By FRANK H. BARTHOLOMEW President United Presi International Hong Kong - WPH - The 'Horse Sense on Highways Urged Washington WPli - The chair man of the president's com mittee on employment of the physically handicapped has issued a safety warning well in advance of the three-day Fourth of July holiday. Maj. Gen. Melvin J. Maas (Ret.) advised persons plan ning a long weekend trip dur ing the holiday period to use a liberal amount of "horse en.:e" when on the highways. He cautioned that a happy holiday can be turned into lifelong tragedy if vacation ers "forget the automobile can be as lethal a weapon as high-powered rifle and that a small firecracker can be as crippling as any disease." The retired Marine gen eral said if statistics hold true 400 persons will be killed in auto accidents. But the real tragedy, he (aid, will be the three per sons permanently or severely disabled for every one killed. Maas urged all citizens to observe the laws and have a "safe and sane Fourth." I mainland of China will have I a thousand million inhabitants by the end of the current cen tury. 'This sobering thought for the West, and for the Krem lin in considering Uie tenure of its present position as boss of world Communism, was presented to United Press In ternational here today by men who guide the destinies of this British crown colony. It is Mrs. Neuberger Raps Postal Move Oceanlake UP0 Mrs. Mau rine Neuberger today criti cized plans to transfer re gional post office head quarters from Portland to Seattle. Mrs. Neuberger, Democratic candidate for the U.S. Senate, called the action "ill - timed and ill-advised." She said she was Informed that more than 170 Oregon families, most of whom own their homes, would be com pelled to move to Seattle. "The economy of Oregon, already lagging behind the national average, will suffer further from this ill-considered shift of a substantial pay roll which for several years has functioned satisfactorily In Oregon," she said.

The problem of the future of Hong Kong itself, part of it on the mainland of China and all of it under a self-described "benevolent a u t o c racy" which will not tolerate the Communist party in gov ernment, or free general elec tions either for that matter, is not the primary concern of Hong Kong's head men at this lime. Concerned With Present "You must have faith in the permanency of this West ern city, which seems to exist by sufferance of the Com munist world," this correspon dent suggested to a high po litical source. Estimation of future politi cal developments is not the primary responsibility of the "We have three million peo ple here, among litem a mil lion refugees, whose welfare must be looked after today," this official said. The help extended the mil lion refugees is in the form of housing, employment in new industries coming into being for that purpose, edu cation and medical aid. Wealthy Chinese Invest Permanency of West em control of Hong Kong, with its record prosperity and tre mendous new skyline of sky scraping modern construc tions, was commented upon right as long as the wealthy Chinese themselves keep on invest ing." he said. "If they ever slop, then the storm warnings will be flying for all to read." There is no sign now of diminishment of the intense activity in apartment house construction, the erection of great modern office buildings, nor in the teeming harbor -with ships of all nations com peting for anchorage. The future of Hong Kong, show-place of capitalistic pros perity at one of the Com munism's main gateways, is complicated by the fact lhat part of the city occupies land leased from the Chinese gov- Rl'itish 1 rrnmpnl nn a pnnlr.i.l .vni,. ' Ing 26 years hence. The British blandly deny lhat they are discriminating against the Communist party even though Communist China is their landlord, by pointing out that while the Communists are not permitted to participate in the govern ment, neither is any other political parly. The governmental system of the crown colony can hardly be described as demo cratic, since there are no gen eral elections, and individuals can be and are held without trial other than a periodic re view by the government of the charges against them. Against this background, the administrators point to the fact that there is no civil strife or unrest here comparable to that in Japan, where the Al lied occupation powers gave the Communist party legal status for' the first time in the history of the empire. The city remains a mecca (or the discontented among the millions in the surround ing world of Communism. Immigration has been dras tically curtailed because of overcrowded conditions here; the water supply, for in stance, is rationed to 10 hours out of the 24. Still desperate refugees continue to swim the , river, tramp across the hills and arrive in numbers averag ing 100 each day.
