They added that a temperate diplomatic climate also might lead to freeing other Americans held captive by the Chinese Commu nists. . Both sides, the diplomats said, appear to be making an effort to maintain calm. According to information avail able here. Red China s leaders, Mao Tse-tung and Chou En-Lai, were "unquestionably more reas onable" in manner when they con ferred recently -with India's roving ambassador, V..K. Krishna Men- on. One diplomat said there was no "table thumping" and the Reds made no harsh demands on For mosa as they had in the past The Eisenhower administration itself is refusing to use any tough talk about Red China even though the Chinese Communists still hold a least 52 American citizens. , Diplomats familiar with behind the scenes jockeying also believe the release of the 11 airmen could be regarded along with the free ing of four others Monday as the first step toward U.S. - Red China negotiations on easing Far Eastern tensions.- Both nations have expressed in terest in such talks, but nothing has been done to arrange them as yet The State Department an nounced Wednesday that tow-level talks had been held with the Red Chinese on up to 63 prisoners be lieved still held by the Commu nists.

CHICAGO (UP) -Democratic National Chairman Paul Mr Butler said Wednesday night he has "no intention" of - keeping Southern "rebels" out tof the party's 1356 convention. Butler thus lined up behind Ad lai E. Stevenson, the party's 1952 candidate, who said recently that the Democrats should take back "those who have strayed and re turn in good faith." ' Butler also had the implied sup port of Stephen A. Mitchell, the former party chairman who caused a controversy recently by saying three of the "rebels" should not be admitted as delegates to the convention. Butler made his statement at a news conference in' Mitchell's of fice after conferring with him all day. The two men . apparently reached agreement on .how to handle the Southern problem . VI have no right to keep anyone out of the 1936 convention and I have no intention of doing so," Butler said in stating his position. However, he emphasized that be would expect any delegate to next year's Chicago convention to sup port the party's nominee. W. Cameron said. "It's the ' answer to -all our prayers.

But when the big ''happiness plane", got into the Honolulu area it was directed to circle overhead so military officials - would have time to rush the fliers to Hickam. But when the Constellation tax ied down the runway nine minutes ahead of schedule the airman, ex cited as small boys with new bi cycles, were ready and waiting for their loved ones..

NICHOLS TJaitetl Press Staff Correspoadeat WASHINGTON (UP) I think maybe I might pack my galluses and run away to Cambodia. My new friend, Donald E. Reilly. of Auburndale, Mass., near Boston, says that living is right nice if you like fish and rice, which I dearly love. Don has just returned from an extended tour in Phnom .Penh, population 350,000. made up large ly of Chinese and Viet Namese. He is with the UJ5. Information Service. The Irishman said he never had it so goqd. " , it s tine, ne xoia me. "it you can stand humidity that s the only trouble." Don and three other bachelors had a cozy little hovel, which the government had leased. It cost the four of them, $125 a month total The electricity was extra, and a little expensive but the water was cheap. "When we could get.it," ReiHy said, "sometimes we had to run out on the street and buy it by the bucket" No War Scan " But what Reilly liked most about the city of Phnom Penh most was the fact that it never had been scarred by war. Wide avenues, stucco homes and so forth. -' ; But getting back to the hovel. ' "We had it made," Don said, "everything is so damp that noth ing erer lasts very long. So the government got us from Hong Kong a lot of furniture with foam rubber on the underside, so it wouldn't' rot We had tables that wouldn't give out with the humid ity. Not only that, we had a cook, a houseboy. and a laundry girt" Over there -the cattle add up to good steaks. They are lean crit ters, be said, but their hides resist the heat. They taste pretty, good. "Funny thing," the traveler said, "they don't milk cows in Cambodia. When a lady bovine has a blessed event, she feeds her calif and then she goes, dry. Milk- wise. We had canned milk when we had it at all." How about cabs, Mr. Reilly? "Well," he aaid. "there are no such things. They have-what is known as a.'cycloVIt looks some thing like a wheel chair shoved by a bike behind a little on the order of what you might see on the board walk rat Atlantic City, only foot-pumped." ' -,. , Dining Oat Cheap : And how about you .bachelors when you wanted an evening out, and how much did it cost? "Well," he said, "we get enoush of those cyclot and we go down to the French hoteL" For less than $2 each, he said, the party got soup and a fish dish. Then an en trie ; of either- poultry, meat, or water buffalo (which tastes like steak) and potatoes or tomatoes ' and some corn, plus dessert, and good coffee. "A bottle of; wine the cheap kind, Reilly said, "comes at a dollar a quart. ! The more expen sive kinds run up to five or six dollars." Tipping is 10 per cent, or less. "And," Reilly said, "the waiter doesn't run around with his hand out. He acts like oe doesn't care." RAIL ACCIDENT FATAL ABERDEEN, ; Wash. (UP) Steven N.
