Chinese Forces Locked In Battle For Nanking
By UNITED PRESS
An estimated 750,000 Chinese Nationalist and Communist troops were locked today in a fierce battle above Nanking that may determine the fate of that Nationalist capital.
Front reports said both sides have thrown all available strength into the see-saw struggle raging over a 40-square-mile area along the Haui river 120 miles north of Nanking.
Generalissimo Chiang Kai-Shek was reported to have called reinforces from as far as Sinkiang province to bolster Nanking's outer defenses. Part of the Nanking garrison already has joined the battle.
Nationalist military quarters conceded the outcome of the battle probably will determine whether Chiang can hold his capital through the winter.
The government belatedly admitted the fall of Sucow, 185 miles north of Nanking. The Suchow garrison has joined Tu's forces in the assault on Subsien from the north.
The rush to leave Nanking was in full swing. It was estimated that 200,000 persons, mostly families and dependents of officials, planned to join the evacuation. Twelve long trains were leaving every 24 hours on the 140-mile-trip to Shanghai.
Paris—The United Nations Political committee rejected an Anglo-American recommendation that the Arab part of partitioned Palestine be merged with Trans-Jordan. The vote was 26 to 18 with 12 abstentions.
Landsberg, Germany—Four more German war criminals were hanged for crimes against Allied airmen captured during the war. Altogether 233 Nazi war criminals have been Langed at Landsberg since the end of the war.
Berlin—The Western sectors of Berlin mustered their full force of 10,000 German police to block any Communist attempt to break up Sunday's municipal elections, which Soviet authorities outlawed in their sector. Russia's military government recognized the new Communist puppet regime in Eastern Berlin.

Always They See Floating Bodies! A Poor Harbor Patrolman Wails
New York—(UP)—Patrolman Gerald Devine is glad to see cold weather set in. People on upper Riverside Drive keep their windows shut and don't see bodies floating in the North River.
"It's awful in the summer," he said. "They keep their windows wide open and sit there all day long looking at the river. Some of them use binoculars all day long. Drives us❤️| nuts.
"They see bodies floating in the water and we rush up there and find a tree trunk or a barrel or something. They see people getting in trouble in small boats and we rush up there and find a new Navy buoy or something."
Mr. Devine is a member of the harbor precinct, a unit of the New York City police's emergency service division. He works out of Pier A at the lower tip of Manhattan island up the Hudson as far as Yonkers, maintaining a regular patrol and answering emergency calls.
"Let somebody really fall in the drink." Patrolman Gerard said, "and chances are some patrolman will telephone us before the people with the binoculars see what's actually happened. But if it's a false alarm they telephone all day long, especially on Sundays."
They can glide into a slip and spot any irregular activity before cuipirts are aware of their existance, and consequently have cut thefts from the waterside to a minimum
The harbor precinct maintains a regular patrol at irregular hours throughout the dock area on New York's 578 miles of waterfront. Police launches cruise slowly up and down the river on both the New York and New Jersey side looking for trouble.
Virginia Carter, College freshman has been elected president of the junior Pan-hellenie. Marlene Nickel, Fine Arts freshman, is the secretary. Nancy Myer, College freshman, is the representative to the senior Pan-hellenie.
"But just wait until warm weather," Devine said. "Up go the windows. People stick their heads out and right away they begin seeing things. You always get a call at a quarter of four when you're supposed to be off at four."
Carter Is New President Of Junior Pan-hellenics
Harbor police work was slowed during the longshoremen's strike—no shipping, no trouble. They were set for emergencies, though, able to take over and operate essential food and fuel tugs shouldug workers walk out with the longshoremen.
The junior Pan-hellenic will meet at 4 p.m. Wednesday, Dec. 8 at the Kappa Kappa Gamma house.
Hobo Elite List Out

Dan O'Brien, honorary hobo king "for senile delinquency. He's become a bottle baby."

Admitted:
Hobo King Ben Benson "who at the age of 65 made a coast to coast trip without any money, despite rising living costs including demands for tips by flophouse attendants, and is now in Pershing square, Los Angeles, defying all hobo kings to come out and fight."
Boxcar Betty, cigar smoking, 200 pound former hula-hula dancer, coal miner and snake charmer, for donating five city lots in North Brunswick, N. J., for a hobo's rest home.

"The Boeing organization," said Harold W. Zipp, chief engineer at Witchita, "offers the graduating engineer the opportunity to select the specific branch of aeronautical engineering in which he would prefer to specialize—and at the same time permits him to do it while working on the latest developments for the armed services and the commercial airlines.
Boeing Men To Interview Engineers
Coming from the plants where the 600-mile-an-hour B-47 Stratojet bomber is to be placed into production, representatives of Boeing airplane company, Wichita, will be at the University Monday, Dec. 6 and Tuesday, Dec. 7, to interview graduating engineers for possible positions with the aircraft firm.
"Besides graduating engineers, we are on the lookout for experienced engineers who would like to become affiliated with Boeing at Wichita and work on the B-47. Also, we are in immediate need of men skilled in tool planning, tool designing, scheduling, estimating and plaster pattern making."
Reactivated in mid-March by Boeing and the air force, the huge bomber plant at Wichita—birthplace during World War II of 1,644 B-29 superfortresses—is now being geared to production needs of the swept-wing, six-jet B-47. During the past eight months the plant has been modernizing B-29's and also modifying the B-50 Superforts now being turned out at the Seattle factories
Immediate expansion of the Boeing-Wichita engineering department is one of the first requirements of the new long-range program involving the B-47. The engineering department at Wichita is being enlarged to provide a group to work in conjunction with engineers in turning out the production design and detail drawings from which the B-47 will be built.
Boeing-Wichita engineering representatives have coordinated their two-day visit with Dean T. Dewitt Carr of the School of Engineering.
