Tlia conimuiuata ara mum about their military Inllurea, but rumora put Ihrlr loajes aa high aa 70.000 men and thousands of Junks and kampana. When I left Hhanghal there waa a rumor Uiat Uiry were preparing a fourth eapeditlon with .0.000 small craft. Ownera of aurh veanrla were busy dismantling or hiding them to avoid requisition. Hrukrlraa Tlie Krd charges that the United Hlatea and Urltalll Instigated the blockade do not make sense. Bhlps of both nations have run the block ade at great d.inger and expense Willi no help whatever from the Communists. The Krda crlilcixe Western na tlona for not using their navlra to break the bloikudr, yet they them- arlvra forbid f rrlgn warships to antrr tcrrllorl.il watrra and that la where thr blockade la. llrfore bring permitted to leave Bhanghal I a called to the cen tral police statlir. and questioned two hours. The questions ranged from. "How did you cover the civil war?" lo "What U your opinion of t h t Communist maiiagrmrnt of Bhanghal?' To the latter I replied that I thought Communist oltlclals were unwise In refusing to see loreign corrrspondeii'a because thrra were many Impu'lant quesllona that should be amwered In the intercuts of all parlies. "What ques:lons?" the Commu nist officer aha'ird. "Tha blockade for Instance," I repondrd. "The Communists say Ihry think the Western powers should break tne blockade since they do not rerognlw the legality of It. Yet yoj yourself forbid for eign warships from escorting and protecting foirlgn merchant ships through Chine 4 territorial waters, and that's where tha blockade la. You are not shl" to protect these ships yoursehe yet and you won't waive your or.lrr so that others can protect them. Why la that?" iood (Juration lie looked at me for aeveral sec onds and then replied: "t think that Is a very good ques tion." "Will you arrange for me lo see Chen VI i military mayor of Bhang hall ao Uiat I may ask It of Mm?" I asked. "1 am sorry." he replied, "but I am a very smkll official. I cannot do It. But It L. a good question." Easv Dinner For Christmas Day Cut mother In on the Christmas fun. Urge her to plan the Christ- mat dinner around dishes easy to prepare. Keep her out of the kitchen aa much as poaslble. That's a food formula for a Merry Christmas to all. We Sfked the cooking experta of the Bwlfl home economics labora tories to plan a "little work" fam ily Christmas dinner for this col umn. Here It Is: Ham. of course, la one of the traditional meat selections for the Christmas dinner. And a modern trndrrrd ham la one of the easiest mrala to prepare, too. because there la Utile work to baking it In an open pan In a slow oven. Hams for the Christmas dinner are available In two forms (li the familiar conk -before-eating type which, as the name Implies, re nulres baking before serving; 2i the fully cooked ready-lo-eat style which may be served cold as It Is taken from the wrapper. If pre ferred. It ran be merrlr heated through for hot service. Either style carries complete baking directions on the wrapper. for this year'a "little work" din ner, they auggest a whole or half fi''l cooked ham. Hot spiced cider, cheese-spread crackers, cel ery, carrot sticks, olives, pickles, baked ham, cranberry gelatin molds, creamed potatoes, mushroom-stuffed onions, buttered peas, roUs butter or fortified margarine, assorted chrese, fruit cake, chilled gra'ies, roffee. The first course of hot spiced cider, cheese-spread crackers and relishes to be served In the living room requires little effort. Cranberry gelatin molds for serv ice on the hsm platter are an In advance Job. Slices of canned cran berry Jelly may be used as a gar nish Instead. Onion cups, par-bollrd and stuffed with creamed mush room caps, can be prepared and refrigerated overnight for reheating In the oven for about 30 minutes Just prior to aervlng the dinner. Cook the potatoes . for the creamed potatoes the day before and cut Into big cubes. Before serv ing, cover the cubes with a white sauce (canned cream of celery soup may be substituted and bake in the oven for a half an hour while the onions are heating. A dessert to gladden the eyes Is a tray of assorted cheeses. Utile bunches of chilled green grapes and thin slices of fruit cake. Coffee served at table or In the living room, as you -prefer, climaxes this easily prepared, memorable Christ mas dinner. Thla writer auggeats whole fully cooked ready-lo-eat atyle ham cold.
