MoIeyoIent Peipinq

The espionage tale Just broadcast by the
Peiping radio has all the earmarks Of lurid
hate-America propaganda designed to cover
up the virulent, outlaw nature OF the jail
misunderstanding up to life-that the Chi
nese Communists have imposed on eleven
OF our airmen and two civilian employees Of
our Army.
According to the tale, 230 American
and Chinese Nationalist "spies"-160 Of
them apparently killed in the process-have
been caught in Red China since 1851, after
having been dropped there from planes op-
Grating under the direction Of our Central
Intelligence Agency. But this cloak and
dagger story, which probably plays very fast
and very loose with the facts, has no bearing
on the case Of the thirteen men who have
been imprisoned, and 1t can in no sense JUS
tify that Imprisonment.
For eleven OF these Americans were cap
tured in January, 1858, after their B-29 had
been shot down while on a legitimate mis-
sion during the Korean war. And the two
others-the civilians-fell into the hands Of
the Communists when their plane was lost
on flight between Seoul and Japan in
November, 1852. But Peiping, ignoring its
prisoner-of-war truce obligations and doing
violence to the spirit of our repatriation
talks with its representative in Geneva last
June, has chosen to find all thirteen guilty
of what the State Department has called
"trumped-up" charges.
AS the department has put it, this is
certainly "a great fragrant violation of JUS
tice" that furnishes further proof Of the
Chinese Communist regimes disregard for
accepted practices of international con-
duct" And the Defense Department, brand
ing the espionage charges as utterly false"
has stated the case in even more fitting
terms by declaring that Red China, in met
ing out the prison sentences, has violated
world law, the rules of war and the Korean
arnistice in a way that illustrates once
again it's "bad faith, insincerity and
amorality"
But strong words, unfortunately, will
not liberate the imprisoned thirteen. Short
of resorting to the kind of force that could
mean war, our Government can do little
more at the present stage than take every
possible diplomatic step-including perhaps
special action in the United Nations-to
bring constant pressure to bear on Peiping
in an effort to restore these men, together
with the many other Americans still held in
Red China, to freedom and their grieving
families.
Meanwhile, this latest Chinese Commu-
mist display of rnalevolent contempt for the
standards of International decency should
make it easier for our friends abroad to
understand why the United States, in addi-
tion to Withholding diplomatic recognition,
is determined to keep the Peiping regime out
of the U. N. How can any other policy be
expected Of us, as a self-respecting Nation,
in the light of what that regime has done
and is still doing? .,.e-

Too Diplomatic?

I was surprised to read The Stars
report that the American Ambassador
to Soviet Russia had Joined in drink
ing toast offered in Moscow to the
Chinese Communist foreign minister.
Why did he do this when 500 Ameri-
can servicemen are still imprisoned by
the Chinese Communists, in violation
of their agreements at Panmunjom?
"a few weeks ago, The Star reported
that American diplomats in the Rus
sian capital were entertained by the
Burmese envoy there, and that they
left the party promptly when repre-
sentatives of Communist China came
on the scene. AS of that time, our dip
lomats were maintaining proper cold
ness toward a gangster government.
Since then, obviously, the State De-
partment changed the rules. Who did
it. and why?

Senator Mccarthy is recognized all

If the Senate censures Senator Me.

them to share some of the
pleasures with us. And so,
this concludes a review of

ing OF the captain, mates,
sailors, stewards, nurses,
ship physician and enter
talners amounted to seven
hundred and twenty. So,
you can see that we were
well taken care of at all
times. The members of the
crew were practically all
from Holland; but, could
speak English very well.
While our husbands were
attending the medical ses-
slons, we spent our time
receiving lessons in tennis,
golf, dancing, taking sun
baths or playing cards. At
night, there was always some
form of entertainment;
sometimes, a regular floor
show, at others, a game call
ed Cheerio; twice, the chefs
prepared food in all i'm
aginative shapes; and, one
night as many passengers
as wished took part in a
costume party. Every day
a small newspaper was de-
livered to the cabins telling
of the most important
events happening on shore.
AT night, we received a pro-
gram of the plans for af-
fairs to entertain us the
next day. The latest movies
were also shown.
The cruise took fourteen
days with our ship as our
hotel. Sometimes we landed
close enough to the shore to
use the gangplank; at others
we went ashore in tenders.
Except for the time we visit
ed Cuba, the tenders were
the life boats of the ship.
When the sea was very
rough getting in and out of
them, it took pefect timing
to keep from stepping into
the sea. Looking out the
portfolio one night, I saw a
passenger fall into the water
as he was stepping out of the
boat Another time, a sud-
den squall came up as we

interesting to note how fire
could be controlled and kept
from spreading to other
parts of the ship. That night,

January Goth. All that day
was very warm. By Thurs
day the weather became very
cool; and, Friday morning
we began to SILVER in the
icy air. At noon that day
we landed at Hoboken. The
gray, depressing atmosphere

also, a shower. We could
not use the salt water when
in the harbors because of the
refuse floating around shore.
The two port holes gave us
a chance to take pictures
upon arising. By-the-way,
there were a Beauty Parlor,
