is unknown. Then the 18 devained the dallar, Coe determined Chinese
policy regarding the devaluation. It is speculated that the Pecula's
Republic of C (290) will be taking a more active role in the world
money market and that Coe will be in charge of that operation. He
recently zas given a new home that is extremely large and beautiful.
It contains approximately 25 rooms with two large courtyards. The
interior is beautifully decorated with paintings and artifacts. The
house is comparable to the home of Mamme Sun Yat-sen, which would also
tend to indicate that Coe has become a person of prominence.

to Japan, but it took ten years before they could travel together. They
brought her mother back to Feixing with them and she is now living with
them. Huellar stated that there is continous pressure on his to 13-
crease the production of medical doctors, and he is finding it difficult
to find qualified students to enter the medical school; this means
qualified educationally and by Party standards. He feels a cut in cur

HATICHAL AFFAIRS
After Chiang Kai-shek betrayed the revolution in 1327. she firmly upheld Dr. Sun Yat-sen's
three great policies of alliance with Russia, co-operation with the Communist Party and
assistance to the peasants and workers. resolutely resigned all ner pests in the reac-
tionary Kuomintang government, openly exposed the reactionary features of Chiang Kai-shek
and waged an uncompromising struggle. During the war of resistance against Japanese
aggression, she actively responded to the call issued by the Chinese Communist Party
for (a) national united front against Japan and resolutely opposed Chiang Kai-shek's
reactionary policy of passive resistance against Japan and active opposition to the
Communist Party, and of false democracy and real dictatorship. She took an active
part in the anti-Japanese democratic movement. After the southern Anhwei incident of
January 1941, she sternly condemned Chiang Kai-shek's criminal plet to launch a civil war
and waged unremitting struggle to persist in resistance and cppcse capitulation, persist
in unity and oppose a split and persist in progress and oppose retrogression. During
the period of the liberation war, she was indignant at Chiang Kai-shek's reactionary
policy of national betrayal, dictatorship and civil war; she actively called cn and
organized the democratic ferees in the Kuchintang to oppose Chiang Kai-shek, organized
the Revolutionary Committee of the Kuomintang, responded to the May 1, 1948 call of
the Central Committee of the Chinese Communist Party for the convening of the new
Political Consultative Conference, and contributed to China's new demceratic revolution.
"After nation-wide liberation, Madame Ho Hsiang-ning became member of the Council of
the Central People's Goverment, vice-chairman of the National Committee of the Chinese
People's Political Consultative Conference, chairman of the Commission of Overseas
Chinese Affairs and chairman of the Union of Chinese Artists. She consistently supported
the leadersmip of the Chinese Communist Party and teck the socialist read. In the
struggle against foreign and domestic enemies, she stood firmly and showed a clear
distinction of whom to itre and when to hate. Particularly, in the struggle against the
rightists in 1957. she sternly condemned the anti-party and anti-sccialist fallacies of
the bourgetis rightists. She warmly praised the great sccialist motherland, often through
her poems and paintings. She paid great attention to affairs of state, supported the
Great Proletarian Cultural Revolution and worked energetically and consistently in
defence of the territorial integrity of the socialist Ectherland and for the liberation
Taiwan.
"Madame Ho Esiang-ning was a revolutionary comrade-in-arms of Dr. Sun Yat-sen, the
revolutionary companion of Mr. Liao Chung-kai, a elese friend of the Chinese Communist
“Party and an outstanding representative of the Kucmintang revolutionaries. She warmly
loved the netherland, the socialist system, the Chinese Communist Party and the great
leader Chairman Mao. Fadame Ho Hsiang-ning remained a revolutionary and a fighter all
her life.
☐
"We deeply mourn over the death of Vice-Chairman Ho Esiang-ning. Let us turn cur
sorrow into strength. and, under the leadership of the Chinese Communist Party, closely
follow the great leader Chairman Mao's revolutionary line and unite to win still
greater victories!"

Whatever tricks it may resort to, U.S. imperialism can never stop the people of Cuba and

"The national liberation novements of the peoples of Asia, Africa and Latin America are
continuing to surge forth vigorously. The revolutionary mass movements of the peoples
of Europe, North America and Oceania are developing in depth. Countries want inde-
pendence, nations want literation and the people want revolution--this has become an
irresistible historical trend.. The truculent practice of power politics and hegemony
by the superpowers has met with the strong resistance of an increasing number of small-
and medium countries; the superpowers are beset with internal and external difficulties
and are having a tougher and tougher time."
The Chinese vice premier said: "In external affairs, our country has firmly carried
out Chairman Mao's proletarian revolutionary line in foreign affairs and won great
victories. The exchange of friendly visits between our people and the people of other
countries, including the American people, is continuously expanding; and the number of
countries which have established diplomatic relations with our country is ever in-
ereasing. The vain scheme of the superpowers to blockade and isolate China has gone
totally bankrupt!"
He continued: "The domestic situation of our country is also excellent. Since the
Minth Congress and the Second Plenary Session of the Kinth Central Committee of our
party, the whole party, the whole arry and the whole ration, acting on our great leader
Chairman Mao's instruction 'carry out education in ideology and political line', have
unfolded a deep-going movement for criticizing revisionism and rectifying the style of
Work, further heightened their consciousness of class struggle, the struggle between
the two lines and of continuing the revolution under the dictatorship of the pro-
letariat, and have won great victories. The struggle-criticism-transformation campaign
of the Great Proletarian Cultural Revolution is continuing to develop in depth. We
have reaped bumper harvests for 10 years running. & new upsurge is emerging in indus-
trial production. Prices are stable and the market [is] flourishing. The revolutionary
spirit of our people is rising higher than ever. Our socialist motherland is prospering
and thriving with each passing day."
Vice Premier Li Hsien-nien wished the experts success in their work and good health.
In conclusion, he said: "Let us work together to better promote the rutual understand-
ing and militant friendship between the Chinese people and the people of other scun-
tires and support and assist the world revolution!"
The banquet proceeded in a warm and friendly atmosphere. Kosts and guests talked
'cordially and proposed toasts to the daily consolidation and development of the revolu-
tionary friendship and militant unity of the people of various countries.

L. DETAILS OF MEETING (continued)
1.
DEL:SCIO initiated this meeting with STCIOY/1 to discuss about the following
operational matters:-
2.
3.
a) Can he write to Dr. S.C. SUNG, the Taiwanese bio-chemist in Vancouver, B.C.,
and invite him down to Los Angeles for a visit?
b) What is the medical publication he has received which purports a travel of
American scientists to Mairand êhina?
1
c) Has he found out the nare of that 'Mrs. YANG' who first talked about the
travel plans of the American/Chinese engineers?
In reply, STCLOY/1 answered as follows:
a) He can write to Dr. S.C. SUNG, but he does not have a good reason to request
for his visit. Unless there is a medical conference or certain occasion of in-
terest to SUNG, STCLOY/1 feels he can not just supgest SUNG to make a trip to
see hin.
b) The medical publication which reports the interest of some American scientists
in the travel to Fainland China is 'Biomedical News' (copy of the news attached).
The II/5-71 issue of the news has published an article written by: Harry L. TEX
NANT entitled 'Scientists Pid For Travel to China', which names Dr. William Mc-
Elroy, director of the National Science Foundation, and Dr. Philip HANDLER, pre-
sident of the National Academy of Science, as ones who had suggested to make a
trip jointly to China. The article also promotes the cultural exchange of scien-
tists between Mainland China and U.S., and it credits members of two academic
committees for their efforts.
c) The name of that 'Mrs. YANG' is !Frs. Paul: YANG'. Paul YANG, husband of the
woman who first talked about the travel plan of a group of local Chinese engin-
eers to Mainland China, is an engineering staff of Southern California Edison
Company, Los Angeles, STCLOY/1 does not think that the travel plan as mentioned
by Mrs, YANG has materialized yet. Therefore, there is not much to be found out.
STCLCY/1 showed DEIASCIO two postcards which STGAZER/1 and STREEK/1 had sent him
from Spain. He undertood that STGAZER/1 had returned to Los Angeles a few days ago, and
he is going to meet STGAZER/1 to find out when is he going to Canada to bid for travel
permission to China. STCIOY/1 also agreed to contact Dr. ROSENFELD tocheck about their
movements as well as new activities of HAN Suyin. STCLOY/1 believed that HAN might play
an active role in the near future in the Chinese-American relation developments.
4.
DELASCIO sought STCLOY/1's assistance to look for a job for TS'AI Yin-Ying (201-
875838), wife of P'AN Har-Sung. STCICY/1 regretted that he could not help because he
does not know directly ary hospital laboratory in this area, but he estimated that she
should find a position of Lab Assistant to work under a licensed laboratory technician
of mical assistant in a physician's office if she persists in trying.

RECOMMENDATIONS:
Please make Xerox copies of Biomedical News and forward to HQ as members

has rislaid it. Then will discuss with him again about what reason he can

K. ACTIONS (continued)
On 30 June 1971, DELASCIO returned STCIOY/1 with the 'Biomedical
News'. At the same time, DELASCIO pave him the business address of
Dr. S.C. SUNG, and convinced STCLOY/1 that he could try to write fr.
SUNG, stating that STCIOY/1's office xes will soon rove to a new
address and that STCIOY/1 welcomes SUNG for a visit because SUNG will
surely enjoy the new tourist attractions in los Angeles such as 'The
Magic Mountain' and 'The Lion Safari'. STCICY/1 still doubted that
SUNG would spend so much money to make such a trip, but he promised
to write this letter inviting him.

scientific quarters seems to have spur-
red preparation for what could be an
influx into China of U. S. scientific
specialists of all types. Early indica-
tions point to the possibulity that an ex-
change of citizens between U. S. and
China might place the scientist in a
priority position over professions of
other areas, as well as the general
tourist himself.
Meantime, the overall rush was
ob. as by a flood of applications and
epped-up activity bere in inquies from U. S. professors to
China's new and only embassy in
North America at Ottawa, Canada.
The fast-moving breaks came after the
two U. S. scientists, Dr. Arthur W.
Galston, Yale University plant physio-
logist, and Dr. Tehan Signer, Massa-
chusetts Institute of Technology biol-
ogist, had received clearance. Another

Cancer Research Aid
by Faye Marley
A man who claims to know how
to cure cancer can have all the re-
search help he needs from the Na-
tional Cancer Institute.
Dr. Saul Schepartz, assistant scien-
tific director for drug research and
development, says the institute would
be glad to collaborate with Nobelist

in mid-April when the Federation of
American Societies for Experimental
Biology met in Chicago.
A last-minute change in speakers
was made at the General Session April

bera. Nobelist in physics in 1968, was

The 400 industrial and institutional
exhibits at McCormick Place featured
instruments applicable to research in
experimental biology.
Among the session ighlights were
28 symposiums of invited speakers and
45 intersociety meetings having to do
with current fundamental problems of
the diseases that research biologists in·
all fields are trying to conquer
..

biomedical, biological, and natural
scientists are eager to survey the scica-
tific scene. At the same time it was
pointed out that Dr. William McElroy,
director of the National Science Foun-
dation, and Dr. Philip Handler, presi-
dent of the National Academy of
Sciences, had suggested that they make
a trip jointly to China. This view was
part of the feeling in science quarters
in Washington that an exchange of
scientists between bo:h countries
would be very beneficial to the two
countries even though all sorts of un-
derstanding would have to take place.
This was the reasoning expressed by
President Nixon's science advisor, Dr.
Edward Davis, Jr.
Up to this point there has been
no official Government effort to
initiate exchanges and an early ap
praisal of this possibility indicates that
funds would have to be obtained to
finance any sizeable program. Never-
theless, those on the scene say these
could probably come from founda-
tions. It is even quite possible that
the White House would push for early
passage of an emergency request for
funds to see that such a scientific-
venture got underway. The present
Administration, which credits itself
with the break-through which led to
the ping pong matches, is certain to
push harder for a more forceful ex-
change now that the door is slightly
open, even if the Administration has
to finance an exchange from funds
which it might consider of an emergen-
cy nature.
The updating of papers on Chinese
advancements has been underway for
some time. The National Academy of
Sciences neenared, shout_300_nore.
for just such a possibility in 1968.
But the papers remained undisturbed
after it became known that an ex-
change was far in the future.
The Committee on Scholarly Com-
munications with the People's Repub-
lic of China, a highly placed group,
has been studying the activity in-
tensely. Headed by Dr. John Lindbeck
until his recent death, this committee
is perhaps the most knowledgeable of
any group as to just what is to be
found in China, if and when an ex-
change takes place. Committee mem
bers are Professor A. Doak Barnett,

Medical Progress
· Despite a 25-year period of no ex-
change of information between the U.S.
and China, a vast amount of detailed
data has been accumulated, all indi-
cating that China has again stabilized
itself after the turmoil of 1966. Since
1969 over 2,000 types of Chinese tra-
ditional and Western medicines have
MAAN TEHULEN is price by an average of
.30 per cent. Imports of scientific
equipment and chemicals such as
pharmaceuticals, fertilizers and syn-
thetic fibers have dropped because of
China's improving capability to pro-
duce its own instruments, machinery
and chemicals. This accounts in some
measure for the fact that the Depart-
ment of Commerce does not expect a
vast amount of medical goods and
equipment to be exported when and if
the Administration relaxes controls on
movement of non-strategic goods to
China
Western Influence
The Autumn Canton Trade Fair
recently gave some indication of the
trends in China. Among the changes
noted were the 30 per cent increase in
customers and the Chinese favoritism
for West European countries, especially
France and Italy, at Japan's expense.
Exhibits at the fair reflected numerous
technological advances over the pre-
vious year. Among the displays were
silicon-controlled automatic electronic
and punch-tape-controlled tools, meas-
uring and testing instruments, oscillo-
scopes, microscopes, and a wide range
of synthetic plastics, resins and such
basic drugs as antibiotics, sulphur
drugs and vitamins.
The revolution in Chinese education
has produced many schools such as
the Shantung University of Science
and Technology in Tsinan which
opened last October.
Chairman Mao's thinking along
medical lines is responsible for the
"cooperative medical service" intended
to bring medical treatment to all rural
areas. It has been reported that one-

This has prompted shifting of some
hospitals from large metropolitan cen-
ters to the country. The Hailung area,
it is reported, has set up a so-called

say, "they have converted rural homes
to allow for surgical operations."

part of this broad movement "red.
'medical counters" have been set up in
Canton's state-run drugstores to treat
:
minor injuries and illnesses and recur-
ring diseases by several methods in-
cluding acupuncture and injections.
To assist in the struggle against
disease a new type of diadynamic
current stimulator used for back
strains, sprains and neuralgia has
been developed. Transistors substitute
for electronic tubes and ordinary dry
batteries for alternating current, the
stimulator no larger than a book. A
transistor device with a freezing micro-
tome and a unit for cryotherapy has
been developed, lessening the time for
making thin sections for rapid biopsy
inspections and used in the treatment
of skin diseases and surgical pro-
acute hepatitis and streptomycin and
another antibiotic have been produced
from active carbon.
Ca the research front, there is cos
tinued interest in prevention of po
tion and re-utilization of waste prod
ucts. In Shanghai it is reported that
an electrolysis plant made six different

result of a 15-year birth control cam-

contraception, abortion, sterilization
and encouragement of the late mar-
riages, China is said to have almost
halved its earlier population growth
pace.
New developments in the pharma-

"A cryptic note hinting that the Russians obtained plans for two prevar
American superbattleships was read today at an explosive session of Alger HISS'
perjury trial.
"The Government also bared secret reports intended to show how a fantastic
Soviet underground web was woven deep into Washington in the early New Deal days to
influence United States Government Policy.
"Both disclosures came in the form of reports by Government officials
of talks with Whittaker CHAMBERS, chief accuser of HISS and former courier for a
Russian spy ring-

in 1939, read:

Hedda GOMPERTZ? --Z and FIELD supposed to have been both members of party.'

"The Z referred to an individual whose name was blacked out. Defense Attorney
Claude B. CROSS said he did not object to the document but thought use of the name
would affect the reputation of a dead man.
"MOLOTOV, former Russian Foreign Minister, now is Deputy Premier.
"A Hedda GUMPERZ MASSING is a former wife of Gerhart EISLER, who fled the
U.S. last spring after being identified as the No. 1 Communist in this country.
"Mrs. MASSING has been described as a 'cooperative witness' in post-var
American spy hunts.

"CHAMBERS was quoted as saying be entered 'the Washington picture" in
1935 and left it and the party at the end of 1937.
"The heads of the various underground groups in Washington who met with
PETERS,
the memos continued, 'were the HISSES, KRAMER (KRITTEZKY), Henry COLLINS

Hat PERLOW and Nat WITT.
**These men met regularly at special meetings, with the exception of Donald
HISS, who did not have an organization. They headed parallel organizations......
"The memos alleged there were other underground Commnist groups in
Washington at the time, "but this was the elite policy-making, top-level group."

cunning because its members helped to shape policy in their departments.'

"In testimony after the memos were read, CHAMBERS said sailors or stevards
of the North German Lloyd Line usually took Government secrets to Europe for the
ring."
