speaking CHINA REDS trading ong Is out it had bad a familiar ring you cant do business with the chinese communists remember you cant do business with hitler that not certainly was true and according to officials best wormed informed on the tha chinese situation it was equally true of tho the chinese reds SLOWLY BUT SURELY american businessmen and officials are finding out tho the truth of the statement in ever increasing numbers they ore are pulling out of the tha great centers in n china and with them goes in inevitably evit ably the prospect for any important trade agreements between tho the united states and communist china yet there was an annoying paradox in the situation for the chinese friends of the kremlin for the fact was that the theres reds would have to turn to the united states it if they were to obtain many things they need to fill the gaping holes in chinas cainas distraught economy THE american state department and other US officials are incensed at the way american officials and private citizens have been treated by the communists in china they apparently have come to the conclusion that nothing can be accomplished by maintaining large consulate staffs in cities where tho the reds have taken over weeks of trying to come to some som terms with the communists show nothing but failure to tho the initiate this came as a surprise to US policy makers they had expected that as the tha chinese communists poured into shanghai and other coastal points they would take a uve and let live attitude toward the americans they also figured that the communists would have to do business with the US inasmuch as they would have to look to the west rather than russia for imports to meet chinas cainas economic needs but somehow or other it work out that way

nurse too it will save millions of dollars in the cost of treatment all ali this is declared possible because of a decision by public health and r medical authorities cutting the isolation period for early polio to one week longer longar only it the fever lasts longer some states have been isolating polio patients for two weeks some even for three or four but the average has been two weeks tho the one week recommendation made by 20 medical authorities is part of a new gulde guide for health officers of all the tha states the guide Is being sent to local health au authorities thorl hospitals and doctors by the various state health officers POLIO patients are kept isolated when they are first ill to prevent spread of the disease but medical studies have concluded that the disease Is communicable only during tho the first three or four days before symptoms appear and for two or three days afterward so for safety isolation the experts said Is necessary for only oaly a week or as
