Community Auditorium, THE PURGE IN CHINA The latest estimate of deaths caused by the Com- munist purge in China places the number at 14,000,000, since 1947. This number includes 500 United States prisoners of war captured in Korea. The largest group of persons reportedly killed by the Communists is a group of five million anti-Communists executed in rural areas having been charged with the crime of being a “landlord.” Most of these five million have been killed in the last two years, | | THOUGHT ‘Truman Rejects Conference Ideas; Blasts Ike And Mae FOR TODAY People’s Forum The Citizen welcomes expres- Between 1950 and 1952 it is reported, about three million Chinese were executed on the ground that they were Nationalist reactionaries. Another 2,600,000 are said to have met their death as “bandit agents,” and a- bout another million have been charged with being “treacherous merchants,” whatever these terms imply. The latest report, prepared by the AFL Free Trade Union Committee shows clearly that the Communists have stepped up their exectuions in the last two years to a pace surpassing anything the modern world has seen for many years.

Earlier this week Eisenhower messaged MacArthur that he would be happy to meet with him to dis- cuss any plans the former Far Eastern commander might ‘have for ending the Korean War. Sabre Jet fighters had been sent to Europe. The Sabres replace slower F-84 Thunderjets, which are being used in Korea as fighter-bombers. The Sabres are employed as top cover and tangle with the Russian-built MIG-15. Said Vandenberg of the F-86; “These are the same Sabre jets that won a 15-to-1 combat. superiority over the Eisenhower sent his telegram to MacArthur from the cruiser on which he is returning from the Korean trip he undertook to carry \out his campaign pledge.

He did say it would not lead to unduly heavy Allied casualties. Reporters pressed Truman as toe whether he considered Eisenhow er’s trip announcement a piece of demagoguery. The President said the announce- ment was a piece of demagoguery- and of course Eisenhower had to make the trip after saying he would.

It will be happy, that is, if clear up a situation on the “Old Stock Island Road” that has residents out there up in arms. It seems that a sizeable group ‘of youthful thrill seekers, probably |lies on that thoroughfare, are {holding motorcycle races nightly which last usually until dawn or until one or more of the cyclists is carried off to the hospital. Resi- dents out there are losing a lot of sleep and they don't like it. A motoreycle is a noisy machine and when 15 or 20 of the darned things race up and down the road for hours, sleep is simply out of the question for the more than one hundred familes who in- habit the area including a large number of children. Folks out there have pleaded with the youth ful hotrods, who are getting them- selves all steamed up at a neigh- boring bar before taking to the road, to move elsewhere but they seem to have a particular affec- |tion for that stretch of highway. | The real rub though is the non- | chalant attitude adopted by the | situation, They are apparently all | wrapped up in more important in- | vestigations and, despite repeated lrequests for action in bringing an | end to the law vivlations by the | motorcyclists, have failed to take any action. Petitions have been j jcirculated and complaints made, | jbut the youthful fanatics continue | \to smash themselves against co- onut trees and scrape large por- _tions of skin from their persons | ‘and keep homeowners on edge, jcontinually, As one person eo “This is the penalty for living in the county.
