tions to protect the lives of our
diplomatic officials under similar
circumstances In the future?" the
five Republicans asked.
IF this method was the only
effective one the State Depart
ment could think of in the Ward
case. the natural question is why
didn't the department invoke it
in the first place instead Of i'm
periling the life of one of its
trusted diplomatic officers for all
these months?"
Five Released From Jail.
Mr.. Ward and four Consulate
employees were released from jail
this week after being given sus-
pended sentences by Communist
court on charges of beating q
Chinese employe during a dis
agreement about wages. They
had been under arrest since Octo-
ber "a.
After their arrest. the State
Department tried unsuccessfully
to get an official protest into the
hands of Chinese Communist of1i-
cials. Finally, Mr.. Acheson sent
the foreign ministers Of 80 coun-
tries an unprecedented appeal. ..
He asked them to express to
the highest Chinese authorities
in Communicated Peiping 1.-THE
concern which your government
undoubtedly feels" over Mr.. Wards
treatment.
At the time, Senators Ives, Re-
publican, of New York and
Bridges, Republican, of New
Hampshire approved the maneu-
yer, although Senator Bridges said
it wouldn't have been necessary
except for American fumbling
and bungling in China"
The five House Republicans
agreed with the latter view, but
blasted Mr.. Acheson's action.
1.-THE fact that the State Depart
ment could not protect the life o1
one of its own officials without
appealing for help to 80 other
nations. including Switzerland
Panama. Cuba, Siam and the
Soviet Union and Iron Curtain
countries. Is, one Of the most
Ehumiliating chapters in American

Aid Reported Sent.
A dispatch from Hong Kong

for Shanghai today to try to effect
the removal of Mr.. Ward from
Communist China.
The State Department said
however, that 1t had no knowl-
edge of the departure of any Of
fetal from Hong Kong for the
purpose Of meeting Mr.. Ward
The State Department reported
yesterday that Consul General O.
Edmund Club at Peiping had
spoken to Mr.. Ward over the tele-
phone, but there was still no indi-
cation whether he would have
transportation out OF Mukden
soon.
The Communist court ordered
the consulate personnel to leave
the city, which led officials here
to believe the Chinese would even
tually find transportation for Mr..
Ward and the others-something
they had been seeking vainly long

Writing in the Journal of the
American Medical Association Dr.
Mohs says that chemosurgerv is
especially valuable for highly ma
ignant or highly invasive LESSONS
which fail to respond to other
treatment DR.. Mohs pioneered the
development of chemosurgery.
The technique is used on the face
lip, nose, ear, limbs, and other ex.
ternal parts of the body except
some body openings.
Chemosurgery is unprecedented
ly successful against different types
of skin cancers and there is prac-
tically no mortality rate from the
operation.
Physicians using chemosurgery
can make sure that cancers are
entirely removed because the tech.
nioue is controlled microscopically.
the article points out. This micro
scopic control makes it possible TO
remove each of the deeply per-
meating branches, which are char
acteristic of some skin cancers.
without mutiliating surrounding
normal tissue to any significant ex-

technique is so accurate, DR.. Mohs
says, that the margin of overre-

Small cancers may be treated
chemosurgically wi h out giving
medicine to control pain. Relief of
pain may be necessary in treating

Development of Puerto Rico
Puerto Rico has some traditional
old industries, largely based on
agriculture and including produc.
ton of sugar, molasses, rum and |
commercial alcohol. There is also
the Puerto Rican fne-needlework
industry, which ranks among the
best in the world. Although the
available labor is largely unskilled
in industrial operations. the estab
lished industries have shown that
Puerto Ricans can be trained to a
high degree of mechanical and
manual skill Various aids in train
ing labor are available, among
them a new vocational school for
1000 students. Wages, though high
er than elsewhere in the Caribbean
because of both federal and insular
minimum wage rates,
are considerably lower than in the
States. Because Puerto Rico is in
side the U. S. tariff wall the Island
can compete in U. S. trade with the
lower wages of foreign
producers
