Enjoyment of American Mechanical
Devices Aim of Chinese Communists,
Confident of Overthrowing Chiang
(Editors Note: Associated Press Correspondent Seymour Topping
spent a week behind Chinese Communist lines. He was not allowed
to remain nor send any dispatches while there. Here Is a delayed
dispatch written In Communist terr'tory and filed on his return to
government-held Pengpu.)
OUT OUR WAY
By J. R. Williams
By SEYMOUR TOPPING
A COMMUNIST ARMY HEADQUARTERS NORTH OF THE
HWAI RIVER, China, Jan. 8. Delayed) Chinese Communist
soldier are confidently singing victory songs and talking of the
day China will enjoy American mechanical wonders.
Their admiration for things American Is summed up In the
words of one Communist officer. He told me:
"Twenty years after all China Is Communist, we shall have
automat restaurants."
Enthusiastic about the automat, he described Its wonders to me
from pictures he had seen.
Communist soldiers showed
equally great admiration for
American gadgetr
On the other hand there was
deep resentment Indicated for
American assistance given the
national government. This was
particularly true for American
built planes flying overhead. Judg'
lng by Communist reactions, the
planes are an important morale
factor, If not a great combat as
set, In favor of the nationalists.
No noticeable hostility to me as
an individual American was ever
demonstrated.
The Red soldiers showed great
curiosity about the United States
and the life of Its people. Sev
eral quoted from their propa-1
ganda Instruction about the poor
in the United States and Jim
Crow practices In the south.
The Communist soldiers believe
Amprlcan workers solidly sup
port them. One read to me from
a Communist newspaper of a
worker demonstration In Wash
ington against aid to Chiang-Kai-shek.
The commanding officer of the
last Communist unit I visited

American friends for Democracy,

As I left he said, "Good bye, I
will .see you In Nanking."
The victory-flushed Communist
soldiers on this front, where 2:50,
000 Nationalist troops have been
eliminated In the last two months
are filled with confidence. But
the date they expect to reach
the Nationalist capital Is far
later than the time predicted by
most observers In Nanking it
self. Only a few of the Red troops
spoke of occupation of Nanking
and Nalionalist surrender as
early as this spring.
Soldiers talk of the Red strate

diers signal the dawn and the
beginning of drill sessions by
singing in chorus, "On to Nan
king and strike down Chiang
Kai-shek." In leisure hours while
they stomp about fires warming
themselves, they sing verses In
praise of Communist China and
the Soviet Union.
Soldiers, eager for a foreign
listener, showed me propaganda

Teachers expressed dissatisfac

higher paid professions for high
cost housing

the Senate Civil Service Commit
tee. Chairman Johnston (D-SC)
told reporters he sees no reason
why the bill should not be passed
by the Senate on Thursday. He
said the committee vote for the
measure was 10 to 1.
Senator Langer (R-ND). said
he cast the dissenting vote.
"I voted against it because a
lot of folks are not included in
it," Langer said.
The measure gives the Presi
dent a tax-free expense allow
ance of $50,000 in addition to the
pay raise. It also raises the pay
of the Vice President and the
