Jap Influence In Peiping Life Now Wiped Out
You
By SPENCER MOOSA
7OU can buy gay silk kimonos at street stalls In Peiping, and you see buildings of un- mistakable Japanese design. Otherwise, two and a half years have wiped out almost every ovidence of the eight-year Japanese occupation of this former capital of China.
It is therefore a surprise to come across a home in Peiping East city with the inscription. "Japan is a rotten little country" chalked on the door, and to find that it is occupied by a' Japanese family, one of many in this section.
About 700 Japanese still live in Peiping, but they have made themselves inconspicuous by wearing Chinese or Western clothes..
About 200 are technicians, such as electrical, railroad and radio engineers, with the same jobs they had during the Japanese occupation.

Some Chinese say the public utilities would. have collapsed without them.
These technicians will not return to Japan until they have trained Chinese to replace them.
The remaining 600 consist of their wives and children, together with a sprinkling of doctors, Buddhist priests, and stray people who somehow did not make the last repatriation ship. Life is not easy for most of them, although they are rarely molested.
The technicians' salaries, like those of their Chinese col- leagues, are paid by the Chinese Government and have not kept up with increases in the cost of living.
