icado by Shanghai police today
despite efforts of the consulate to
obtain his release or send him aid.
Even a message from his wife

Olive was “very arrogant, smash
ed things on the desk at the police
station and damaged the watch
and fountain pen of policemen.”
His action, when he was arrest
ed for a traffic violation 24 hours
earlier, “violated police regula
tions,” they said. The Red news
paper said the American still was
being investigated.
The consulate said it had been
unable to learn Olive’s condition
or whether any charges had been
brought against him. The consul
ate said it had learned he was
beaten severely after he was
taken to the police station.
