By Anonymous

I saw the birth of a Communist
regime What I saw was frighten-
ing Not at first for its brutality
but the skilled insidious nature OF
the move. Chinese Communism is
something designed by Chinese for
Chinese. and it is a deadly and
deceitfu thing
After the fall of Marking in lnte
April 1949 Red armies swept
across the provinces south of the
Yangtze river I was living in the
capital of one of those southern
provinces when Communist forces
invaded the city
I was absorbed in my nursing
profession and the Reds seemed
far away until the Voice OF AM
erica suddenly announced" Com
munist troops have entered the city

Different Pattern

When the Communist revolution
occurred in Czechoslavakia in Feb
ruary of 1948 the changeover was
so rapid and brutal that within Is
days full-fledged Communist
state was in operation. The occu-
patton of China followed a differ
ent pattern

peoples capacity for passive resist

plans were made to entice them

NEW YORK, Mar. 14.-Stocks
we're knocked down sharply in a
selling wave today, but recov-
cred and managed to maintain
some stability around the lows.
Losses ran from / to 5 points
during the morning. BY early
afternoon. most stocks were a
trifle above their lowest prices.
Trading expanded swiftly
when the selling was underway.
The fall was a continuation of
the sharp drop Of last week, the
greatest weekly decline in Is
years.
The tape was behind in re-
porting floor dealings at the end
of the first hour. The exchange
had to resort to the emergency
system of flashing prices directly
from the trading floor.
Stocks hardest hit included
Bethlehem Steel, General Motors,
Sears Roebuck. Bendix Aviation,
United Aircraft, Radio Corp,

Production Of Steel
Climbs 10 Within
Shade Of So Peak
Bv the Associated Press

CLEVELAND, Mar. 14.-Steel
production climbed last week to
within a shade of the record out
put of 2,324,000 net tons set
March 20. 1858, Steel Magazine
said yesterday.
Tie Woodworking weekly re-
ported a one-point rise in pro-
duction during the watk ended
yesterday, bringing rated capac-
lty to 92.5 per cent.
That yielded 2,208,O00 net tons
of steel for ingots ana castings.
To match the record, producers
would have to raise their operat-
ing rate by only As points, to 96
per cent of rated capacity.
In setting the 1858 record, the
industry operated at 1921 per
cent of a 2,254,459 net ton ca
pacity. The lower percentage re-
quired now to match the record
comes from a larger current ca
pacity in the industry. An out
put of 2.4l3,278 net tons now
represents the industry's full ca
pacity.
Among the Nations steel
making districts above the ma
tional average last week we're:
Youngstown, where rates rose
3 points to 95 per cent of capa-
city Western districts. where
output rose 2 points to 96 per
cent. The mid-Atlantic district,
which saw two-point increase
to 80 per cent.
Operations based on revised
rates for the preceding week
produced these current figures:
In Cleveland-up is points
to 81 per cent; Pittsburgh-up
l point to 91.5 per cent; Detroit
up 0.5 point to 88 per cent.
Declines were recorded in
Chicago-down 0.5 point to CAS-
per cent; Wheeling-down rs
points to 92.5 per cent and Gin
cinnati-down 0.5 point to IS
per cent.
Rates were unchanged at 96
per cent in st. Louis, 80 per cent
in New England and 86.5 per
cent in Birmingham.

By the Associated Pres,

The Agriculture Department
Is making new studies Of the food
stamp plan for moving surplus
foods onto tables Of low-income
groups.
Under such a plan operated
by the department between 1889
and 1913. stamps good for the
purchase of designated surplus
foods at regular retail stores were
distributed through designated
relief groups. The Government
redeemed the stamps from the
grocers.
Officials emphasized, however,
that the current study is being
made as preparedness measure.
with no thought of either advo-
eating or discouraging the idea
Bills have been introduced in
Congress for several years calling
for re-establishment of the
stamp plan.
The department, when called
on to give its views, has usually
suggested that it might be better
to do some experimenting on q
