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. . - -

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.
"He's feeling well," Miss
baby, San Francisco, are guests
at the home of her uncle, Harold
Towse, of East Evans road. They
are returning from a vacation
in Idaho Mrs. John is the former
Laurence Ballard.
"Leghorn"' hats are so called
because they have long been

Lindheimer said. "But he's got
to take it easy and give his
heart a chance."
Complete Managment
Meanwhile, despite her de
nials, Miss Lindheimer was
managing the track complete
ly. "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.
"It's merchandinsing, like
giving Ray Robinson $125,000.
He's worth it because he'll draw
that many people.
"We feel you have to spend
money to make money and we
always want to put on a quality
show. Certain tracks make more
money than we do, but we have
the satisfaction of having a nice
product, a nice track, a nice
plant, fine horses and a good
program."
Police Suspicious
Despite Excuse
St. Paul, Minn. 4J.R) Po

small amount of money and
cigarets when police arrested
her. Witnesses said they saw

an told police.
