rejected any suggestion that the
United States swap IS Chinese
being held in this country for
the 13 Americans that Commu-
mist China is holding as spies.
A broadcast from the Red
radio at Peiping hinted that
such q deal might be arranged.
State Department spokesman
Lincoln White commented:
There is no question Of a
deal involved here"
Cases Being PrOcessed.
Mr.. White said that the cases
Of the 35 Chinese being detained
in the United States have been
and are being processed in due
course"
Mr.. Whites statement did not
rule out the possibility that the
Chinese would be allowed to go
back to the China mainland if
they desire. It merely empha-
sized that the Chinese would not
be released as part of a direct
swap.
Throughout the cold war, the
United States has maintained
the position that it will not swap
humans under these circum-
stances, but will deal justice un-
der American law to every alien
in the United States.
Since the Geneva Conference
of this spring, the United
States gradually has been re-
leasing Chinese who previously
were denied exit permits. OF
the 81 who insisted on leaving
after the Geneva Conference,
only 35 are still detained.
Some Learned Skills.
Some of these came to the
United States as students and
acquired skills in electronics,
physics, and other sciences in
which they could serve the
Chinese Communist regime.
They are denied permission to
leave under a provision of the
McCarran- Walter Immigration
Act of 1852.
This law states:
When the United States is at
war or during the existence of
any national emergency pro-
claimed by the President, or. as
to aliens, whenever there exists a
state of war between or among
two or more states, and the Pres
ident shall find that the interests
of the United States require that
restrictions and prohibitions in
addition to those provided other
wise than by this section be i'm
posed upon the departure of per-
sons from and their entry into
the United States, and shall
make public proclamation there
of. it shall. until otherwise Or
dered by the President, be un-
lawful:
"(1) For any alien to depart
from or enter or attempt to
depart from or enter the United
States except under such reason
able rules. regulations and orders
and subject to such limitations
and exceptions as the President
may prescribe. :"
Still in Emergency.
State Department officials said
the United States. for the pur-
poses of this law, is In a state of
national emergency proclaimed
at the outbreak of the Korean
war in 1850. These officials also
said that the White House has
issued the necessary proclama-
tons so that the Justice De-
partment can bar the exit Of the
IS Chinese who do not have
specific permission to leave the
United States.
The Chinese. however. are free
to travel and work anywhere in
the United States. State De-
partment officials said they were
highly trained men capable of
earning their living here.

the magic words that sum up
the big style trend of 1854.
The look evolved naturally
from the slim. midriff -molding
styles that have been on the
scene for the last few years
and was given q big push by
the recent Dior collections. It's
essentially q look of length.
with high-set sleeves, q raised
bustline and lowered waist
line. For dress wear. It's usu-
ally close-fitting: in casual
costumes, a MILDLY effect is
seen often. It's evening inter-
pretations are most striking:
for example,,a medieval-look-
ing white faille sheath, cut
