.r iflr Friday, June 10, 1953 MEDFORD (OREGON) MAIL TRIBUNE WWEM Red China Hot Willing To Negotiate Cease Fire, Chou Quoted as Saying American Soldiers Due To Leave Austria Rush To Adopt Babies Salzburg, Austria U.R) The scheduled withdrawal of U.S. oc cupation troops from Austria has brought about a deluge of re quests from childless American Army couples here for adoption of illegitimate Austrian babies, welfare officials said today. Mrs. M. F Schantl, head of the Salzburg welfare office, said the clamor to adopt children to take back to .the United States was unprecedented. "Adoptions have averaged two or three babies a week in recent years," Mrs. Schantl said. "This morning there were 20 applica tions on my desk all from Americans." To Leave Austria - The American occupation forces are due to leave Austria 90 days after the Austrian state treaty is ratified by the Big Four powers and Austria. They prob ably will pull out around Oc tober. Many of the illegitimate chil dren were fathered by Ameri can soldiers. A number of the unwed mothers are registered prostitutes, Mrs. Schantl said. "The American couples who come to us for adoptions often display little interest in the background of the rea parents," she said. - "Just so the child is healthy and good looking One mother told me she wanted a baby even if its father was a Russian." One American wile has ap plied for permission to adopt three Austrian babies, including one not yet born. Most Applicants Alike "Most of the applicants are alike in one respect," Mrs. Schantl said. "They do not want to be Introduced to the child's 2 Phone 3-1733 Flowers Giffs 26 SOUTH .CENTRAL real mother, or even to see her.' Each adoption application must be approved by an Aus trian court and written consent must be obtained from the real mother. When American Army couples are involved, the Army must also approve the adoption and the U.S. State Department must issue a visa for the baby, In addition to the adoption re quests, the U.S. Army reports a big boom in requests by soldiers for permission to wed Austrian sweethearts. The Army, has placed a June 16 deadline on marriage applications Red China Expels American Bishop Hong Kong (U.R) The Chi nese Communists today expelled American Catholic Bishop Fred erick A. Donaghy on charges of subversive activities. The middle-aged American bishop from Fall River, Mass., crossed into Hong Kong at 1:30 p.m., boarded, a train for Kow loon and arrived at 4 p.m. A crowd of priests and nuns greeted him as he stepped off the train and one by one knelt and kissed the bishop's ring. Donaghy looked tired, but he appeared in good condition, gen erally. The bishop asked newsmen to wait for a day or two before in terviewing him. He did say, however, that three days ago the Chinese summoned him and told him he was guilty of subversive activities and was to be expelled. He was brought to the Hong Kong border under guard. Bishop Donaghy was first ar rested at Wuchow in Kwangsi Province on Christmas Day, 1950, and was jailed for six months. When he was released from prison he was restricted to the city limits. He had been in Wuchow ever since. buys a V'r . eqeare 0ft high when Mom ANNIVERSARY SPECIAL Giant 124 lb.

"Since there is no war be tween China and the United States the question of a cease fire does not arise," Chou said. "Still less can it be used as a prerequisite for the negotiation." Chou made his statement in an interview on June 2 when he talked to newsmen who accom pained Indonesian Premier Ali Sastroamidjojo on his recent trip to Peiping. Familiar Assertions The interview was published today both in Indonesia and Red China. Peiping's New China news agency also broadcast the interview. It contained the fa miliar Communist propaganda assertions. Chou was asked if China would accept a cease fire in For mosa in order to speed negotia tions on Formosa between the Peiping regime and the United States. "Taiwan (Formosa) is China's territory," Chou said. "The lib eration of Taiwan by the Chi nese people is a question of China's internal affairs. The oc cupation of Taiwan by the Uni ted States has created tension in the Taiwan area. That is an in ternational question between China and the United States These two questions should not be confused one with the other, "In line with its consistent stand for peaceful settlement of international disputes, China has on its part clearly indicated that the Chinese government is will ing tp sit down and negotiate with the U.S. government in order to ease and eliminate ten sion in the Taiwan area. Welcomes Good Offices "China welcomes the render ing of good offices by countries which are concerned about the situation in this area, especially those countries friendly to China to facilitate the realization of this negotiation." This was an obvious reference to the recent efforts by India to bring the United States and Red China together for a peaceful solution to the Formosa ques tion. Chou emphasized that the For mosa question was "purely a matter of internal affairs" for China. He warned that if "there should be participation and in tervention by foreign armed forces, international conflict would result and that is pre cisely what we have always opposed."
