RED PAPERs NoT MAILEp


HONG KONG CP) THE Chinese
Communists now have limited the
number Of newspapers that can
be mailed to foreign countries.
During the first year Of the Red
regime, Communist papers from
most cities of China could be sent
to Hong Kong and other outside
points. They adhered to the party
line but contained regional news
which was not SO closely censored.
Last year all papers except se-
lected ones from Peiping, Shanghai
and Canton were taken from the
list. However, other papers still
leak" out Of China into Hong
Kong and it is possible to obtain
a fair 4cross-section Of information.

it's mind. The board says it
needs the money first before it
can hire architects to tell them
definitely which plan would be
best-the new school or the ad-
dition to Mount Daniel.
But time is running out. Un-
less the voters are given a chance
soon to pass on the issue, next
years school children will be
more crowded than ever, and the
city is growing fast.
Draw up New Resolution.
Last nights School Board ses-
sion took more than three hours.
What it produced was a new
resolution to the city council
stating it's old position.
The board asserted it's present
intention" is to construct the
Mount Daniel addition. but made
it clear it does not want to be
committed to such a course if
future study makes new school
appear more desirable.
To emphasize it's desire for
freedom, the board emphatically
rejected two separate resolutions,
one calling definitely for the
Mount Daniel addition. and the
other for a new school in the
southwest section. Individual
members said that to do other
wise would site their hands" i"
All agreed that the next move,
for better or worse, is up to the
