Hong Kong - (UPD - A noted
Indian population expert said
today Communist China is a
"huge zoo."
Dr. S. Chandrasekhar, who
recently completed a six-week
tour of Communist China con
ducting research on Red
China's economic, social and
academic life, said everyone
on the China mainland was
like an animal doing what he
was told to do.
The one-time director of the
Demographic Research Insti
tute of the United Nations
Economic and Social Council
declared that the Chinese are
sacrificing their personal free
dom for China. Demography

Chandrasekhar said he
toured China not as a Indian
official and he was not a guest
of the Communist govern
ment. Prussia of Asia'
The American-educated stat
istician said he visited 12 ma
jor Chinese cities and four
newly established people's
communes, and his impression
of the mainland was that "I
can almost thing of 30 million
Chinese troops goose-stepping
and China will become the
Prussia of Asia."
He said the Communists
could achieve this if they con
tinued the present pace of
their national reconstruction
tinued to add at an annual
rate of between 13 and 14
million to the present 650
million people who are living
on the mainland.
Say China Unpopulated
Although the Communists
assured him that the huge
population was really no prob
lem to the Peiping govern
ment, Chandrasekhar said he
thought life in Communist
China could be better if
there were fewer people.
He said Communist officials
told him however, that "China
is underpopulated."
He added the Communists
had claimed that "China has
lots of virgin land and uncul
tivated soil to feed and clothe
a population double its pres
ent size.
Of the communes, Chand
rasekhar said while the basic
needs of life were assured,
the communal life has wiped
away all traces of traditional
Chinese family life.

Is That So?
By the end of this month
practically all antelope in the
country will look very dif
ferent from the way they did
two months ago, and it won't
be because of a change of coat
but simply because they've
lost their horns. "
The pronghprn antelope
has its rutting season in th'e
fall. The older ones shed
their horns usually by Nov
ember, the younger ones
somewhat later.
How they lose them is that
the new horns growing in ac
tually push the old ones off.

hairy growth remains. The

on exposure to the air, chang
ing into a horny substance.
On the inside, the haiiy ma
terial stays, binding the in
ner and outer parts together.
As one might suspect, this
process leaves growth rings
on the horn so that it is pos
sible to tell the age of the
animal by counting them. '
The business of shedding
his horns is probably not as
painful to the antelope as it
is to the deer. It is gradual.
No wounds are left. Most
deer, however, break their
horns off, leaving angry sores
at the base.
And very likely there Is
another advantage in it for
the antelope. Because his
horns are replaced by a con
version of the core, much
less energy is required for
the process than in the case of
the deer who must grow an
entire new set. Quite possibly
because there is not such a
great drain on the antelope
for horn production, that is
the reason why he is a far
speedier animal than the
deer and has vastly greater
jumping power.
Faster Than Deer
In any case, it is a fact that
the antelope's speed is great
er than that of the deer or
any of the predators. Indeed,
it is so great that up to the
1840's the numbers of them
in the West were possibly
greater than those of the buf
falo. As nearly as can be esti
mated their population then
totaled between 30 and 40
million. There were herds of
them so vast that antelope
trails have been found in
which their hooves have worn
away the ground to a depth
of eight or ten inches.
But the speed of the ante
lope is probably the chief
cause for his numbers having
been cut to a present popula
tion of maybe 30,000. It gave
him such a feeling of secur
ity that he felt he could in
dulge his curiosity about the
white man as he could about
other predators. And he
could have, too, except that
the white hunters had high
powered rifles.
