Page Sixteen DETROIT JEWISH CHRONICLE and The Legal Chronicle If You Think You Have Money Troubles Read This Tale of Woe HQ. ARMY AIR FORCES. 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. Women's Teas Held This Week • $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.
