Red China's Campaign For U.N. Seat Slated For Quick Brush-Off Washington Editor Raps Rules Aimed At Limiting News Washington (U.R)J. R. Wig sins, executive editor of the Washington Post & Times Herald, has sharply criticized new Defense Department rules designed to limit the release of economic and technical informa tion by defense industries to the public. Wiggins, who is also chair man of the Freedom of informa tion Committee of the American Society of Newspaper Editors, said in a statement Friday night that the' regulations "threaten the access of American citizens to the facts about the nation's de fense." He said the rules "menace the democratic process." The Defense Department sug gested that defense industries "exercise considerable caution" in releasing economic and tech nical information even when it bears no military secrecy classifi cation. It said such information as contract awards, production methods, plant expansion and capacity, and research data might benefit enemy agents. Wiggins said the rules were "a standard for the release of information to which no people who mean to govern themselves ought to consent." Italian Ship Gets Mysterious Guard in Hawaii Honolulu U.R) The Italian freighter Silvia Onorato was en route to Vancouver, B.C. Satur day, apparently free of a myster ious security guard the U.S. Coast Guard threw around her when she docked in Honolulu. The ship was scheduled to sail i nballast for Vancouver early Saturday. Under Tight Guard The Silvia Onorato was placed under a tight guard when she .arrived here Monday, bearing a load of lumber -from the Pacific Northwest. A Coast Guard patrol boat trailed her into port. The Coast Guard was tight- lipped about the security guard and referred all questions to Washington. "Action in this case i taken at the direction of the commandant iit furtherance of the port securi ty program as provided by the Magnuson act and executive or der 10173," the Coast Guard said Since the Silvia Onorato docked here, she has been guard ed constantly by three armed guardsmen on the dock and patrol boat cutting a constant pattern of figure eights on the water side. Even the crew members were unable to explain the Coast Guard's action. First Mate Robert Ambrosino said the crew and officers have been allowed to ccme and go freely between ship and shore and Coast Guardsmen have never visited the crew's quarters or spoken to any crewman. Cargo Inspected He said a 12-man Coast Guard squad came aboad the ship when it docked Monday and closely inspected the lumber cargo They left after the inspection he said, without contacting the crew. A United Press reporter who went aboard the vessel Friday was asked by a husky Coast Guardsman to show his creden tials, but was not otherwise im peded. The Silvia Onorato is com manded by Capt. Amilcare Maz- zeo.fWho won notice in 1953 as "Captain Petroleum Pirate" for his skill in running a British naval blockade in the Persian Gulf during the Anglo-Iranian oil dispute. Phoenix Grange Phoenix Grange met in regu lar session Sept. 13, with a small attendance due to the fruit har vest. The charter was draped in loving memory of Sister Luman, and a message of sympathy was sent to the Upper Applegate Grange which recently lost their hall by fire. Agriculture Chairman Charles Hockersmith operated a light hay and grain crop, also an in teresting field day at the experi ment station. During the lecture hour Olive By BRUCE W. MUNN United Press Correspondent United Nations, N. Y. (U.R) Red China's campaign for a United Nations seat, is slated for a quick kiss-off again at the start of the General Assembly session opening here next Tues day. The United States, with firm backing from Britain and most of its other Western allies, will introduce a resolution calling upon the Assembly to give no consideration to the question of China's representation for the remainder of the year. Similar resolutions have been adopted, at American insistence, at the past three assemblies, al though by diminishing major ities. Last year's vote was 43-11, with Burma, Denmark, India, Norway, Sweden and Yugoslavia joining the Soviet bloc in opposi tion and Afghanistan, Egypt, In donesia, Saudi Arbia, Syria, and Yemen abstaining. This year's favorable majority was expected to be less, but still comfortable. Application Not Required The Peiping regime does -not have to apply for U.N. member ship and, indeed, has not done so directly. China is a perman ent member of the U.N. Security Council and the only question involved is whether the world organization recognizes the Na tionalist regime of Chiang Kai shek or the Moscow-aligned Red regime as its rightful govern ment. But the Reds have persisted in their efforts to gain the China seat in the United Nations and their persistence is one of the great tributes to the moral pow er of the 60-nation organization. The Peiping regime wants rep resentation here for many rea sons: - 1. So long as it is excluded, it is outside the pale of the family of nations and its propogandizing as 'the only legal government" of China suffers. 2. It is engaged, notably with India, in a struggle for the politi cal leadership of Asia and to have no voice in the United Na tions is a damaging blow to its prestige. 3. U.N. membership would give it recognition as one of the five great powers and place it in better position for political and economic bargaining with the other powers. 4. U.N.. membership would re move although not necessarily automatically Peiping's con demnation as an aggressor for its part in the Korean War. Embargo Ax Stake 5. By the same token it would remove the embargo placed against it by the United Nations on shipment of any strategic goods. Thus, politically, economical ly and from the prestige stand point so vital in world politics generally and those of the Orient in particular, Red China stands to gain immensely if it can oust the Nationalists from China's U.N. seat. U.N. membership obviously is one of the- "practical matters" the Chinese Communists ' want to discuss with the United States at Geneva,' where the release of American prisoners has been ne gotiated recently. But Wash ington served notice this week that its attitude has not changed by rejecting a Red Chinese re quest for a meeting between Sec retary of State John Foster Dulles and Peiping Premier Chou En-lai. Twenty Injured in Cable Car Mishap San Francisco (U.R) Twenty persons were injured Friday night when one of San Fran cisco's ancient cable cars, jam med with 60 passengers, plunged out of control for three blocks down steep Nob Hill and heeled over on a sharp curve. However, police said none of the victims was badly injured. All were treated f or cuts and bruises and sent home. Witnesses said the accident was apparently caused by a brake failure. They said the small open-sided dinky raced down the hill in a shower of sparks from the useless brake shoe while the gripman fought the brakes and a gallant passenger frantically clanged the. bell. . Don Roosendaal, 25, who stayed at the bell until the crash, said the car slowed somewhat by the time it hit the corner and did not turn completely over thus the passengers who were thrown to the street escaped, be ing crushed. Excess speed was blamed for 12,380 traffic deaths and in juries to 659,000 persons in the United States during 1954.
