"Louis ALHONOTE, from Brooklyn, was mentally ill and had been told.
by a doctor that he was paranoic. Once in a meeting of the American group
when one 
of the other members disagreed with him, he dashed a glass cup
against 
the wall. On a second such occasion, he threw a glass cup at
Jake 
ROSEN, which caused Rosen to have three stitches in his chin and five
in his biceps.. This second incident was hushed up only with difficulty because
the Chinese 
authorities learned of it when a doctor was called."

western visitor, nothing impressed me more than the great power of this
country. Every person in New China is very modest but has great pride;
they are united, have self-respect, and respect each other. No one can
overlook China's advance; it is to be regretted that many people do not
have the opportunity to observe it personally. I like Shanghai very much,
because from the way Shanghai has changed I can really understand New
China. In the old Shanghai, except for the Chinese, everyone had special
privileges. However, everything has changed greatly. I am of the opinion
that from this, one can see the miracles which have begun in this great
country."

i
"Larry MOYER, age 32, was reporting on the trip for United Press.
O'Connell was Moyer's roommate in Moscow, and had learned of many of
Moyer's past experiences before O'Connell had indicated where he stood
politically. Moyer had been a pimp in Hawaii in 1941, working through the
photograph shops where a serviceman could get his picture taken with a hula
girl. He had also been afriend of Ada B. Jackson, whom O'Connell described
as "a well-known pink in New York"; Moyer had known her through American
Labor Party meetings there. O'Connell said that Moyer was crude, but by
no means stupid." (Foreign Service Dispatch, Hong Kong, number 289,

morally corrupt, and stated that only three members of the group, including

Embassy De-briefing of Shelby Tuckor, American Student Who
Visited Communist 
China
Hr. Shelby Tucker, an Amorican student at Oxford University,
visited 
Communist 
China in company with several other students
at the conclusion 
of the Hoscow Youth Festival. After his arrival
in 
Poking he was requested by the Chinono Communist authorities to
surrender his 
passport. Mr. Tuckor refused to do this and as a
result was deported 
from China into the Soviet Union.
to London on September 12 and during his discussions with the
lle 
returned
Embassy 
voluntoored to prepare a stateront of his impressions of
Communist China 
based on his notos. This statement is transmitted
as onclosure 
one.
Shortly after Mr. Tucker arrived in London ho was approached
by Life magazine for his story, which it is understood he sold to
the editors for a 
sum of $500.00. A copy of this story, which
was written by a 
Life staff writer based on Mr. Tucker's ronarks
is 
transmitted as enclosure two. The Embassy understands that
Life 
magazine is not now plaiming to publish this story.
There is transmitted as enclosure three a copy of Mr. Tucker's
affidavit regarding the use of his passport in Communist China.
This 
affidavit has already been transmitted to the Department under
separate 
cover in connection with Mr. Tucker's passport difficulties
but is included 
here for the Department's convenience.
It was the impression of the de-briefing officers that Mr.
Tucker was sincere in his desire to furnish information which
might be of use to the United States Government. Unfortunately,
however, 
Hr. Tucker seems to have vory little background in
Chinese 
affairs and his observations, both written and oral, appear
to contain 
little significant political or economic information.

anti-
Communist sentiments. O'Connell said that both of Steve's

him in
spite of his violent reaction against his upbringing. O'Connell said
