Nov. U-UF)- Five republican members of the house foreign affairs committee today denounced the state depart ment's handling of the Angus Ward case as "one of the most humiliating chapters in American diplomatic history. In a joint statement, the legis lators demanded that President Truman immediately fire all state department officials responsible for what they called the depart ment's "spineless performance." The five congress members par ticularly criticized "the fact that the state department could not protect the life of one of its own officials without appealing for help to 30 other nations." Appeal Sent Out The state department announ ced last Monday that Secretary of State Acheson had sent out an un precedented appeal on November 19 to 30 foreign countries, includ ing Russia, to help get American Consul General Ward out of jail in communist China. Ward and four consulate em ployes who were arrested with him and tossed into jail by the communists were finally released earlier this week. They have not yet made their way to outside freedom, however. Loss ef Face Cited In their statement, the five re publicans declared: "The loss of face by the United States is beyond calculation. The department's action was only the culmination of a ,year of supine pleas and cajolery with the Chi nese communists to obtain Ward's freedom while the prestige and dignity of the United States daily sank lower and lower In the eyes of the rest of the world. Ward was not jailed until Octo ber 24 but he and his staff pre viously had been denied transpor tation facilities out of red-held Manchuria. - The statement was signed by Representatives Robert B. Chi per field of Illinois, John M. Vorysof Ohio, Lawrence H. Smith of Wis consifl, Walter H. Judd of Minne sota and Donald L. Jackson of California. "It is to be assumed," the group demanded, "that it will require the assistance of 30 nations to pro tect the lives of our diplomatic of' ficials under similar clrcumstan ces in the future? "The truth is that firm action taken months ago would have ach ieved the results desired. The fail ure to take such action ,1s only one by-product of the incredibly botched China policy which our government has pursued for the last four years.
