CHINESE REDS ’MOF UP' LAST Or DEFENDERS SHANGHAI, May 26. (UP) ( . .in.:.list forces launched a ui a-tack today to wipe out i,:i 111 it 300 Nationalist troops i.mg one small island of gov- • i.,.unt resistance in the heart to:.;munist-occupied Shang-i-ai. '! lie attack was made by a .m l Communist assault unit ,vhii li stormed across Garden oii.lgc m the billion-dollar Bund j i began to surround the last Nationalist holdouts on the north i d: of Soochow creek. Tin Nationalist bridgehead at i -. d :i Bridge was broken an , d lenders wiped out. Com- • ni.-t troops then began to , t in on other diehard Nationc lists barricaded in Broadway ; a.islon, an apartment hotel. (! other buildings on the north bank. Reports from Yangtzepo ght miles north of downtowi .--hanghai. said C o m m u nisi Loops were moving into that or. in strength and wiping out :!i last Nationalist straggler v.ith rifle fire. Nationalist stragglers li groups of two and three were amit g the streets seeking civ:tian clothing for a disguise, these reports said. Even farther north, retreating Nationalists set fire to gasoUn an 1 ammunition supplies a Klangwan Airfield. Huge fires dared crimson in the skies las! r. ght and heavy explosions could i) - heard early today. Telephone reports from the Woosung forts, 16 miles north at the mouth of the Whangpoo, said th<‘ Nationalists were embarking on ships for their escape by sea. These reports said the Nationalist embarkation was expected to b completed by tonight. The last ditch defense of Nat finalist suicide squads at S lochow creek was believed intended to cover the embarkation by preventing the Communistf:om pursuing the Nationalist) along the main highways north from downtown Shanghai. Th ■ Nationalists origBiakfcy \v -re holding three bridges in a tvo-sqnarc-nule area, supports by n few armored cars that reamed about to repel attacks fro.n any direction. The defense line was smashed during the afternoon after spotac’.ic and at times hitter exchanges of small arms and machinegun file. One Chinese child was killed, another wounded and a French national seriously hit by stray bullets during the fighting. Communist and Nationalist casualties were not known. Man Held In Iteuther Shooting DETROIT, May 26 -(UP) Charles Barabash, 47, of suburban Dearborn, as triking Ford Motor Company employe, was held for questioning today about the attempted assassination of Victor Reuther, A CIO United Auto Workers official. Barabash was arrested by police after a tipster reported hearing him babbling drunkenly in a far room about "Reuther being shot” more than 24 hours before t. vln shotgun blasts were fired at the union official. Police said he wes too drunk to be questioned immediately. While police squads tried to lift the drunken for from Baraba. ih’a past 48 hours, other investigators said they would look into charges of "international implications" in the shooting. Other teams of the 40 detectives assigned solely to the can ■ worked on possibilities that a "crackpot" or a person having i personal grudge against tno Reuthed family fired the nearfatal shots. Reuther, educational director of the union and brother of UAVV President Walter Reuther, wn, reported "resting comfortably” at Henry Ford hospital. DDoctors removed his right eye a a three-hour operation jesterday as a result of the blast which felled him in the living roan of his home as he wa li ending a newspaper near mi,I]nght Tuesday. Uabor and civic Iced;- a p Ut , blame squarely in the laps 0 f Communists, but the Michigan Communiat party denounced the -hooting as a “despicable and depraved act" by 'cowardly enchiles of organized labor.”

_§3 From where I sit

I get a kirk out of buying stuff down at the hardware store. And I always ask for a little advice from one of the two brothers who run it, because I know beforehand exactly

what the answer will be.

Like when I needed a new garden hose. “Henry,” I says, “how about this new plastic hose—is it really as good as rubber? ” “Well,” he says, “I'm inclined to think it

is—but you’d better ask Tom.”

I found Tom in back and asks him the s«me question. “Well,” says Tom, “in my opinion it is—
