Slate Department
Preparing Paper
On Bad Treatment
Washington (U.R) The
State Department ois preparing
a white paper on the "cruel and
inhuman" treatment of Ameri
can prisoners by the Chinese
Communists, it was learned Sat
urday.
American officials made the
disclosure after the two coun
tries traded bitter statements on
exchange of prisoner negotia
tions at Geneva. They said this
country will continue with the
negotiations despite the dispute,
Red China started the contro
versy Thursday When it charged
the United States with violating
an agreement to exchange civil
ians and demanded the names
of all Chinese in the United
States.
The State Department replied
in a strongly worded statement
Friday night. It charged the
Communists have broken their
word ito free all Americans in
Red China and noted that 14
U.S. citizens still are held there
The statement also charged the
Reds with "Cruel and Inhuman
Treatment" of American prison
ers.
-In this connection, American
officials said the department is
collecting all the information it
can on the mistreatment of Am
erican prisoners by th Reds.
Onrp all thp nrisoners are re-
5;ased, this information presum
ably would be included in a for
mal white paper and published
for world consumption. This
country apparently wants all the
nations, of the world to know ex
actly how the Reds treat their
prisoners.

and back east to Vancouver. The

secretary for Sen. Herman "Welk
er (R-Idaho) said - Saturday . a
champagne "bon voyage" party

even" with Welker.
In a telephone ' conversation
from ' his Washington : office to
the Idaho Evening Statesman,
Boise, Jim Hayden said the Sen
ator, his wife and daughter,
Nancy, "were completely sur
prised and amazed" when top
leaders of the International
Longshoremen's Associat ion
gave them a fancy sendoff on
their West . Indies and South
American cruise.
Shortly after Welker boarded

his family in New York Friday,

organizing director; Harry Cash
in, waterfont boss who once
spent seven months in Sing Sing

Group Captain John Cunning
ham, at the controls, held the
plane to about 380 miles per
hour, . well under its possible
sustained speed of 550 to 560
MPH.
Smooth Trip
The trip was smooth in mostly
sunny weather with some clouds
and haze. Among the guests were
two retired Royal Canadian Air
Force Air Vice-Marshals and a
former president of the Canad
ian National railway: Leigh
Stevenson, A. T.. Cowley and
W. N. Neal respectively..
Several government represent
atives were invited but were
unable to make the. trip. - The
rest of the guests were, from
business firms and the press.
The comet . jet, which . broke
three speed records in its round-the-world
shake-down .cruise,
arrived here Friday from Hon-
olu, and is due to leave for
Toronto, Ont, Sunday at 7:30
a.m. (PST). The trip east will
take about - four hours.
An official of the DeHavilland
Co. on the world flight confided
that the crew would be., glad
to get back to England Dec. 22.
The exhaustive tests on the plane
and the endless details of ar
ranging the trip have cut into
sleep and tired both the officials
and the technicians.
Well Satisfied
DeHavilland experts said the"y
were well satisfied with the
plane's performane so far. The
Comet III is a development
proto-tpye of the Comet IV,
which will go into service in
1959 under the banner of British
Overseas Airways Corp. It is
expected to be the first jet air
liner in service, except for the
Comet I, which was grounded
in 1954 after two disastrous
crashes.
The chief impression on the
passengers was the remarkable
lack of vibration and noise. The
only sound in the cabin was the
air conditioning, which changes
the air every 40 seconds, and
vibration was virtually non
existant. Half of Gas Line
Has Been Finished
Portland (U.R) Half the
pipeline which will bring natu
ral gas to the Pacific Northwest

pipeline had reached the point
that Portland could be assured
of a natural gas supply by Aug.
1 of next year.

Canadian end of the internation
al pipeline, thus increasing the
volume of gas to be delivered to
northwest markets.
