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

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.

Leader Says Lack
OfWarWithU.S.
Deletes Question
Djakarta, Indonesia (U.R)
Communist China is not willing
to negotiate a Formosan "cease
fire" agreement with the United
States, Red Chinese Premier
Chou En-lai was quoted as say
ing in the Indonesian press to
day. "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."
