Jake ROSEN, which caused Rosen to have three stitches in his chin and five

in his biceps.. This second incident was hushed up only with difficulty because

the Chinese authorities learned of it when a doctor was called. "

2. The Peking CHINA YOUTH NEWS carried in its 5 Oclober 1957,

issue an article by Joanne Grant, giving her impregsion of her visit to

China. She had the following to say in her article:

"You can see the future through the Chinese people. You can ob-

tain a firm conviction that China will continuously advance forward.. As a

western visitor, nothing impressed me more than the great power of this

country. Every person in New China is very modest but has great pride;

they are united, have self-respect, and respect each other. No one can

overlook China's advance; it is to be regretted that many people do not

have the opportunity to observe it personally. I like Shanghai very mụch,

because from the way Shangbai has changed I can really understand New

China. In the old Shanghai, except for the Chinese, everyone bad special

privileges. However, everything has changed greatly. I am of the opinion

that from this,one can see the miracles which have begun in this great

country."

in Hong Kong on 6 October 1957.. O'Connell provided the Consulate General,

Hong Kong, with information on some of the other members of the group. He

had the following to say about Larry Moyer:

"Larry MOYER, age 32, was reporting on the trip for United Press.

O'Connell was Moyer's roommate in Moscow, and had learned of many of

Moyer's past experiences before O'Connell had indicated where he stood

politically. Moyer had been a pimp in Hawaii in 1941, working through the

photograph shops where a serviceman could get his picture taken with a hula

garl.

He had also been afriend of Ada B. Jackson, whom O'Connell described

as "a well-known pink in New York"; Moyer had known her through American

Labor Party meetings there. O'Connell said that Moyer was crude, but by

no means

stupid." (Foreign Service Dispatch, Hong Kong, number 289,

both were quite sound in their thinking, and he was convinced of their anti-

O'Connell said that both of Steve's parenis had

spite of his violent reaction against his upbringing. O'Connell said that
