U.S. ASKS COMMUNISTS TO FREE “DETAINED” CONSUL AND STAFF
WASHINGTON, Nov. 5 (Recd. 6 pm). The State Department announced that the United States Con-sql-General in Peiping, Mr. Edmund Glubb, had sent a letter to General Chouenlai, Foreign Minister of the Chinese Communist regime, asking that Mr Angus Ward, Consul at Mukden, and four members of his staff, be freed. The Chinese Communist radio announced recently that the five had been “detained” on charges of beating Chinese. Mr. Glubb asked that the entire Consulate staff be allowed to leave China as the Communists had promised on July 24. The United Press says Washington officials do not fear for the safety of the men. They are confident that even if they are convicted they will merely be expelled from the country amid an outburst of propagandistic abuse.
