British Hit- Winning Stride in Conflicts With Malayan Reds BY HOMER JENKS U-P Staff Correspondent The British seem to have hit a winning stride in the third of the Allied wars, against th Com munists in Southeast Asia. The news is brighter from Ma laya, even as stalemate bogs down the larger-scale struggles In Indo-China and Korea. But the Malayan war differs from the fighting farther north in that it is a struggle against scattered bands of terrorists who altogether probably total no more than 5,000 rather than against organized armies. Terror Main Weapon The Malayan Reds' principal weapon is terror; their principal ally, the almost impenetrable jungle which covers four-fifths of the Malayan Peninsula; their tactics, murder, pillage, sabotage and ambush. They hit and run, fading back into the jungle. In four years, they have mur dered 1,942 persons most of them, like the raiders them selves, Chinese. Only 89 of their victims have been British, but these include the late British high commissioner, Sir Henry Gurney, killed in an ambush last year. Hunting down the will-o'-the-wisp raiders is like searching for a needle inva haystack. Except that a haystack would seem like paradise for troops searching their way through the green hell of the jungle and wading through malarial swamps with death constantly at their elbow. British Army of 300,000 Altogether Britain has mob- bilized a motley army of 300,000 against the estimated 3,000 to 5,000 Reds. There are nearly 40,000 regular army troops, in cluding 25,000 from Britain it self, plus 60,000 full-time Ma layan police and 200,000 home guards. Backed by these forces, Brit ish High Commissioner Gen. Sir Gerald Templer's new "get " tough."' policy has begun to pay dividends. Templer not only harries the Reds with direct ac tion, and rewards for informers, but strikes at the Communist's source of supply by cracking down on villages which shelter or otherwise aid them. He im poses a drastic 22-hour curfew and other punitive measures on such villages until they mend their ways. Red Death Rate Up As a result, the British and their native allies have boosted their monthly killing rate of Reds to 93, and it's still increas ing steadily. At the same time, the death rate among the hunters has dropped 30 per cent and Communist raids are down 18 per cent Only this week, authorities re ported that a British patrol had killed Lieu Kon Hin, most no torious bandit in the Kajang area of Selangor state with a price of $20,000 on his head. The U. S. has a vital stake in the battle, as vital perhaps as in the Korean struggle. Malaya is the world's biggest single source of rubber and tin, and America is its biggest customer. . - - Central Pf.

Mr. and Mrs. Bud John and Woman RaceTrackManager Won't Bet on the Horses Chicago (U.R) A slender red head in her early 30's will pay out over a million dollars to horsemen in the next 60 days, but Marge Lindheimer won't bet on a horse. "I just don't feel it mixes," she said. "I never bet at our tracks, because every time you go near a window, somebody thinks you know something." Miss Lindheimer has been as sociated with her father, Ben Lindheimer, in virtually all his extensive business interests for the past 12 years. But her activ ity has been greatest at the race tracks Arlington park and Wash ington park. Took Over Job 1 Thus when her father, execu tive director of both tracks, suf fered a heart attack this spring and was unable to attend the race meeting, his daughter was ready to take over, even though she denies her authority. "Dad had laid out everything before he got sick," she said. "It was just a matter of follow ing through. And he's still de f riding the serious' problemsTAc- tually we re just helping him. Lindheimer hasn't been near Arlington, in the 21st day of its 36 day season, since the track opened. It was likely that he wouldn t see a race all season, even during the 30-day Washing ton season, which follows the close at Arlington.

"We're up something like 18.35 per cent in the mutuels," she said. "And I think we're put ting on a better show. "We're offering richer stakes than ever before, and we went to the $100,000 stakes to get the best horses in the country to participate in them.
