Return of Mexican Commie
Leader Becomes 'X' Factor
Mexico City (U.P.) The
3 mysterious return of a former
Mexican Communist leader after
20 vears behind the Iron Curtain
hag become the "X" factor in
Mexican and. Latin American
Communist activities.
Evelio Vadllo, who was a
member of the central commit
tee of the Mexican Communist
Party when he went to Russia
"for one year" in 1935, denies he
came back t direct a Latin
American Communist network.
? He insists he was a "prisoner"
o the Soviets.
: Vadillo was back in Mexico a
,sno9th before rumors of his
presence started circulating,
some saying that he had been
a prisoner of the Reds and others
that he had been sent back by
Moscow.
''The one-time Red firebrand,
now soft-spoken and subdued -at
49, tells a confusing story of his
20-year absence but maintains he
has no "present" intention of
entering into any political or
union activities.
Vague on Charges i
He said he was jailed four
times and spent 12, years in dif
ferent Soviet prisons but con
sidered himself a prisoner the
entire" 20 years because he was
kept in Russia "against my will."
When asked to spell out the
charges on which he was impris
oned he was vS?gue.
''You have to understand the
Soviet regime," he said. "If you
ate, a Communist any disobedi
ence is punishable."
Whether or not Vadillo is still
' Communist remains in doubt.
'"I'm neither an anti-Communist
or a pro-Communist," is the
closest he has come to answering
theT.often-phrased question.
The bespectacled Vadillo is
hardly recognizable to veteran
Mexico City newsmen who re
member that he once was cred
ited with taking over a radio
station at gunpoint to broadcast
Communist propaganda. How
ever, this activity was never
proven.
Accused of Spying
Vadillo refuses to discuss his
political attitudes or his opinion
of the success of the Communist
program within Russia, plead
ing that he is "a little behind"
after 20 years behind the Iron
Curtain.
He said he served prison terms
in Russia on vague charges, in
cluding his portest at the refusal
of a, visa to return to Mexico,
and breaking a "work contract"
he had in an isolated Siberian
village.
In 1948, Vadillo said, he was
sentenced to 20 years in prison
without trial for "spying for the
Mexican government." He cred
ited the Mexican government
and the Mexican embassy in
Moscow with obtaining his free
dom with apologies from the
Russian government.
Before being sent directly to
Mexico City in a special plane,
Vadillo said he was hospitably
treated by the Russians who
took him on a tour of Moscow's
huge new University and mod
ern industrial, plants. The Rus
sians extracted no promises
from him and made no threats,
he added.
He says he has not been con
tacted by any of his former Com
munist friends since his return,
but Red circles here have been
circulating the rumor that his
"Communist . convictions are
firmer than ever."
Segregation Ban in Tax
Schools Block Reversal
Raleigh,'N. C. (U.R) The U.S.
Supreme Court's extension of
segregation bans to tax-supported
colleges blocked a major at
tempt to reverse the earlier rul
ing ordering segregation in pub
lic schools, state officials said to
day. North Carolina officials said
the court, by refusing to hear
oral arguments in a collegiate
integration case decided Monday,
thwarted a planned attack on
the historic decision of May 17,
1954.
State Attorney General Wil
liam B. Rodman Jr. said North
Carolina had invited other south
ern states to join in a major
effort to persuade the Supreme
Court to reverse itself.
Affirmed Lower Order
The court, without permitting
any attempt to reopen the Issue
of its decision outlawing public
school segregation, held Monday
that the decision also applies to
tax-supported colleges.
In handing down this ruling
the Supreme Court affirmed the
order of a lower federal tribunal
that the University of North

Supported
Attempt
Carolina must admit three Negro
applicants. The state had appeal

Rodman said he was "keenly
disappointed."
More Time Wanted
"We may try it some other
way, in some other case," Rod
man said.
Louisiana and South Carolina
had shown an interest in joining
in the case, he said, but other
southern states had not yet made
any decision. Their officials
"wanted more time" to decide,
he said.
Other attacks by southern
states have been confined to leg
islative action such as interposi
tion resolutions declaring the
'decisions null and void, or enact
ment of laws intended to evade
the decisions.
A Virginia constitutional con
vention today began revising
that state's basic law to allow
tuition grants from tax money
for private education as a means
of side-stepping enforced integration.

Red China Objects To Plan
For Celebration by Macao
.Washington Plans to cel

niversary of Portugal's China
colony, tiny Macau, have
ground to an abrupt end. Red
Ehina said "no."
Such festivies, Peiping made
known, would affront the Chinese-people.

Christianity first found foothold
in China.
Macau perches on a hilly
peninsula on the south China
coast facing Hong Kong across
the broad Pearl river estuary.
High grim hills of Red China
loom across its inner harbor.
Tear in Curtain
The colony's peephole location
and traditional neutrality in
international controversies have
tagged it the "Hole in the
Bamboo Curtain." A reputed
stamping ground of foreign
agents, smugglers, gol$ dealers
and .gamblers, Macau admits
swarms of Chinese from the
communist mainland. . The traf
fic is. overwhelmingly one way.
Frequently, Chinese officials
arrive for gambling and other
amusement. Ferries transport
hundreds from Canton. Many
come in junks and sampans.
These bearers of news from "the
other-side" are eyed curiously
by crowds at the pires. Many
of the newcomers dissolve into
the - colony's 3,000,000 inhab
itants. About 99 per cent of the pop
ulation is Chinese, packed into
an 'area three miles long and a
mile wide. TheGfew thousand
Portuguese are - mostly of fam
ilies generations old in the col
ony. They have a profound
attachment for Macau, once,
called "Gem of the Orient
Earth."
Many feel, however, the
weight of the Bamboo Curtain.
They remember yesteryear pic
nics on the mainland, trips to
Canton and boat rides on West
River (Si KiangX.
A squeeze attributed to embar
goes on strategic goods to China
is likewise felt by the present
economy. Macau now relies on
fisheries and making fire
crackers, matches, sauces,
Chinese slippers and textiles.
Many Chinese inhabitants eke a
livelihood as coolies or low-paid
piece workers. Dog racing and
bull fighting have been sug
gested as possible ways to at
tract new revenue.
Mixed Features
, However pinched it may feel,
Macau still retains a bustling
atmosphere of mixed Oriental
nd Portuguese manners and
customs. A modern metropolis
with traffic lights and neon
signs, it has shops displaying
United States and British-made
goods. Bicycles and pedicabs
weave along Avenida Almeida
Ribeiro, the business center
where the splashed colorings of
store signs attest to Chinese
dominance of - retail trade.
But for the . 300,000 lurks a
never-forgotten fact: most of
their- food comes from the
Chinese mainland. Though less
important, the city's firewood
also comes from China.

A Georgian warned that "some
one is going to get hurt" if racial
integration is forced upon schools
in his state.
The dispute broke out at a
spirited session of the 11th na
tional conference on higher edu
cation. Two hundred of more
than 1,000 educators attending
the conference turned out to hear
the conflicting views on racial
integration.
Call for Compliance
Northern college officials and
represntatives of Negro schools
called in varying degrees for
compliance with U. S. Supreme
Court rulings against segregation
in elementary schools and its de
cision Monday against segrega
tion in tax-supported colleges
and universities.
But they ran up against re
sistance from L. E. Roberts, pres
ident of Middle Georgia Junior
College at Cochran, and Lyman
Jones, professor of education at
Southeastern Louisiana Univer
sity and College.
"You can't force integration
down the throats of Georgia peo
ple," Roberts said. "Someone's
going to get hurt if you don't
take it easy."
Keep NAAC (National Associa
tion for the Advancement of
Colored People) out of the South
for a while and let the white
and colored people talk things
over," he pleaded.
Roberts predicted that racial1
integration will first take hold in
northern southern states and will
move down slowly into the deep
South. .
Jones said demands for immed
iate recial integration are not in
accord with the principles of
democracy.

Fortunately there is a source the honest op
