Plight of Refugees
From China War Zone
Appears Desperate
By Keyes Beech
Portlgn Corrotpondont of Tho Star and
tha Chicago Doily N»w«
PEIPING. China, Dec. 19.—Th<
aging sister-in-law was sitting or
the ground unable to rise. The niecf
was propped against a building wit!
her three children around her, theii
eyes hungry, their cheeks mottlec
by frostbite. The man looked 60
though actually only 42.
This was Chao Ching-yuen anc
his family. Just another typica
group of refugees from Communist
captured areas now streaming lnt<
nationalist territory in the wake o:
withdrawing government troops
These five started 33 days ag<
from the railroad city of Shihchia
chung to the south, they tell me
They walked the whole 200 miles
wading rivers as thin ice broki
under their feet, sleeping in snow
■ covered fields warmed only by thf
clothes on their backs and begglni
for food.
When I came on them they wen
waiting outside a refugee registra'
tion office in subfreezing tempera
ture to get a ration of precious flou
to sell to buy food.
Some of these refugees from wTar
tonj areas come here from as fa:
away as Outer Mongolia. Almos
without exception they are land
lords, merchants, or govemmen
workers, with reason to fear deatl
at Communist hands.
Ten camps housing more thai
2,000 of them have sprung up out
side this city whose governmen
official^ are making a really con
scientious effort to cope with thi
problem.
But for each of those who havi
food and shelter, many more wil
starve or freeze to death befor
winter is over.
The war year 1943 found t,h
United States using about six time
as much electric power as it usei
in 1918.
liquor license Revocation
Upheld by District Heads
The Commissioners yesterday up
held an Alcoholic Beverage Board
revocation of the retail Class B
liquor license of Julius and Leon
Sack, owners of the People’s Food
Store, 4709 Wisconsin avenue NW.
The Sacks, both veterans of World
War II, lost their license under an
ABC Board ruling on December 2
for alleged irregularities in their
1946 license application involving a
third owner as a "silent- partner.”
/
District law requires that the names
of all owners be listed in applica
tions for liquor licenses.
Attorney r. Joseph Donohue, rep
resenting the broth«s, had asked
the city heads to set aside the re
vocation on the ground any right to
complain about an irregularity con
cerning the 1946 application expired
when the license did. The Sacks
had applied for and had received
their 1947 license, and it was this
license which the ABC Board re
voked.

jordan, is built among the ruins of
an ancient city called Philadelphia.
