Sirs: Further note on the "Earthquake McGoon" saga: One evening in Cholon, Indo-China, I was being introduced by Earthquake to his favorite Szechwanese food. With his Chinese plane crew about him ... he told us about his capture by Chinese Communists in West China after his plane was downed. His captors were putting him through a long forced march to their head quarters.

Since last August, the poorly organized nationalists, armed with smuggled hand grenades, homemade bombs, pistols and machine guns, have killed 101 persons, wounded 189 more.
