state. The Russians said they had to get police permit to even visit another part of the city; that they could not stay. overnight at any one elSe'S house without police permission; that visiting friends even was discouraged; and that police actions were taken without explanation. The Russians said that if a friend or relative simply disappeared that they knew it was the last they would hear of them, and that the police, if queried, would say they knew nothing.
 Another ironic .vagary of war concerned the cargo the ship pick ed up for the return trip to the States. Part of it was Californian grown cotton, given to Nationalist China under the foreign aid pro gram, captured by the Reds, then sold for American dollars to par chasers in this country, who could buy it cheaper there than in Cali fOrnia. 9

Hot Cargo. Story Told By Johnson

The strange story of the delivery of cargo of strategic materials, including rifles, medicine and steel, to Red China, for use by the Reds in North Korea, by an Ameri- can ship with an unwilling crew that was threatened with charges of mutiny, was told by Jack John son, city dock wharfinger, at the Rotary luncheon at the Island Fountain Tuesday.
 Johnson was an officer on the ship involved and he presented q dramatic account in log fashion of the strange voyage, and of one of the ironic vagaries of war that had them risk their lives to deliver materials that they knew would be used against Americans fighting in Korea.
 Johnson said that when they learned in the Philippines, in July of 1850, that they were to make the trip, that everyone from the master down protested the jour- ney. Johnson was one of two officers that with others repre- sented the ships crew, on visit 10 the American consulate in Japan to protest going to Red China. It was pointed out to them that it was not war" in Korea, but a police action, that the law did not prevent the shipment, and that the crew would be, sub 1ect to mutiny charges and intern ed in Yokohoma if they did not continue.
 Although it was a tense and ominous voyage to Taku Bar, the port. in north China for Tientsin,. they. arrived without incident, While unloading they were not allowed to go ashore but they did have an opportunity to talk with the Russians who came aboard. x,
 From the latter, Johnson said. the Americans learned of the oppressive life under a police

on the back of the head while

Instinctively, she said, she

struck her was not an ordinary

her mother. Mrs. Paul Kemp
who took her to Suburban Hos

From Susan's description she
was given a shot of anti-toxin
for a copperhead bite and was
transferred to Childrens Hos

was called. He examined the

back Of Susan's head and ex-
pressed the opinion he thought
it was caused by copperhead
Susan was reported to be in
good condition and well on the
road to recovery.

she has been fascinated by
snakes ever since she saw one
killed about two years ago
while she was attending a sum-
mer camp.
