Chang Troops Seize
Town on China Coast

TAIPEI, Formosa, Mar. 19 P-
Naval sources said today Chinese
Nationalist troops had invaded
the mainland about 200 miles
south of Shanghai and captured
the coastal town of Sungmen.
The troops went ashore We'd
nesday as Nationalist warships
bombarded Haimen, about 80
miles north of the town. This
was to prevent the Communists
from sending aid to Sungmen.
Navy quarters asserted that the
Sungmen garrison was wiped out
Press reports said that in all $500
Communists were killed.
Indications were that the land
ing force was small. possibly not
exceeding a battalion.
It still was not clear whether
Chang Kai-shek's troops will try
to hold Sungmen. The landing
might have been test for bigger
projects in the future, particu-
larly to supply Nationalist guer-
rillas with arms. The landing
forces were aided by Nationalist
guerrillas waiting on the main
land, it was reported.
The warships blasted about 10
small craft in Haimen harbor,
and also bombarded shore tar
gets, according to Naval estimates.

On D. {. Budget,
Action Delayed
Citizens Emphasize
School Needs; Few
Changes in Bill Seen
By Don S. Worren

The Districts $119 million
spending program for the next
fiscal year, with justifications now
on the records, faces waiting
period before action is taken at
either end of the Capitol.
Open hearings were concluded
yesterday by the Hill subcommit-
tee of the Senate Appropriations
Committee, attended by a half
hundred citizen spokesmen who
particularly emphasized school
needs.
Action there. however, prob
ably will be delayed until the
House has passed it's version Of
the bill. House hearings were held
earlier by the Bates subcommit-
tee but the report of the District
bill is to follow House action on
the omnibus supply bill for all the
Federal agencies, now pending
but still an action of the future.
The Senate subcommittee, head
ed by Senator Hill, Democrat, OF
Alabama, has announced no de-
cisions on pending items, but the
general tenor of the Senate hear
ings, and incidental comments
from subcommittee members gave
no hint of any drastic cuts any,

Regarded as "Good Bill"
In fact, the impression has
been gained that the Senate group
considered the Commissioners

may be made here and there and
some items might be increased a
bit
There was a friendly approach
to the bill also on the House
side but reports have 1t that the
Bates subcommittee has decided
to recommend reductions of as
much as Sc million. more or less,
In keeping with the prevailing
economy motif.
A big part of this cut, however,
was said to be in the funds for

and planning officials over the

Young pleaded for the restoration
of this item, under language that
would cover the final decision as
to whether the span was to be
built either on the line of East
Capitol street or farther down
stream on the line of Massacfu-
sets avenue. If the funds and
language are not included, said
Gen. Young. a delay of a whole
