PEIPING, July 21--Two American
women were at odds with the JAP
aneSe Embassy today on whether
| Japanese soldiers kicked them or
merely pushed them on their way"
A Japanese Embassy spokesman de-
clared an investigation showed jap
anese sentries did not use violence in
forcing the women to leave the vlcin-
ity of the Embassy yesterday.
He said the United States Embassy
presented its view OF the situation
this morning, but made no protest.
The women, Mrs Helen R. Jones
of Detroit and Miss Carol Iathrop
OF Washington. D. c.. told United
States officials the guards kicked and
showed them.
Japanese sources, however. said the
lieutenant in charge of the japanese
Embassy guard said one of the women
slipped ON wet pavement and fell.
The lieutenant's view was that the
women crossed the street and tried
to look inside sandbag barricades. He
stated that when sentries asked them
to leave they refused and the sentries
merely pushed them on their wav,
doing no more than their duty in
protecting Japanese military secrets"
When she heard the japanese ver-
sion OF the incident, Mrs. Jones de-
clared
Their statement that no violence
was used depends entirely on a defini-
ton OF violence. If being kicked and
showed as We were isn't violence. then
Id hate to meet the real article"
She said the assertion that she or
he1 companion had slipped on wet
pavement was false.
1T was my impression that the
street was perfectly dry Mrs. Jones
said. The minute we saw the sentries
rise up and heard their war whoop we
were terrified. Then they chased us.
"A wave of the hand would have
sent us on our way only too gladly.
But I wish the whole thing would blow
over and be forgotten"
