SHANGHAI, CHINA. — S/Sgt.
Sanford Jack Hirshfield, of De-
troit, Mich., seems to be having
money troubles. The banknotes
piled up before him amount to
$200,000 in Chinese currency, or
roughly $100 in American money.
What bothers the sergeant is al' ,
story behind this money.
While in Shanghai with the
Army Air Forces Liaison Team,
Sgt. Hirshfield took advantage of
an I & E Tour and went up to
Peiping, China's ancient capital,
on leave. Because he planned to
get a few souvenirs for the folks
at home, he exchanged U.S. $200
over a Shanghai bank-ocunter at
the rate of C.N. $1390 to U.S. $1.
He felt rich as his pockets bulg-
ed with the bulk and weight of
C.N. $278,000.
In Peiping, where palaces and
temples hundreds of years old
abound at every turn, Sgt. Hirsh•
field found there was little he
could buy. So he only spent C.N.
Germans Barred from
Further Raids on Jews
kContlnued from page 11
Eyewitnesses related that at
least twelve shots were fired and
that at least ten dogs had been
used. Adelle Greenberg, an UN-
RRA worker, said that when she
saw the Germans in uniforms
training their guns on the Jews
"they looked just like pictures we
had seen of Hitler's soldiers."
Other UNRRA workers said that
the Germans had plundered Jew-
ish homes while conducting the
search.
Stuttgart Police Chief Karl We-
ber, crime commissioner of the
city before 1933, said that in ten
to fifteen minutes before the fight-
ing began, black market caches
of food and clothing were un-
covered in camp.
According to Chief Weber's ac-
count of the raid, the displaced
persons began the trouble by re-
sisting police and attacking them
with fists and sticks.
The chief, who said he had
been dismissed as crime commis-
sioner by the Nazis and had op-
erated a private detective agency
in Stuttgart during their reign,
was concerned with the "loss of
prestige" to his police force be-
cause American reinforcements,
rushed to the scene of fighting,
had ordered the Germans out of
camp before the raid was com-
pleted.

$78,000, or U.S. $56. Back in Shang-
hai, where American money is
preferred to any other currency
in spite of myriad varieties on the
market, the sergeant had the
shock of his life.
In the short while he had been
away Chinese national currency
had cheapened considerably, and
one American dollar was now
worth C.N. $2,200. In other words.
although he had spent only U.S.
$56 out of his original U.S. $200,
the C.N. $200,000 he had left 'would
bring him over the exchange coun-
ter only U.S. $91 — meaning a loss
of U.S. $53, or almost as much
as he had spent on his Peiping
tour.
As the Shanghai money market
fluctuates from day to day, Ser-
geant Hirshfield spends his time
contemplating the beauty of Chi-
na's banknote design, and hoping
that a sudden drop in the ex-
change will enable him to avoid
any loss. He refuses — after the
manner of most sergeants — to
consider the other possibility. And
he's been in China long enough to
know that anything may happen.
and usually does.

overseas in August, 1945, His tour
of duty carried him through India
to China over "The Hump." He
was assigned to the AAF Liaison
Team when the Hq. AAF moved
to Shanghai in October, 1945. He
said: "It will be swell getting
home, but I'll miss the experiences
of really knowing Shanghai."
