14 Seev I) Statesman, Salem, Wild Beast9 Hunts in China Hint of Internal Uprisings By FRED HAMFSOM ttONG KONG UH Local radios la Red China suddenly have become full of orders for "wild beast hunts' where few or no beasts exist It ; must mean some sort of uprisings In wide areas of China. Radio Peiping. which is beamed abroad, has said .nothing about the "beast hunts. But this week more ; than a dozen internal stations in China are full of the subject J j The radios mention "tigers- and panthers," common Chinese figures f speech for any important enemy, Most of the provinces named have few tigers. China is not a land f predatory animals. . . I first ' heard this myster ious campaign to "prevent beast calamities" in a Chinese broadcast from Kunming, in southwest China, last Sunday. Some Chinese friends and I could not figure it out ; The next night we tried the Han kow radio in the central province of Hupeh. Out came hudreds of , words about "bunting the beasts in the mountains and saving the crops. What? Beasts in Hupeh, a rke bowl province, damage rice pad ' dies? It was a new one on us. The Reds were hunting "tigers" and "panthers" there? c We switched to radio Sian in Shensi Province in the North. There they were organizing peasant hunt ing parties to track down wild beasts.' i.

S3. 1953 the Kunming radio In Yunnan Pro vince and heard such as this: "Do not set fire to forests to burn them out . if hunters are killed in the hunt pensions will be supplied . . . peasants or hunters who have died while hunting or have been wounded when seized by beasts will be helped by the government . the government will supply hunters with money for ammunition and guns. . . we must protect the people, cattle and farm plants from beast calamities." Is that a description of a wild beast hunt or an uprising? Since this is all serious stuff. It must mean, some sort of uprisings in several provinces as far north as Shensi, as far south as Hunan and as far west as Yunnan. Who is rebelling? Not a clue Is given. Never once do the radios depart from the "beast" formula. If they mean human beings, they never say so even by inference. It is possible the Communists are recruiting hunters without telling them what they are to hunt There may be more than tigers and pan thers in Red China's mountains, forests and rice paddies.

No record was made of the way each delegate voted because the issue was considered politically tnurhv Prooonents of the meas ure said opposition came largely from banks, trust companies and other institutions which might b reauired to relinquish control of trusts three years sooner than at present The secretaries of state also ex pressed concern over legislation now before Congress wmcn would nermit incorporation in the national capital city. t They said such charters would give companies an advantage nvpr thnsi incornorated in states leading, to a dropping oft of that lucrative business in states which now are headquarters for many big corporations. Deafness Can Be Curbedlf Noted in Time NEW YORK (INS) One out of every 23 IT.

Irving L SchachteL president of the American Hearing Aid Association, also declared that there are more than 15,000,000 people in the U. S. suffering from hearing defects and that 3,000, 000 of these are school-age chil dren. Watch for Signals Schachtel said at least 60 per cent of all hearing. impairments can be cured or controlled if dis covered early enough, and he urged parents to watch for 10 "warning signals" that indicate a child is hard of hearing.

CORNELL WASHINGTON tf Sen. Mc Carthy (R-Wis), declared Saturday there is evidence the Government Printing Office (GPO) harbors Communists and a gambling ring which Vofferi the most serious threat possible to the security of the nation." Public Printer Raymond C. Blat- tenberger, appointed by President Eisenhower to run the big govern ment printing plant, agreed com pletely that such activities are a grave threat. But Blattenberger testified that security has improved in the four months he has been on the job. He disclosed that 15 employes accused of Communist connections have been shunted to jobs in the Library of Congress, where they won t handle any secret material, until it has been determined wheth er the charges against them are true or. false. j McCarthy himself seemed to be hinting at one point that GPO would have better security if it would get rid of Deputy Public Printer Philip Cole as its security officer. Cole and Blattenberger sat side by side on the witness stand while McCarthy pounded questions at them. Cole, a 30-year career man, has contended there has been nothing lax about GOFs security setup, while McCarthy has called it "fan tastic." They collided repeatedly to the extent of calling one another a liar in somewhat restrained but unmistakable terms. . i McCarthy's charge that an, or ganized gambling ring is operat ing at the printing office seemed to catch both Blattenberger and Cole by surprise. At least they said it did, and they looked on with evident amazement when Mc Carthy produced a surprise witness. This Witness, Carl J. Lundmark, a GPO hand compositor, stood on his rights under the 5th Amend ment to the Constitution and re fused to say whether he runs a gambling "book" at the Printing Office and whether he made $25, 000 from it last year. , all members, their friends and townspeople to go out and help!
