Hi MEDFORD MAIL TRIBUNE. MEDFORD, OREGON WEONEbUAY. JULY 24. 1963 B 11 Peking's Effort To Woo Overseas Chinese Harmed by Moscow Split By ARTHUR J. DOMMEN Hong Kong - OIPD - The open split between Peking and Moscow has apparently seriously undermined the Red Chinese persistent effort to "woo the important commu nity of more than 18 million Chinese living abroad, prin cipally in Southeast Asia. As a consequence of its in creasingly obvious isolation from the largest "have" coun try in the Communist world, Peking is now giving reas surances to the "overseas Chi nese" that it can produce enough foodstuffs, industrial and consumer goods to sur vive on its own. Letters received here from Chinese friends and relatives in Southeast Asian countries reveal a general perplexity about the present predica ment of Communist - run China. There is worry over the future. The overseas Chinese have always cherished the hope that their mother land will one day become prosperous and strong. The collapse of Peking's "great leap forward" has shown them that China cannot do without outside aid on a gigantic scale, let alone raise the living standard of her 700 million people. LiiiU Understanding Most of the overseas Chi nese have little understand ing of the issues involved in the Sino-Soviet quarrel. But they know of the withdrawel of Russian economic assist ance and technical coopera tion from their country. "What will come to China now?" is a frequent question asked in letters addressed to Hong Kong, where people are regarded as being better in formed about mainland con ditions than they are in Bang kok, Singapore or Jakarta. In an apparent attempt to counter this disillusionment, the Communist newspapers in Hong Kong have in recent weeks filled their columns with reports of improved liv ing conditions inside China, of progress in agriculture and industry. This emphasis on economic reports is coupled with a top level insistence on the neces sity of "relying on one's own strength." For instance, during the visit to Peking last month of the North Korean delegation led by President Choi Yong Kon, Chinese head of state Liu Shao-Chi praised the Ko reans for building an inde pendent economy and stres sed the importance of this ex- Dr. Johnson Named Dean of School Eugene Dr. Charles E.

Dr. Johnson is professor of accounting and head of the department of accounting and business statistics in the school of business administration. ample for other countries. Always with a sensitive ear to sentiment among the over seas Chinese, Peking gave a warning to fellow Asians against economic dependence on non-Asian countries - such as the Soviet Union. Motivating Reason The desire to build up good state relations with other Asians, as proposed to non Asians, appears to have been the motivating reason behind Peking's attitude towards the anti - Chinese riots in Indo nesia last May. Following the disturbances which inflicted serious dam age on Chinese properties and threatened Chinese lives in that neutralist country, Pek ing maintained a stony silence for 20 days. Finally, an authoritative Peoples Daily editorial on the riots laid the blame at the doorstep of "U. S. Imperial ism." Thus, the Chinese Commu nists repeated the wards of Indonesian President Su karno, who had referred to "disturbances incited by Indo nesian counter-revolutionaries and foreign .subversive ele ments, aimed at overthrowing the Indonesian republic and Sukarno himself." Faced with a complete cut off of Russian aid, and per haps trade relations, Peking has had the perspicacity to see that it cannot afford to antagonize the government of oil-rich, rice-rich Indonesia. Left In Disgust Literally thousands of over seas Chinese lured by Peking propaganda into giving up their holdings in Indonesia and journeying to China at the start of the "great leap forward" in 1958 have now left China in disgust and are stranded in Macao and Hong Kong. A very few have gone to Taiwan but most would like to get back into Indonesia if they could. A one-way smug gling traffic has sprung up between Hong Kong and Indo nesia. A European captain says he is being offered up to about $330 per person to carry Chinese stowaways into Indo- n e s 1 a n territorial waters, I ranges to take them off in where a local syndicate, ar-1 small boats. High Blood Pressure Said Traceable to Hereditary Factors All this has distressed the Peking regime, which has slackened off its efforts to at tract large numbers of over seas Chinese to the mainland for "socialist construction." The regime, faced with the growing reality of the split between the "haves" and the "have-nots" In world Com munism, is now relying princi pally on glowing newspaper accounts (without statistics) to preserve the image of strong and self-reliant nation of the first rank among the world powers. Presumably, the achieve ment of a nuclear capability is intended primarily to place the cap on this strength- I through-self portrayal. By DELOS SMITH UPI Science Editor New York - OIPH - By track ing down the brothers and sis ters of persons with severely high blood pressure from no apparent organic cause, a noted medical scientist made a powerful case "for the para mount Importance of genetic (hereditary) factors." Medical science generally accepts the existence of such factors in the unknown causes of the form of high blood pres sure called "essential hyper tension." The common scien tific doubts center around how important these factors are. Dr. Robert Piatt checked on 178 men and women with es sential hyper tension.

II blood pressures of their 250 brothers and sisters, many living in widely scattered parts of the world, were taken by cooperating physicians. These mass readings formed a pattern which demonstrated, in Piatt s view, that "essential hypertension is a specific in herited disorder of middle age." On the other hand, he added, "secondary hyperten sion (high blood pressure due to specific organic disorders) is not, in general, hereditary. Evidence From Twins Piatt also had evidence from three sets of identical twins who being identical would be expected to have identical heredities. One member of each set came to his attention originally as a patient with severe hypertension, upon in vestigation the other member of each set was found to have the disorder in similar degree. On the basis of his new study and his previous studies which date back some 20 years, he theorized that the time-bomb cause of the dis ease, set to go off in middle life, was transmitted from generation to generation by a single gene with incomplete dominance." i Thus it wouldn't necessarily operate even when combined in a given Individual with the same gene. But in proper com bination it would give rise to severe hypertension, he said. and alone it could cause a moderate persistent high blood pressure. Gene Modified He suggested the gene has been modified over many gen erations by the "natural se lection mechanism of evolu tion. The gene form which ex ploded into severe high blood pressure during youth has been "nearly eliminated," he said, because the persons who carried it died of the disorder before they could reproduce The gene form now pre valent "accurately begins to kill not in old age but in the post- reproductive years." Since the persons who have it already have their children natural selection now is "slow if not powerless, to affect it much further." ! He also suggested that it might confer some benefits. When It is operative on a les ser level it might enhance both the fertility and the re sistance to infective disease of the carrier. And it "might be the elimination of aging rela tives has survival value to the younger generation." Piatt reported his study to the technical journal, "The Lancet." He is professor of medicine at the university of Manchester, Eng., and has been knighted for his achieve ments in medical science. ACME'S HEAP BIG BARGAIN REPEAT OFFER ON THIS TREMENDOUS SALE!
