a few days ago from a housewife,
one V. Svistunova. She wrote from
the Soviet city of Kishinev, hard

The housewife wrote that she

alist press reports said Wednes
day the Chinese Communists were
rushing work on four air bases
across Formosa Strait and had
moved in 800 warplanes along the
southeast coast.
. Part of these reports may be the
cause of latest U.S concern over
Formosa. But it appears the Com
munists still are far from ready
for any big operation because of
supply problems along the moun
tainous coast. - '
ready dark afternoon by suggest
ing there was "nothing better
than the kitchen floor for eating
off of."
The woman said in her letter
that she found the Ministry of Lo
cal Industrial Production in Mol
devis, headed by "Comrade Ate
menenko, does not consider the
need of consumers." '
The U. S. Labor Department
learned from other sources that
the Kishinev woodworking factory
received a lot of orders from the
City Trade Organization during
the last half-year. People desper
ately needed things like kitchen
cabinets, cupboards, clothes hang
ers, shelves, and other household
furniture.
The orders weren't answered.
Other factories, the Labor De
partment found out, had orders to
produce hatchet handles, clothes
pins, rolling pins, stools, bed
stands, and other things. None of
the orders were being filled.
Mrs. S. concluded in her letter
to Trud that the Soviet doesn't
want to. bother with "trifles.
She quoted the Red leaders as
saying that such was "inconveni
ent. It would prevent the fulfill
ment of the state plan."
WASHINGTON Ufi "Edward
Corsi charged Wednesday a State
Department "security gang" head
ed by Scott McLeod had wrecVd
the administration's refugee relief
program. .
,He told a Senate judiciary sub-'
committee the program ' needs to
be taken out of "the hands of the
policemen" and administered un
der "new, competent and sympa
thetic leadership." f
Corsi.- a prominent- New York
Republican, said he was brought
into the State Department as an
expert last Jan. 9 to help get the
program "rolling.' Ninety days
later Secretary of State Dulles
fired, him. "Shabby and un-Chris-tian
treatment," Corsi called it.
He testified that McLeod, State
Department security chief and di
rector of the program, believed
most Americans and 'most Con
gressmen are "against immigra
tion of any kind."
Increased immigration is one. of
the basic ideas of the Refugee Re
lief Act. Under it. the United States
would admit 214.000 carefully
screened refugees by the end of
1S56. About 22,000 visas have been
issued during the past 18 months
of the program.
McLeod told the senators Wed
nesday he believed the aims of
the program would be "substan
tially" achieved. He pictured Corsi
as unwilling to settle down as his
deputy.

Demonstrated
By U.S., Bonn
BONN, Germany Lf Tbe Unit
ed States and West Germany
joined Wednesday the 66th an
niversary of Adolf Hitler's birth
in a diplomatic formality of the
process that is soon to make them
partners in defense. 1
They deposited in Bonn their
treaties to end the occupation, now
in its 10th year; and allow Allied
troops to remain on German soil
as a bulwark against aggression.
West Germany will not become
sovereign- and able to rearm, how'
ever, . until Britain and France
have taken the same action. The
North Atlantic Treaty Organiza
tion nations also have to deposit
treaties giving Bonn membership
in NATO and the Western Euro
pean Union (WEU) in Washington
and Brussels.
This cannot be done until the
Dutch Parliament completes rati
fication in early May. But German
officials expressed confidence
Wednesday that the whole process
will - be completed by May 7.
Wednesday s action was some
what of a surprise. It had been
assumed that all the Western Al
lies and West .Germany would act
together on an agreed date. The
joint move by Chancellor Konrad
Adenauer and U. S. High Commis
sioner James B. Conant provoked
speculation that it was a demon
stration of Western determination
to go ahead with the Paris treat
ies despite Soviet Russia's latest
proposals to free Austria as a
neutralized nation.
The U. S. intention to deposit the
documents weanesaay was an
nounced Tuesday. But not until the
last minute was it known that
West Germany was going to do
it. too.
The treaty ending the occupation
provides that the West German
Federal Republic shall have the
full authority of a sovereign state
lover its internal' and external af
fairs.
Underwater Surgery Given
To Bat Ray in Oceanarium
PALOS VERDES. Calif., (UP)
Charlie, a 50-pound myopic bat
ray, swam languidly about the
main tank of the Pacific Ocean
arium Thursday convalescing from
a delicate half hour eye operation,
the first underwater surgery on
record.
W his left eye, Charlie sported
a new transplanted cornea deftly
sewn in place with eight sutures
by Dr. H. George Blasdel, eye
surgeon at Los Angeles County
General Hospital.
Youth Sits in
Jail Cell as
Dad Buried
PASCO. Wash. I P.H. Peter
sen, 52, was buried quietly Wed
nesday. Family and friends were there
to grieve but not the 16-year-old
son whose bullets struck him
down April 1. Petersen's life ebbed
slowly until he died last Sunday
night.
The son. Richard, a pudgy 200
pounder, was not permitted to
leave the Franklin County jaQ to
attend the funeral.
However, the boy was allowed
a few mba: tes alone with his fath
er's bodCat a funeral home Tues
day. S$2nff Harvey Huston said
he came out of the room tight
lipped but dry-eyed.
Prosecutor Roger Olson said an
assault charge against young Pe
tersen for wounding his father
would be changed next week either
to first or second degree murder.
The boy already has been
charged with first degree murder
for the death of Pasco Police Pa
trolman Alva Jackson, 38, who was
mortally wounded in disarming the
berserk youth. The shooting spree
was touched off by a family quar
rel over the boy's beer drinking.
Blasdel donned an aqua-lung and
a grey-white rubber suit to per
form the operation at Marineland
yesterday. Acting as "nurse," was
Pat Patterson, a diver at the
Oceanarium, who was forced to .
chase Charlie alT over the tank be
fore the blind but unwilling bat ray
could be put on the operating table.'
Crowd Watches
A large crowd witnessed the op
eration anj Dr. J. Willoughby
Howe, another eye surgeon.gave
a running account from outside the
tank on how the operation was
proceeding.
Charlie, a friendly black-winged
ray that had become a pet at the
Oceanarium, was nearly blind
from bumping his protruding eyes
on the glass walls of the tank. A
healthy ray was caught in the
ocean to act as an equally unwil
ling donor.
Patterson, after managing to
catch up with the two fish, tied,
them to small operating tables
loaded with weights. Dr. Blasdell ,
gave each ray a hypodermic injec
tion of anesthetic, and they went,'
to sleep.
May' Fix Other Eye
With Patterson holding a tray of
delicate surgical tools. Dr. Blas
dell neatly cut a circular cornea
from the healthy ray and trans
planted it in Charlie's left eye. For
the operation, Blasdell wore a
special lens on his face-plate to
correct for underwater distortion.
He said the sutures would be re
moved in about a week, and if the
dperation proves successful, Char
lie's right eye may be fixed also.
Blasdell, who has performed simi
lar surgery on dogs, said the oper-1
ation went off very well and he
had every hope it was a success.
Patterson said he postponed '
working on Charlie's, right eye be-'
cause the fish got "restless." After
the operation, the patieat was re
leased from the operating table,
revived and swam gracefully
away.
Only sad note to the proceedings ,
occurred when the donor ray failed ;
to revive, apparently from an over-!
dose of anesthetic. '
