Considered Spies
(By Harold K. Milks)

officers held by Chinese Commun

closed today that during 34 days
of solitary confinement in Harbin,
each was brought before a military

spying.
Maj. Robert Rigg of Chicago and
Capt. John W. Collins of Evanston,

nally learned from a borrowed ra
dio in their prison that they had
een convicted of “reconnoitering”
for Chinese government troops.
Rigg and Collins, assistant mili
tary attaches, were captured Mar.
1, north of Changchun, Manchuria.
They were released to a party of
Americans Thursday and were
brought here to report to the U. S.
embassy.
During their imprisonment, the
two said, they were accused of es
pionage on behalf of the Chinese
government, were frequently call
ed liars and several times were
threatened with torture because of
their refusal to sign statements c>f
“guilt.”
The stocky blonde Rigg said
they started their trip of inspection

Communists might reca p t u r e

Gains In Japan
TOKYO, (A*) — The moderately
s icial democrats showing
. - ,‘h which might land them
r emiership, became the dom
■ r ; arty in Japan’s House of
Ilr-'-esentatives Saturday on the
b .of complete unofficial re
■ rus from- Friday’s election.
The liberals and democrats —
c n ervative parties supporting
government of Premier Shige
■ a Yoshida—held a greater con
bhted total, but Social Democrats
-co-ed the greatest gains.
Returns showed this line-up: Sr>
• al Democrats 133, Liberals 131,
••".oerats 123. Cooperatives 31,
-'"■m mists 4. minorities 21. in
o >onde’it- 1
Voters elected Premier Yoshida
end 11 other cabinet ministers who
r'gd » the race in order to remain
in office. But by the heavy support
given Socialists, a substantial bloc
of voters served notice they want

and apparently forced formation
of a coalition government, at least.
STRONG FAMILY TIES
NANCY, France. (^P)—When the
four sons of Fibwer Briey of the
village of Xivray began going out
with the four daughters of farmer
Goujon of St. Jouir, it looked like
a good “Boy—meets—girl” story.
When one of the couples became
serious, it looked like a marriage.
Now they’re all married — the
last pair of them today.
Fuller said after the accident the
bus careened into guard rails on
the bridge approach and then ran
back onto the highway. It did rot
overturn. The bus carried 13 oer
sons, including the driver.
