$4,000 D. {. Area Vets
To Get Gl Education Aid.

More than $4,000 Washington
area veteranS-about $500 of
them Korean war veterans-are
expected to participate in GI
training programs this fall, Vet
Grams Administration officials
said last night.
About half the Korean vet
erans were to be in universities.
In addition, about 5000 World
War II veterans were to resume
training.
VA officials urged that men
attending school under the Ko-
rean CT Bill take along enough
money of their own to tide them
over for at least two months. 1t
takes that long to get the first
checks out since allowances can't
be paid until veterans are in
school for at least a month.
The agency announced also
that inspections are under way
in each school and training
establishment here to make cer-
tain monthly allowances paid
are in accordance with the laws.
Statistics show average age of
the veterans of Korea in training
is just over 25 years, with 80 per
cent of them between 81 and
28 years. However, number are
in their teens. The oldest, Off
i<eials said, is pushing 60.

$4,000 a year and ranging up
to $5.2O0,. wit huniforms pro-

Facts on ; Americans
Seized off Hong Kong
BY the Assoeiotsd Press

The State Department reported
complete failure last night in all
its efforts to get information
from Communist China about
three Americans seized by the
Chinese Reds last March while
cruising in a yacht of Hong
Kong.
The department reported 33
Americans are now in Red
China's iails and said it has had
no success in trying to take dip
lomatic action on their behalf.
Some of the Americans have been
imprisoned for two years.
"The department will not over
look any possibility of obtaining
the release of all the Americans
unjustly imprisoned by the Chi
nese Communists or denied the
right to leave Communist China"
the department said.
200 Able to Leave.
1t was the first time in many
months that the department had
given a report on Americans in
Communist China. It said in
December. 1851. that about 800
Americans were still there, mostly
engaged in business or mis-
sionary activities, but that about
80 of them were reported to be
In prison.
In response to questions, the
department said its best infor-
nation is that 101 Americans
are now in China, including 33
in Jail, actually 80 Americans are
imprisoned; one is under house
arrest.
The 101 total means that since
December, 1851, about 200 Amer
leans have been able to leave
China.
The department said it is
seriously concerned over "the
continued imprisonment, deten-
ton and maltreatment of Ameri-
can citizens in Communist
China"
The Communist regime has
not published the charges on
which most of the Americans
are being held. Nor has it an
SWered the numerous protest
notes which the British repre-
sentatives in Peiping have pre-
Sented on this country'S behalf.
Lodge Request Ignored.
Britain recognizes the Peiping
regime as the government of
China. The United States does
not.
Three of the missing Ameri-
canS-Donald Dixon of the In
ternational News Service, Rich
ard Applegate of the National
Broadcasting Co. and Capt. Ben
KraSner of the American mer-
chant marine - were seized
aboard the yacht Kert on March
81 by a Chinese gunboat. A
week later, the British repre-
sentative at Peiping appealed for
information, but neither then nor
since then have the Reds given
out any information, the de-
partment said.
The department said that on
March 25, Ambassador Henry
Cabot Lodge during a debate at
the United Nations asked the
Soviet Union to furnish infor-
nation about Americans held in
China. but nothing came of it.
In addition, the American En-
baSsy staff in Moscow has made
several approaches to the So
Wet Foreign Office this year."
the department said, without
avail.
