"The. wiyea themselves have np birth certificates and no marriage licenses, It's dif ficult to prove they were ever, married. Many bona ' fide American citizens cannot get their legal wives into . the United States." Not many Chinese-Americans go to Taiwan (Formosa) to get their brides, Gim said. For one thing, the supply of unmarried women on the is land' is not as plentiful. But the main reason, he said, is that most Chinese-Americans are of South Chinese lineage and they want wives from South China. Hong Kong has them' and Taiwan does. not. Congolese Masses Are Easily Fooled (Editor's not! A Roman Catholic million is sacked and burned in the Congo. A. priest is killed and mutilated. Another is knifed. Nuns arc attacked.

In the fol lowing dispatch a . priest answers the question: Where are the Christians in the Congo : chaos?) .'-:'', t , By GEORGE . WEEKS -United Press International ' Washington-OJPO-Why . is it that Catholic missionaries, after five centuries of work In- the Congo, are unable to stem today's tide of violence there and are in fact victims of it? ; . "A legiiiniate . question," said the Rev. John A. Bell of the White Fathers, a .Cath olic missionary . group' being persecuted in, 'the. T Congo where there' are more Cath olics than in any other Afri can nation. "A third of the population of the Congo is Catholic," he said. "But Congolese masses, like all 'masses, can be easily fooled. Communist terrorism is having ' more impact on the , current situation than Christian ,, preaching." , . According to the informa tion Bureau of the National Catholic Welfare Conference, "Five centuries of mission ary work have given , the church a , strong position : in the Congo." But Father Bell said, large scale missionary work was not started until the 1020's. He said religious persecution in the eastern Congo indicates the area may soon fall entirely under Com munist rule.' .'"

But he feared further ha rassment of priests. He said pro-Communist officials have been trying to persuade mis sionaries to leave voluntarily "so . they can be discredited as : having . abandoned the country in the time of need."

Two students' comments il lustrated this Image, of the scientist.

It pro vides both meat and drink. . Coconut Cracking. The per son who buys a coconut for the first time wants to know how to get at the meat and milk. There are three soft spots at the top of the shell. Pierce these with an Ice pick and drain the milk. Then tap all over with a hammer until the hard shell cracks and falls off. Another way to break off the shell is to heat the coconut in the oven for 30 minutes or so at 350 degrees. , Using a sharp knife or pre ferably a vegetable peeler, cut coconut meat Into thin strips. Arrange in layer on shallow pan or cookie sheet. Sprinkle lightly with salt, it desired. Toast in a slow oven, 300 de grees, until golden brown, watching to prevent too deep browning as coconut crisps. ; There seems to be a clear ly defined stereotype of the scientist among college stu dents as well as among high school students, David C.
