Radio Reports
Peiping Bombed
By Nationalists
Shanghai, May 5 (IP) The com
munist radio reported that Chi
nese nationalist planes yesterday
bomhed Peiping, the old capital
which fell into communist hands
some months ago.
The broadcast from Peiping said
the raiders dropped 25 bombs in
the Nanwang sector of the city,
destroying some houses. It did
not mention casualties.
The report of the Peiping raid
caused surprise here, together
with speculation on where the
planes were based. Some sources
believed they might be flying from
Tsingtao, only east China city
north of the Yangtze still In gov
ernment hands.
Other quarters speculated that
they might be flying from Shang
hai. Only two days ago the offi
cial news agency said the nation
alist air force was concentrating
here to join in an all-out defense
of the city.
Garrison headquarters here
threw a division of reinforcements
into the battle for Hashing, bid
ding to check a communist drive
up the railroad to Shanghai.
Troops Dig In
The nationalist troops dug in
on a short semi-circular defense
line five miles west of Kashlng,
which is 50 miles southwest of
Shanghai, to meet the communist
assault.
Telephone reports from Hash
ing said the sound of artillery
and rifle fire was audible from
the north and west.
Troops on Shanghai's western
perimeter 12 miles from down
town began chopping down groves
of trees in the swanky Hungjao
residential area to build tank
traps and blockhouses.
These defenses apparently were
intended to help stop the commu
nists on the southwest approaches
if they should break through the
Kashlng line.
The exodus from Shanghai
slowed up today, with airlines re
porting that the rush to leave is
falling off. But the economic sit
uation continued to deteriorate..
Operation of the public utility
systems was threatened with a
breakdown as a result of mount
ing internal pressures caused by
the communist siege.
Affected by the danger were
electric power and gas plants, the
waterworks, telephone company
and bus and streetcar lines.
Stock Market.
Still Irregular
New York, May 5 (IP The
stock market turned Irregular to
day after a short lived attempt at
the opening to extend the rise of
yesterday.
Wall street attributed the day's
mild profit-taking primarily to
realization that while lifting of
the Berlin blockade is good news
on the international front, It does
little to change the deflationary
trend that Is developing in the
United States.
New emphasis .was given the
deflationary movement during
the day when Dr. Edwin Nourse,
chairman of the council of econ
omic advisers to the president,
said he personally anticipated a
further drop in living costs.
Nourse said the cost of living
would recede further as wholesale
price cuts "trickle down" to the
consumer.
The council chairman also said
that the recent improvement in
employment was "mostly season
al," a statement the market com
munity viewed as bearish.
Meanwhile, the individual in
vestor the man Wall street
wants to show more Interest in
securities has found nothing in
the general picture which now
includes the Ford strike -to raise
his enthusiasm for stock market
invest ment.

Sfamp Collection Featured;
Club Members Enter Exhibits
By C. K. Well
(PrrsiiU-nl, Brml FhiUtplir Society)
The king of hobbies, as stamp
collecting is often called, has the
spotlight this week in the win
dows of the Wall street Hardware.
Incased in attractive new display
frames, against colorful back
grounds, are displayed some of
the world's most attractive
stamps. Members of the Bend
Philatelic society prepared tne
frames, using material from their
collections, to show Central Ore-
gonians what they are missing by
not pursuing this fascinating hob
by, if they are not already doing
so.
Included in the exhibit is a
group of 25 "blow ups" of stamps
depicting scenes throughout the
world. They are on loan from the
New York Herald Tribune.
Anyone who is bitten by the
"philatelic bug" and contemplates
forming a collection along topical
lines or country groups should get
a few pointers from a seasoned
collector before embarking on a
collection. There are pitfalls to be
avoided and whether the novice
applies for club membership or
would prefer to collect by himself
he is invited to get in toucn wnn
the club president or Mrs. Harold
Rice, secretary, for tips regarding
removal of stamps, their mount
ing, album types, etc.
The local club is federated with
the National Federation of Stamp
clubs and is one of the most active
philatelic group,s ln the state. The
meeting nights are the first and
third Tuesday of each month.

Coldest Glass of Water
Produced by Science
Schenectady, N.Y. HI') How cold
can a glass of water get, General
Electric scientists at the com
pany laboratory here wanted to
know.
The scientists have super-cooled
water to 71 degrees below its
so-called freezing point without
changing Its form.
They say that for water to
freeze, not only must the tempera
ture and pressure be right, but
also particles must be present
about which the material can
freeze. These particles are called
"nuclei" and by getting rid of
them, scientists have super-cooled
water 71 degrees fahrenhelt
below Its freezing point; mercury
72 degrees fahrenhelt below its
freeing point; tin 198 degrees,
and gallium 125 degrees.
Too Many Lawyers,
Stanford Decides
Palo Alto, Cal. "'' With 14,500
lawyers ln the field, another 1,000
due to be admitted to the bar this
year and 5,000 students enrolled
In law schools, the legal profes
sion has Just about reached the
saturation point In California.
So believes Prof. James Bren
ner, head of the Stanford univer
sity law school, who announced
his school will cut its enrollment
this fall.
Brenner advises new lawyers
to get out in the rural areas and
small cities because two-thirds of
the state's lawyers are practicing
in the metropolitan centers. San
Francisco, alone, has 2.800 law
yers, which Is 100 more than taxi
cab drivets and 700 mote than

Masked Gunmen
Get Big Payroll
Cleveland, May 5 mi A gang of
masked gunmen, working in com
plete silence, took a $25,000 pay
roll from officials of the Lincoln
Heights Savings & Loan company
at noon today after forcing their
car to a halt.
Two cars of the robbers forced
the bankers' tfuto to a halt. The
bandits then smashed the car win
dows with pistol butts and took
the money which was in seven
bags in the rear seat. . !
William G. Ziemba, 70, vice
president of the bank, said, "Take
it, for God's sake, and. don't
bother me," as the robbers came
at his car from both sides and
he was showered with broken
glass from the windows.
Cut by Glass
Anton Bizga, 63, a bank teller,
who sat beside Ziemba in -the
front seat, was slightly cut by
flying glass. '
The two were returning to their
bank ylth the payroll money they
had picked up at a branch of the
Cleveland Trust Co.
Ziemba said he did not notice
anyone following him but that a
car coming from the other direc
tion stopped in front of him. As
he pulled to a stop, another car
bumped him slightly from the
rear.
The robbers, wearing white
handkerchiefs on their faces, im
mediately swarmed out of the
cars and pointed guns at the
bankers.
The doors of Ziemba's car were
locked, so the robbers smashed
the windows.
After taking the money, the
bandits fled in a 1937 Buick sedan,
which was behind the bank car.
They abandoned a 1949 Ford
which had blocked Ziemba's car.
License numbers on both the rob
bers' cars were issued to Akron,
O., owners.
