China High-Command
Sends Fresh Armies
To Battle of Suchow
NANKING, Nov. 17—(AP)—China’s high command, as
serting the communists already have lost 90,000 men, sent
fresh armies into the battle of Suchow today.
The nightly communique of the defense ministry claimed
more than half the communist veterans who mounted the ma
jor assault east of Suchow had been killed or wounded.
(On the other hand, the communist radio said nine govern
ment divisions were ‘ wiped
out”, including the 63rd and
107th armies. That could be
90,000 men. Both sides are in
clined to exaggerate casual
ties.)
Most Chinese sources doubt
ed that the Suchow "victory” was
all the newspapers said it was.
Agency Contradicts
The official Chinese Central
News Agency contradicted its own
earlier reports on one phase of the
Suchow battTe. It said communists
were attacking the city from three
sides—south, southwest and south
east. Fighting was reported in vil
lages seven miles from the city lim
its.
Only yesterday Central News
said the Reds were fleeing south of
Suchow. But its latest dispatch
credited the communists with
mounting two divisions in that sec
tor. It also told of a “furious bat
tle” east of the city where the Reds
supposedly had been routed.
But it appeared Generalissimo
Chiang Kai-Shek’s forces in the op
ening phase of the fateful battle at
least held their own with some of
the best troops in the communist
armies.
They did it with the surprise use
of a tank column and all-out sup
port from the air force. War planes
flew shuttle from Nanking, 200
miles to the south, bombing and
strafing.
Both sides are gathering strength
for the second phase.
Afternoon newspapers said troops
under Gen. Liu Ju-Ming, moving
north from the Nanking area, had
joined units attacking the com
munists who have encircled Suh
sien, 50 miles south of Suchow.
This is a sensitive point. Suhsien
lies on the railway connecting Su
chow with Nanking. The commun
ists are supposed to hold 30 miles of
the line. The loss of Suhsien (which
the communists say they have tak
en ) would*be a serious blow to gov
ernment hopes of recovering the
railway.

Econ. Meeting
Draws Professor
Dr. Zenon Szatrowski, associate
professor of economics, will deliv
er a paper in Cleveland on Decem
ber 30 at a joint conference of the
Economics association, American
Statistical association, and the
Econometrics society, December
27-30.
“Oscillatory Models in Measur
ing Persistency Characteristics of
Economic Time Series” will be the
title of Dr. Szatrowski’s paper. His
idea is to extract information from
the past behavior of time series
which is useful in projecting cycli
cal patterns in the future. A time
series, Dr. Szatrowski explained,
is a series of production or price
figures over a long period of time.
His paper will be concerned with
no particular period, but will be
largely in a theoretical sense.
Information of this kind is very
useful to the businessman in plan
ning business and investment poli
cies and inventory problems, and
is of interest to the economist.
Dr. Szatrowski expects to ad
dress from 30 to 50 delegates in
his group. About 2000 economists,
statisticians, businessmen, and
graduate students from all over
the United States will attend the
conference, he said.

Business Booms in 'PX7;
Not a BA, Says Hageman
Few small businesses confined to
a room seven by ten have a monthly
gross income of $1200. Hageman’s
P-X located in Vet’s dorm I has.
Carrying all of the commodities
its name implies, the little store was
started as a convenience to the
students in the dorms with perhaps
a little pecuniary interest on the
part of owner-operator Grant Hage
man; and he isn’t even a B-A ma
jor.
Opened in the fall of 1947, “Hage
man’s” has done a thriving business
in snacks for late evening chomping,
in magazines, pocket books, tobac
co, and lately, laundry and cleaning
service. A seasoned veteran of the
dorms can readily forecast hash on
the common’s menu by measuring
the line in front of Hageman’s.
When there’s hash the line is long.
Competition in advertising is rife
between Hageman and his competi
tor, “Energetic” Tom Burbee in
dbrm II. Placards and posters adorn
bulletin boards and bare walls
throughout the dorms and the pas
sageways in the commons.
That some of the P-X advertising
is ingenious is well illustrated in one
of the latest posters. When the new
Esquire calendar came out this fall,
Hageman notified his patrons of
their availibility thusly:
“Esquire calendars, small chintz
size; 35c; large super size; 50c.
.. Proprietor Hageman reports most
of his sales in this item were of the
large super size. Snob appeal ?

Hageman not only Has an agency
for a downtown laundry and clean
er, but advertises above the Ben
dixes in the dorms that he has^soap
powder, bluing, and clothespins.
Two steady employees alternate
with the owner in waiting on custo
mers. Only-one man can work be
tween the shelf lined, refrigerator
filled room and at most, two or
three cutomers can crowd into the
room with him.
At least one of these will be read
ing a comic or cheese-cake maga
zine. So far no one has been asked
to refrain from the free reading
privilege. Some of the issues of
Sunshine and Health are a trifle
dog-eared from casual glancing.
The P-X is open 27 hours a week.
Eleven to one during the noon hour,
8:30 till 11 in the evening, and
from 5 till 11 on Sunday evening
when there is no evening meal serv
ed at the commons.
A junior, Hageman says he has
nc plans for disposing of his gold
mine when he graduates. Probab
ly it will be sold to some other en
terprising student to carry on Its
service to dormitory men.
Children begin to be civilized
about the time when they realize a
person can get a square meal de
spite the use of table manners.
