became the top general, an ar
rangement that continues today.
Mao's peasant army grew and
Chang Kai-shek waged bloody
war against them. The Reds re-
treated to Kiangsi and holed up
in a mountainous region about
Juichin. For three years the civil
war surged over the misty valleys
in waves of terror and obliteration
by both sides. Chang threw in
tanks and planes and clamped on
blockade that cut off the neces-
sites of life. The Reds had to
move on or die, and they decided
upon an epic march that changed
history and welded them into a
group of men and women who
had endured together a terrible
experience.
Began Applying Theory
In October of 1884, 10000 men,
women and children led by Mao
and Chu set out from South
Kiangsi. They walked for more
than year, more than 5000
miles, until they reached Shensi
! in Northwest China. They fought
an average of a skirmish a day
with Nationalist troops or warlord
forces or hostile aboriginals. They
crossed 12 provinces. high noun
tains, arid plateaus, wild rivers.
Some 10000 got through to the
quiet Yenan Valley in 1885. 1t
was so barren and run down that
nobody cared enough to make
them move on.
With his leadership strengthened
by the personal ties created by
these hardships of the long march
Mao began applying his theory OF
land reform. He perfected this
entering wedge into the mind OF
the suspicious Chinese peasant
His little holding in North Shensl
fourished and grew.
In 1886 Japan was threatening
and Mao plugged for a united
front with Chang just as the
Russians were plugging for one in
Europe against Hitler. When the
japanese struck in 1887. they had
to fight both the Reds and Chang s
Nationalist troops. But the Chi
nese coalition was never more than
rickety. Chang and Mao ac-
curately figured that each was out
to cut the others throat. They
fought Japan with mutual reser-
vations, always holding back
enough to deal with each other.
BY VI day. however, Macs
ideas of guerrilla warfare and land
reform had spread Communist
influence throughout Japanese
occupied North China. With
American help, Chang got back
to the big cities, the ports anc
along the main railways. The
Reds held the countryside.
Mao sought no test of strength
at this time, but went to Chung
king after VI day and made a
vague agreement with Chang to
settle things politically. America
sent the Marshall mission to help
with details, but suspicion pre-
vailed, both sides ignored agree
ments and the mission failed. AS
the fighting resumed full scale
Macs Communist cadres made
more and more headway among
the tattered, war-weary peasants
The seemingly endless conflict

China Has New Boss

dragged into 1948. More and
more Chinese became disgusted.
Corruption and weakness para
lyzed the Nationalists. Their
armies surrendered in droves.
Cynical, hopeless generals sold
their American arms outright to
the Reds. Manchuria collapsed.
North China followed in early
1949. Macs armies crossed the
Yangtze in early summer. South
China folded. On October /,
1949, Mao proclaimed a new CO.
alition government in Peiping
with his Communist Party the
unquestioned controlling element.
Has No Nicknames
The man thus risen to emf
nence in Asia hardly looks the
part. He has the careless appear
ance of the preoccupied thinker.
His head is massive. his forehead
high. He is tall for a Chinese.
5 feet 10 inches. He tends to
be fat. He answers rumors 25
years old that he is in ill health
with, I'm all right as long as I
can get enough Sleep" He is
quiet-spoken. He dresses slop-
PLY.
To his followers, he is Chairman
Mao-with no nicknames.
The evidence is that to his party
benchmen, Mao is still No. l when
1t comes to thinking. He is still
the one who devised successful
strategy in the past. who is willing
to listen and learn, and who can
hold the Red powerhouse to-
gether If any one can.
To the Chinese people, Mao is
still-and increasingly so in these
hard days of blockade and aerial
attack-just another new boss.
They have seen lot of them come
and go.
The China Mao has taken over
has the same basic ills that
wrecked the Nationalists - too
many people, too few ways of
keeping them in hand and i'm
proving their lot.
Mao made his first trip outside
China when he went to Moscow
to negotiate his big treaty with
Russia. History still has to write
the final meaning of this deal,
but 1t bears the stamp of expert
minds reaching an area of impor-
tant agreement. Russia gives a
small amount Of material aid
which China desperately needs.
More Importantly. Russia gives
full recognition on paper of the
principle of Chinas sovereign
equality. In return, Mao makes
China Russia's ally against the
West. More Importantly, he rec
ognizes Soviet leadership and thus
preserves the vital facade of Com
munist unity under MoScow's
authority which had been threat
ened by Marshal Tito of Yugo-
slavia.
Defying Moscow privately, how
ever, Mao may wiring further
concessions from Russia before
the game is out. If his treaty with
Moscow means what it says, Mao
has gained from Russia better
treatment and more internal free
dom of movement than any Soviet
satellite ever got before.
The rest Of Asia, because of
Moa. may face the impact of a
new kind of communism. Some

News Of Bridge Players

A dozen local bridge teams,
primed for the invasion of an
equal number of Baltimore quar-
tetteS, await the zero hour. At
2 pm. today our stars launch
their offensive to wrest the Stone
cup and the team flour title
from the Baltimore champions. A
last-minute increase in the size of
the field has prompted shifting
the match to larger quarters in
the Hotel Burlington. James G..
Stone, donor of the cup, and

enter. Another innovation in this
years series will be the two-ses-

The Travellers Notebook
You Con Get to Bermuda by Planning

Don't make the mistake of
thinking that, with the summer
season at hand. you can dream up
a trip to Bermuda tonight and go
tomorrow. The pleasant isles. ac-
quiring fame as an "all-year-
round" resort. are too popular for
that.
Time was when the Bermuda
season began in November and
lasted only through Easter. But
the 1949-50 span has continued
into June. and there is no sign the
pace will slacken materially in
July. This means q bit of advance
planning BY vacationers before
they strike out across the Gulf
Stream.
The postwar reopening Of no.
tells and the expansion of guest
houses have eliminated the. pinch
in accommodations, although ad-
vance reservations are distinctly
advisable. The major hurdle Is
getting space acceptable to the
purse on the luxurious Queen of
Bermuda or flying on preferred
dates.
Queen Packed-Travel agencies
are recommending a minimum of
two weeks in reserving plane space
and a month for the Queen. That
broad caution has exceptions,
however. If planes are solidly
booked. strong flow of requests
could launch an extra flight and
clear the waiting list. The Queen
is less flexible. Passengers have
to go into higher price bracket
or wait for chance cancellation
to put them aboard.
Those who believed the airlines'
$85 summer excursion fares to
Bermuda. pioneered by Colonial,
would ease space on the Queen
and might even force reduction
In the liners fares, guessed wrong.
The Queen is sailing weekly from
New York with all space taken.
The pressure on Washington
Bermuda flights, operated three
times week by Colonial, may be
eased somewhat after this week.
On Thursday, Pan American Air
ways will begin offering Washing
ton-Bermuda passage, via New
York, at the low excursion rate.

ans then may fly to New York on
Eastern, American or National
Airlines planes to connect with
PanAm's Bermuda planes, and re-
turn to Washisgton through New

on trip that will allow each port
to be visited. Time ashore ranges
from few hours at Gibraltar to

Several days after the launch
ing of the $25 million ship In

company confirmed reports that
the first voyage would be a gala
cruise into the region it was built
to serve. Although the ship is
being finished to provide ac-
commodations for 1000 passen-
gers, only 500 will go on the
maiden voyage. Minimum prices
will be $1,000, or less than $50
