Cordial Party Ends
AttIee Group's Visit
To Communist Party
By John Ridley
London Daily Telegraph Correspondent


PEIPING, China. Aug. 26 B.-
The touring British Labor Party
delegation concluded last night
its visit to Peiping at a party
given by the mayor. This morn.
ing the Laborites fly to Shanghai
where they will stay the next few
days before continuing to Canton
and then to British Hong Kong.
At last nights party there were
many government officials in
GLIDING Premier Chou En-lai.
On leaving, former British
Prime Minister Clement Attlee,
leader of the Labor Party group,
said to Mr. Chou: IT bring to
you, Mr.. Chou En-lai, and will
take from you, a message of
peace and friendship from the
people of China to the people of
Britain" Mr.. Chou smiled. bowed
deeply, and drank a toast from
q glass of Chinese champagne.
Mr.. Chou tonight was the soul
of urbanity. He talked for
while with British journalists
accompanying the Labor Party
delegation. Asked whether West
ernf correspondents could come
freely in the future to China.
MIR. Chou said that matter was
being considered and that any
Improvement in the relationship
between Britain and China
would be considered on a recip-
rocal basis.
Welcomes Criticism.
He then was asked what If
correspondents should write un-
favorable about the new China?
1--WE welcome criticism so long
as it's made in good faith" he
said. you've seen what you
wanted while you've been here
and you can come back when
ycn want to do So" he added.
Generally Aneurin Bevan
seemed to take the floor at
tonight's party. with Mr.. Attlee
hardly in the picture at all. Mr..
Chou and Mr.. Bevan stood for
at least an hour in the middle
Of the floor exchanging toasts
and clearly enjoying each others
company.
Other members of the delega-
ton stood around on the fringe
of this group, obviously ANNOYED
that they were excluded. But
Mr.. Bevan was oblivious of all
the angry glances and continued
his toasts and jokes with Mr..
Chou.
Sightseeing Tour.
The important part of the
DELEGATIONS visit to China now
Is over and the rest of the tour,
until September /, when they
reach Hong Kong. is no more
nor. less than a sightseeing trip.
But. while the Laborites have
been in Peiping. undoubtedly
they have been enormously
active in their efforts to reach
a closer agreement of friendship
between Britain and China.
They have seen all the top
men of the government and
talked with Chairman Mao TIE
tung himself. an almost unheard
of honor in present Chinese
history.
Whether anything concrete
has been achieved remains to
be seen; but at least they have
made the British diplomatic
mission here respectable in
Chinese eyes. Up to now the
British charge d'affaires here,
Humphrey Trevelyan, and other
members of his staff have been
virtually ignored.

u. S. No. z Leads

Death road of the Flathead dur
ing 1854 has been u. S. highway
No. where legal entanglements
have delayed long overdue recon
struction.
Call for bids for building a new
section of U. S. No. 2 east of Nyack
is expected this winter with con-
struction next summer. The new
highway will follow the river in
stead of a series of horseshoe
curves along the mountain.
Most of the deaths also were in
the upper part of the county, but
none of the tragic accidents saw
upper Flathead county residents
killed.
Coroner Harry Campbell's list
of the IL 1854 automobile fatalities
is as follows: July 25, Lyle G..
Stenland, near Essex; Aug. z, Jack
Searle, Denny Gulling and Claire
Mum, up the North Fork; Sept.

FIutheod Has Il
Traffic Deufhs

KALISPELL-As 1854 neared
its end in the Flathead, a total OF
IL traffic deaths in five months
set a record for this western Mon
tana county of $4,000 people.
No other brief period in Flat
head history has seen so many die
from traffic accidents, according to
Coroner Harry Campbell.
The Flathead in 1854 had 16
fatalities by county coroner's
count. The state highway patrol
including two fatalities on the
county's border had a total OF 18.
The Flathead shows better than
it did in 1858, but with II auto
mobile deaths it ties the second
worst year in history, 1948 with
IL. In contrast 1852 had 8 automo-
bile deaths; 1851, 10; 1850 with a
low, 2; 1949, 8; 1948, IL; 1947, 6;
1916, Z; 1945 with 2.
1854 saw the Flathead and the
nation become more aware of the
need for safer driving. There were
proclamations, campaigns, posters
and stickers.
Yet despite the 208 days of 1854
without a traffic death followed
by five months with II deaths, the
Flathead's future is more traffic
safety. MR.

Reason for the 1854 decrease is
attributed by Supt. Emmert to the

the scout jamboree near Los An
geles. The 1851 rail figure was
6,479 and in 1852 5,738 and in 1853

fic is increasing again.

A Christmas eve tragedy in the
Flafhead took the lives of Ben 7.
Sieben and his wife, Mrs. Pearl /.
6ieben Of Dalles Port, Wash, as
they were on their way with
Christmas packages to visit rela-
fives and friends at Cut Bank.
The Siebens had lived at Hungry
Horse during construction of the
dam.
AS the couple approached a
horseshoe curve at Casa Della
creek (near the drinking fountain)
about seven miles east of Nyack
Friday at Sis pm, they rounded
q sharp curve on down hill grade
TO enter the horseshoe.
Coroner Harry Campbell's ac-
count continues. "The road was
snow packed and they swung wide
going into the plowed snow on the
side and practically stopped. Two
wheels went over the bank, and
the car plunged 130 feet to the
creek below"
Mrs. Sieben was evidently
thrown from the car as it turned
over. Her body was discovered by
Patrolman Ramsey who was called
to the scene. She was under the
front Of the car in IA inches of
snow and rocks. Her husband had
been thrown clear of the car as it
tumbled down the bank.
Deputy Coroner Sol Catron
commented that if the couple had
been wearing safety belts they
likely would have survived. She
died of suffocation. He drowned
in the creek. They may have been
knocked unconscious in the plunge
however.
Coroner Campbell says there was
no evidence of fast driving. An
other car had been following.
However it seems that even 20 to
25 miles an hour was too fast for
the slick road.
The bodies were strapped to a
toboggan and hoisted to the road /
way by wrecker as the hill was
tee toe steep. Ropes were used to get
up and down.
Death of the couple bound for
Cut Bank with Christmas packages
had a saddening effect in the Flat
head over the holidays as radio
and the press brought word of the
tragedy. At least one local pastor
in Christmas services cautioned
his flock. about traffic dangers,
the U. S. No. 2 tragedy.
Mr.. Sieben was a carpenter at
Dalles Port which is across the
Columbia from The Dalles, Ore.
He was AZ, and Mrs. Sieben, 49.
There were no children.
Funeral services were in Cut |
Bank where the bodies were sent
by Waggener and Campbell Funer-
al Home. Survivors include. Mrs.
