SHANGHAI W I spent the last 50 houri In the middle of
another country'! civil war. I wouldn't have missed it, but I
want no encores.
The battle ended Thursday night. But the feeling you get
from being a target hangs on. When I walked across the garden
bridge at dawn today I felt as

if thousand suns must De
Dointed at me. I expected them
to start firing at any moment.
Several hundred civilians, in
cluding 20-odd foreigners, were
caught in the Droaaway man
sions. There were 200 National
ists there who used the sky
scraper windows as gun ports
and drew Bales of return fire,
Three times bullets chipped
the ledges of windows and bal-
ponies near me and made me
run for cover or fall to the floor
The view of the battle was un
excelled too good in fact.
The mortars were the worst
of all. Even a block away they
exploded with a shattering blast
To sit and wait for the next
one and not being able to do
anything about it is most nerve
wracking.
We whiled away the time
wondering what the upstairs
dining room would have for
lunch besides eggs and digging
bullets from the walls as sou
venirs.
It was hard to stay away from
the windows. Even when the
firing was the hottest we al
ways crept to the windows and
took a peek to see how things
were going. It was better to take
the risk than to remain ignorant.
Trying to convince the Chinese
troops in the building that the
last ditch fight was pointless
was agonizing, we toox mem
to the top of the building and
showed them the white flags
flying on the other Nationalist
buildings. But they still would
n't agree to call it off.

The Chinese building manager
got on the telephone and tried
to telephone Nationalist officers
in other buildings. He came back
with the word:
I have contacted the Salva
tion army all will be well."
That floored us. It turned out
he meant the People's Libra-
tion Army (communist).
Being a newspaper wife when
I finally got out I spent three
hours reading the papers. Then
took a bath.
Now I am going to sleep for
