TAIPEI, Formosa-A highly
Itouted program to WOO overseas
Chinese by giving them college
educations has flunked its first
annual exam.
When a new school year starts
this fall. Uncle Sam-who is
paying much of the bill-will
keep closer parental eye on the
registrars office.
During the school year just
ending. the United States has
paid out directly or indirectly
about 100000 to supply build
Iings and other facilities for
teaching Chinese who come here
from overseas to study.
The idea, stated in undip-
Ilomatic terms. was to draw Chi
Inese from such Asian hot spots
las Indonesia, Wet Nam and
Burma. These Chinese. while re-
Iceiving a mostly-free college
education in Nationalist China,
presumably would learn the
dangers of communism. Then
they were supposed to return to
their homes overseas-all ready
to spread the Communist
word among their fellow Chi
IneSe who play such a dynamic
Irole in the economies of all
Southeast Asia.
The Chinese Nationalist gov
ernment did the recruiting
and did, indeed, sign up stu
dents from countries scattered
throughout free Asia. Right now.

College Plan for Chinese
F|unks First Annual T est

1850 students are completing
their first year of training under
the program.
A breakdown. however, shows
that SO per cent of the students
came from British Hong Kong
or neighboring Portuguese Ma
eau. They are two of the points
in which the United States and
Nationalist China have the least
interest in trying to influence
politically.
Another discouraging aspect of
the program. as it has worked
so far. is that some of the Chi
neSe who are being educated
here will not be accepted again
by the countries which they left.
In this way. the basic aims
of the program are not being full
filled. During the coming school
year. the United States may
spend-directly or indirectly
81 million on the program. again
mostly for physical facilities.
The Chinese Nationalists, how
ever, will be under considerable
pressure to register more stu
dents from politically-sen
aeas.
The program is in direct
competition with a similar cam
paign which the Chinese Com
munists are pressing through
out Southeast Asia. Compared
with the 1850 students which
the American backed program
has recruited. the Chinese Com
munists are believed to have
about 10000 overseas Chinese in
their colleges.

ATLANTIC CITY. N. j.. June
6.-The most damning-and at
the same time most conservative
indictment of cigarettes as
responsible for one of the most
frequent causes of death among
American men, was voiced by
doctors of the American Cancer
Society before the American
Medical Society, which opened
it's 104th annual meeting here
today.
The killer is lung cancer. For
the last five years the cigarette
has been accused. 1t has been
defended By its victims" A curl
Gus feature of the reports today
was that some of the country's
most eminent physicians, in
complete agreement with the
Cancer Society's findings, ad-
mitted that they still were smok-
ing a couple of packs a day.
They are willing to take the risk
rather than the psychological
hurdle of breaking a long -estab-
lished habit.
There have been arguments on
the other side. Statistics, espe-
clally medical statistics. are con-
fuSing and the Cancer Society
presented its findings to be inter-
Dreted as one pleases.
A couple of years ago the So
ciety started a survey of 1873, 900
men who have passed middle
age. These men were scattered
all over the United States. Some
were cigarette smokers. Some de-
tested the word tobacco" They

British Strikers Spurn
Eden's Plea to Return

! LONDON, June 6 (P.-Brit-

rejected Prime Minister Eden s

Their leaders accused the
Conservative chief, returned to

than two weeks ago, of getting q

He appealed to the strikers to
go back to work and then start

for more pay.
Earlier Experience Cited
But Noel Pinches, president of
the Associated Society of Loco
motive Engineers and Firemen,
told newsmen today that Sir An
thongs appeal will find no ia

Mr.. PincheS claimed his un-
ion had already called off one
threatened strike on the promise
of wage talks which did not
reach agreement.
Charles Geddes, president of
the mammoth Trade Unions
Congress, with which nearly all
British unions are affiliated, also
expressed regret at Sir Anthony's
call for a return to work before
talks begin.
He is forgetting that the
strike was suspended by the un-
ion to allow discussions to take
place and that they broke down, :"
he said 1T is very difficult to
ask them to repeat that without
some guarantees"
