In peiping Mission
Finds Canton Tense
By N. Associated Press

HONG KONG. Jan. 10.-A
Canadian newsman returned
here yesterday from a three
day trip into Red China, his ef-
forts to reach Peiping in time for
the conferences between United
Nations Secretary General Dag
Hammarskjold and Chinese Pre-
mier Chou En-lai failure. He
got only as far as Canton.
William Stevenson, correspon-
dent of the Toronto Star who has
made two previous trips into Red
China in the last three months,
said he noted a new air Of ten
sion in Canton which he had
not seen on his other visits
there. He said he saw Red
Chinese troops manning anti
aircraft guns around the city,
while women patrols roamed the
streets.
MI Stevenson left Hong Kong
Thursday with two other COR
respondents, Francis Lara Of the
French News Agency and Russell
Spur of the London Daily Ex-
press
Unable to Reach Peiping.
He said they were unable to
get space on a plane or train for
the rest of the journey In Pei
ping in time for the meetings in
which. Mr.. Hammarskjold is seek
ing to obtain the release Of IL
American airmen jailed by the
Red Chinese as spies and other
U. N. personnel held In China.
There are no western news
men in Peiping with the Ham
marskjold party.
Mr.. Lara and Mr.. Spur, who
had not been to Peiping before,
stayed on in Canton to try to
get the capital on a general
news assignment.
Mr.. Stevenson said he could
not attribute the tenseness in
Canton to any one thing in par
ticllar. but said it appeared the
Reds were Tightening security
measures.
He added the tenseness seemed
to be strictly military. while the
people themselves showed great
curiosity.
Crowds Gather.
when we stopped at Love
All Peoples Hotel in Canton" he
said, large crowds gathered out
side. It was rumored that Ham
marskjold would be in Canton
on Saturday. I feel people in
Canton know a lot more than
has been told them by Peiping.
One official made a remark
about what would happen If the
II United States airmen were
released, leading me to believe
that they must have had more
information than Peiping has
told them"
Peiping radio has not men,
toned the purpose of Mr.. Ham
marskjold's visit since his arrival.

ping she favors an agreement
leading to quick release Of the
airmen. The dispatch. by
Times Correspondent A. M.
Rosenthal, quoted qualified
sources as saying Indian au-
thorities have indicated it
would be politically wise to
make such a settlement
whether Peiping,s spy charges
are justified or not.)
Americas program Of prepar-
ing for another war is respon-
sible for the present deteriora-
tion of the world situation" the
radio said, quoting an editorial
in the official Communist organ
Peiping Peoples Daily.

|FHA Holding Title
To 1854 Dwellings
by Foreclosure

The Federal Housing Admin
istration holds title to housing
properties containing 1854
dwelling units which it had to
take over under mortgage fore
closures, it was disclosed today.
The 1854 figure was the total
on December is. A year earlier
the agency held properties con-
tanning $3.50 units. Between
last November Is and December
II, FILA took title to properties
containing 651 units and sold
properties with 284 units.
OF the properties which FILA
now holds. those with 7.744 units,
or two-thirds Of the total. were
built under Section 608 of the
Housing Act. Under this section.
multi-family buildings were
erected for rental purposes and
millions in so-called "windfall"
profits were realized.
The 7,744 units are contained
in 128 projects built on Is diff
ferent tracts.
The 1854 units also include
688 units in 444 different one
to-four-family properties, 213
units in one cooperative hous-
ing project, zoos units in 1851
war housing properties. and 749

Violent Language Used.
While neither Of these charges
is new, they we're couched in
violent language and provided q
din as If to drown out any need
for news of Mr.. Hammarskjold's
visit. The sole reference to that
was in an earlier broadcast
which charged America with
talking about direct action" to

"there are things much worse

T was always hungry, although
the Chinese put no limit on the
quantity of bread or rice I coulc
eat at mealtime. They would not
let me keep any of the food ir
my cell. however, and it was
difficult to eat enough at 6 ir
the morning to last until
in the afternoon, and to eat
enough then to last me until the
next day.
Worries About Family.
My main worry at this time
was whether my family had been
informed of my capture. Though
did not discuss anything else,
pleaded with my captors to
inform my parents. who were
old, that I was still alive.
It is difficult to describe the
thoughts that ran through a
mans mind as he sits hour
after hour. day after day, star
ing at four walls. The situation
is made worse when you are
suspicious Of your captors and
believe that they only want to
get some information before
executing you. So my thoughts
drifted back to home and my
wife and children. I felt that
If they knew what had hap
pened to me that was about all
! could hope for.

Moreover. I remember when
talking to fellow officers we
agreed that the best thing to do
was to tell them anything within

in my mind was what is within

The interpreter returned the
next evening and talked about
China and Canada. He wanted
to know what I did on our holi-
days. such as Christmas, which
was not far off. He indicated
that the men in their prisoner
of-war camps would get a won-
derful Christmas dinner, with
turkey and all the trimmings.
He went on in that vein for some
time, saying that if I cooperated
with him I could join others in a
prisoner r-of-war camp and enjoy
the festivities with them. This
was the first inkling got that I
was being kept captive alone for
