In my spare time I have the
habit of loitering in post offices,
and while post office loitering
isn’t as much fun, say, as hang-
ing around the lobbies of bur-
lesque houses. it could be much
more profitable.
Post office walls are always
decorated with picture* of men
wanted by the police authorities,
and there is always a chance that
one of them will come in to pick
up a jar of cookies from home, a
new barrel for his sawed-off shot-
gun, or a letter from his moll.
There to a reward for the cap-
ture of most at the men, and what
better way to pick up a little pin
money than throwing a bank rob-
ber to th* floor, wresting away

him until the sheriff arrives? I
have watched enough private eye
shows and cowboy pictures on TV
to know that the odd* against a
man in the right getting hurt are

if he to accompanied by a pretty
girl or a small boy with a

ging a big-time forger the other
afternoon, and I am sure he
would have been good for enough
reward to buy us new coats for
next winter.
Mary was pretending she was
filling in a change of address
card, and I was studying the list
of Civil Service jobs open—I had
my eye on a job as a Poultry Co-
ordinator, whatever that is—
when this man walked in.
He was almost a dead ringer
for the forger whose picture was
on the wall. He had a small
scar on the bridge of his nose, his
right shoulder was lower than his
left, he wore a blue serge cap
and was whistling "How You
Gonna Keep 'Em Down on the
Cease-Fire Isn't
Popular With
Chiang's Troops
By CHARLES M. MCCANN
United Press Foreign Analyst
The Chinese Nationalists seem
to feel that any cease fire to the
Formosa strait might hurt their
chance* at ever returning to the
m Nini a nzl
The reason for that feeling to
plain.
Generalissimo Chiang Kal-Shek
has an army of about 500,000 men.
They are good men. But it has
been 5 1-2 year* since the Red*
overran China and Chiang with
drew to Formosa
The Nationalist troops have been
cut off, all that time, from their
homeland and their families. They
have been subject to the soldier's
homesickness and discourage-
ment. They want to fight their way
back.
Youth Needed for Army
It to no military secret that sol-
diers in the mass do not necessa-
rily improve with age. To main-
tain an army, the leaven of youth
is needed.
The Communists now have Chi-
na's vast reservoir of manpower
to draw upon. Chiang has only 3
million population on Formosa.
And the unpleasant fact is that the
Formosans show no eargerness to
gird for a crusade to retake Chi-
na. They just want to be let alone.
In these circumstances the Na-

When he calmed down—and I

a Special Delivery stamp.
He couldn't see my side of it
at all, and even talked of suing
me for assault and battery and a
lot of other things. I didn’t say
anything, but I couldn’t help but
think that it was I who should

tlonallsts are bitter over the pos-
sibility of a cease fire.
Dispatches from Taipel, the For-
mosan capital, told Monday at a
blast of criticism at the United
States which appeared in local Na-
tionalist newspapers.
"The trend of events seems to
show that it would be better to
be a bitter enemy at Uncle 8am
rather than a faithful ally,” one
newspaper f wi
"it is a pity that th* leading
Democracy is again preferring
surrender of principles to victory
on the battlefield.” another said
Chiang's own situation is becom-
ing more complicated as time
passes.
Chiang's one aim in life to to
lead an army back to the main-
land. He is confident that, once he
landed it, the people would rise
against the Reds. He feels that ev-
ery day which sees his army still
idle to a day loot.
Getting No Younger „
It is no wonder that Chiang
wants no cease fire. As he sees it,
a cease fire can only help the
Communists. The argument that
a cease fire would reduce Far
Eastern tension makes no appeal
to him.
Chiang has been fighting the
Communists most of the time since
1927. In that year, when President
Eisenhower was an army major.
Chiang as the Nationalist leader
bf China broke with the left wing
of his Kuomintang party. He start-
ed a mass purge of Communists,
and fighting started.
Chiang fought the Reds for 10
years until, in 1937, the Japanese
invaded China. The anti-Red fight
was renewed at the end of World
