‘Reds’ Key City

COMMUNIST HEADQUARTERS, Yenan, Dec. 5.— Yenan of the cliffside caves where the threads of China's scattered Communist armies are gathered, is the world's most inaccessible key city. Brown, arid and almost invisible against its deforested ancient mountains, Ye~- : nan lies close to where China meets inner Mongolia. No railroad and only a single, lonely highway reaches Yenan. Approaching it by air is like ‘searching for a lost Indian pueblo in Arizona by flying over Grand Canyon country. . Lifting its ban on foreign correspondents visiting Communist held China, the nationalist government finally gave permission to four of them—three American and one French--to fly to Yenan. “With the year-old ban lifted and Nationalist cen-

sorship also dropped, it is at long last possible.

though for how long no one knows—for neutral qbservers to see both sides of the civil war.

You reach Yenan by flying up another canyon with its .walls almost touching your wingtips, banking sharply right at’ the last moment, entering an adJacent canyon and letting down straight into the rays of the setting sun. » r

The contrast between thif jempty field and the government runways to the south, crowded with American-supplied fighters, bombers and transports, is very marked. - As the dark green plane settles into the canyon’s shadows, 100 blueclad, heavily padded soldiers, both men and women, pour from the caves and come running to the field. Their faces are flat and solemn and their cheeks rosy. Yenan's air is sharp and dry. Its daylight hours are short, for the little city also lies at the bottom of the canyon. By 5:30 p. m. its leaders are working by candlelight and starlight. . :

Harold 'G. Bowen, chief of the Office of Research and Inventions of the American Society of Mechanical Engineers. “The harnessing of atgmic energy is a vital subject and of which of late we have heard a great deal,” Adm. Bowen said. “If the development of nuclear technology follows the usual course of development, its first application will probably prove to be toe expensive for immediate commercial use, but not too expensive for imgediate naval use,

" ” " “ARCHITECTURE” and design of a museum for children are important, and the Indianapolis museum meets the children’s needs exceptionally well. Objects are placed on the child's eye-level, and the exhibits are comprehensible to young visitors, . The labels and posters are for children, that they may comprehend the meaning of the exhibits. The objects and labels are well spaced—the color and appeal for the children is fascinating. The museum is divided into three branches: the and local history, other nationalities and countries, and natural history.
