SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. 4. -
One hundred five sick and
wounded American war prisoners
came home today to quiet, but
emotion packed, welcome after
a restful voyage from Korea
aboard the hospital ship U. S. S.
Haven.
Ten litter patients, most of
them suffering tuberculosis con-

the gangplank of the cleaning
white ship.
The Haven docked at Fort Ma
son at 8 am. I'll am, EDIT
after standing at anchor in San
Francisco Bay overnight. 1t was
the third American repatriation
ship from Korea in less than two
weeks. A fourth, the Marine Ad-
der, is due to dock tomorrow with
367 former prisoners.
Today'S welcoming throng of
some 200 was comparatively
small, apparently because friends
and relatives had been advised to
meet the prisoners at the Army's
Letterman General Hospital.
Although sick and wounded.
most of the repatriates appeared
in good spirits. Some were thin.
Aboard the Haven they were
given special diets and vitamins

Also coming home on the
Haven were 371 other American
sick and wounded servicemen.
The ship crossed the bay later in

One-fourth of 1,496 elderly
District motorists re-examined
this year for drivers licenses
failed to pass vision tests and
were denied license renewal, at
least until they had obtained
glasses, Traffic Director George
E. Keneipp disclosed today.
The tests are required on
license renewal for all motorists
over 65. Seventy-seven of the
1,496 persons failed to pass
written driver tests.
Mr.. Keneipp also disclosed
that 297 licenses were suspended
or revoked between last April /,
when the city's new point system
for traffic offenses went into
effect. and July 81.
These figures were cited in a
report urging area-wide moves
to standardize-and in most
cases toughen-motor vehicle
licensing rules in the District.

discrepancies now exist.
The report was made by the
Committee on Driver Licensing
and Inspection of the Governors
and Commissioners Conference
on Metropolitan Washington
Traffic Problems. The commit
tee, headed by Mr.. Keneipp, will
present its findings to the con-
ference'S second annual session
September 16 at the United
States Chamber of Commerce.
The group called particularly
for crackdoWnS on serious traf-
fic offenders Two recommended
tions urge mandatory jail SEN
tences for motorists who drive
after their licenses are suspended
and mandatory revocation after
certain serious offenses.
Mr. Keneipp cited the Districts
traffic -offense point system and
the re-examination of elderly
drivers as improvements made in
the city during the last year.
The 1896 elderly drivers were
re-checked as their licenses ex-
pired between last January IA
and July 81. officials said many
of the 357 who failed vision tests
acquired permits after getting
proper glasses
Since the point system started
on April l, Mr.. Keneipp said.
81, 1875 reports of traffic violations
were checked. AS a result, 6,742
warning letters were issued and
SIG drivers were called in for
conferences.
OF the persons who lost per-
mits, 285 were men and only II
women. Mr.. Keneipp said IS of
the 297 persons requested hear
ings on their offenSes, and only
four requested review by his
office.
Under the new system, points
are charged against motorists
for specific offenses. Eight
points results in suspension for
short periods and II brings revo-
cation for longer times.

Alien Wins Decision
In Appeal Of Ban on
Returning 10 China

The y. S. Court of Appeals for
the District of Columbia today
ruled that United States author
tiles cannot bar an alien Chinese
from returning to his homeland
without first giving him hear
ing.
The ruling was made in the
case of Han-Lee Mao, a Chinese
now iE California.
Last year the U. S. District
Court for the District of Colum-
bia dismissed a suit brought
against the Attorney General by
Mao which sought to offset an
order which prevented him from
returning to his native China.
Full Hearing Ordered.
The appellate court today re-
manded the case to the lower
court, instructing it to enjoin the
Attorney General from denying
Mao permission to leave this
country without first giving him
"a full and fair hearing" He is
entitled to the hearing, the
higher court held, under the fifth
amendment to the Constitution.
The Court of Appeals decision,
written by Judge Wilbur K. Mil
ler, pointed out that Mao came
to the United States in 1947 for
scientific study. The opinion
also pointed out that he had
come here under the auspices OF
the Nationalist Government OF
China with a passport issued
by it. "He is not an enemy alien,
since we have not been tech
nically at war with Communist
China" the opinion said.

In 1851. the court said, Mao
having earned a masters degree
in oceanography, desired to re-
turn to China. then under Com

Act of 1918, as amended.

rezone a Marley Neck tract to
permit the construction of a
refinery.
o. Bowie Duckett, attorney for
the Pan-American Refining Co.,
which is considering the Marley
Neck site. said the commission
ers will inspect the unloading
work either tomorrow or Mon
day.
He said the commissioners
want to make sure there will be
no oil pollution in the Bay or
PatapSco River as a result of
refinery operations.
At previous hearings by the
commissioners several local resi-
dents objected to the refinery if
the wastes were to empty into
the creek.
Mr. Duckett said the company
has not reached a final decision
on location of the refinery 1t
still is considering a site in the
Bay Hundred District of Talbot
County. on the Eastern Shore,
and another possible location in
Virginia, he said.
Mr.. Duckett said he under

Meanwhile, the Talbot County

| to "get the facts" on the pro-
posed refinery. reported that a
212-foot decline in the level OF
the water table could be expected
in the Wade's Point area after
the refinery had been operating
for a year.
The association said the de-
cline in the water table would
be 112 feet two miles distant
from the site; 38 feet at 10 miles
and 13 feet at 20 miles.
The association said the esti-
mates were made by r, N Leg
gett of the Leggett & Brashears
firm of ground water consulting
engineers of New York. The esti-
mates were based on studies
made at Cambridge and at Baiti-
more. where ground water fac
tors are considered to be similar
The association said the en-
gineers estimated that after five
years pumping, the water level
would be lowered las feet 20
miles from the site, and AZ feet
20 miles away.
The estimates were based on
an anticipated average daily use
of 10 million gallons of water
The refinery data called for
pumping from to Is million
gallons day.
