American Students On Tour Meet Youth Captured in Korea Br LARRY MOYER Written lor United Presi Peiping, China API Tour ing American youths Monday met another American who came to Peiping the hard way. Captured in the Korean war, he now is a Peiping university student. He is Morris Wills. 24, Fort Ann, Lake George, N.Y., who was taken prisoner at the 38th parallel In Korea in 1951. Members of the American youth delegation in China paid a visit to Wills at the university where he is a student of Chinese literature. They dined together in the university cafeteria while Wills recounted his experiences and opinions of jChina. "Before coming to China I had some primitive ideas about the Chinese people wearing pig tails and acting the way they are portrayed in movies and comic strips," Wills said. "I like it here and like the people," he said. "I want to complete my studies." Eugene Bronstein, 24, a stu dent from New York City on the American youth tour, asked Wills if Chinese feel any hostil ity toward Americans. "No, not toward the average American" he replied. "But they don't like the American govern ment's policy toward socialist countries." The young ex-GI. tAen pris oner by the Chinese when he was only 18, expressed the opin ion that many improvements af fecting the life of the ordinary citizen have taken place since his arrival especially In food, dress, construction and a rise in industrial capacity. Homesick Occasionallr In support of his claims. Wills said, "The Chinese make their own cars and planes now." Asked whether he wants to return to the U. S., and when, he said, "Well, I get a little homesick once in a while but I have no definite plans for re turning home right now. "I'll return only after finish ing my studies," he said. "I miss the physical comforts, but aside from that, not much." He and the American visitors sat talking long after their din ner of roast peking duck, stew ed beef, and bamboo shoots with ham, butterfly shrimp and other delicacies was finished. Wills posed for photographers and newsreel men accompanying the American tour. The Ameri cans are leaving Peiping Thurs day to visit other Chinese cities including Chanchun, D a i r e n, Tientsin and Wuhan.

WASHtNOTON I I Heivtlbera J BEER r' Bill Killed lo Stop Military 'Grabbing' Washington OB An objection from a lone congressman has apparently killed a bill to pre vent military "grabbing" of pub lic land. Eep. Walter S. Baring (D-Nev.) blocked action on the bill in the House when Eep. Clair Engle (D-Calif.) author of the measure, asked for unanimous consent Monday to concur in a Senate amendment. The amendment would ex clude the huge Sawhave Gun nery Range in Nevada from pro visions of the bill, which speci fies that the military must get congressional approval for with drawal of more than 5,000 acres of public owned property. The Navy is seeking to add an additional 1,100,000 acres to the 400,000 it already is using for the gunnery range in Ne vada's Pershing county. Both the House and Senate have passed the bill but it was sent back to the House after the Senate Interior committee at tached the Sawhave amendment.

Neuberger (D-Ore.), said Tuesday he had been advised by the department of the i Army that an attempt would be made to place as many of the person nel of the Ordnance Ammuni tion depot in Umatilla county elsewhere in event of reduction in force. The reduction might result from the Secretary of Defens directive cutting expenditures for the current quarter of the fiscal year by $125,000.
