Madame Chiang Kai-Shek
Not Buying Property in U. S.
By WILLIAM R. SEARS
New York (U.R) Madame Chiang Kai-shek, first lady of China
gets a laugh every time a new report crops up about her buying
real estate in this country.
She still hopes to return to China.
A one-time leader in Chinese politics, now retired and in this
country, said he has talked with
the Missimo about it. He sees
her almost every day, a mem
ber of her intimate circle of
friends and relatives.
"She hasn't bought anything
herself," he reported, "nor does
she know of any friend who has
given her any real estate prop
erty." Madame Chiang has steadfast
edly refused to grant newspaper
Interviews since she came here
more than a year ago. One ex
ception was a reporter who re
turned from China with a per
sonal message from her husband.
But pieced together from ac
counts by visitors and members
of her family, here's a picture of
how she lives and what she's
doing:
She stays with her sister, the
former Eling Soong and present
wife of H. H. Kung, one-time fi
ance minister and vice-premier
of China. He, too, is here, as
head of the Bank of China.
The home was built by a mis
sionary and sold to a business
man. When he moved to Hart
ford, Conn., he put it up for
rent. When Madame Chiang
came to the United States for
medical treatments in 1944 she
took it. She returned to China
during the war and Madame
Kung who required treatment at
the Medical Center here, moved
In and today is her sister's host.
An English-s t y 1 e country
house made of red brick with a
gray slate roof, it is set off from
the road in suburban Riverdale,
N.Y. Within the limits of New
York City, it is just below Yon
kers and overlooking the Hud
son River.
Tastefully furnished, It Is rich
but not ornate or ostentatious.
A central fireplace in the main
living room is flanked by two
mauve couches, while another,
stretching at right angles to the
two fronts the fireplace.
Off on one side is an oil paint
ing of Chiang Kai-shek in his
uniform as generalissimo of Chi
na. In a standing frame on a
small glass-topped end table is
a framed photograph showing
H. H. Kung with President Tru
man. Madame Chiang rises early
every day, says her morning
prayers, has breakfast and set
tles down to work. All the morn

ing newspapers in New York are
on her desk. Her secretary has
already noted items he thinks
will be of special interest to her.
In daily radiogram communi-
cation with her husband, she
studies reports from China. Then
she answers correspondence. She
keeps in touch with Chinese of
ficials in Washington and at the
United Nations.
"She is greatly concerned with
present day events," one source
related. "She is sad and disap
pointed over the turn of events.
But she still has a fighting spirit
and faith in God. She has con
fidence in her husband and the
Chinese people and believes
eventually right will win out.'
Madame umang "never ap

She usually spends her eve
nings at home, resting after din
ner and listening to the radio.
She reads the Bible before going
to bed.
How long she plans to stay
in the United States is not cer
tain but she has been quoted as
saying she wants to return to
her husband's side.
"She was ready to leave Oct,
28 for Formosa but when her
husband was called to the fight
ing front, her plans were chang
ed, a source said.

Record Broken
Lebanon The record held
by two brothers, William and

still under original management,
comes to an end January 1 when
the business is transferred to Os

The two Bohle brothers estab

Grove and Oak streets, churn

day, 1912. In 1929 they moved
into their present modern build

enlarged operations, gathering
cream from points as far away

Detroit.
Their retail milk business was
established in 1927, growing
from a small line into one of
their major operations today.
The new owners will continue

the retiring owners.
Idaho Decree Upheld
In Scottish Court
Edinburgh, Scotland, Dec. 14
(U.R) A Scottish court Tuesday
upheld an Idaho divorce decree
granted to Eddie Allen Perin of
Priest River, Ida., on grounds of
mental cruelty.
In recognizing the American
decree, the court dismissed an
action brought by Perin's former
Scottish wife, who alleged adul
tery.
Lord Sorn, Scottish divorce
court justice, said the trend of
modern decisions is more and
more towards recognizing the fi
nality of the court of domicile.
He said he could "see no reason'
for refusing to recognize the
American decree.

CYA Issue Debated
Before Farm Bureau
Chicago, Dec. 14 (P) Rep.
Sanborn (R-Ida) declared yes
terday the residents of the Co
lumbia basin would be "at the
mercy" of the Columbia valley
authority if one were set up.
C. Girard Davidson, assistant
secretary of the interior, replied
that such charges "leave me
cold."
The two tangled verbally in a
no-decision debate before some
100 American Farm Bureau Fe
deration delegates at the soil and
water conference of the feder
ation convention.
Sanborn said the pending Co
lumbia valley administration
bill would set aside existing re
clamation laws and a "new era
of interpretation by a three-man
administrative board will be
gin." Davidson countered that the
CVA would merely make more
efficient the existing federal
functions in flood control, con
servation, irrigation, navigation
and power production.

To Be Spy, Woman
Needs Brains Most
Los Angeles, Dec. 14 (U.R) A
woman doesn't need sex appeal
today to succeed as a spy, a for
mer counter-intelligence officer
said, but she can't make the
grade without brains.
Michel K. Thomas, former
chief of the French Maquis, said
women were his best investigat
ors but most of the famed agents
tried to look like average per
sons instead of depending on al
lure. Thomas, who settled down to
running a language school here
after three years with the Ame
rican counter-intelligence serv
ice, said a Russian vocabulary
was a must at present for aspir
ing Mata Haris.
