THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 25, 1954 HERALD AND NEWS. KLAMATH FALLS, OREGON PAGE SEVEN US Leaders Study Vays To Free Chinese Held Airmen By WARREN SOGERS JR. told the United States will step up WASHINGTON in 'M.ocr!aW to the Chinese Nationalist Help Your Fire Fighter Ring the Belli short ot war were be tar esJrelullv weighed today by American offl clals charged with trying to win Ireedom Jor 13 Americans con demned to prison by Red China. Witli military action apparently ruled out President Eisenhower yesterday pledged every step "hii manly possible within peaceful means" these State Department officials had three principal av enues open to them: , , 1. To protest in "the strongest terms possible," as they already have aet out to do, to Red China's' representative at Geneva. 3. To bring pressure on Com munist China, as they have In the past, through British and other Al lied representatives at Peiping, or , perhaps even through the Rus sians.' . , PROTEST 3. To go to the United Nations, as they did with protests against atrocities in Korea and the shoot ing down of an American Diane. with demands lor a resolution of censure. . , . And while they were at it, these officials could do their best toward mobilizing world opinion against . Red China for what the United States has called the "amoral" and "outrageous" Jailing of innocents on trumped up charges. Wide spread publio Indignation on this score could hurt Peiping's drive for diplomatic recognition and a seat at the U. N. Red China announced Tuesday that 11 U. S. airmen and two U. 8. civilians captured during the Ko rean War had been, sentenced as "spies" to prison terms ranging from 4 years to life. Yesterday Peiping radio broadcast that these 13 plus five Americans who had died were among 230- saboteurs the Chinese Reds said were cap tured or killed Inside China since 1961. . ' PEACEFUL MEANS ' Elsenhower said yesterday the U. 8. government is doing every thing "humanly - possible within peaceful means to get our boys back.". His assurances were given to the mother of one of the im prisoned men by White House Press Secretary James C. Hager ty, after she complained of unsuc cessful efforts to reach the Presi dent by telephone.. The moUier was Mrs. Hurley L. Baumer, of Lewisburg, Pa., wose son, Maj. William J. Baumer, was sentenced to eight years in prison. Baumer and the other 10 airmen were aboard a B29 shot down Jan. 12, 1953. The two civlians were on an earlier flight lost between South Korea and Japan. Members of Congress were quick to voice indignation. Sen. Purtell (D-Conn) urged all possible action to free the 13. Sen. Welker (R Idaho) said force should be used. Sen. John M. Butler (R-Md) said other than diplomatic measures should be decided? on- '"without delay,- without compromise or with out piecemeal appeasement." SERVE NOTICE Rep. Thomas J.. Lane (D-Mass) said the State Department should serve notice on the Reds that they have a week to fly the men out to Ireedom. If this isn't complied with, he said, Peiping should be forces and allow them "to engage in 'counteroffensive action against the Chinese mainland effectively sealing off all Red commerce." Washington has Instructed U. S. Cousul General Franklin Gowen at ,Gtneva to make "the strongest possible protest" to his Red Chi nese counterpart, Weng Peng-chiu. Gowen tried to do this yester day, but reported he expects no reply for "two or three days on his demand tor a face-to-fnce meeting. This direct contact, es tablished at the Geneva Far East peace conference last summer especially for prisoner exchance discussions, is the only direct dln- lomatic channel open between Washington and Peiping. GENEVA OVERTURES Should the Geneva overtures prove fruitless it was expected that U. S. diplomats would fall back on the measures which they have used in the past. These gen erally are brought to bear on Pei ping through the British represent ative there, but sometimes through lotner Allied representatives ac- credited to Red China. As far as going to the U. N., American officials appear some what cool. No practical ' results came from U. S. Chief Delegate iHenry Cabot Lodge's denunciation last September of the Red Chi nese shooting down of an Ameri can plane. . , In all such maneuvers in the U. N., America runs the risk of opening the. door for Red Chinese membership. -MO' THAN 65,00O,FIRE FIGHTERS" WILL COME AROUND FOR ONE WEEK BEGINNING THANKSGIVING DAY TO PICK UP YOUR CONTRIBUTION TO- MUSCULAR DYSTROPHY Church Club Organized Whale Washed Up Near Waldport WALDPORT W The biggest Thanksgiving Day event here in years is the 30-foot whale that was washed ashore. Residents were thankful, too- thankful that it was 1 V, mUes south of here instead of right on the edge of town. The whale apparently had died only shortly before the tide brought it onto the beach Wednesday morn ing. At least, it had not been dead long enough to offend the nose. No plans have been made yet for disposing ot the carcass. A Cruiser Club has been organ ized at Mt. Laki Community Church to provide fun and fellow ship for young couples of the church. The Initial meeting,' held earlier in the week at the church social hall, opened with a potluck supper at 6:30 p.m. following which games were played.
