(UPI Telephoto)' Refuge From China Has Been Haven for Genturies Macao -rtiPD-Refugees from Communist China ar nothing new to this ancient city. For centuries it has served a sanctuary for thole in need Started as a settlement a little over 400 years ago, Ma cao was the second most im portant city in southern Chi na, second only to Canton, for more than 300 years. But the days of sailing ships pass ed and deep draft ships could not call on Macao's shallow harbor. , ' - i Today about 200,000 people live in Macao and- the Portuguese-controlled islands . of Taipa and Cologne. Mora than one-third are refugees from mainland China.- ... The fame of Macao as a sanctuary was not' born with the occupation of the main land by the Communist re gime. From the very begin ning of its existence it was considered a haven for refu gees and the poor.

By assessing the success of this effort, it is possible to gain some insight into the overall program. The trend today in Red China appears to be much the same as it was in Moscow -where African students label ed the Kremlin's Institute for Foreign Students as an apar theid university. Reports from Moscow told of Afro - Asian students walking Out of their classrooms because ' Russians refused to attend the school. Brainwashing . . Disenchantment with Com munist Chinese scholarship colleges came for a different reason. Former students who have returned from hehind the Bamboo Curtain tell of brainwashing, of manual la bor, of food shortages and of low educational standards, -- Four. Sudanese' students re turned home from Peiping University disgusted with their treatment,. Only one stayed behind. , ; v i They were Sudan's .first group et students to go 1 to felplng. . 1 1 , ; , . ' Reports published by the Singapore Immigration De partment shed some light on the waning attraction of free studies offered -by the Reds, The report showed that in 1937, 893 Chinese students left Singapore to seek their educational fortunes in Com. munist China; in 1059 the number declined to 212, and last year it was 152. The Singapore figure may not necessarily imply whole sale decline of Red China's prestige with the overseas Chinese communities in South east Asia. But it is readily agreed that the overseas Chi nese are among the most in terested and the most critical judges of China's position.- in Hong Kong, the British government said there has been "a persistent decline" In the numbers of students from the British colony migrating into Communist China during the last three years.

Refugee knocking at its door from period to period hav continually put a very heavy burden on the city, but never in its history has Macao ever been known to refuse sanctuary to anyone in need. During World War II, Ma cao was one of the few cities in the Far East not occupied by Japanese forces. ' It also was the only place where the flags of the United Kingdom, the United States and other Allies were hoisted.. . . ' At that time, the population increased to . about . 650,000 people, the highest in its 400- .year history. , Economically, Macao faced many crises, but one way or another survived its dark pe riods and now is.- forging anead with progress In both industrial and - commercial fields. . . , ' . . Last year will be remem bered as a year of progress in which local businessmen saw for the first time some fruits from their big investments. until two or . three years ago Hong Kong businessmen did hot look at Macao with much interest, but things changed recently and today this city has a total of 381 factories, practically all of them established to produce products for Portuguese over seas provinces in Africa. Macao has many wonders to show tourists. The most ad mirable landmark of the city is tne lamous ruins of the St. Paul church, a facade that proudly withstood the buffet ing of typhoons, tempests and the ravages of time. The church was. erected between 1594 and 1602. The stons fa cade which stands today was completed about 1637. The artisans were Japanese Christians, and the facade was considered a wonder of the time. Among other" Interesting places are Guia Lighthouse, the first lighthouse built on the Chinese coast; Barrier Gate, which separates Macao from Communist China; the Grotto of Camoes, where ac cording to tradition, Luis de Camoes, the prince of Portu guese poets, wrote part of bis epic poem "Os Lusiadas;" the Municipal House; the Holy House of Mercy, and the Kun Yan Temple, where the first treaty between the United States and China was signed. There is a stone table in- Summer Youth Camp Bill Goes To Governor Salem - dsn - A $50,000 appropriation to put some 50 boys to work In summer for est camps passed the House and headed for the Governor's desk Wednesday. Several opponents declar ed the 31-24 vote was a mis count, and -moved to -chal lenge, but signs were the bill would stay passed. Thirty-one votes are need ed for passage. Rep. C. R. Hoyt of Corval lis said he was listed among mose voting lor the bill when he actually voted against it. but he failed to correct the error when the clerk recapped me vote. , . ii a reconsideration were ordered, at least one of the five members absent during me morning roll call said he would vote for the measure, giving it the necessary ma. jorlty. The pilot summer work camp program, urged by Eu gene Sen. Robert Straub. would put teen-age boys to work clearing streams, tend ing forests and building rec reational facilities. Advantage for Stat Supporters declared such a program would give Oregon an advantage in obtalnina federal grants if a federal youth conservation corps is approved. Opponents called the state program ridiculously costly. The camps, probably two the first two summers, would be supervised by the state forestry department. Counties would have to chip In funds to participate in the program. A good part of the money the first year would be used for equipment. Rep. Richard Eymann. who carried the bill in the House, said if Its cost increases in the future it will be because the program "is worthwhile . . . an advantage to our young sters and our natural re sources." , side the temple on which Caleb Cushing, for the U.S. government, and Viceroy Yi, for China, signed the treaty July 3, 1841. People in many parts of the world wonder how Por tugal still retains this city situated at the mouth of Pearl River. The secret of the Por tuguese lies with the history of Macao itself.
