Congressmen Flay
State Dept. Hand
ling of Ward Case
WASHINGTON. (/P)—'The state
department’s handling of the An
gue Ward case was under severe
Republican attack today, with
five lawmakers demanding the
immediate firing of responsible
officials “both high and low.”
The Congressmen, all members
of the House Foreign Affairs Com
mittee, issued a joint statement
yesterday blasting the department
for its “spineless performance” in
trying to get the U. S. consul gen
eral freed from a Chinese Com
munist jail in Mukden.
The angry lawmakers called it
“on of the most humiliating chap
ters in American diplomatic his
tory” and declared that “the loss
of face bv the United States is be- |
yond calculation.”
Ine of the House members, Rep. I
Judd of Minnesota, told a report
er the United States should have
tried “military action” in the
Ward case instead of “ignominous
ly seaking off the battlefield.”
Besides Judd, the statement was
signed by Reps. Chiperfield of
Illinois, Vorys of Ohio, Lawrence
H. Smith of Wisconsin, and Jack
son of California.
It bristled with phrases like
“unbelievable bungling” and “mis- j
handling” and said the depart- j
ment’s “failure to take firm ac
tion” is a “by-product of the in
credibly botched China policy;
which our government has pursued
for the last four years.”
The statement reserved particu- j
lar criticism for secretary of state ;
Acheson’s appeal to 30 nations—
including Russia for assistance in j
the Ward case.
Mother Glad To Be
Re-United With
Deserted Baby
PASCO, Wash. (JP)— Startled
garbagemen found a baby boy—
“blue as a bottle of ink”—buried
hal/ way down in a refuse can be
hind the city police building early
yesterday.
The infant let out a yell and
the garbagemen rushed their
“problem” to Police Sgt. Glenn
Stickles.
Postponing his Thanksgiving
dinner, Stickles set to work.
He found that two couples from
nearby Richland had gone to a
movie about a half-block from the
station the previous night. One of
the women has complained of ill
ness, left the theater and subse
quently was reported as missing
by the other couple before show
ing up at home early Thursday.
“I went out there and slowly
drew the story from her,” Stickles
recalled. “I took her to Our Lady
of Lourdes Hospital and the doc
-
tor ordered her to bed.
“The child already was in the
hospital and is kicking and crying
healthily. I guess the young i
mother is pretty happy now that
they’re together. She was certain
ly pretty upset.”
Sickles said the mother, 18
years old and unwed, came to the
tri-cities (Pasco-Richland-Kenne
wick> area about three weeks ago
from the Puget Sound area in
western Washington. After leav
ing the theater she had given
birth to the child in an empty
taxicab in a vacant lot behind the
police station. Then she had de
posited the baby in the garbage i
can and headed back for Richland
where she lived with a girl friend.
