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.

Determined Artist Starts
Work To Improve Works

termined artist whose first
try at oil painting drew re
serted praise for his "feeling
for color" in a municipal art
exhibit today worked at im
proving his technique.
Rajah Chandra, after turn
ing out more than 750 water
color paintings, switched to
oils after seeing a Van Gogh
exhibit and being impressed
with the burning colors used
by the old master.
Rajah's initial effort, "Cafe
Laor," an abstract, was riew
ed by some 20,000 viewers at
an exhibit of some 1,800
works and drew praise even
from the director of the show.
When the "nonrestriciive"
exhibit closed it was revealed
that Rajah is a four-year-old
Asian dwarf parrot with one
brush with his claws or beak.
His owner is a lovely young
commercial illustrator. Miss
Chandra Poweris. Miss Pow
eris explains that her pet
works with small pots of paint
while his canvas lies on the
floor, tilled slightly.
"He attends all the art
shows with me and just went
mad over a recent Van Gogh
exhibit with its vivid coloring."
Miss Poweris says many hu
man painters of the abstract
among her friends have ex
pressed Interest in Rajah's
work.
"The last exhibit wa,t Raj
ah's ninth show and he has
yet to win a prize," explains
Miss Poweris. "He really has
a squawk coming."

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.
Army io Replace Personnel of Depot
Washington (W Sen. Rich
ard L. 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.
"The Department informs me"
Neuberger said, "that reductions
in maintenance and operation
funds frequently result in reduc
tion of personnel, although such
action at the depot has not yet
been decided upon."
