Big Arms Plan

Troops of yietminh
Reported Training
In Yunnun Camps
BY the Associated Press

SAIGON, Indo-China, Aug. II.
The semioficial Vietnamese
newspaper Echo du Vietnam said
today Red China has begun q
massive program of military aid
for Communist led Vietminh
forces in Indo-China.
The French language daily
published a communique giving
details of broad military cooper
alton between Communist China
and the Ho Chi Mini regime.
1t gave no source for the COM
munique. but its form and infor-
nation indicated it was probably
of official origin. The news
paper reflects closely the views
of Vietnamese government.
Authoritative French military
quarters confirmed details of the
story.
Five Phases Listed.
Under the headline, "Sino- Wet
mimi Pact" the newspaper listed
five phases of collaboration:
l. Chinese Communists have
promised to supply the Vietminh
arms without payment.
2. A Chinese Communist mis-
sion of 800 members was sched-
uled to arrive in the Vietminh
zone from Yunnan Province at the
end of last month.
8. Uniformed Vietminh troops
have transported rice supplies into
China.
4. More than 10000 Vietminh
troops are being trained in Yum
nan Province by Chinese Com
muniSts. They were given arms
and are wearing Chinese Com
munist uniforms. Other training
centerS are alleged to exist in
Kwangtung and Kwangsi Prov
inceS.
5. Vietminh workers are assist
ing in the repair of airflelds in
Kwangsi and Yunnan Provinces.
The newspaper said these airfields
constitute a serious menace to
Indo-C China.
Troops Occupy Five Camps.
The newspaper made these ad-
ditional statements:
Vietminh troops concentrated in
Yunnan were designated troops
of the two kwangs." They occupy
five camps known as special CEN
ters" and are under joint
Vietminh- Chinese administration.
These troops were earmarked for
operations against French Forces
in Indo- China. For the present.
some are utilized locally against
Nationalist guerrillas and for
work on the TRANSFORMER roads.
Several thousand other Wet
mini troops are receiving instruc-
tions in heavy artillery and anti
aircraft weapons. These troops
are armed by the Chinese and are
also participating in operations
against guerrillas.
French military sources said the
Chinese mission of 300 members
already had arrived in the Wet
mimi zone to spread propaganda
among both the VietnameSe and
Chinese minoritieS in Indo-C China.
Vietminh Seen Crossing Border.
The military sources said that
between 1000 and 5000 Vietminh.
unarmed and in civilian clothes,
were observed crossing the border
into the Kwangsi Province in the
last 72 hours. They crossed over
in the region of Caobang and are
believed to be en- route to the
Chinese training centerS.
The informant reported large
increase recently in Communist
arms shipments to the Vietminh.

new source of supplies. Junks

ST. Louis ParaIyzed
As Transit Strikers
Defy State Seizure
Union Leaders Unable
To Control Workers
Demanding Higher Pay
BY the Assoeiated Press

ST. LOUIS, Aug. 12.-Residents
of st. Louis, the Nations eighth
largest city, had no bus or street.
car service today.
The State-seized public transit
system was forced to discontinue
operation last night because of a
wildcat strike by union operators
seeking higher wages.
Ironically, the strike was started
despite use of a State law passed
three years ago to prevent disrup-
tion of public utility services.
1t also was staged in defiance
of Gov. Forrest Smith and leaders
of the union, an AF'L Street and
Railway Motor Coach unit. rep
resenting some 3.l00 workers.
The tieup paralyzed the city.
Seized After Strike Threat.
Rowing squads Of wildcat strik-
ers persuaded bus and streetcar
operators to quit. "A. E. East, union
president, said last night threats
of violence were used.
Under terms of the State anti
strike law, violators stand to lose
seniority. Unions may be fined up
to $4,000 for illegal work stop
pages and utilities engaging in
lockouts can be fined $4,000 a
day.
The state seized the Public Serv-
ice Company at midnight Thurs
day in the face of a previously au-
thorized union walkout.
Less than a third of the street.
cars and buses failed to operate
yesterday morning, but by evening
two-thirds of the two systems had
stopped. BY midnight all service
had halted.
Governor Issues Warning.
Last night in Jefferson City,
Gov. Smith said the strike can
not be permitted and lawlessness
will not be tolerated"
But he didn't indicate what he
planned to do. Mr.. East, after
appealing to union members by
radio and television, conceded de-
feat when the strike continued to
spread.
He took the position that fur
ther action was up to the State,
and so did officials of the public
service company.
The union sought a boost of Z
cents an hour. raising operators
base pay to $3.50.
A public hearing panel, set up
under the anti-strike law, recon-
mended such an increase, retro
active to last January l, expira-
tion date of the old contract.
But the company refused the
retroactive provision, bringing on
the unions decision to strike.

But under the b nner of Judas
Maccabeaus, the Jews fought res
olutely, winning over superior
numbers. Chanukah SymbolizeS
that the minority may not always
be crushed, that the physically
weak, if their spirit is resolute
and determined, may vanquish
over the bigger. Chanukah SYM
bolizes the infinite resources of
the spirit. Chanukah teaches us
that if we know we are right, to
go forward and win. These little
candles preach the greatest lesson
in the world. Look at this little
candle which I have lit. It is so
small thing, but with one little
candle, as the b bis said. you
may light another candle, and
larger one and still another one
and another, and one little candle
might thus kindle ten thousand to
illumine the whole world of dark
ness. So, too, in matters of the
spirit, never consider your re-
sources small. You may be but a
small candle, but ="
Gee, Dad, I catch on" said
Phil. Excuse me, I've got to be
going"
"And me, too" said Benny.
Mr.. Feinstein look e d on sur
prised. A few minutes later, Mrs.
Feinstein explained to her hus-
band. II think you put too much
of the Maccabean spirit in them.
I heard Phil telephoning Ruth and
I never h a ID him speak with
such resoluteness to her. He was
always sort of afraid Of her-and

MIR. Feinstein had never looked
more serious and his children
knew that when his dander was
up, they had better obey.
Mrs. Feinstein said nothing, but
there was a look in her eyes
which her children plainly UNDER
stood too. It meant that if they
knew what was good for them,
they had better stop what they
were doing and converge about
Papa Feinstein and the candles
which he was about to light.
'I'm here, Pop" said Phil.
"Me too," said Benny.
"And Pm here" chirped little
Sarah.
"Good," said Mr.. Feinstein.

that while one might not borrow
for other religious observances,
it was incumbent upon the Jews
even to borrow money in order
to have Chanukah candles, and
they command us to place these

light may be visible as far as pos
sible. Place them near the win

see them, for the lesson which
they teach is very important

will light the Chanukah candles. "
BLESSED, art Thou, o Lord, our
God, who performed miracles in
this season-in former times
chanted Mr.. FeinStein, kindling
the first candle.
"Amen," said Mrs. Feinstein.
The children looked on. Mrs.
Feinstein had hoped that the chill
dren would follow their mother
and say Amen, but they said no
thing. A quizzical look seemed to
spread over their faces.
Mr.. Feinstein took in the situa-
ton at once. "Of course, my chill
dren," he said, 81 am just an old
fogy and all of this holiday bust
ness is just an old fogy business.
But you must bear with us old
fogies while we are yet alive.
''The MaccabeanS of old saved
the Jewish people from distruc-

you, but to us old fogies, it is of
Importance. It also saved Chris
tianity by the way, for if the Mac
cabeans had not conquered, there
would have been no Christianity
either.
"The victory of the Maccabeans
