Red Chinese Army Unit
Defects to Soviets
TAIPEI. Formosa — A Red
Chinese battalion of 450 officers
and men defected to the Soviet
Union Aug. 1 from the province
of Sinkiang in northwest China,
the privately owned Chinese Na
tionalist news agency said today.
Red China charged last week
that the Soviets had lured or
forced thousands of Chinese from
Sinkiang’s district of Ili into the
Soviet Union and has rejected re
peated Peking demands to return
them.
The news agency, which claims
underground contacts on the main
land, said the defection of the ba
ttalion was the outcome of long,
secret negotiations with the Rus
sians.

Color Han
NEW YOKK lF— Walter Sto
vall. white husband of Charlayne
Hunter, one of two Negroes who
broke the color barrier at the Uni
versity of Georgia, says they were
married twice in ceremonies three
months apart.
In a statement Friday night.
Stovall said the first marriage took
place last March. Stovall is from
Georgia, one of several Southern
states which do not permit mar
riages between Negroes and
whites.
‘ It suffices to say,” he said,
"that on the advice of counsel
concerning the effect of racial
laws in the place of marriage, we
had another ceremony performed
in Detroit on June 8, 1963.”
The couple said they expect a
child in December.
Stovall said he was issuing a
statement ‘‘for the protection of
my wife” because of a question
about a marriage license applica
tion in Cleveland, Ohio. A license
was issued to them there on June
14 but it was never picked up.
Stovall continued: "We are two
young people who found ourselves
in love and did what we felt is re
quired of people when they are
in love and want to spend their
lives together. We got married.”
Stovall, reported to have told
the license clerk in Cleveland
that he had been married previ
ously, commented: “I have no rec
ollection of ever stating to the
clerk there that I had been mar
ried previously. But the fact is,
however, I had been — to the
same wife I have now — Char
layne.”
Asked if the March ceremony
would have any effect on his
wife’s diploma from Georgia, Sto
vall said: “I don’t thnk so. I hope
not. I really don’t know.”
University oficials have said
that if she was married while a
student, she broke university rules
and her diploma might be revoked.
A typical jet airliner flying the
145 - minute New York to Miami
trip burns about 5,000 gallons of
fuel. A like quantity of gasoline
would last an average car about
seven years.

Army Korean Turncoat
Returns from Red China
HONG KONG — Korean War
turncoat Scott L. Rush said yes
terday he regretted his decision to
go to Communist China after the j
Korean War.
“Only God knows why,” the 31- ,
year-old former U. S. Army ser- ;
geant told a news conference.
“I made a foolish mistake.”
Rush, of Marietta, Ohio, arrived
from Red China at noon with his
Chinese wife and year-old daught
er.
“I have seen both sides and I
think our system will work bet
ter,” he said.
Rush described conditions in
Red China from 1958 to the end
of 1960 as “hell.’ He said no Com
munist regime would have lasted
long if things were to remain the
same as they were then.
He attributed Red China’s “hard
time’ to the weather and Russian
pressure for Korean war debts.
Rush said industrialization in
Wuhan, central China, where he
worked in a textile factory as a
lathe operator, was virtually at a
standstill for lack of raw ma
terials.
He had visited many parts of
China. In many factories, he said,
production was low.
Rush was captured in November,
1959, while serving as a combat
photographer under the United
Nations command. He spent three
years in a prisoner of war camp
during which, he said, “The Chi
nese Communists tried to pump
Communism into me.’ He decided
to go to Red China out of curio
sity, Rush said.
