Hope Felt for Americans
Held by Chinese Reds
A-Plane Seen
In Six Years
WASHINGTON W Robert Le-
Baron, a government atomic spe
cialist, predicted Monday that the
United States will have an air
plane driven by nuclear power
within six or seven years.
LeBaron is chairman of the
Military Liaison Committee to the
Atomic Energy Commission but
he devoted most of a copyrighted
interview with the Magazine U. S.
News and World Report to a dis
cussion of peacetime uses of
atomic energy.
He did say, however, that work
is proceeding on development of
an atomic-powered airplane, on a
somewhat longer schedule than
the nuclear submarine due for
testing this summer.
By WARREN FRANKLIN
or The Associated Press
NEW YORK llPl-The families of
Americans imprisoned in Commn
nist China held guarded hopes
today that a small concession
wrung from Red delegates to the
Geneva conference might mean
their eventual release and return
to freedom.
Wang Ping-nan, a member of
the Communist Chinese delega
tion, promised possible action by
the Peiping government on Amer
icans witn records ot "good be
havior" and the privilege of cor
responding with and receiving
mail and packages from home.
The concession was also the
first open admission that the
Communist Chinese hold or have
imprisoned 122 Americans, in
cluding Richard Applegate, 42,
Medford, Ore., of the National
Broadcasting Co. and former Uni
ted Press correspondent; Donald
Dixon, 26, New York, of the In
ternational News Service; and
Benjamin Krasner, 31, Brooklyn,
ship captain.
FATE STILL UNKNOWN
The three men were captured in
Applegates' yacht, the Kert, in
international waters between
Hong Kong and Portuguese Macao
on March 21, 1953, by a Chinese
gunboat.
Peiping and Moscow have re
mained silent about their fate,
They disappeared mysteriously
behind the Bamboo Curtain after
the 42-foot yacht was seized and
towed to Lap Sap Mei Island, five
miles southwest of Hong Kong.
Rumors and clandestine reports
from "travelers" involved in the
intrigue and underground of Hong
Kong have provided only conflict
ing clues to their whereabouts
perhaps Peiping or Canton.
The promise from Geneva has
brought new hope to their long
waiting families who wonder
what the Reds mean by "good be
havior" and who realize that
Communists are ruthless and do
not do humanitarian deeds for
nothing.
BELIEVES SON SAFE
Mrs. Ditchik, whos has never
stopped believing that her son is
safe, has sent registered letters,
Christmas cards and birthday
cards by registered airmail ad
dressed to him to cities through
out Red China. There is nothing
to indicate Dixon has received
anything. Only one letter come
back.
In Medford, Ore,, home of Ap-
plcgate's parents, Mr. and Mrs.
Frank Applegate have sent three
recent letters to him through
Huang Ho, Red Chinese repre
sentative at Geneva.
OLD OREGON FAMILY
Applegate's father also mailed
another letter last Sunday in care
of the Chinese Red Cross in Pei
ping. No packages have been sent
yet; Mrs. Applegate said she had
not heard of that offer.
"Dick's birthday was this
week," Mrs. Applegate said, "and
it is only the second time I have
never sent him anything."
Mr. and Mrs. Applegate, mem
bers of a pioneer Oregon family
who will celebrate their golden
anniversary this summer, are
hopeful that public opinion may
help to sway the Communists
And they hope that word of
petition for her son's release, al
ready signed by more than 10,
000 persons in Southern Oregon
will have reached the Red dclcga
tions in Geneva.
