Newsmen May Be Able To Enter Red China
WASHINGTON — (UP) — The way will probably be cleared within the next two weeks or so for American newsmen to enter Red China, authoritative sources said Monday.
Plans for the long-awaited breakthrough of the Bamboo Curtain will be discussed at a meeting here Thursday of news media representatives with Secretary of State John Foster Dulles and Assistant Secretary of State Andrew Berding.
The State Department, uneo heavy pressure from news organizations and members of Congress, has gradually been softening its position on the newsman ban. Dulles has said recently that if plans could be worked out for a limited number of newsmen to go to China, something might be worked out.
Since then suggestions from various news organizations have been received by the State Department. The majority of these proposals, it was said, favor entry into China of representatives of the 12 U. S. news organizations who had men in China prior to its seizure by the Communists.
The 12 news organizations are the United Press, Associated Press, International News Service, National Broadcasting Co., American Broadcasting Co., Columbia Broadcasting System, New York Times, New York Herald Tribune, Chicago Tribune, Chicago Daily News, Christian Science Monitor and Time Magazine.
While some of these organizations had more than one representative in China previously, it was expected any new representation probably would be limited to one man apiece.
Peiping Regime Labeled "Barbarian"
The chief State Department argument against letting U. S. newsmen enter Red China at present is that the Peiping regime is a "barbarian" government that should not be accorded the recognition and respect due a civilized nation.
Administration officials said the arguments against letting newsmen go to Red China could not stand against the overriding right of the American people to know at first-hand from their own reporters what is happening in the world's most populous nation.
The ban on travel by other Americans to Red China and on trade with and recognition of the Peiping regime are expected to continue for the foreseeable future.
Red China itself is considered likely to admit most if not all the U. S. newsmen that may be authorized by this government to enter. The Reds, after a long ban on entry of American reporters, brushed aside the Bamboo Curtain last Fall with an invitation to 15 U. S. newsmen to enter.
All the 15 invited complied, some reluctantly, with the U. S. ban on any travel to Red China. Since then three American newsmen entered and returned from China in violation of the ban.
No punitive action has been taken against them but one-William Worthy of the Baltimore Afro-American—has been refused a renewal of his passport. He is appealing the decision.
U.S. Editors Hear Sobering Thoughts
SAN FRANCISCO—(UP)—Nearly 300 editors from newspapers across the United States returned to their homes today to reflect on two sobering predictions of things to come.
The editors heard the predictions Saturday on the final day of the convention of the American Society of Newspaper Editors. It was a meeting marked by factual, hard-hitting reports from leaders in all walks of life. Industrial Civilization May Be Born
Industrial Civilization May Perish One prediction came from Dr. Harrison Brown of the California Institute of Technology, one of a panel of nuclear scientists. Discussing the present behavior patterns of people and nations, he said, "I would be inclined to give rather substantial odds that sooner or later the boat will be rocked and industrial civilization will perish . . . almost certainly within the next century, quite possibly within the next 25 years, conceivably within the next five years."
Brown said the world is "long past the point where agreement for the control of atomic weapons could be reached."
Lester B. Pearson, Canada's former Minister of External Affairs and now member of Parliament, warned that high American tariff barriers threaten defense cooperation between his country and the United States.
The ASNE elected Virginius Dabney of the Richmond, Va., TimesDispatch as its president. He succeeded Jenkin Lloyd Jones of the Tulsa Tribune.
Insults Add To Injury
JERSEY CITY — (UP) — Mrs. Thomas E. Smith won a divorce here because her husband added insult to injury.
Besides beating her up, Mrs. Smith said, her husband forced her to sleep with his grandmother and turned her paycheck over to his mother.
Economy Slash May Hurt AEC
WASHINGTON — (UP) — The Atomic Energy Commission has told Congress it will have to cut nuclear weapon production drastically if it is required to comply with President Eisenhower's new economy order.
This was disclosed Monday with publication of testimony taken by a House Appropriations Subcommittee on Friday. The transcript was released by Chairman Clarence Cannon (D-Mo.) under the heading: "Repudiation of the 1958 Budget."
K. E. Fields, AEC general manager, told the Subcommittee he will "argue strongly" that the atomic energy program be exempted from the President's general economy rule.
AFC, he said, could not meet the new economy test without shutting down "quite a number of plants" which would mean a "drastic" cut back in "the number of weapons that we have projected to be produced."
Nebraska has 54 state-owned lakes and recreation grounds, four fish and game hatcheries, four public shooting grounds, three big game refuges and shooting grounds, three bird refuges, seven state parks, and one big game refuge.
Fields indicated, however, that he believes weapons production comes under the list of possible exemptions Budget Director Percival F. Brunlage mentioned in circulating the President's new order.
The Illinois Institute of Technology, (Chicago) formed by the merger of Armour Tech and Lewis Institute, now claims the largest engineering enrollment in the country.

Moreover, the manager leads the audience in a community sing of the "Star Spangled Banner" before and after each performance of this story of the American Revolution.
Included in this splashy panorama are such incidents as the Boston Tea Party and the Battle of Concord. All the quasi-Indian participants in the former put the Robert Shaw Chorale to shame as they chanted (in 32-part harmony) some flagwaving ditty while making Boston Harbor a teapot.
The story is based on the kiddies' best-seller of the same name and features Hal Stalmaster, Luana Patten, and Jeff York as the three not-so-very-delicate delinquents who almost single-handedly win the War of Independence.
As regards the battle, we waited in joyful anticipation to see precisely who had really fired "the shot heard 'round the world." When the great moment came, a shot was heard out of camera range; soldiers on both sides started like deer drinking at a pool in a forest. They had every reason to be excited, for it has since been rumored that in reality the shot was Mr. Disney committing suicide.
The picture ends right smack dab in the middle of the war, but it is implied that Johnny will survive to create many more silver chamber pots for constitutionalists of future generations. And such is the American heritage.
