ously.

he went to the church in mid

American Residents
Leaving Hong Kong
By the Associoted Press

HONG KONG, Jan. 6.-The
consistent sabre-rattling of the
Peiping radio. plus the presence
across the border of $4,000 Chi
nese Red troops is beginning to
reduce the size of the American
community in this British colony.
AS conversations both behind
closed doors and at cocktail tables
alike echo the speculative refrain,
WAR by April" Americans are
slowly leaving for the United
States.
One American travel official
said:
The number of American de-
pendents leaving Hong Kong has
trebled, but that means trebled
over the say one-a-day rate our
passenger lists showed two weeks
ago. On the other hand, you can
bet this thing is going to step up
from now on"
There are fewer than 1000
Americans here.
An announcement yesterday
that the Chase National Bank of
New York has decided to close its
Hong Kong branch is likely to
prompt similar action by other
American concerns.
| The Chase statement empha-
sized that the closing was "in
order to avoid financing trade
with Communist China" and that
considerations of security or
safety" were not involved.

'Atrocity' Movies
By the Associated Press

LAKE SUCCESS, Jan. 6.-The
United Nations refused last night
to view a film allegedly showing
American atrocities against Ko-
rean civilians. In doing so it re-
versed an earlier decision to look
at the picture next Monday morn
ing.
Alexis Kyrou of Greece led the
fight against showing the film.
supported by Charles Malik of
Lebanon.
They argued in the 60-nation
Political Committee that since the
United Nations was engaged in
an reinforcement action" against
the North Koreans it had no busi-
ness to view what they called a
North Korean propaganda movie.
Russia's Jacob A. Malik had in
sisted the picture be shown and
the committee had agreed at first
in line with its policy of distrib-
uting all documents supported by
a member government. It had
listed the movie as a document.
The Soviet delegate said later
he would request the U. N. secre-
tariat to show the film despite
the committees action.
Asked for stills from the pic
ture for newspaper distribution,
he said:
II don't want to conduct prop
aganda in your country-just in
the United Nations"
He said no prints would be
made available.

Veteran Groups Deny
bill Hurts War Policies

The national legislative chair
men of Amvets. DAV and the
VFW got together today to deny
charges that proposed legislation
to provide $4,000 free life insur-
ance to persons who entered the
armed services since the start of
the Korean war would preclude
reinstatement of the regular Ma
tional Service Life Insurance pol
icies.
The proposed legislation has
been reintroduced in the House
by Chairman Rankin of the House
Veterans Committee. The free
insurance provided for under the
bill would end 80 days after the
policy holders discharge unless
he or she had been disabled. For
totally disabled veterans the in
surance would continue without
premiums; for partially disabled
veterans unable to obtain insur-
ance from private companies the
Government policies would be
available at reduced premiums.
| The bill has been criticized on
the grounds that veterans who re-
enter the service and drop their
regular NSLI policies would be
unable to reinState them.
This was denied by Clarence G
Ademy of American Veterans of
World War II, Francis M. Sullivan
of Disabled American Veterans
and Omar B. Ketchum of the Vet
Grams of Foreign Wars.
Insurance experts tell us that
veterans are protected in the new
bill" the three men said in joint
statement, "by a clause which
states: Nothing contained in this
act shall be construed as affecting
the rights under insurance con-
tracts issued on or prior to the
date of this enactment.
