Reporter Says (Editors note: Wayne Rlehardion, veteran Assoclattd Press oorrepsondent at Hong Kong, was aboard the Amerl. can freighter Flying Arrow when a Nationalist gunboat riddled her with shot off Shanghai. The following dispatch was written aboard the ehlp after he epent four days ashore In Communist North China at Tslngtao while the ehlp was unloaded). . By WAYNE RICHARDSON ENROUTE TO KOBE, JAPAN, Jan. 25. P A black picture of chaos and famine in Communist North China was given to me ' during the four days I spent ashore on Shantung peninsula while the Flying Arrow unloaded cargo at Tslngtao, once the base of the American Asiatic fleet. My Informant was a well-informed source. His name cannot be used. He said: "Poor crops in Shantung (one of China's richest agricultural ar eas) will make impossible any . surplus for expqrt. Consequently . many millions of people will starve Deiore next years nar vest,, despite anything the Com' munlst government could do ev en if it was willing. Even now in various areas people are eat ing herbs and leaves. Trained Men Lacking "The administrative Dlcture Is absolutely a mess, because of lack of trained personnel' and Communist reluctance to utilize available experienced profession- al men. "T h e average Shantungese thinks even less of the Reds than he did of Kuomintang (Chiang Kai-shek's Nationalist party) but will remain apathetic. Sonse quently by resorting :o Gestapo methods, there appears no rea son . to believe the armed Com munists cannot maintain effect ive control." My informant said there was no more behind the Communist money than was behind Kuo mintang currency. "That is why their exchange Is going to hell," he said bitterly. The exchange rate ni Tslngtao was 21,000 Communist dollars to U "The Kuomintang through . sheer corruption and robbery of the people by their financial mea sures lost any remaining pres tige they might have had tn Shantung,", he said. "Having lost to the reds poli tically, their (the Kuomintang's) military defeat was a foregone conclusion. Such American mili tary aid, which was considerable, as was rendered the Nationalist military authorities in Shantung directly or Indirectly might just as well have been given the Reds directly." He said the Communists pre- Wed Jan. 25, 1950 Tht News-Review, kosebura, Or. 9 sent policy of taxation indicates they intend to drive out all pri vate trade. "The volume of business is not used as a basis for taxation but rather each guild Is allowed so much to be prorated among members," he said, "Many firms, foreign and Chinese, al ready have closed or applied for permission to close," he said. This man said that since last year's withdrawal of U. ,S. Mar ines from Tslngtao the people would welcome back the Japan ese to reestablish law and order and reasonable taxation. "Despite the publicity given in the Communist controlled press concerning friendship with Rus sia and the formation in Tslngtao of a branch of the Chino-Soviet Friendship society, the average Soviet citizen is accorded no bet ter treatment than any other for eigner," he said. U. 8. Property Taken All U. S. government property tn Tslngtao has been taken over by the Reds. One oldtime resident of Tslng tao, who also desires anonymity, commented: "The rich are getting poor, and the poor still poorer." He told me of the ruse the Communists used to obliterate robbers and begga's, "They arrested one robber," he said, "and convinced him that he would not be molested if he registered his trade. He register ed, told his colleagues about it and they registered, too. Then the police cracked down and arr ested all of them. Since then there have been no more robberies. The same trick, he said, was I piayea on Deggars. Alter they all registered, they were arrested and sent te the "salt mines" to labor. This source said the Commun ist government gained control of all food in the city through informers. Russians Digging '. Uranium In Red Zone Of Germany LUENV3BURG. German v.. Jan. 25. W) The Russians were reported today to have be gun digging uranium from a new field in the Soviet zone of Ger many. Five German workmen, who said they fled from a mine lo cated in the Harz mountains, a bout 25 miles from the British zone border, told British and west German officials that work began last Friday at the new mine, near the town of Wernl gerode. Two accidents already have marred efforts to get the mine into production of the ore used in atomic science, the men said: Four men were killed by a mine-shaft cave-in and two by an explosion of a hydrogen bottle, they reported. They said the mine's labor for ce was expected to reach 2,500, including prisoners sentenced as criminals, but not including Ger man war prisoners. . .
