RT IRD TUESDAY, AUGUST 28, 1951 THE DAILY TIMES-GAZETTE a E--. PAGE FIVE Chinese Base Strategy On 2,500-Year-0ld Manual By CARL FLICK-STEGER Bonn, Germany (AP) -- A Ger- man expert on Asia reveals that the military prowess of the Red Chinese is based on strategy con- ceived 2500 years ago. The strategy is contained in a manual written by China's most brilliant general of ancient times, Sun Fu, and a copy of it is cherish- ed by Mao Tse-Tung, the Commu- nist leader. Its basic principle is: "Deception and- secrecy." A German Sinologist, Ernst Cordes, in a fnew book on China entitled, 'Revolution Within A Rev- olution,' tells of Sun Fu's influence on Mao's modern campaigns. Cordes, who says he knows Mao well, reports that the Red leader was never without the torn and tattered manual in his pocket when he was in the field. Sun Fu's sage counsel is quoted thus by Cordes: "If you are abl to attack, make believe that you are not. If you are near, make the enemy believe you are far away. If you are far away, make him think you are near. Deception and secrecy are a heavenly art. Through, them we learn to remain invisible and in- audible and compel the enemy to subdue himself to our control." In the sixth century B.C., this wily general was advocating "throwing bait to the enemy to keep him moving." "Then, when the enemy has been lured into the deadly trap, picked men, lying in readiness for him, must finish him off." Other principles laid down in the time-worn military manual centre around the Chinese custom of al- lowing an opponent, even under the most trying circumstances, the op- portunity to save his face. To a world generation reared on the phrase "unconditional surrender," this advice may seem odd: "Po not fight an army that is on its way home. If an army is sur- rounded, alWays leave a small loophole open for its escape. Do not pursue a frantic eflemy too cruelly. The loftiest art of warfare Mysterious Poison Fear Seizes Town Pont Saint Esprit, France (Reu- ters) -- Fear gripped this village toaay because three of its people are dead and 24 in hospital through a mysterious poison which made them think wild beasts were chas- ing them. The poison is believed to have been in locally-made bread. Officials at a post - mortem ex- amination today were trying to find out whether the cases were caused by a fungus containing a violent poison. In the middle-ages, it was called "the burning death." Hallucinations have been a fea- ture of the poisoning. Four hospital cases have tried to commit suicide. One woman died after she jumped out of a hospital window. is to crush the enemy's resistance without fighting." - Old Sun Fu also posted this rule as never to be forgotten: Use espi- onage liberally. Forest Fire Sweeps Isle On West Coast Vancouver (CP) -- Whipped to a fury by a gale, a forest fire brough death and destruction to a tiny is- land off Vancouver island. A 50-mile-an-hour gale lashed smoulder fires into new life yester- day, causing the death of a logger and heavy property damage. Women and children were forced to. flee their homes in an isolated logging camp as a wall of fire cut a path from one side of the island to the other, a distance seven miles at the widest point. Log:ing machinery, household ef- fects and camp buildings, valued at thousands of dollars, were des- troyed. The flames were fed by large stores of gasoline in three logging camps, almost totally destroyed. At the same time as the fire raged across the island, a 90-day drought was ended at Victoria with a heavy downpour of rain. It followed widespread rain on the mainland, where the drought, starting in mid-June, has taken heavy toll of farm crops and in the forests. The rain had not been forecast by the weatherman, and he said nature may have been given a little boost by a crew of RCAF rainmakers from Ottawa. Flying the "Rockcliffe Box - Car," five scientists aboard the plane seeded cloud formations with dry ice pellets over Vancouver, the Fraser Jaliey and Vancouver Island re- ons. Free to Write Not to Spy . -Reds on Oatis London (Reuters) Prague radio, commenting on American reaction to the jailing of Associated Press correspondent William Oatis said last night there is "complete freedom of information" in Czecho- slovakia but 'no freedom to con- duct espionage." Oatis was recently sentenced to 10 years' for 'espionage' -- a sen- tence which has been blasted throughout United States and the west in general as a frameup. The Czech radio heard here, said the U. 8. was using the case as a pretext for its intention to sever relations with the Soviet Union and the "'people's democracies."

Harold Al- kins, president of the Manitoba Sugar Limited, Monday predicted an all-time record sugar beet crop in province "if the weather holds/up." va He estimated the crop at 170,000 tons from which would be extract- ed an estimated 44 million pounds of sugar. Sugar beet acreage this year was more than 19,000, Polio (Continued from page 1) youngest was a baby of five months and the eldest was a man of 23 years. Although the average age of the victims is 9.4--which is the normal--there are actually no cases in the last 10 reported between the eight and 15 years bracket. OF MILD TYPE "The only good thing about this outbreak is that it appears to be of a mild type. We have only had one reported case of the bulbar type with paralysis affecting the nerve, centre," disclosed Dr. Mac- kay. Turning to the statistics, he said that Oshawa had reached a new peak in polio for its size. Fourteen cases this year compare with no cases at all last year (1950 found Oshawa singularly free from nearly every type of communicable disease), 11 cases in 1049, no cases in 1948, three in 1947 and two in 1946. Dr. Mackay said the epidemic would not in any way interfere with the re-opening of schools for the fall term. He stressed the al- ready well-publicized tips for avoid- ing polio--for there is no form of immunization yet discovered which are to avold fatigue and chills, to keep away from contacts who are known and to observe nor- mal standards of personal hygiene. Korean Battle (Continued from page 1) ridge positions. The Communist troops attacked at 9 a.m. (7 p.m. EDT Monday). By noon two rein- forced companies were {trying to crack United Nations positions. The attack was in the same gen- eral area where a Red attack Mon- day forced U. N. troops back near- ly two miles. The fight lasted un- til nightfall. Yanggu is seven miles north of the 38th parallel. f Ships of a U. N. task force duelled for the third successive day with Communist shore batteries hidden in the cliffs near Wonsan. The U. 8S. destroyer Hopewell scored 10 direct hits in this action on a Communist bivouac area. Communist fire came close but did not damage any of the allied ships. On the west coast, the British frigates Mount Bay and More- cambe Bay steamed up the Han river estuary to shell Communist troops and big gun positions near Pungdongni, headquarters said.

The 13,000-member Canadian As- sociation of Consumers, made up mostly of housewives, has de- manded that the tax be removed because the government has been piling up surpluses in the last few months and because of the possi- bility that another budget may be brought before parliament at the fall session. In a letter to Finance Minister Abbott, signed by Mrs, W. Walton, said "electric and gas stoves are a necessity -- not a luxury in ur- ban areas -- and we feel that this tax is proving~burdensome to many consumers." The tax was imposed last spring, along with others, to help finance a pay-as-you-go policy for Can- ada's rearmament program. Court Martial murder and are to be tried later. Hutchings called Blank as the first defence witness. Blank testified that to the best of his knowledge he did not leave the rest area of the Princess Patri- cia's Canadian Light Infantry March 17. He said he was certain he did not throw a grenade. Blank said March 17 was a ho- liday among the Princess Patricias to celebrate the birthday of Prin- cess Patricia, honorary colonel of the regiment. There were sports and a great deal of drinking in the rest camp, he said. Blank X X picking up 10th para (amplifies) ? MIXED DRINKS Blank said he drank part of a bottle of Scotch whisky, five bottles of beer, a few shots of gin and a mixture of "canned heat, crude al- cohol and fruit juice." Blank said witnesses who had testified he went to the farmhouse were mistaken. He said he did not know anyone who could account for his actions during the night. Col. W. C. Dick of Regina, presi- dent of the court, asked Blank how he could be so certain he did not thow 'a grenade when he seemed to have a complete lapse of mem- ory about events of the night. Blank replied that throwing a grenade would have brought him to his senses and that he would have remembered .the incident. Hutchins, asking that the charge be dropped, said the- prosecutor, Capt. L. M.. Hanway of Amherst, N. 8., had not established a prima facie case. : Hutchins said no one testified to having seen the grenade thrown. None of the Koreans in the house identified Blank, he added. COMMON GUILT The prosecutor argued it was nov necessary to prove Blank threw the grenade. He said if a group of persons caused the death then all members of the party were guilty. Earlier, Gibson told the court martial he heard Blank shout out- side the farmhouse: "I am going to throw a grenade." Gibson said he told Blank: "Don't be a fool, don't throw it." The three' Canadians, members of the Princess Patricia's Canadia Light Infantry, are being tried se- parately. Gibson, 22, and Pte. Alan Roy Montgomery Davis, 24, are to face a court martial later. Davis told the court he recalled drinking, beer at a party at the camp the night of March 17 and recalled going on a jeep ride. He said he did not recall how many persons were in the jeep but thought he remembered two Bri- tish soldiers. Davis said he knew Blank but did not recall seeing him on the night of the party. Pte. Donald Mitchell Gibson, 22, of Ottawa, testified he had a con- versation with Blank that night but did not recall what was said. He first said the conversation was dur- ing the first jeep ride but later sald it was between the first and second jeep rides. He testified he carried a weapon that night. The defence officer, Lt.-Col. J. A. Hutchins of Regina, objected to some of the questions put to Gib- son by Capt. L. B. Hanway of Am- herst, N. S., the prosecutor, on the ground they might incriminate Gibson. Pte. C. Beasmore of the British | Middlesex Regiment, who has been | convicted by a British court mar- tial of attempted rape at the farm- house, testified he was at the drink- ing party on the evening of March 17 and drove the group of British and Canadian soldiers to the farm- house. of the women the: soldiers found at the farmhouse when he heard an and drove the rest of the soldiers back to the camp. He said he could not recall any conversation during the trip but testified that there was 'a lot of s , Col. Hutchins told the court that he would have to consider telling Ottawa that he could not defend both Blank and Gibson. Hutchins said he was beginning to find his position impossible. "I have been sent here from Ot- tawa to defend both of. these men and here is this man (Gibson) do- ing damage to Blank," he said. |- Hutchins submitted that the evi- dence being given by Gibson not only was damaging to Blank, but that Gibson also was incriminating himself. | He said he felt the only way he could proceed in the trial was to ask Gibson to keep silent and ans- | wer no questions. | Failing this, he would have to consider telling Ottawa that he could not defend both men. The court ruled that the prosecu- tion could continue to ask Gibson questions regarding an alleged con- versation with Blank. : But it ruled that Gibson need not answer a prosecution question on whether he heard an explosion at the (farmhouse «where the murder allegedly took place. : Gibson told the court he had heard Blank declare: "I am going 0 throw a grenade."

LEGION CARNIVAL The Legion annual carnival held in the Recreation Hall on Friday and Saturday, August 24 and 25, was not as well attended as it usually is, mainly due to the fact that the opening of the CNE and Warriors' Day occurred on the same dates.

In ad- dition to the 58,000 IUMMSW work- ers, there are 3400 members of the Metal Trades Union (AFL) in Utah who joined in the walkout. The IUMMSW headquarters said mem- bers of the railroad brotherhoods were respecting their picket lines. Maintenance workers at the 50- strike-bound plants in 15 states re- mained on duty in preparation for a quick reopening of operations when the strike ends. President John Clark of the IUMMSW said the telegraphed re- turn - to - work request from the wage stabilization board had not been received last night. He said "we want to cooperate with gov- ernment agencies involved in every way that is consistent with the in- terests of our membership and of the general welfare." Clark added: "We cannot, of course, agree to call off our strike unless and until we receive assur- ances from the government that it will press for acceptance' by the companies of its own proposal for settlement of the dispute." The four major companies af- fected by the strike are the Ana- conda Copper Mining Company, Phelps Dodge Corporation, Kenne- cott Copper Company, American Smelting and Refining Company and their subsidiaries.

When should a family borrow A family should borrow only when a loan is the best solution to a money problem. For example, to pay old debts, medical expenses, taxes, fuel, education, car or home repairs. Loans for these reasons are not inflationary, for the money is not used to buy goods in short supply or increase indebtedness. SOLVING MONEY PROBLEMS At HFC--Household Finance--we believe a family should borrow only when, by careful planning, the money problem can be re- solved, and the loan repaid in an orderly manner. When a family borrows under these circumstances, it is simply "renting" money on terms it can afford. At HFC you may borrow $50, $250, $500 or more on your signature, without bankable security.
