Catholic Nuns Tell Of Stephen fiudmore Ill Treatment By Reds

By WILLIAM PARRCVIT

KONG KONG. June 'I-tReut- era)-Two Catholic Nuns have des- cribed how Chinese troops in Nanking beat them and held them prisoner in I room with six others for nearly a month.

The Nuns said they were often struck with rifle butts or kicked. They had been allowed to wear only underwear and aprons and were forbidden to pray or to speak to each other.

The two. Mother Marie Achilla (Julianna Wevber of Guzow, Po- landl and Mother Du B. Robert Lebis (Marcelle Blancherie of St. Armand, France) are members of the Franciscan Missionaries of Mary.

They arrived here yesterday af- ter expulsion by the Communists. w-ho condemned them at a trial they were not allowed to attend. They were accompanied by three other Franciscan Sistus. Two oth- ers were sentenced to 10 years' imprisonment.

The seven Sisters, together with a Chinese member of the order, were -held from April 19 to May 17 In in former dzplomatic resid- ence in Nanking. They were charged with the maltreatment and neglect of children in their 6211?.

The two Sisters said they hadl

all been removed from the Sacred Heart Orphanage on April 19. On April 23 they were shown a proc- lamation stating the public was dissatisfied with the decision at- ready taken to deport them and bad demanded a trial.

Stripped Of Possesaions

They were then stripped of practically all their possessions-

their religious habits. spectacIes,i

rosaries, crosses, rings and even their shoelaces.

Food, cooking utensils. linen and other necessities they had been allowed to bring were also re- moved.

Young male guards remained with them in the crowded room and watched them night and day. The guards shouted at them and at each other on every occasion and lights were kept on day &

night. V

No water was provided but they were allowed to buy it every two days with money their jailers had impounded from them. The Chi- nese Sister was permitted to go out every third day to buy food. which was eaten on the floor.

Towards the end of their im- prisonrment, they were told they had been been convicted by a people's court. The five ordered deported were given back their possessions and given tickets pur- chased from their own funds.

Iless Rubber To China But More To Soviet Union

LONDON, June '7 - (Reuters) -- Communist Chin-a's imports otl rubber dropped from a monthly average of 16,000 long tons in the first quarter of 1951 to 13,750 tons in April. .

Russia's imports in the same period jumped from 2,000 tons to 9,500 tons.

Report llpholds . CBO. control over All Radio Stations

OTTAWA. June 7-(CP)-Re- tentloit of CBC control over radio and television In Canada was re- ommended Friday in the report of the Masseyc mmlsslon on Arts and science.

Four of the five members of the Commission endorsed a recom- mendation thitt the CBC be left in control of both bi adcasting and telecasting.

The fifth member-Dr. Arthur Surveyer of Montreal-recom- mended establishment of an in- dependent board with jurisdiction over both privately and publicly- owned broadcasting and telecast- lng stations.

Members of the Commission were in "general agreement" on a recommendation that there be no Increase in the present 32.50 an- nual licence fee on radio receiv- ing sets. Dr. Surveyer expressed the opinion that the fee might be collected on every receiving set in a house as it once was, instead of on a single set.

The 200.000-word report was tabled in the Commons by Prime Minister St. Laurent. The Com- mission. headed by Rt, Hon. Vin- cent Massey of Toronto. recom- mended that capltal costs of es- tablishing a CBC national televis- ion service be provided from pub- no money by parliamentary grant. It also recommended that part of the cost of operating CBC tele- vision stations be financed by a license fee on receiving sets.

CBC officials have suggested that the initial fee on TV sets might be 310 a year. The fee would be collected from persons with receivers in areas reached by CBC telecasts.

The majority of the Commis- sion urged that no private tele- vision stations be licensed until the CBC has available national television programs and that all private stations be required to scrve as outlets for national pro- grams. It n.i,- mended that tele- xislon broadcasting in Canada be reviewed by an independent body not later than three years after the start of regular Canadian

Acheson said that MacArthur headquarters, the Central Intelli- gertce Agency. the Army Intel- ligence. and the State Department all were agreed last spring a North Korean attack was posible.

"But they were all in agreement that its launching in the summer of 1950 did not appear immlnent,' he added.

Acheson gave this report to the Senate armed services and foreign relations committees studying United states Far East policy and the firing of MacArthur. He will appear again tomorrow at 10 a. in.

telecuting. v TV Station .

The CEO is constructing a TV station in Toronto, which it hopes to have in operation late this year. It is constructing another station in Montreal. due to start tele- easts in 1952. Both stations will be able to produce recorded pro- grams for national use. But the steel shortage may delay foryears the establishment of additional TV outlets. '

The report recommended a new method for financing CBC defic- Its; an enlargement of the nine- member CBC board of governors to make it more widely represent- ative; changes in dealings of the board with radio broadcasters: coictlnuatlon of the ban on priv- ate radio station networks; lic- ences for private stations be granted for five years instead of three. and establishment of a sec- ond CBC French network.

The CBC was urged to refuse local commercial advertising ex- cept where advertising services from private stations are not av- ailable. It also was urged to elim- inate "less desirable" commercial program on commercial networks and spend money publicizing its own activities.

The report said the CBC. estab- lished in 1936. has "developed into the greatest single agency for na- tloiial unity. understanding and enlightenment." But there is "room for improvement.” The Commis- sion questioned "whether any of the declared objects of Canadian radio can be reconciled with the more than generous provision of soap operas." Regional program- ming and the day 'opment of local talent need further development.

On the operations of private stations, the report at one point said:

”There is, no doubt, a great variation in the performance of the many private stations; the programs.of some are satisfactory, and of a very few, praiseworthy. On the other hand, far too many stations, regulated in principle by the CBC, offer programs which must be described as regrettable...

"There is no apparent attempt to fulfil the proper function or the local station as we understand it: to reflect the life and Inter- ests of the community. and to use and develop the local talent av- ailable. . ."

The report recalled that in hearings before the Commission. the Canadian Association of Broadcasters, representing most of the privately-owned stations in Canada. had urged the establish- ment or an independent body tu control and regulate both private- ly and piibllcly-owned radio and television stations.

The principal complaint was that the CBC now ”is at one and the same time competitor, regu- lator. prosecutor. jury and Judith" The CAB. did not complain of unjust or inconsiderate treatment by the CBC board of governors. headed by A. D. Dunton. But the C.A.B. said a "generous and be- nign master could scarcely take

"The principal grievance of the private broadcasters is based, It seems ttuus. on I false mump- tlon that broadcasting in Canada is an industry." said the report. ”Broedcaatlng in Canada. in our vlew, in a public service directed and controlled in the public in- tereit by a body responsible to Parliament. . . .

"We believe that Canadian radio broadcasting legislation contem- plates and effectively provides for one national system; that the private stations have been licensed only because they can play a use- ful part within that system; and that the 080 control of network broadcasting. of the issue and re- newal of licenses. of advertising and of other matters related to radio broadcasting. Is a proper expression of the power of the CBC to exercise control over all radio broadcasting policies and programs in Canada." '

C. A. 3. Proposal!

The proposals of the C. A. B. would "either divide and destroy. or merely duplicate the present system of national control.” said the report.

The Commission said It had "no evidence" that the present CBC board ofgovernors had used its

powers harshly or unjustly.

Dr. Burveyer said he did not agree with demand: of the C. A.B. for permission to enter into broadcasting or telecuting agree- ments with American networks or Itations or with their desire to organize their own separate net- works. without authorization. But he did believe their demand for an independent regulatory body should be granted.

He suggested that a Canadian broadcasting and tslecastlng con- trol board be established with authority and Jurisdiction over the activities of both the private- ly and publicly-owned broadcast- ing and telecaeting stations. The five-man control board would re- port to the Minister of Transport.

The present 030 board of gov- ernors would be replaced by a. board of three directors. plus it chairman.

The control board would exer- cise the powers now in the hands of the 030. He disagreed with the statement of the majority: of his colleagues that an independent body would destroy the national system. The private stations could do nothing harmful to the na- tional system, he said. without authority of the control board. It would decide. for Instance, wheth- er private stations should be al- lowed to establish networks.
