Foreigners Left Alone
CITY QUIET & NORMAL
Discipline Among Troops Good
Shanghai, Mar. 9.-Telephone reports received here from Peiping-believed to be the first from there since the Chinese Communists clamped a ban on the foreign press on February 6-said today that most of the Com- munist troops have left Peiping and conditions in North China are quiet and normal.
The reports said that foreigners are being treated impersonally with no trouble. Prices are declining and the discipline among the troops and the populace is good, the reports added. They said that foreign newsmen have not been able to gather or file news since the ban was imposed and some desire to leave Peiping as soon as they can obtain the pro- mised visus and outgoing air passage.
