Lights and water, cut off during Saturday, were partly restored. Demolitions by the retreating nationalists were spectacular but spotty. Americans Ordered To Leave Shanghai SHANGHAI, April The nationalist garrison vowed today to defend Shanghai from the Communists, what may." As result, U. Consul-General John Cabot urgently warned American citizens they had better get out while they still could. This great city of more than 000 population lies behind a flimsy, newly-built wooden fence, 35 miles long, studded with mud pillboxes.
At last count, there were 2479 Americans in Shanghai. Most of them had elected to stay long ago when previous evacuations were carried out. With the Communists no more than 100 miles up the Yangtze River west of Shanghai and on the same (south) side, the city's immediate fate was uncertain but ominous. It was strangely empty of troops. "The American consul-general issued two warnings to American nationals suggesting they leave Shanghai unless they have compelling reasons to remain," Cabot's statement said.
"He assumes that all those who are not prepared to face the dangers of remaining in a war area have already left. "Nevertheless it (the consulate) is bringing the garrison commander's warning to their attention. "He wishes, moreover, to point out that recent incidents on the Yangtze clearly show that American nationals remaining in Shanghai cannot count on the safety through emergency evacuation if the situation in Shanghai should become SO hazardous as to make it inadvisable to stay." U. S. Navy headquarters here had announced a earlier in the day that it had enough ships to evacuate all American nationals and a considerable number of other foreigners.
Meanwhile, 10 American missionaries at Chinkiang, 45 miles east Nanking, were reported safe after the city fell to the Reds. British May Use Force To Free Ship SHANGHAI, April 23-(AP)-The British consul general tonight strongly implied that force would be used if necessary to rescue the sloop Amethyst and its 60 remaining personnel from Chinese Communist trap in the Yangtze River. The Communist radio in Peiping meanwhile charged that the four British ships shot up by the Reds since Wednesday were fired upon because they joined the Nationalists in the war. A British foreign office spokesman in London indignantly denied this, stating the Amethyst and the others which vainly tried to rescue her "only fired in self-defense and did not fire until fired upon." This spokesman also said one of the British ships, the cruiser London, was fired on by Nationalists as well as Communist artillery. He did not elaborate on this.
British sources in Shanghai previously had denied rumors of Nationalist firing. The death toll aboard the four British ships was officially put today at 43, instead of the previous 44. More than 80 British were wounded, some of them critically. Communists said they themselves suffered 252 casualties and damage to their positions.

Philip Cabrera, who was drowned when he jumped off the bridge while fishing to avoid being hit by an automobile Friday Photo). Writer Describes The Fall Of Nanking To Communists Chang Kuo-sin, United Press buneau manager in Nanking, describes in the following dispatch the fall of a -Nanking.
Chang describes the fateful hours between the flight Chinese officials and the arrival of the Communists. By CHANG KUO-SIN NANKING, China, April reigned in this city of almost 2,000,000 today. No authority existed to check vast mobs looting government offices, food warehouses, business houses. There was no protection for wayfarers in the streets. At dawn, the police and remnants of the government army charged with the defense of this Nationalist capital of China, abandoned the city.
At 7 A. M. tomorrow the Communists were scheduled to cross the Yangtze and take over. Civic leaders rowed to welcome them. Among the first places to be looted were the presidential offices and the residence of Acting President Li Tsung-jen, where the housekeeper helped the looters carry off their spoils so she could have some peace.
Americans Safe The city's American population of 259 and other foreign nationals were believed safe. Other compounds were a shambles. To the people of Nanking the events appeared to have no political significance-they displayed no more enthusiasm for the Communists than they had for the government. Here is a chronological account of developments today: Midnight to 4 A. M.
Saturday: Nanking's police and rearguard units of the 45th Army covering the Nationalist retreat began a general withdrawal. The soldiers were tired and haggard from defeat but were maintaining discipline and order. The sound of firing across the river died down except for the occasional sharp crack of a rifle, or the chatter of a lone machinegun. 5 A. Acting President Li jen and Premier Ho King left the airport dawn on last government plane from Nanking.
Looting Begins 6 A. Mobs began looting the presidential offices and garrison headquarters and some Communists began crossing the river to the undefended city. No police were on duty. All police stations were abandoned and unattended. It was a field day for the poor.
Waves of looters swarmed into food shops, stealing the hoarded rice and flour. Fights broke out among the looters over their spoils. 8 A. I saw men and women, girls and boys carrying their loot through the streets-furniture, shoes, rice, flour- -with broad smiles on their faces. They asked each other: "Where A SAFECRACKERS ERS FAIL IN TRY ON FT.
WALTON BANK FORT WALTON, April 23-(AP)Safecrackers battered in vain at a vault containing $67,000 in the Bank of Fort Walton early today. They scarred up the sides of the vault and jammed its lock, but were never able to force their way into it. A Pensacola locksmith worked two hours with an acetylene torch, hammer and chisel before opening the vault door this afternoon. When he finally slipped the lock tumblers and opened the door, Nathan Taylor, bank vice president, stepped into the vault and inspected its contents. Then he turned to the tensely watching group of bank officials and peace officers outside.
"Well, gentlemen," he said, "we can all rest easy." Taylor discovered the safecracking attempt when he came to the bank this morning, and called Constable Oscar Bangston. FBI agents from Pensacola also joined in the investigation. The burglars entered the bank building through a rear window, the constable said. An electric clock was stopped at 1:44 A. M.
(CST). Taylor placed damage to vault at about $1000. He said the bank was insured against theft. VFW Post Installs WINTER HAVEN, April 23-(Special)-Dan O.

CIO Shakes Off Reds, Seeks To Build Up Political Strength (Continued from Page 1) of Communist-branded leaders still hold sway, one in Miami another in the interior citrus meland There have been several incidents recently, Tampa, in which rank and file members have driven onion Red agitators away by the simple expedient of beating them up in a dark alley, with the blessing of their leaders. To Remove Red Taint Some of the union's top officials in the state boast that within a short time the last vestige of the Communist stain will have been removed.
Within the last several weeks, particularly during the Easter recess of Congress ending tomorrow, the CIO has put in intensive licks. in their battle to knock out the Taft-Hartley law, which rules out closed shops and curbs the use of the strike weapon. In its drive to organize the state, the closed shop and the strike are two weapons most vital to it, probably more so than they are to the more solidly established AFL. CIO leaders swarmed on Florida Congressmen and Senators when they came home for a brief spell away from Washington and turned on their best personal persuasive powers to win them away from Taft-Hartley and get their support for the federal Thomas-Lesinski bill to replace it. These feverish personal contacts with Congressmen had been preceded by months-long pleas by telephone, telegram and letters pouring into Washington, and are being followed up by more of the same, Most factory owners, industrialists and employers over the state have been satisfied to register their opposition by letter or telegram to any meddling with the Taft-Hartley law.
Man Behind Drive The man behind the all-out CIO drive on all fronts in the state is Charles L. Cowl, state director, who operates from an office in the DeSoto Hotel, and who has been popping up in many places, and putting up a good front for his union. He has built up a reputation as a tough opponent of Communism, and is said to be pushing this fight in every cranny of CIO in the state. Cowl also has been seeking to make much political hay while the sun shines. Recently he was the guest of Governor Warren at his party in Tampa for big league ball clubs training in the state.
He was only labor leader present, and the word is he was the only one invited. Even his AFL rivals will admit Cowl has a "knack insinuating himself into places" where it would do the most for CIO prestige for him to be seen. Cowl just recently returned to Tampa after a junket over the state in which he addressed assemblies at colleges and schools. Calls on Cooper Not long ago, he paid a call on Richard (Dick) Cooper, and the word is he is trying hard to sell Cooper on the idea running next time against A. S.
Herlong, of Leesburg; the incumbent, for Congressman from the Fifth District, and to boom his candidacy for that post. Cooper is believed still toying with the notion of taking another fling at the governorship and may stick to his law practice in Orlando. How much success Cowl had with him for the Fifth District candidacy is not known. This is but a sample of the political licks the CIO is attempting to get in. Cowl tipped his hand to some of CIO Hillsborough legislative ambitions in a tailk last week before the Tampa Junior Chamber of Commerce.
Tampa political circles say CIO overtures were made toward candidates for the city board of representatives in the 1947 elections, and that the union is now seeking to line up candidates for the 1951 city elections. The same thing is going on over the state at the city and county level as well as state and Congressional levels. $3 POKER HAND BRINGS ON POLK NEGRO MURDER BARTOW, --An argument over poker hand early April, today resulted in the death of Corbitt Cooper, Winter Haven Negro, and the arrest of Peter Simmons, also a Winter Haven Negro, on a charge of murder. Deputy Ben Howell said that Simmons held a full house and Cooper a straight, and that the two men had argued over which hand won the pot. Howell said that Simmons got a butcher knife and stabbed Cooper in the neck and chest.
HOLDS ALLEGED BAD CHECK EXPERT BRADENTON, April man identified from police circulars as Charles Ross White, 49, who said he was from Melbourne, was arrested near Punta Gorda today for passing a worthless check, said Lieut. Matt G. Britt of the highway patrol. Deputy Sheriff Paul Ford, of Manatee County estimated White had bilked small businessmen out of 000 by passing worthless checks in the past two years. Ford said White had been operating in Florida, Georgia and Alabama for several years.
He followed a circuitous route and visited the same town within a week. Ford said he had passed about 10 worthless checks in Bradenton during the time he had been operating. White always wrote his spurious checks for the same amounts--either $48 or fictitious business firms of Tampa or Lakeland. Each check bore a notation that the funds was for repair or delivery of machinery. He added "secretary" or "treasurer" to the name signed.
His victim of today telephoned the Tampa bank on which the check was drawn and learned there was no funds on deposit in the name signed to the check. Britt was notified immediately and overtook the check passer a short distance from town. White made no resistance, said Lieutenant Britt. When asked if he had a gun, Britt quoted White as saying "I don't need a gun; I make my money by using my head." FUNERAL NOTICES CASNER. WILLIAM services for William V.

Dr. Juarez said the victim's wife had refused to grant permission for an autopsy and had emptied contents of a DDT solution which her husband was using on his dog when he was stricken.
This left no evidence for analysis. According to Dr. Juarez, Saavedra became ill Tuesday night while applying a 10 per cent DDT solution on his dog to kill fleas. Emerging from his bathroom, where he was defleaing the dog by rubbing on the solution with his hands, Saavedra fell unconscious and was rushed to a hospital. A day later, Dr.
