
By Reds Repulsed,
NationaIists Say
ly the Axsoeioted Press

TAIPEI, Formosa. April L.
Chinese Communist troops landed
at several points on the Nation
alist island of Hainan Saturday,
but the Nationalists said today
they were wiped out or captured
in a slam-bang battle.
1t was the latest and apparently
the largest of several Red at
tempts to seize a foothold on the
big island only 10 miles off the
southern mainland.
Fragmentary reports said the
invaders landed at points five and
10 miles from Noihow, the Hainan
capital, and forced the National
lists temporarily to abandon the
Hollow airfield.
Defense Victory Claimed.
The official Nationalist Central
News Agency. however, early to-
day said the defense had scored
a great victory.
1t estimated the Red dead at
5000 and said so of the invading
fleet of junks were sunk in four
hour battle with the Nationalist
navy.
Some junks managed to land
their troops. but Central News
said the defending ground forces
soundly thrashed the Reds on the
beaches. At one beach, it said,
every man who got ashore was
slain. At another, bodies of the
attackers were said to be piled
high on the sand. while at third
point 200 Reds hoisted the white
flag.
Altogether about 1000 Com
munist troops were estimated to
have set foot on land.
Hollow Under Martial Law.
The sounds of battle rang
clearly through Hoihow, but the
city was said to be calm under
martial law.
One report said the Civil Air
Transport airline of the retired
American Maj. Gen. Claire L.
Chennault, had pulled out of the
Hollow airf1eld when it looked as
if the Reds would win it.
Nationalist air headquarters an
nounced it's planes had sunk eight
OF the Red invasion vessels and
drove off mysterious high speed
launch sighted within four miles
of Hollow.
Air headquarters added that
most Of the 400 Red invaders who
had got ashore last Monday had
been wiped out by air attacks.

fact that he was cleared without
getting information on him which
is available at the State Depart
ment and which could have been

He said he took the matter up
yesterday with both the Atomic

Joint Congressional Atomic Com
