Soviets Plan To Pump Fish Out of Ocean By Tom Whitney MOSCOW, Nov. 20 Soviet scientists are experimenting in methods of commercial fishing without nets. The development of this Idea is a further step in working out the technique of fish pumps with the ultimate possibility of pumping fish out of the sea. : The fish? pump? is a device widely used In the Soviet Union for rapidly emptying holds of fish ing vessels of their catch, saving valuable time and labor force. It pumps the fish and consid erable quantities of water out of the fishing vessel into containers on the shore. This device has found .use outside the Soviet Union although Soviet technical publications claim credit for its invention for Russian scientists. The project for the wider use of the fish pump in fishing Itself was outlined by laureate of the Stalin prize - and candidate of technical sciences, M. F. Chern igin, who comes from Petropav lovsk on Kamchatka where fish ing is a major industry. Authority on Pumps Chernigin is recognized as an authority on fish pumps, and he outlined his project in the Journal Tekhnika Molodezhl, a magazine on technical and scientific affairs for Soviet youths. Cherni gin's project, which he stressed was in the research stage. involves the use of large fish pumps and of acoustic detection of schools ; of fish and electric cur rent to attract the fish to the sub merged pump. '.I T Swim Up Current H- said his research indicated fish will swim up an electrical current: in the water in the same way that they will swim against an actual water current. The article said a fish pump by itself, no matter bow powerful and even if it is placed in the midst of a school of fish, will only drive the fish away because they will swim away - from the water cur rent leading to its mouth. Fish Swim into Pump On the other hand, said Chern igui, ir tne submerged pump mouth is made ; an electrode for direct electrical current flow un der water and other electrodes of the opposite pole are placed stra tegically around it the fish in the line of; flow will swim along the electrical current into the pump's mourn, i At this point they will be seized by the bump's suction and carried together with quantities of water into the ship where the fish will be stored and the water ejected. Acoustic. detection, said Chern lgin, will enable: the fishing vessel Clough-Barrick ! Company CORDIALLY INVITES YOU I TO LISTEN TO HYMNS OF' THE WORLD BEAUTIFULLY SUNG !

Nov. 20-I7PU Jean Wallace, 28, stabbed herself painfully early today a few hours after a Christmas shopping tour with the two sons she lost to Actor rranchot Tone in their divorce year ago. The blonde, ex-Earl Carroll beauty took Pascal Franchot and Thomas Jefferson, S, to see Santa Claus yesterday afternoon and then had dinner with them In Tone's home. "F-anchot called her land said he had a date," said Mrs. Mary Ingham, Jean's mother. "He want ed Jean to dine with the boys and with my little girl, Karol, who was celebrating her tenth birthday." Sometime after the children's party. Miss Wallace returned to her mother's apartment. About 4:30 a. m., Mrs. Ingham said, she was awakened by screams. Detective J. F. Thedens quoted her as saying she found her daugh ter in the kitchen with a 14-inch knife in her hand and an inch deep wound in her abdomen. Mrs, Inghams suffered a small cut on the flnge taking the knife from Miss Wallace, Thedens said. Miss Wallace was treated at George Street receiving hospital and then taken to Hollywood Presbyterian hospital, where her condition was reported I not seri OUS. Tone, notified by telephone, ap peared at the receiving hospital shortly after his former wife's de parture and Inquired about her In Juries. to locate schools of fish into which to submerge this apparatus. Chernigin says this is more than just a fantasy. ' . fife Chinese Cities Outside China Pose Problem By James D. White AP foreifn News Analyst SAN FRANCISCO. Nov. 20-WV Remember the Sudeten oroblem in Czechoslovakia before World War II? WelL there's a similar but much bigger problem about red China, i It all goes back to Uie iact mat there are 14 million Chinese who live outside China, in unassimila- ted communities, mostly in the, western Pacific. This problem is becoming active because nearly all these overseas Chinese come from two provinces recently "liberated" by the reds Kwangtung and Fukien. i Send Money Home Not only do these overseas Chinese remain generally Chin ese; they also have a habit of sending money home to their folks in China. These remittances al ways have been an important source of foreign exchange for re cent Chinese governments. The new red regime in Peiping needs this hard money just as much as its predecessors. Besides sending money home. Chinese communities abroad al ways have been important vehic les for a good part of China's foreign trade. Again, red China is interested. It needs trade. So do Chinese businessmen around the world. The political implications of this have been foreseen for some time. Some students suggest that over seas Chinese are going to become the "herrenfolk" of east Asia. Like Hitler FoUcy The theory Is that as Chinese minorities abroad undergo real or fancied bad treatment ( a la Hit ler's Sudeten Germans in Czecho slovakia) red China will beat the propaganda gong to accomplish two things: (1) Soften up the overseas Chinese for use as a fifth column in.an expanding communism. (2) Distract Chinese in china from domestic troubles. There may be a trend. The red radio in Peiping has been giving, considerable space in its broad casts to repeating messages from Chinese communities in various parts of the world. Greetings are reported from such remote places as Madagascar, apparently to give the impression that Chinese around the world are delighted with the formation of the communist-dominated government in Peiping. Gripes Heard Definite gripes against alleged ill-treatment of Chinese have been registered from Macao (the Por tuguese colony on the south China coast) and from Havana, Cuba. Seven Chinese organizations in Siam (Thailand) reportedly cab led support to Peiping, and one message concluded: "We firmly believe that the new China under the leadership of the Chinese communist party and Chairman Mao-Tze-tung will cer tainly protect the lawful rights and interests of the overseas Chin ese abroad." By far the most serious gripe. however, came from recently- liberated Amoy (in Fukien) where Chinese from Singapore described the hardships of Chinese living in British-protected Malaya, where Chinese actually outnumber Ma layans. 'Reign of Terror They claim the British are con ducting a "reign of terror" and have deported thousands of Chin ese, breaking up families, business firms, etc. In this connection it should be noted that a Singapore Chinese, one Tan Kah-kee, is a member of the Peiping govern ment. The problem still is spotty. However, the problem is consist ent in the sense that the ties be tween overseas Chinese and their homeland are based on family and business. On these roots Chinese national ism has flowered before. The fruit this time could be Soviet inter nationalism. Communists Fire On Chile Police SANTIAGO, Chile, Nov. 20-(;p)-About 35 men, described by auth orities as communists, opened fire on two mounted policemen early today, killing one.

S. defense strategy .becomes ap parent when you size up the trend in our military spending. 1. The president and his policy makeri are not building up our military, strength as though they thought war were coming soon. 2. The keynote of our defense strategy is economy striving less for great military forces than for sound financial and economic con ditions- within our nation, Secretary of Defense Johnson says "certain risks are involved" but that present, economies will not reduce American fighting power. ,3. Maintaining just sufficient armed might to avert disaster if attacked, to retaliate swiftly with B-36 bombers, to build a nucleus which can be quickly mobilized and developed. Unraveling Threads I What happened to the armed forces amid the confusion of the long battle over their appropria tions? The fiscal experts of the military establishment are gradu ally unraveling the scrambled threads, and it is at last possible to see. Congress economized in a very mild way despite all the economy talk. It cut only $119,000,000 from the navy's request for 14,347,000,000. It cut $233,000,000 from the army's request for $4,476,000,000. Cnta Net So Large Even these cuts are not so large as they look, for the requested funds had included $180,000,000 for retired pay for all three ser vices, and this was provided by congress under a aeparate head' ing. Congress gave the air force $738,000,000 more than the $4, 554,000,000 it requested. This waa to provide for a 5 8-group air force instead of the 48-group force the administration had sought. The only other major economy by congress waa to cut the funds for stockpiling of strategic ma terlaJs to $425,000,000 from the $525,000,000 the president had recommended. (This and all other appropria tions referred to here comprise only new "obiigational authority" new contract authority and cash appropriations. They do not in elude appropriations to liquidate debts incurred as a result of con tract authority provided in prevl ous years.) Lota of Economy Meanwhile the president and Secretary of Defense Johnson have been economizing in a big way The president has ordered that all funds in excess of those needed for the 48 air groups he recom mended be put aside, leaving 'is air force with almost exactly what it originally had requested. Other economies already have been effected and suu more are being planned, What is the effect of this on the armed force? The army and navy are taper ing off activities in order to live within the leaner budget. . Manpower Reduced The army is cutting its man power from 077,000 uniformed personnel to 630,000 by next June 30. It will have the same number of combat and training divisions as it now has, but the strength of some will be reduced. The army is deficient in tanks and new recoilless weapons, ac cording to Gen. J. Lawton Collins, chief of staff. It has the proto types for new equipment, he said, but no funds to put them Into pro duction. The army is now devoting Tele-fun by Warren Goodrich "As wsvcil they've hung pp. No ofM ever beltoves I hurry to get to the) phone) as quickly as I can." ...

The navy and marine corps are cutting tneir manpower from the 534,023 of last July 1 to 472,310 by next Jufy 1. It plans to pull the total down still further to 446,000 by July jl, 1951. Only 6 Large Carriers It will have only 237 .combat ships in commission on July 1, 1950, compared to 268 on Sept. 1, 1949. The plan is to have only six large carriers by- next July 1, compared to eight in commission last September 1 and 11 in 1948. In the next four months it is de commissioning 35 aircraft squad rons, which is over 20 per cent of the navy'g and marine corps' com bat aircraft. That comprises 480 of its 2,250 combat planes. .Also, six of fie navy's air basea are to be placed in reduced operating status. ; The navy Is carrying on a email amount of construction, chiefly of new types of submarines and anti submarine vessels. It la converting other ships for antl-aubmarine operations and is providing heavier decks zpr two carriers. These heavier decks will not enable I the navy to develop the type of ! aircraft carrier work with large bombers that had been planned for the super - carrier which Secretary Johnson vetoed. The air force will continue with its B-3S program on schedule. It has 169E on hand or on order.
